Chapter 314 "We will definitely stand up for you!"
At this moment, Huan'er was already in tears, sobbing uncontrollably, her thin body trembling violently.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian felt heartbroken. She quickly bent down, gently embraced Huan'er, her face full of tenderness and pity, and softly comforted her.
Xiaodie quickly came over and gently patted Huan'er's back, her eyes full of concern.
Wuming slowly walked to Murong Yi's side, his brows furrowed slightly, his expression showing some worry. He cupped his hands and asked, "Your Highness, how do you intend to handle this matter?" As he spoke, he pointed to Su Wan'er, who was being supported by the guards and looked disheveled.
Murong Yi's face was cold and stern, his eyes sharp as cold stars, exuding an innate majesty. He narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke coldly, "Su Wan'er, although she has not done anything to wrong me, her character is immoral. As a concubine in the Prince's mansion, she actually intended to harm the legitimate son. Such a vicious heart is truly despicable! How can such a woman be worthy of my love!" After saying this, he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his teeth clenched, and his face was full of determination.
Hearing this, Su Wan'er knew her chances were slim and stopped pretending. She suddenly threw her head back and burst into wild laughter, a shrill and insane sound, her face contorted with madness: "Hahahaha, laughable, hahahaha~"
Murong Yi's face was so gloomy it could drip water. He waved his hand and said in a cold voice, "Throw her out of the palace and never let her set foot in the palace again!"
Su Wan'er laughed wildly, her laughter echoing throughout the palace. As she was carried out step by step, the laughter gradually subsided until it disappeared.
Murong Yi approached Huan'er with steady steps, his posture as upright as a pine tree. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes carrying a hint of authority yet also a touch of gentleness, and looked down at Huan'er, saying, "Get up!"
Huan'er lowered her eyes and bowed respectfully, her voice soft yet somewhat reserved: "Your Highness~" Then, she raised her head, her gaze sweeping over Lin Qianqian, Xiao Die, and Wuming in turn, a slight smile of relief appearing on her lips, before bowing again, "Your Highness~"
Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie quickly stepped forward and gently helped Huan'er up, one on each side.
Lin Qianqian held Huan'er's hands in both, her gaze so tender it could melt hearts, and said softly, "Huan'er, don't worry, you won't suffer anymore! Su Wan'er has reaped what she sowed!"
Xiaodie nodded vigorously beside her, echoing, "Yes, Huan'er, I never imagined you'd suffered such a great injustice." As she spoke, a tear welled up in her eyes, filled with heartache.
Huan'er's eyes welled up with tears, and she knelt down in front of Lin Qianqian with a thud, sobbing, "Your Highness's kindness is beyond my ability to repay!"
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian looked anxious and immediately reached out to help Huan'er up, holding her arms tightly with both hands. She scolded her, "Don't do this. There's no need for such a big ceremony between us. From now on, we're family."
Lin Qianqian held Huan'er's hand tightly, her eyes filled with determination and care, and said solemnly, "Huan'er, don't worry, with the Prince here, he will definitely stand up for you! Since the Fifth Prince did such a thing to you, he has to take responsibility for you!"
Huan'er lowered her head slightly, her expression sorrowful and filled with deep inferiority. Her hands unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes, and her voice trembled slightly: "Your Highness, I am just a lowly maid, how can I compare to the esteemed Fifth Prince? I dare not hope for too much. As long as I can stay by the child's side, I will be content. I will never forget the great kindness and virtue that the Prince and Princess have shown me."
After saying this, tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back, her humble posture heartbreaking.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian frowned slightly, gently cupped Huan'er's face in her hands, and made her look directly into her eyes. She said earnestly, with a hint of reproach, "Huan'er, I've said this so many times. All people are born equal, there is no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly. Moreover, even the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners. The Fifth Prince has made a mistake and should be punished accordingly. Don't be so self-conscious or belittle yourself. Now that the Prince and I know about this matter, we will definitely uphold justice for you and will not let you suffer this injustice in vain."
Her eyes were filled with unwavering determination, and her warm hand gently stroked Huan'er's cheek, as if to pass on courage and strength to her.
Lin Qianqian moved gracefully towards Murong Yi, her eyes filled with concern and inquiry. She tilted her head slightly, looking directly at Murong Yi, and said earnestly, "Your Highness, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Murong Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn. After a moment of contemplation, he turned his gaze to Huan'er, his eyes filled with reassurance and impartiality: "Huan'er, the Princess Consort is right, you are indeed the victim in this matter. Although you are a maid, in this world, law and human sentiment still exist, and no one can trample on the dignity of another. Rest assured, I will make sure Fifth Brother takes responsibility for you. If he disagrees, then I will report to my elder brother and the Empress Dowager, and let them decide!" His voice was deep and powerful, every word exuding an unquestionable authority.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian nodded gently, a hint of approval and relief flashing in her eyes. Then she turned around and gently patted Huan'er's shoulder to reassure her.
Huan'er's eyes reddened, tears welling up, unable to contain her emotion any longer. She knelt down again with a thud, her voice choked with sobs: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what virtue or ability do I possess to receive such protection from you two? Such immense kindness, Huan'er can only repay even a fraction of it by being reborn as your ox or horse in the next life." Her body trembled slightly, her forehead lightly touching the ground, all in gratitude for the two of them.
Murong Yi slightly raised his hand, his movements gentle yet carrying the unquestionable air of a superior, and gestured for Huan'er to rise, saying gently, "Rise, there's no need for such a grand gesture. I will certainly resolve your grievances properly."
His gaze was full of comfort, like the warm spring sun, trying to dispel the long-standing gloom in Huan'er's heart.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian immediately stepped forward, gently placed her hands on Huan'er's arms, and slowly helped her up. She leaned down slightly and whispered in Huan'er's ear, "Get up quickly. Don't be so polite in the future. We will definitely help you get justice for what you have suffered."
Huan'er felt a warm glow in her heart and returned Lin Qianqian's smile with gratitude and tenderness.
