“Huan Huan has been wronged.” (Part One)

Lin Bozhou was going to leave, just like that?
In this instant, Meng Huan suddenly widened his eyes.
He looked up in disbelief as a gloating laugh came from behind him. “Looks like a destined couple is about to be separated forever.”
Meng Huan’s lips turned a few shades paler.
How could he, how could Lin Bozhou…
How could he not understand the hint in the letter?
When he was writing that letter, Echul was staring at him like a hawk. He did not dare to include any personal message, only daring to write about how much he hated Lin Bozhou. However, Echul was extremely astute, and even the reason Meng Huan gave as to why he hated the man was scrutinized strictly. He was not allowed to write anything that was not known to a third party.
So, Meng Huan wrote in his letter—Lin Bozhou, I will never forgive you for what you did to my father.
This matter was well known both inside and outside the court, and of course Echul was aware of it as well, so he did not stop it.
But!
Lin Bozhou had already explained to Meng Huan the real reason why Meng Xueming was demoted, and Meng Huan carried no grudge against the man since then. Lin Bozhou was fully aware of this…
Why was he leaving without looking back?
Did he not see him?
At the gate, a guard urged, “Those at the back, move forward!”
As the figure of the man moved, Meng Huan was taken towards the city gate. His heart, hands, and feet turned cold. An indescribable sense of dizziness surged in his head, and his steps wavered slightly.
Was the runaway wife plot inescapable after all?

If he stepped out of that gate, would he and Lin Bozhou be at odds from then on, walking down different paths?

There was a sour-feeling at the tip of Meng Huan’s nose, then an inexplicable pain welled up. He stared blankly, unsure of what to do. The only way out now was to take advantage of the crowd, but with Echul’s knife at his back, there was a high possibility of being hurt if he resisted.

