I insist

Chapter 422: Assassination

Song Miqiu didn't want to continue talking about this matter and directly changed the subject.

“I saw Liuli in the palace, and she has changed a lot.”

Yu Huailin didn't want to hear Liuli's name at all. He frowned and said, "It has nothing to do with me, and you shouldn't pay any more attention to her."

She didn't want to pay too much attention to Liuli, but she couldn't stop Liuli from deliberately causing trouble, and what she said yesterday was enough to make her uneasy.

Upon seeing that Song Miqiu had stopped speaking, Yu Huailin immediately realized something.

Did she contact you? What did she say to you?

Yu Huailin looked at her anxiously.

Song Miqiu eventually told Yu Huailin about how Liuli had made things difficult for her, including what Liuli had said.

After hearing this, Yu Huailin's expression immediately turned quite grim.

"It seems we haven't taught her a lesson enough. Instead of staying quietly in the palace, she's causing you trouble."

Song Miqiu looked at him with some confusion: "A lesson? What did you do?"

Yu Huailin told Song Miqiu everything he had done without reservation.

Song Miqiu suddenly realized some things.

"So don't worry. You said before that Liuli has changed, and I think she must have thought it through. In the palace, only the Emperor's favor can ensure her longevity."

Now that the wicked concubine is pregnant, she should only be dealing with the wicked concubine and ensuring she doesn't fall out of favor; she won't have time to cause you any trouble.

Yu Huailin comforted Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu nodded: "I know, but I think the old eunuch is not simple. He must have guessed some things. I'm worried that you will be used."

Yu Huailin was still pleased to see Song Miqiu's worries.

"Don't worry, I've also placed people around the old eunuch, so I know his every move."

After hearing his words, Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this kind of life was really tiring.

Upon seeing her expression, Yu Huailin knew exactly what she was thinking, and he took Song Miqiu's hand.

Song Miqiu looked up at him and heard him speak very seriously.

"Once everything has settled down, the two of us will live in seclusion, just the two of us, free from all the troubles of the world."

Song Miqiu was quite tempted by his suggestion of living in seclusion.

After a while, she shook off Yu Huailin's hand and said somewhat awkwardly, "Who wants to live in seclusion with you?"

"Of course it's you. Who else could it be?"

Yu Huailin brought his lips close to Song Miqiu's ear and whispered.

Song Miqiu couldn't help but smile, and the surroundings were very warm.

The few days that had passed peacefully brought Song Miqiu a sigh of relief.

But before he could fully breathe a sigh of relief, someone from Cining Palace came and said that the Empress Dowager had been assassinated and that Song Miqiu was to enter the palace to treat her.

Song Miqiu was slightly surprised, but she still entered the palace as quickly as possible and ran into Ming Taicheng.

In addition to Song Miqiu, the people of Cining Palace also asked Ming Taicheng to help the Empress Dowager.

"You're here too? Do you know what's going on?"

Upon seeing Ming Taicheng, Song Miqiu immediately began to inquire.

Ming Taicheng wasn't particularly clear about this matter either, so he shook his head.

The two rushed to rescue the person, but along the way they heard a lot about what had happened.

It turns out that the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood after losing her child, and she would beat and scold the palace servants. She even killed someone. This time, she was assassinated by a eunuch who had been oppressed for a long time, and she was stabbed in the abdomen.

After hearing the whole story, Song Miqiu looked at the Empress Dowager lying on the bed, her face pale and her abdomen stabbed, and felt that she deserved it.

Seeing her like this, Ming Taicheng couldn't help but remind her, "We should get her treated quickly, or we'll both die here."

Song Miqiu did nothing wrong; she simply helped Ming Taicheng.

Ming Taicheng treated the Empress Dowager, but Song Miqiu took advantage of the situation to cause trouble, ensuring that the Empress Dowager would live but be permanently disabled.

After doing all this, Song Miqiu turned her attention to Ming Taicheng.

She knew that Ming Taicheng must have figured out what she had done.

When Ming Taicheng saw Song Miqiu looking at him, he knew what she meant. He didn't say anything and continued to do what he was supposed to do.

The two of them were treating the Empress Dowager here, while Granny Hong ran off to find the Emperor.

Granny Hong originally wanted to rush over, but unexpectedly she was stopped at the door.

"How dare you! I'm here to see the Emperor, how dare you stop me?"

The guards at the door said expressionlessly, "His Majesty is resting. No one is allowed to disturb him."

Upon hearing this, Granny Hong angrily said, "Something has happened to the Empress Dowager. I am the one who reports to the Emperor. If anything happens to the Empress Dowager, do you think your heads are enough to be chopped off?"

The guards exchanged glances, remaining hesitant.

When Granny Hong saw that they were no longer stopping her, she wanted to rush over.

At this moment, the demon concubine appeared, looking at Granny Hong with a smile on her face.

When Granny Hong saw the evil concubine, she dared not force her way in, and could only give a stiff bow: "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Oh, it's Granny Hong. Granny, the Emperor has just fallen asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

The enchantress smiled and spoke softly.

Granny Hong was getting anxious. She said, "Your Majesty, something has happened to the Empress Dowager. I have come specifically to inform the Emperor and ask him to go and take a look."

"If something happens to the Empress Dowager, just go to the imperial physician. The Emperor is too busy with state affairs to trouble him with these matters."

Granny Hong remained relentless.

"But what about the Empress Dowager..."

The concubine immediately suppressed her smile: "Granny Hong, do you mean that the Empress Dowager's health is important, but the Emperor's health is not?"

The Emperor is the ruler of the country and has many things to deal with; not everything requires his attention.

Granny Hong's tone became very firm: "Isn't Your Highness afraid that the Emperor will find out about this?"

"I will naturally report this matter to the Emperor. Please leave, Granny Hong. Guards, do not let anyone disturb the Emperor's rest."

After the demon concubine finished speaking, she looked at Granny Hong with a half-smile, then turned and went into the palace.

The guards at the entrance immediately pulled Granny Hong back, preventing her from getting close to the palace.

Granny Hong was so anxious that she could only jump up and down on the spot.

The emperor naturally heard the noise outside, but he didn't quite catch what it was about.

He closed his eyes and asked, "My beloved concubine, has something happened?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, it's just a small matter. I've already taken care of it. Your Majesty, please get some rest."

The concubine lay directly in the emperor's arms and spoke softly.

"Very well, I am quite at ease with my beloved consort handling this."

After hearing the concubine's words, the emperor felt relieved and closed his eyes to continue resting.

He didn't notice the enigmatic smile playing on the concubine's lips.

She naturally knew about what happened to the Empress Dowager today; she did it on purpose, because the Empress Dowager had deliberately made things difficult for her back then.

She also gave something back to the Empress Dowager.
