I insist

Chapter 417: Poisoning

"It's good that Your Majesty is alright. Then this humble subject will take his leave."

Upon hearing Liuli's words, Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took his leave.

But Liuli had no intention of letting her off so easily. With a fake smile on her face, she said, "It's really too much trouble for Physician Song to make this trip. Someone, bring me a cup of tea."

Liuli gets angry whenever she sees Song Miqiu, feeling that if it weren't for harming her, she wouldn't have been bullied by the emperor.

The palace maid brought the tea that had been prepared in advance to Song Miqiu, waiting for her to drink it.

Song Miqiu knew that Liuli seemed to really want him to die, so there was no way she would kindly offer him tea.

She glanced at the tea in the maid's hand, and sure enough, it had been laced with medicine.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I am not thirsty, so I may have to decline your offer. I will take my leave now."

Song Miqiu lowered her head slightly and spoke each word carefully.

Liuli was surprised that even with her current status, the other woman still dared to reject her like this. She frowned, quite dissatisfied.

The palace maid was quite perceptive, and said in a very serious tone, "Imperial Physician Song, this was bestowed upon you by Her Majesty. How dare you refuse to drink it? Do you not respect Her Majesty?"

Song Miqiu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am indeed not thirsty, so I may have to disappoint Your Majesty's kindness."

After being rejected time and time again, Liuli had little patience for Song Miqiu to begin with. She snorted coldly, "Someone, force this cup of tea down your throat."

Upon hearing this, the palace maid walked directly in front of Song Miqiu and tried to grab her chin.

Song Miqiu knew perfectly well that there was medicine in the tea, so she naturally couldn't drink it and tried to struggle to leave.

"Imperial Physician Song, this was bestowed upon you by Her Majesty. You must not fail to appreciate Her Majesty's kindness, understand?" the palace maid said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu's idea of ​​escaping was immediately nipped in the bud. She could only let the palace maid pinch her chin and force-feed her the medicine-laced tea.

After finally finishing the drink, Song Miqiu touched her chest and coughed twice.

When Liuli saw that Song Miqiu had drunk the tea, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she felt much better.

She sneered that if she couldn't kill Song Miqiu, she would let her be humiliated by the emperor as well. Finally, the emperor arrived, but before Liuli could even be happy, she discovered that the demon concubine was also there.

Although Liuli was surprised, she quickly regained her composure and walked up to the Emperor with a smile: "Greetings, Your Majesty, and greetings, elder sister."

The demon queen nodded slightly, and was slightly surprised to see Song Miqiu there as well.

"I heard that my sister invited the Emperor here, and on a whim, I wanted to come and see what my sister has prepared for the Emperor. I hope my sister won't look down on me for coming uninvited."

The demon queen shifted her gaze to Liuli and said softly.

Liuli was naturally bothered, but she dared not say so in front of the Emperor. She could only smile slightly and say, "Sister is joking. I am very happy to have you here."

"That's good."

The enchanting concubine turned her gaze to Song Miqiu again, feigning surprise: "What brings Imperial Physician Song here? Is my sister feeling unwell?"

Liuli had already made all the plans, but she didn't expect that the Demon Consort would also come along, and her plans were going to fall through.

Although Liuli was very unwilling to let Song Miqiu go so easily, she had no choice.

"I wasn't feeling well just now, so I asked Physician Song to come. I must say, Physician Song is really amazing. After examining me, I felt much better immediately."

Liuli smiled and said softly.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor asked softly in a gentle voice, "My beloved concubine, how are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

"There aren't any left, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty," Liuli said with a smile.

The concubine, seeing the Emperor and Liuli so affectionate, didn't react at all; instead, she just smiled faintly.

"Now that my sister is alright, Physician Song, you should leave immediately. The Imperial Hospital has many matters to attend to," the Demon Consort said.

Song Miqiu quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."

After saying that, Song Miqiu walked outside as fast as he could.

She was very grateful to the demon concubine, who had saved her several times, especially this time, which was particularly timely. She was deeply grateful to the demon concubine.

After leaving, Song Miqiu hurried to a secluded palace and used the system to exchange for the antidote.

Looking at the antidote in her hand, Song Miqiu swallowed it directly, leaned against the pillar, closed her eyes, and tried to calm down.

The Seventh Prince rushed over upon hearing the news and found her leaning against a pillar. He had initially thought she would be controlled by the drug.

"Are you alright?" the Seventh Prince asked, frowning.

Song Miqiu opened her eyes, saw the Seventh Prince, and chuckled, saying, "You've arrived just in time."

Hearing her words, the Seventh Prince breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems you're alright. I was worried you'd be under the influence of the drug. I'm relieved now."

“If I were really under the influence of the drug, it would be too late for you to come now. I didn’t know you cared about me so much.”

Song Miqiu looked at the Seventh Prince and asked with great confusion.

The Seventh Prince looked at Song Miqiu, his eyes flashing for a moment before he said, "Don't you really know why I care about you so much?"

Now that things have come to this point, Song Miqiu can no longer pretend to be stupid.

"Seventh Prince, we are simply not a good match, so you shouldn't waste your time on me. It's better for both of us."

Song Miqiu looked at the Seventh Prince very seriously and spoke word by word.

The Seventh Prince was surprised by Song Miqiu's resolute attitude. He chuckled and said, "You really are heartless."

Song Miqiu smiled slightly: "If I don't say it this way, an ambiguous answer will make you feel that you have a chance, which would be harming you."

The Seventh Prince looked at Song Miqiu seriously and smiled slightly: "On the contrary, I want you to deceive me."

"Seventh Prince, we are deeply in love and perfectly matched. I await your marriage proposal. We will surely grow old together."

With a fake smile, Song Miqiu spoke softly.

Hearing this, the Seventh Prince felt something was amiss and said with a smile, "You should just refuse me. Saying it like this makes me feel even more uncomfortable."

Song Miqiu withdrew her smile and said, word by word, "Seventh Prince, you are a prince. You can have any kind of woman you want in the future. You don't need to waste your time here with me."

“But you only have one,” the Seventh Prince said.

Song Miqiu realized that he was deliberately picking a fight. She shook her head at the Seventh Prince and turned to leave.

The Seventh Prince has never denied that he likes Song Miqiu. Looking at her just leaving, he felt it was a pity, but he also felt that there was no need to force it.

What I just said was just to tease Song Miqiu and see how she would react.

What intrigued him even more was how she obtained the antidote, since she had drunk the entire cup of tea.