As he thought about how to escape, one guard at the gate asked, “What’s in the bag?”
“Clothes and some books.”
Echul lowered his gaze and handed the bag to the guard, who rummaged through it before tossing it on the ground impatiently. “Scram then.”
Echul’s face changed for a split second, but he still bent down to pick up his bag meekly. However, just as he was bending down, the guard suddenly jumped him, as if the guard had become a completely different person from before. The guard moved fast enough that he got a tight hold around Echul’s neck. Dong! Then he tried to kick Echul’s knee and pin him to the ground.
“What is going on?!!”
“What’s happening?”
“Why are people fighting?!”
The orderly crowd backed away, one after another, in shock.
The people disguised as a patrol rushed forward from beside the guards, breaking the crowd up. Meng Huan took a few steps back, not sure how things became like this. But then, something in his mind clicked as he turned around and ran for his life back into the city.
This was a trap!!!
Lin Bozhou… was saving him…
Meng Huan really wanted to fucking cry, but before he allowed himself to cry, he did not forget to run as hard as he could. Echul pulled out the knife from his waist and stabbed the guard. Raising his head, he saw Meng Huan running back into the crowd. He pushed the soldier, restraining him, away and made a mad sprint towards Meng Huan!
Looking as if he had gone insane.
He could not stand anyone deceiving and betraying him.
But he knew that Meng Huan had deceived him.
Now, with people at the city gate surrounding him, there was a good chance that he would not escape, but even so, he had to kill Meng Huan before he was captured.
The hot breath poured out of Meng Huan’s throat as his knees screamed with exhaustion. Despite that, he ran desperately, pushing through the crowd and trying to get as far away from the madman as possible. But he was so tired. He was running out of strength, and Echul’s horrifying face was getting closer and closer behind him—
The moment Meng Huan looked back and came face-to-face with him, his heart pounded so hard that he almost blacked out. As his knees gave up on him, he threw himself forward, expecting to slam into the ground, but instead, he landed in warm, strong arms.
He felt his skeleton was about to fall apart. As he fell into the arms, he dropped to his knees, but hands wrapped tightly around his back, supporting all of his weaknesses like pillars.
Meng Huan barely reacted before cold sleeves carrying the scent of blood brushed his face, drawing him closely into an embrace, strangling his narrow waist tightly and hugging him deeply, almost squeezing out all the oxygen in him.
“You liar!!!”
An enraged voice rang out from behind.
The person holding him shifted to holding him with one hand around his waist, lifted a leg and kicked Echul, who had lunged forward, to the ground.
A dizzy spell rose in Meng Huan’s head that could no longer be suppressed. He felt bone-tired and just wanted to sleep. In the last moment before his eyes closed, he raised his head—
The moment he saw Lin Bozhou’s face, the stone in Meng Huan’s heart finally fell.
He did not seem to have the energy to care about any bloodshed; instead, he complied with what his body wanted and quietly closed his eyes.
–
The sky in the royal compound gradually darkened, with the leaves shaking gently from the evening breeze.
At the entrance of the bedchamber, You Jin tried to enter with a basin of hot water, but the young eunuch stopped him. “Father, let’s just leave the basin outside; His Royal Highness will not let anyone in.”
You Jin frowned and said, “They’re doing that?”
“…Doing what?” The young eunuch smiled. “What?”
“You know… that. I got a glimpse of the master when he was brought in. He is too thin and clearly not well. If His Royal Highness is still thinking about that, despite how weak the master is, that will be too tormenting—” You Jin frowned. “Although I also understand the logic of absence making the heart grow fonder.”
A soft, unmistakable voice rang out from inside the door. “You Jin!”
You Jin quickly shut his mouth, leaned against the door, and said, “Your Royal Highness, the hot water is here.”
“Bring it in.”
You Jin gently slapped his lips, picked up the basin, and entered with careful steps. He saw the figure sitting beside the bed, dressed in perfect condition, while the master lay under the quilt, not yet awake. Lin Bozhou was holding the thin white wrist sticking out from the bedding.
Lin Bozhou gave You Jin a glance. “Doing what?”
You Jin quickly knelt down and said, “It was nothing.”
He could clearly feel that Lin Bozhou had been looking at him very unfavorably since the last time he went out with Meng Huan, which had resulted in Meng Huan’s kidnapping.
“Your Royal Highness,” You Jin mentioned with caution, “the kitchen asked when Your Royal Highness will dine.”
Lin Bozhou lowered his gaze and replied, “Have them keep the food warm so we can eat once Huan Huan wakes up.”
“Understood.”
You Jin retreated out of the room.
In the bedchamber, Lin Bozhou and Meng Huan were left alone. Lin Bozhou wrung hot water from the handkerchief and wiped Meng Huan’s sweaty, pale forehead. His fingers rested beside the youth’s ear, and when he saw a strand of black hair stuck to his rosy lips, he reached out and gently brushed it away.
He looked at the sickly and thin youth, who had his eyes tightly closed.
It had only been a few days since he had last seen the youth, yet he had become slightly unrecognizable. He could imagine how much hardship Meng Huan endured at the hands of those barbarians.
Lin Bozhou wiped away a smudge on the back of Meng Huan’s hand. As if he could not hold back anymore, he leaned down, lowered his forehead, and said through gritted teeth, “Huan Huan, maybe if I had to wait one more day for you, I would have gone crazy…”
The person in his arms remained unconscious, not giving an answer.
“Physician Zhou said that you are too weak for me to touch you,” Lin Bozhou approached, brushing his lips and saying, “but I have been missing you for so long, and I really want to hold you, want to…”
Lin Bozhou appeared calm, but his words were like a deranged man murmuring to himself uncontrollably. His voice was low and hoarse. “You took my life away.”
The sleeping chamber remained quiet as Lin Bozhou wiped the youth’s forehead. He stayed seated, not yet fully recovered from the feeling having regained what had been lost.
He had sat by the bedside all afternoon, refusing to listen to any advice. Just sitting there, thinking that he could never sit long enough and that he could never spend enough time with Meng Huan,
Finally, the figure under the bedding moved slightly.
