I insist

Chapter 435: Poisonous

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's words, Liuli was enraged and rushed over, intending to slash her face.

Just then, Ming Taicheng arrived with the Imperial Guards and witnessed Liuli attempting to harm Song Miqiu.

"Someone, take her under control."

Upon hearing Ming Taicheng's words, the Imperial Guards immediately subdued Liuli and forced her to kneel on the ground.

Liuli struggled to break free, shouting, "Let me go! I am a Jieyu (a concubine rank)! How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of displeasing the Emperor?"

Ming Taicheng walked up to Liuli and said, "An hour ago, His Majesty fainted. After my investigation, it was found that the elixir that Wang Jianjun presented to His Majesty was poisoned."

Wang Jianjun was recommended by Consort Jieyu. This humble subject believes this matter is related to Consort Jieyu, and requests Consort Jieyu's cooperation in this investigation.

Liuli shouted, "Impossible! You're talking nonsense! I know nothing about this! You're framing me!"

However, Ming Taicheng completely ignored Liuli's words and instead directly told the Imperial Guards, "Take Jieyu back; the Emperor wants to interrogate her personally."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards immediately escorted Liuli outside.

Liuli struggled violently and shouted, "I didn't! Let me go! This has nothing to do with me!"

Before leaving, Ming Taicheng glanced at Song Miqiu, nodded to her, and then left behind the Imperial Guards.

Just as Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief, everything went black before her eyes, and she almost fainted.

Fortunately, a young eunuch caught her quickly, his eyes full of worry.

Song Miqiu looked up at him, and upon seeing him, smiled slightly: "Didn't I already say that your temperament is different from the little eunuch's?"

Why did he disguise himself as a eunuch?

The young eunuch, who was actually Yu Huailin in disguise, frowned upon hearing her words: "You still have the mind to joke? How are you?"

Song Miqiu gave a weak smile.

Yu Huailin ignored everything else and simply picked up Song Miqiu in his arms and carried her outside.

"I'm still a convict. Aren't you afraid that others will find out who you are by taking me away from the prison like this?"

Song Miqiu leaned against Yu Huailin's chest, her voice weak.

Yu Huailin carried her outside, saying as they walked, "It's alright, you're innocent now, everything is resolved."

"You did it?"

Upon hearing Yu Huailin's words, Song Miqiu asked in a low voice.

Yu Huailin shook his head: "You've already arranged everything, so I don't need to lift a finger."

"That's good. You don't need to do such a small thing."

Upon hearing Yu Huailin's words, Song Miqiu felt relieved and fainted in his arms.

This terrified Yu Huailin. He carried Song Miqiu and hurried to the Imperial Hospital, where Ming Taicheng happened to be.

"What happened? Are you injured?"

When Ming Taicheng saw Song Miqiu being carried back by Yu Huailin, he stood up nervously and asked worriedly.

"She's fainted. You need to check her quickly to see if she has any internal injuries."

Yu Huailin placed Song Miqiu on a chair to the side and looked at Ming Taicheng.

Since there were no visible injuries on her body, Yu Huailin suspected that she had suffered internal injuries.

Ming Taicheng was also worried about Song Miqiu, so he quickly checked her over and breathed a sigh of relief after finding no other problems.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. She just fainted from hunger, and there are no internal injuries."

"Starved to death? Don't they provide food in prison?"

Yu Huailin frowned, his face looking extremely grim.

Ming Taicheng went to the side to get the medicine: "When she was imprisoned, both the Empress Dowager and that Liuli wanted her dead. Who knows if they would poison her food?"

She naturally knew this; she was probably afraid of being drugged, so she was being extra careful about what she ate, which is why she fainted from hunger.

After hearing his words, Yu Huailin felt even more sorry for Song Miqiu.

After a moment of silence, he continued to ask questions.

"How was this matter resolved?"

Yu Huailin was worried about whether he could solve the problem of Liuli this time.

Ming Taicheng glanced at Yu Huailin: "I don't know either. The Emperor said he would handle it himself, so he kicked everyone else out."

After hearing Ming Taicheng's words, Yu Huailin stopped asking questions and instead looked at Song Miqiu, who was lying on the chair. He was worried about her now.

It was a long time before Song Miqiu woke up, and the first person he saw was Yu Huailin.

Upon seeing herself in the Imperial Hospital, she immediately became much more alert and spoke to him.

"Why are you still here? Aren't you worried about being discovered? You're incredibly bold."

"You should be worried about yourself, not me. Aren't you hungry? How can you still have the energy to care about my affairs?"

Yu Huailin placed the meal that Ming Taicheng had asked the imperial kitchen to prepare in front of Song Miqiu and asked softly.

Song Miqiu's eyes lit up when she saw the food in front of her, and she looked at Yu Huailin.

"These were all prepared by the imperial chefs at the request of Physician Ming. You shouldn't eat oily or greasy food right now, so you can only eat some porridge. Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Yu Huailin was afraid she would worry that there was medicine in the mixture, so he spoke up to remind her.

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu nodded slightly and was about to reach for the bowl when Yu Huailin was faster than her.

What are you doing?

"I'll feed you; you don't need to lift a finger."

As he spoke, Yu Huailin scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it gently, and placed it near Song Miqiu's lips.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Miqiu opened her mouth and ate it.

After eating half of the meal, she remembered Liuli and asked, "How is Liuli?"

"It's not going to end well anyway, she's not someone you should worry about, keep eating."

Yu Huailin didn't want to mention Liuli at all.

Meanwhile, in the Emperor's bedchamber, Liuli knelt on the ground, her face streaked with tears, looking at the Emperor with a wronged expression.

"Are you upset?"

The Emperor looked at Liuli coldly, showing none of the tenderness he had shown before.

Liuli cried and said, "Your Majesty, of course I am wronged. You don't know that just now in the prison, that Song Miqiu dared to disrespect me."

Furthermore, Ming Taicheng and those Imperial Guards completely disregarded me, even pinning me to the ground. Your Majesty, you must avenge me!

The Emperor remained completely unmoved by Liuli's cries and simply watched him.

"You should know why I had you brought here; don't try to change the subject."

Liuli looked up at the Emperor, pretending not to know anything, and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, I don't understand, I know nothing."

The Emperor glanced at her indifferently, completely disregarding whether she genuinely didn't understand or was pretending not to.

"You recommended Wang Jianjun to me, and you even described him in glowing terms, as if he were the best in the world. Do you really not know what he has done?"

Don't try to deceive me; I want to hear the truth.
