Chapter 89 Murong Qing Collapses and Leaves
A hint of concern and doubt flashed in Lin Qianqian's eyes. She took light steps and quickly walked to the person who had fallen, asking softly, "Who are you?"
Ye Zhilan followed closely behind, and when she saw the scene before her, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth, her eyes filled with worry.
Lin Qianqian turned to look at Ye Zhilan with a blank expression. Before she could ask anything, Murong Lin recognized her first. Her eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with excitement as she shouted, "Seventh Sister~ What are you doing here?" She then hurriedly reached out to help Murong Qing up, unable to contain her emotions, "You're finally back! Do you know how much we've missed you~"
Murong Qing lowered her head slightly, her shoulders hunched, her plain clothes contrasting sharply with the elaborate attire of those around her. Her eyes were filled with self-doubt and unease; she dared not meet Murong Lin's eager gaze, and only weakly said, "Eighth Sister... I... I miss you so much..."
Lin Qianqian frowned slightly, her eyes filled with doubt and pity, and asked softly, "Eighth Princess, who is this...?"
Murong Lin took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her excited heart. Then, she generously took Murong Qing's hand, her face beaming with joy and excitement. Her voice was clear and bright: "This is my long-lost seventh sister! Although seventh sister has been away from the palace for a long time, the bond between us sisters has never faded. In my heart, seventh sister will always be the sister who loves me dearly." As she spoke, Murong Lin's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at her with deep affection.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian suddenly understood, smiled slightly, and respectfully bowed to her, "Your subject greets the Seventh Princess!"
"No, don't do this..." she hurriedly stopped her, leaving Lin Qianqian bewildered. Murong Qing felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled in her heart.
She looked around, memories of the past flooding back, yet she felt a deep sense of loss and loss. At that moment, her only thought was to escape. She knew that her past disobedience had undoubtedly left a deep scar on her mother's heart. She feared facing her mother's potentially disappointed and reproachful gaze. In her mind, her willfulness had already broken her mother's heart, and might even have earned her her utter contempt. So, she gritted her teeth, turned to leave, but Murong Lin held her arm tightly, preventing her from breaking free.
Murong Lin gripped Murong Qing's sleeve tightly with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling with sobs as she pleaded, "Seventh Sister, please don't go! Please don't leave again! Waaah... These past years without you, my heart feels so empty. I have so much to say to you."
Murong Qing looked at Murong Lin, tears welling in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and choked out, "Lin'er, I know how good you are to me, but... just let me go! Just pretend I never existed!"
Ye Zhilan moved gracefully over and gently patted Murong Lin's back to comfort her, saying, "Eighth Sister, why are you doing this to yourself? Don't you miss your brothers and sisters? Don't you miss Mother? Everyone has you in their hearts and is looking forward to your return."
Although Lin Qianqian was unaware of the situation, she felt compassion upon seeing it and said softly, "Princess, don't be anxious. Everything can be turned around. You may be conflicted right now, but if you miss this opportunity, you may regret it. Calm down and think it over again."
Murong Qing felt the emotions that had been suppressed for many years erupt like a volcano, and she suddenly broke down and cried, roaring with pain, inner turmoil, and helplessness. Then, with all her might, she broke free from Murong Lin and Ye Zhilan's grasp and ran away like a wild horse.
As fate would have it, at that very moment, the Third Prince, Murong Lin, was walking towards them. In the dim moonlight, he could vaguely make out the person in front of him and couldn't help but blurt out, "Qing'er~" However, at this moment, Murong Qing was completely overwhelmed by her surging emotions and had lost all reason. She didn't care about anything else and rushed straight out without pausing her steps.
Murong Lin watched Murong Qing's departing figure, then slowly turned to look at the three of them standing there, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion. He seemed to be stuck in a deep quagmire, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
