Chapter 320 Murong Han and Huan'er "meet again"!
Murong Yi and Lin Qianqian followed closely behind Murong Han. The three of them remained silent all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Murong Han suddenly stopped in his tracks. Murong Yi and Lin Qianqian also stopped, exchanging a puzzled glance before stepping forward together.
Lin Qianqian looked concerned and asked softly, "Fifth Prince, what's wrong? Is there something you're worried about?" As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of worry, and looked at Murong Han.
Murong Yi's lips curled slightly, with a hint of teasing: "Fifth Brother, are you scared? I never thought that the Fifth Prince, who has never been afraid of anything since childhood, would actually back down at the last minute! Humph!"
He crossed his arms, his face showing a nonchalant, playful expression, but his eyes were fixed on Murong Han, trying to find a flaw in his expression.
Murong Han looked up at Murong Yi, his gaze thoughtful and hesitant, as if he were struggling internally. Then, he slowly lowered his head, gently pursed his lips, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of unyielding sorrow seemed to linger on his forehead.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian's delicate brows furrowed into a deep frown, her eyes filled with heartache. She quietly tugged at Murong Yi's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.
Then, she turned her head, a gentle smile returning to her face, and whispered to Murong Han, "Your Highness, please don't listen to him. Let me go in with you!" Her voice was soft, as if it carried a calming power.
Murong Han smiled slightly at her, and was about to respond when a series of crisp and hurried footsteps approached from afar.
Inside the Prince's mansion, Huan'er rushed out, her expression anxious and excited, repeatedly saying, "Princess Consort, Prince, you're finally back! Jincheng, he's fallen ill again!" She ran to the crowd, suddenly looked up, and met Murong Han's gaze.
In an instant, the urgency on her face froze, her eyes widened in terror as if she had seen a ghost, and an inexplicable fear made her body tremble uncontrollably. Her legs went weak, and she was about to collapse to the ground.
Murong Han instinctively reached out to support her, but Lin Qianqian moved faster, rushing over like a light shadow and steadily embracing Huan'er. Her face was full of worry and concern as she anxiously asked, "Huan'er, are you alright?"
Huan'er shook her head hurriedly, her voice slightly choked: "Your Highness, I'm fine!" After saying that, she glanced at Murong Yi and gave a slight bow.
Then, she secretly glanced at Murong Han. Although she was filled with fear, her years of upbringing still reminded her of the proper order of things. She nodded slightly and bowed, her voice trembling, saying, "Greetings...Greetings...Fifth Prince..."
Murong Han stood frozen in place, as if he had been frozen in place. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he stared intently at Huan'er, the scene from that day uncontrollably resurfacing in his mind.
The scene haunted him like a ghost, causing him to furrow his brow and tremble slightly. He wanted to say something, but it was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word. The memories of the past intertwined with the reality of the present, filling his face with pain and struggle.
Murong Han's expression faltered slightly, his gaze lingering briefly on Huan'er. After a moment's hesitation, he slowly spoke, trying to keep his voice steady: "Get up!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it gently, pretending to be nonchalant and trying to conceal the turmoil in his heart. However, the slightly taut corners of his mouth betrayed his unease.
Lin Qianqian looked at Huan'er with heartache, holding her arms tightly as if afraid she would fall again, her eyes full of concern and comfort: "Huan'er, it's alright, don't be afraid." As she spoke, she gently patted Huan'er's shoulder, trying to give her strength.
Murong Yi stepped forward, looked at Murong Han, and said, "Fifth Brother, she is Huan'er!"
Upon hearing this, Huan'er was startled, as if struck by something. A look of panic and inferiority flashed across her face, and she lowered her head instantly, as if trying to hide herself.
After a long while, she slowly came to her senses, her voice filled with anxiety and worry as she said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Jincheng is sick again! He has developed many rashes all over his body!"
"What!" Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian's eyes flashed with alarm, and her expression instantly turned serious. "Okay, I understand!" she said, looking urgently at Murong Yi and Murong Han, her tone filled with an undeniable urgency: "Let's go in quickly! Don't delay any longer!"
"Mmm-hmm." Murong Yi nodded hurriedly, her expression equally anxious. Murong Han was absent-minded, his brows furrowed, his eyes somewhat unfocused, as if he were still lost in his own thoughts, but out of politeness, he still nodded slightly.
Murong Yi naturally took Lin Qianqian's arm, and the two walked quickly inside. Huan'er followed behind them with her head down, never daring to look at Murong Han, her steps hurried and somewhat cautious. Murong Han followed behind Huan'er, his steps slow, as if each step carried a heavy burden, as he slowly entered the palace.
