Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

The next day.

Qin Ruhuan was still asleep when she was awakened by Chunhua: "Princess, get up and have breakfast!" Qin Ruhuan did not sleep well last night and was sleepy.

After she finished washing up with Chunhua's help, she came to the table. Looking at the simple porridge and side dishes on the table, she had no appetite and only ate a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.

"Chunhua, prepare some gifts and let's go to the Huo Mansion to visit grandpa." Qin Ruhuan said.

Soon, everything was ready, and Qin Ruhuan took the gifts and went to the Huo Mansion in a sedan chair.

After arriving at the Huo Mansion and informing everyone, Qin Ruhuan was welcomed into the mansion.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw my aunt Zhang sitting there crying, her eyes red and swollen.

"Aunt, please don't cry and hurt yourself." Qin Ruhuan hurried forward and held Zhang's hand tightly.

She said with a distressed look on her face, "Uncle is blessed with a long life, he will be fine. You cry all day like this, if uncle comes back and sees you so haggard, he will feel so sad."

When Zhang saw Qin Ruhuan, she couldn't stop crying and said with a sob, "Ruhuan, your uncle was injured on the battlefield and his life or death is still unknown. Your grandfather is worried all day and has lost his appetite. What will happen to this family?"

Qin Ruhuan gently patted Zhang's back and said softly, "Aunt, you must believe that uncle will be able to turn danger into safety!"

"Our Huo family has been loyal for generations. God will surely bless uncle to return safely. And I have sent someone to pick up uncle. I believe there will be news soon."

Zhang wiped her tears and said in a trembling voice, "I hope so, Ruhuan. But the war is not over yet, your uncle and two cousins ​​are also on the battlefield, and there is no news so far. I am really worried."

Qin Ruhuan held Jin's hand and said firmly, "Aunt, don't worry too much. Uncle and cousins ​​are all brave and skilled warriors. They will surely return victorious. We must take good care of ourselves at home and not let them worry."

At this time, General Huo walked out from the inner room, looking tired and worried.

Qin Ruhuan quickly stepped forward to support her grandfather and said softly, "Grandpa, you should take care of your health and don't worry too much about your uncle and the others."

General Huo sighed and said, "Ruhuan, your uncle was injured on the battlefield, and there is no news about your uncle and your cousins. I am really worried."

Qin Ruhuan looked at her grandfather firmly and consoled him, "Grandpa, you are a veteran hero. All the men in our Huo family are strong and steadfast. Uncle and his friends will surely be able to overcome the difficulties and return safely. If you are so worried and exhausted, how will they blame themselves when they return?"

General Huo patted Qin Ruhuan's hand and said with emotion: "Ruhuan, you are a sensible child, but this war is dangerous, how can I not worry."

Qin Ruhuan helped grandpa sit down and said, "Grandpa, our Huo family fought hard for the country, and God will definitely bless us. I have sent people to pick up my uncle, and I believe there will be good news soon. The court will not sit idly by and will definitely provide full support."

General Huo nodded slightly: "I hope so, Ruhuan. But I am always worried."

Qin Ruhuan poured a cup of tea for Grandpa and handed it to him: "Grandpa, just relax and have a good rest. When uncle and his men return triumphantly, our Huo Mansion will be lively again."

General Huo drank a sip of tea, and his expression eased a little: "Ruhuan, you are the one who can make grandpa feel better."

Just then, Huo Wenying walked in hurriedly.

"Grandpa, cousin!" Huo Wenying looked solemn.

Qin Ruhuan hurriedly asked, "Cousin, is there any new news?"

Huo Wenying shook his head, frowning, "There is still no definite news about my uncle and the others, and the people I sent out haven't come back yet. However, I have tried every possible way to find out."

Qin Ruhuan comforted him, "Cousin, don't be too anxious. Let's wait a little longer."

Huo Wenying sighed: "Cousin, the family is now supported by me. I only regret that I can't go to the battlefield and fight alongside them."

Qin Ruhuan looked at Huo Wenying and said firmly: "Cousin, you should take good care of the family in the rear so that uncle and the others don't have to worry about anything. This is also a contribution to the Huo family."

Huo Wenying nodded: "My cousin is right, but the days of waiting are really hard to endure."

Qin Ruhuan gently patted Huo Wenying on the shoulder and said, "Cousin, we must believe in the abilities of our uncles and believe that the glory of the Huo family will continue."

Huo Wenying's eyes gleamed: "Don't worry, cousin, I will never bring shame to the Huo family. No matter how difficult it is, I will support this family."

After lunch, Qin Ruhuan returned to Prince Jing's Mansion with her maid.

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw Fei Ye running over in a hurry, looking a little nervous: "Princess, it's bad, there are several uninvited guests in the palace."

Qin Ruhuan frowned: "Who is so bold?"

Fei Ye lowered his voice and said, "It was someone from the Third Prince's residence. He said he was ordered by the Third Prince to discuss important matters with the Princess."

Qin Ruhuan's heart sank, knowing full well that the Third Prince had always been at odds with King Jing, and he must have had no good intentions in sending someone here this time.

She calmed herself down and said, "Take me to see them."

When I arrived at the reception room, I saw several men in fancy clothes sitting there with a proud look on their faces.

The leader saw Qin Ruhuan coming in and said in a sarcastic tone, "Princess Jing, how are you?"

Qin Ruhuan looked at them coldly: "I wonder why you all came here today?"

The man said with a fake smile: "The Third Prince heard that King Jing was away on a military expedition and the princess was lonely in the mansion, so he asked us to come and visit her."

Qin Ruhuan snorted coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, Third Prince. I am doing fine in the mansion. Don't worry about me."

The man insisted, "Princess Jing, in this situation, you have to plan for your future. The outcome of King Jing's expedition is unpredictable. You might as well join the Third Prince and he will ensure you a life of wealth and glory."

Qin Ruhuan glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense! My husband will definitely return victorious, and you villains will never succeed with your schemes!"

At this time, Fei Ye stepped forward and shouted angrily: "You bold lunatics! How dare you speak nonsense in Prince Jing's mansion and slander the prince and the princess! I think you are tired of living!"

The leader glanced at Fei Ye and said disdainfully: "You are just a small guard, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me!"

Fei Ye gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and said loudly: "As a guard of Prince Jing's Palace, I, Fei Ye, swear to defend the dignity of the palace to the death! As long as I am here, I will never allow you to disrespect the princess!"

"Prince Jing's Mansion does not welcome you! Gentlemen, please go in!" Qin Ruhuan said with a cold face and drove them away.
