I insist

Chapter 130: His Dedication

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu frowned, and just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly caught a familiar scent.

It seems to be the medicine she gave to the imperial physicians; this person is injured?

But who did this to her?

Song Miqiu glanced at Consort Lin beside her and saw that the other woman's lips were tightly pursed and her eyes were cold. She already had a guess in her mind.

Not wanting to get involved, she remained silent and sat quietly in her seat, occasionally taking a few bites of food.

"Your Majesty, I have truly been wronged. Please believe me."

"Trust you? Do you really think I don't know what's going on in the palace that's not your responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yue nervously looked around, wanting to explain again, when she heard her master's voice.

"Tie him up, or we won't continue beating him."

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I..."

But the person didn't give her a chance to continue, and struck her with a stick, making a sharp scream.

"What are you talking about? You've frightened Her Majesty. Can you, a lowly servant, bear the consequences?"

After saying that, Wen Yue opened her mouth as if to say something, but was dragged away into the distance.

Seeing that everyone had their heads down and dared not meet his gaze, Song Miqiu cautiously turned his head away, but before he could see clearly, he heard a soft laugh.

“It’s good to teach disobedient children a lesson.”

"You...you're right."

Song Miqiu was afraid that this was a new torture method used by Consort Lin, so she couldn't help but swallow hard, anxiously trying to find a way to prove that she understood.

To her surprise, the other person chuckled again.

"Doctor Song, don't be too nervous. This matter has nothing to do with you. In fact, I should thank you for saving my child. You will be richly rewarded."

"reward?"

Song Miqiu was stunned and didn't know what to do. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a series of things she had never heard before.

What gemstones, jade, and a chest of silver.

Is it really okay to accept it?

Will we be implicated in other things later?

Song Miqiu hesitated, unsure how to explain, and could only stand quietly by and accept it all.

"Don't worry, I'm giving you these things only so that this child can grow up healthy, and it would be best if it were just one..."

Is it a boy?

Song Miqiu had no way to guarantee anything, and her heart was pounding, but she still secretly asked the system if there was a way to find out the child's gender in advance.

Unfortunately, the baby is not yet gestational age, so a scan cannot be performed at this time.

Song Miqiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, then staggered out of the palace with the rewards in her hands.

But her disheveled appearance was rarely seen in the palace, and many people turned to look at her.

Sensing the gazes of those around her, Song Miqiu paid no heed and continued dragging her legs toward the outside.

"Why is Physician Song in such a disheveled state? Do I need to arrange a carriage for you?"

"Your Highness? Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you? I can do it myself..."

Although she had filled her empty stomach, Song Miqiu was still somewhat weak, and her body began to sway after taking only a few steps.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Crown Prince ultimately ordered his guards to escort the person out of the palace, even taking them directly to that residence.

Song Miqiu remained silent on the way, only glancing at the other person out of the corner of her eye, trying to find some changes in that person.

After all, the Crown Prince, who never gets up early for nothing, suddenly had someone take such good care of her; there must have been some change or influence. Her brows furrowed in worry.

After much deliberation, all I could think of was that favored concubine, Consort Lin.

"Guard Tao, does the Crown Prince have anything to say to me?"

"The Crown Prince knows you've been through a lot in prison, so this is to let you get some rest."

Is that all?

Song Miqiu frowned, but a smile appeared on his face the next moment. He struggled to get up and patted the other person on the shoulder.

"In that case, I will take good care of myself."

Without waiting for Guard Tao to speak, Song Miqiu got off the carriage and quickly walked back to her bedroom with the gifts.

But before she could rest, the door was pushed open.

Knowing who the only person who could enter was, Song Miqiu didn't open her eyes, but simply turned over wearily.

"what happened?"

"Don't you find this trip suspicious?"

Of course I think it's strange, and I even think it's more suspicious that I was wronged.

However, Song Miqiu had also thought a lot during these three days. Instead of speaking directly to Yu Huailin, she sat up and showed an even more somber expression.

Do you think it's okay to leave them there any longer?

"If you want to protect yourself, you'd better bring the person into the capital."

After all, if it's in your immediate vicinity, you can still save them no matter how much they threaten you, but if they're far away, you'll be restricted in every way.

Once Song Miqiu understood this, he immediately looked away and turned his gaze directly to Yu Huailin.

"Since you couldn't rescue me, why don't you bring the person over here?"

"it is good."

Hearing this, she readily agreed, but then felt something was amiss, and her gaze swept over the slightly dark circles under the eyes of the person next to her, filled with doubt.

"Is this really none of your business?"

What do you think should be done?

Hearing this question, Song Miqiu became even more certain of her guess, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she reached out to grab the other person's hand.

Yu Huailin abruptly withdrew his hand, looking warily at her sudden movement. His brows furrowed slightly, and he wanted to speak to make her behave.

But just as he was about to speak, a porcelain bottle was thrown at him.

What's in here?

"Although I don't know how you got the Crown Prince to help you, or even change his attitude, you have already fulfilled your promise, so naturally I should give you something."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin opened it directly, only to find that it was not what he had seen before. He looked at Song Miqiu in confusion.

But the other person was so exhausted that they hugged the quilt tightly with both hands and fell asleep with their eyes closed.

Yu Huailin knew that the other party was being tortured in prison, so he didn't say anything and quietly left the room to ask again tomorrow.

the next day.

Once he was certain that Song Miqiu was awake, he pushed open the door and looked at the bed where someone was still lying.

"Still not awake?"

"I'm awake, but I'm so tired I don't want to move."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Yu Huailin frowned, but still placed the porcelain bottle he had been carrying in his arms in front of the other person.

Before Song Miqiu could process what was happening, he opened the bottle cap and thought for a long time before remembering that it was something given to him yesterday. He then poured a drop directly onto his skin.

Gently rubbing it in, the already not-so-fair skin became even darker.

"This can change your skin tone and is waterproof but not oil-proof. The only way to clean it is to wipe it with vegetable oil. Consider it compensation for you. You will still get the mask."

Thank you.

Seeing that such a small drop could cover his entire hand, Yu Huailin knew it was a good product and put it in his pocket.
