I insist

Chapter 216: Tacit Understanding and Self-Reproach

When Ming Taicheng returned to the Imperial Hospital, he was still preoccupied with how to save Song Miqiu. After all, this was no small matter, and if Song Miqiu was not rescued quickly, Ming Taicheng was afraid that she would end up in prison.

Not to mention Lin Yecheng eyeing Song Miqiu with predatory intent, Song Miqiu's frail and delicate appearance meant that even the slightest breeze could knock her over.

With a body like that, how long could he stay in a cold, damp prison?

Thinking of this, Ming Taicheng's brows furrowed with worry and anxiety. He had no heart to deal with the work at hand, his mind was filled with anxiety, and he kept waiting for his shift to end.

After finally getting off duty, Mingtai quickly packed up his things and hurriedly went to find the army for help.

Lu Jun is the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, so he should be able to help him get Song Miqiu out of prison.

If all else fails, at least let Song Miqiu have a more comfortable time in prison.

Lin Yecheng always felt that something was wrong with Ming Taicheng. Even though the other party promised not to meddle, Lin Yecheng still felt that Ming Taicheng would go to rescue Song Miqiu.

This idea kept swirling in Lin Yecheng's mind. He would occasionally glance at Ming Taicheng, only to find that the other party had no interest in dealing with what he was doing. This further confirmed Lin Yecheng's suspicions.

He coldly watched Ming Taicheng's retreating figure. With next week approaching, he summoned his trusted aide and coldly ordered, "Go and follow Ming Taicheng, and see what he's up to!"

"Yes!"

The confidant followed Ming Taicheng at breakneck speed to a certain place. He hid in the shadows and watched Ming Taicheng find the army, whispering something to the other party.

The confidant turned his head toward Ming Taicheng and overheard a few words. He then clearly heard Ming Taicheng and Lu Jun mention Song Miqiu.

Upon hearing this, the confidant felt there was no need to listen any further and turned to leave.

He found Lin Yecheng and told him everything he had seen and heard, then asked in confusion, "Sir, what should we do now?"

"How do we do it?" Lin Yecheng sneered when he learned that Ming Taicheng wanted to overturn Song Miqiu's case. He had finally found an opportunity to send Song Miqiu to prison, so how could he let Ming Taicheng easily get him out of prison?

Even if he couldn't execute Song Miqiu, Lin Yecheng wanted to keep Song Miqiu in prison for as long as possible, to make him suffer in prison and preferably get sick, so that he would feel better!

"Doesn't he like to exonerate Song Miqiu? Then let's go and warn him." Lin Yecheng thought of something, a smile playing on his lips. "Isn't Ming Taicheng wealthy and have many possessions? Then let's give him a surprise and teach him a lesson!"

After saying that, Lin Yecheng turned his gaze to his confidant and asked, "I think you must know what I mean, right?"

"Your subordinate understands."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yecheng nodded lightly and waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave.

Ming Taicheng returned home feeling frustrated. According to Lu Jun, he still needed to find enough evidence to rescue Song Miqiu from her predicament.

But how could he possibly find such evidence so easily? After much thought, Ming Taicheng could only ask the army to make Song Miqiu a little more comfortable in prison.

All the other party could say was that they had done their best.

Upon hearing this, Mingtai Cheng remained silent for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

He knew that Lu Yu was only a deputy commander, and there were some things that were difficult for him to manage.

Ming Taicheng sat on the wooden stool and suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned his head sharply to look at his bookshelf. He had placed all his treasured books in prominent positions so that he could see them.

But now, all the things that should have been displayed as treasured antiques have disappeared, leaving only a thin layer of dust to indicate that there were some things here before.

Upon seeing this, Ming Taicheng immediately realized that it was Lin Yecheng who had done it. The other party was already very unhappy with him, so it was quite normal for him to do such a thing.

With a gloomy face, he strode to the place where he kept his precious medicinal herbs. Ming Taicheng opened one of the boxes, only to find that the herbs inside were nowhere to be found!

Ming Taicheng looked elsewhere and found that all the precious medicinal herbs placed elsewhere were gone. This angered Ming Taicheng. These herbs were ones he had just collected recently, and each one was extremely precious. He never expected that Lin Yecheng would take them away directly!

Thinking of this, Mingtai gritted his teeth in anger, clenched his fist, and slammed it against the wall.

Perhaps fueled by anger, Ming Taicheng exerted tremendous force, smashing a small hole in the wall, while his hand bones turned red.

"Lin Yecheng!"

Ming Taicheng gritted his teeth and shouted that one day he would personally settle accounts with Lin Yecheng!

Upon receiving news of Song Miqiu's accident, Tian Yumei and Qiu Tianlei stayed at home with great concern. Because of their worry for Song Miqiu, they didn't even continue selling at their stall and pushed it back home early.

Those who originally went to find Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei to buy breakfast, knowing the location of their homes and thinking that it was relatively close to their own homes, chased after them directly.

The man stood at the door, looking in the direction of Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei, and said loudly with a laugh, "Why are you two packing up so early today! You disappeared in the time it took me to finish my work!"

Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei, a married couple, were at a loss for words, their minds preoccupied with thoughts of Song Miqiu.

Seeing that the person was getting impatient, Tian Yumei, despite being in a bad mood, still entertained them. She forced a smile, strode over to them, and asked with a puzzled look, "What do you want?"

Seeing the smile on the other person's face that looked more like a grimace, the man instantly realized that something must have happened at their home. His previous playful expression vanished, and he quickly told the other person what he wanted before picking up his things and leaving the place.

Back where she started, Tian Yumei saw Qiu Tianlei sitting on the ground in frustration, and she stomped her foot in annoyance as well.

They never imagined that even if they worked hard and earned money, they still wouldn't be able to help Song Miqiu when she needed them.

"It's all my fault..." Tian Yumei said remorsefully, "If I had known this would happen, I should have been more assertive back then. If I had stood in front of the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, I wouldn't be a mother."

Qiu Tianlei knew about that time, the time he was arrested. He shook his head at Tian Yumei, feeling extremely guilty.
