I insist

Chapter 413: Disdain

"You're just being unreasonable and shameless; it won't get you anywhere."

"I……"

Yu Huailin was worried that if he said anything more, he would anger Song Miqiu again, so he could only purse his lips and stare straight at the woman under the tree.

Because of the angle, that delicate little face looked even smaller, making it hard to look away for a long time.

"You should leave; you're disturbing my rest."

"Really? I'm sure I didn't make a sound."

But if she says it exists, then it must exist.

Yu Huailin reluctantly withdrew his gaze, but instead of getting up immediately, he rolled to the ground with a sideways movement, stabilizing himself by lightly touching the ground with his feet.

"No delivery."

"wait."

As if suddenly remembering something, Yu Huailin rummaged in his pocket and finally found the gift he had prepared, which he quickly stuffed into the bag.

But instead of reaching out to take it, she stared straight at the other person.

"what?"

"A jade hairpin, if you don't like it, just throw it away."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, but she ultimately reached out and accepted the item offered to her.

Once the large hand left, she finally noticed the overly simple jade hairpin and looked up at Yu Huailin, whose face was full of expectation.

"I know you don't like those fancy decorations, so I went with something simple."

"That's too simple. If I take it out, people will say that I, Physician Song, am too honest to even afford a decent hairpin."

Upon hearing these words, Yu Huailin's previously bright eyes darkened, and he reached out to take the hairpin back into his hand.

But just as his hand was exposed to Song Miqiu, her delicate brows suddenly furrowed, and she grabbed his wrist with her other hand.

"Who could possibly hurt you?"

"It was my own carelessness. Even if I used one hand, no one could hurt me here."

careless?

Looking at the tiny wound, Song Miqiu already guessed what had happened. She lowered her eyes to look at the rough, uneven thing.

Those injuries were probably caused by this thing.

But I have to admit, it's still really ugly.

Song Miqiu released his grip, took out the silver needle he carried with him, and with a little force, drew a few fine lines on it.

Once she got the hang of it, her hands moved swiftly, but when she looked up after finishing, she found that the person had already disappeared.

If it weren't for the footprints on the ground, one would probably think that Song Miqiu was the only one carving hairpins in the courtyard.

She shook her head, then looked at the hairpin in her hand, now adorned with many more details, and walked back to her room with satisfaction.

Unable to fall asleep anytime soon, Song Miqiu simply took out her medical book again and continued to read it.

Only when the moon was directly overhead did he slowly raise his head and look towards the palace in the distance.

She didn't know what the evil concubine would do while Liuli was in the palace, but that wasn't what she cared about most.

"I hope to hear some good news tomorrow."

Song Miqiu yawned wearily, then put down the book in his hand and lay down on the bed.

Without the burning gaze, Song Miqiu quickly fell asleep.

Just as she was sleeping peacefully, Da Ming Tai Cheng, who was on night duty in the palace, was awakened by urgent knocking on the door.

"They're here. Stop knocking, or the door will break."

"Imperial Physician Ming, quick, come with me."

Hearing the other person's urgent words, Ming Taicheng didn't have time to ask any more questions and ran out with his medicine box in his hands.

But he was getting old, and he ran out of energy after only a few steps.

Standing there exhausted and slightly out of breath, he wanted to say something more, but then he saw several people carrying a sedan chair rushing after him.

"Please take a seat, sir."

"Since there's a sedan chair, why make me run this far?"

The eunuch dared not utter a sound, carefully helped Ming Taicheng up, then turned his gaze away and led the two of them quickly toward the inner palace.

But because the movement was too fast, he almost vomited while sitting on it.

Fortunately, just when they were about to lose their temper, they finally stopped and carefully escorted the person into the Cining Palace.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Ming has been summoned."

"Let him in."

The Empress Dowager's voice was very weak, and in the end it was only a breathy sound.

When Ming Taicheng pushed open the door, he smelled a pungent, bloody odor.

When he finally saw what the other person looked like, his expression turned even uglier, and he immediately ordered the clueless crowd around him.

They were busy all night and didn't leave the Cining Palace.

The next day.

When Song Miqiu entered the Imperial Hospital, he saw several people with gloomy faces.

"what happened?"

"Many of the medicinal herbs in the medicine cabinet have been used, but no one has kept a record. It is very likely that they were stolen?"

No sooner had the man finished speaking than a palace maid rushed in.

Seeing her take it without asking, everyone's faces grew increasingly gloomy, and they even tried to grab her, but Song Miqiu discovered her identity first.

"This is a palace maid from the Empress Dowager's side. What medicine are you here for? Who gave you the prescription?"

"How dare you! If you stop me from getting the medicine and it harms the Empress Dowager, how will you explain yourselves?"

Song Miqiu noticed the tremor in the palace maid's voice and knew that things were not so simple. He quickly took out the prescription, prepared the medicine, and handed it to the maid.

Without giving the other party any chance, he picked up the medicine box he had prepared in advance and walked forward.

"Let's go, I'll go with you, that way we can help Doctor Ming too."

"Need not."

After the palace maid finished speaking, she ignored Song Miqiu's actions and rushed out in three steps.

Realizing this, she could only start walking forward as quickly as possible.

Ignoring what was happening behind them, the palace maid rushed into Cining Palace, while Song Miqiu was stopped outside the door.

"Wait, I want to see Physician Ming. Please let me in quickly."

"This is not a place for you to act recklessly. Get out of here right now."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu frowned slightly, staring intently ahead, attempting to see right through the building.

But she didn't have that ability, so she could only stare blankly ahead.

What are you doing here?

"Why is the Seventh Prince here too?"

The Seventh Prince remained silent, but looked at the guards who were strictly guarding Cining Palace, raised his eyebrows slightly, and reached out to pull the man from Jiujiang aside.

However, Song Miqiu still wanted to find out about Ming Taicheng's situation and was reluctant to leave, her gaze lingering on Cining Palace.

Having no other choice, the Seventh Prince whispered something in Song Miqiu's ear, which allowed him to successfully take the person away.

Are you sure you know everything?

"I do know quite a bit, but if you don't want to leave here, there's no way I can tell you, after all..."

Knowing that walls have ears, Song Miqiu could only look away and follow the person forward.

Once the two had settled in a safe place, the curious Tasmanian wolf approached the seemingly all-knowing seventh prince.

He felt the intense gaze directed at him, but it wasn't because of him. He couldn't help but frown, but in the end, he told her everything.
