I insist

Chapter 322: Consort Li Invites You

If they weren't in the palace, Song Miqiu would really want to burst out laughing right now.

This Consort Li once wanted to kill me, but now I realize I hated the wrong person. Because of her arrogance and domineering attitude, I lost my child. Let's see how she dares to be so cocky now.

"You're finally free now."

"The one who cleans himself cleans himself."

Song Miqiu felt that he had not done anything so heinous and that the truth would come out sooner or later.

Ming Taicheng admired Song Miqiu's unhurried attitude; if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

"You came here just to tell me this? Is there anything else?" Song Miqiu yawned, thinking there was nothing else, and decided to go home and sleep.

"If this isn't a big deal, then what is?"

In front of Ming Taicheng, Song Miqiu yawned widely and said, "The sky is the greatest, the earth is the greatest, and sleeping is the third greatest."

Ming Taicheng is really about to vomit blood.

"Song Miqiu, do you have any conscience? I've been running around for you, and all you do is sleep." Ming Taicheng looked angry.

Song Miqiu patted Ming Taicheng on the shoulder and gave him a bright smile.

“Ming Taicheng, I knew you were the best person. If we talk about our relationship, our feelings will fade.” Song Miqiu said in a mature tone.

Ming Taicheng was cornered by Song Miqiu and couldn't say a word.

"I'm going back now. If anything happens, remember to let me know." Song Miqiu waved her hand, thinking of Ming Taicheng.

Song Miqiu had just arrived home when Yu Huailin was already waiting at the door.

"Is everything alright in the palace?"

"It's fine, nothing's wrong."

After resting at home for a few days, Song Miqiu went to the Imperial Hospital to take up her post. She had only been busy for a short while when a palace maid came to deliver a message.

"Imperial Physician Song, Consort Li requests your presence."

What's wrong with Consort Li? Has she recovered? Is she trying to cause him trouble again?

"Go and report to Consort Li that I still have many matters to attend to."

The palace maid knew Consort Li's temper; if she didn't bring Song Miqiu along, she would definitely be in deep trouble.

Seeing that the palace maid had no intention of leaving, Song Miqiu directly quoted the Emperor's words and said, "The Emperor said that I cannot treat the concubines in the harem. This is the Emperor's order, and I cannot disobey it, unless Consort Li wants to disobey."

The only option was to threaten the palace maid with the Emperor's orders, and the maid could only relay the message to Consort Li.

Consort Li slammed her hand on the table in anger.

"You cunning Song Miqiu, just you wait and see!"

Although I, Song Miqiu, am completely uninvolved in the crime of plotting to murder the prince, Consort Li still dislikes me.

The thought of the concubine who framed her, who had already met a bad end, was unbearable.

The palace maid trembled and dared not speak.

Song Miqiu thought that Consort Li would at least be much more well-behaved after this incident, but she didn't expect her to come looking for trouble again. If she can't afford to offend her, then so be it.

Song Miqiu sighed as he worked with the herbs.

“You also have times when you sigh and complain,” Ming Taicheng said smugly.

"You have no idea how difficult the concubines in the harem are to deal with. Consort Li just summoned me again. I wonder what she's up to this time. The miscarriage has nothing to do with her anymore, so why are you still coming to see her?"

Ming Taicheng couldn't figure out what Consort Li was up to by doing this, before the two of them could even understand it.

"Her Majesty the Empress Dowager requests the presence of Imperial Physician Song," a shrill eunuch's voice announced.

Song Miqiu really wanted to punch someone right now. Consort Li had just left, and the Empress Dowager had come knocking on the door.

Ming Taicheng also felt that Song Miqiu was too pitiful, and he could tell at a glance that the visitor had no good intentions.

Song Miqiu simply repeated what he had just said to Consort Li to the eunuch.

The eunuchs around the Empress Dowager were not as easily fooled as Consort Li's maid.

"Imperial Physician Song, the Emperor only said that you are not allowed to treat the concubines in the harem. The Empress Dowager is not one of the Emperor's concubines, so why is it not allowed?"

Song Miqiu was speechless for a moment; the people around the Empress Dowager were indeed formidable.

Song Miqiu looked at Ming Taicheng, who was quickly thinking of how to refuse.

"How about I go and take the Empress Dowager's pulse?" Ming Taicheng suggested recommending himself to the eunuch.

The eunuch glanced at Ming Taicheng and said, "The Empress Dowager invited Physician Song, not Chief Physician Ming."

The eunuch spoke to Ming Taicheng politely, his words utterly devoid of any impropriety.

He could only helplessly watch Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu was at a loss and could only follow behind the eunuch, wondering what to do.

"Imperial Physician Song, let's hurry up and go, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you!"

With their arrival at the Empress Dowager's palace imminent, Song Miqiu had no choice but to pull out a poison from his robes. He closed his eyes and swallowed the poison.

"Father-in-law, I feel a little dizzy, and..." Song Miqiu was foaming at the mouth, which really frightened the eunuch who had just calmed down, leaving him at a loss.

He hurriedly ran to the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Your Majesty, Physician Song, it seems there's a problem," the eunuch stammered.

The Empress Dowager rushed out and saw Song Miqiu foaming at the mouth and staggering, looking as if he had been poisoned.

"Quickly, someone come here and send Song Miqiu back to me."

When the Empress Dowager saw Song Miqiu in this state, she knew that if he really died here, no amount of explanation could clear his name!

The palace maids and eunuchs were all running around in a panic. Song quickly helped Song Miqiu up, intending to take her to the Imperial Hospital.

Ming Taicheng was still worried about Song Miqiu's condition when he saw Song Miqiu being carried in by a group of people.

An experienced old eunuch said, "Imperial Physician Song, the patient is foaming at the mouth even before reaching Cining Palace. He may have eaten something unclean or been poisoned. Imperial Physician Ming, please take a look!"

The eunuch was clever and indicated that Song Miqiu's current situation had nothing to do with the Cining Palace.

Before Ming Taicheng could even find out what was going on, all the palace maids and eunuchs were afraid of being implicated.

Ming Taicheng walked to Song Miqiu's side, anxiously looked into Song Miqiu's eyes, and then felt his pulse. Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong; he could cure the poison.

Ming Taicheng stuffed the antidote pill into Song Miqiu's mouth. Song Miqiu took a deep breath and sat up abruptly.

"How are you? How come you were poisoned by the Empress Dowager so soon after you arrived?" Ming Taicheng said cautiously, afraid that someone might overhear.

Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was in the Imperial Hospital.

I stood up and drank a glass of water to moisten my throat.

"No, the poisoning by the Empress Dowager was poisoning myself."

Ming Taicheng thought he had misheard.

"What are you talking about? Not the Empress Dowager, but yourself?"

"Yes, that's right. Isn't the Empress Dowager trying to cause trouble for her? I was poisoned in her Cining Palace. She's definitely afraid of taking responsibility, so she'll naturally send me back."

Ming Taicheng admired Song Miqiu, but also worried for him. When she got ruthless, she was even willing to poison herself.
