I insist

Chapter 194: Crisis Approaching

When she arrived at the Imperial Hospital, she sensed that the atmosphere there was rather somber.

Many people kept their heads down, busy with their own tasks, and there was none of the usual joking and greeting.

The usually lively people in the Imperial Hospital were now standing quietly to the side, drying the herbs.

This is all so abnormal.

Song Miqiu walked in, puzzled. She grabbed a royal physician at random and asked, "What's wrong? Why does the atmosphere in the Imperial Hospital feel a bit strange?"

"You've finally arrived!"

The imperial physician looked at Song Miqiu with a grim expression. He grabbed Song Miqiu's arm and said in a very serious tone, "Don't you know? Something terrible has happened!"

"Consort Lin suffered a miscarriage yesterday, and the baby is gone! She was in a bad mood all day. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital knows that you are in charge of Consort Lin, but you were not there yesterday, so none of us dared to go."

The imperial physician looked at the other person with difficulty and spoke his mind, "In the end, one of us gritted his teeth and went over, only to endure Consort Lin's bad temper for quite a while, and even more..."

The man did not reveal the final fate of the imperial physician.

Song Miqiu's pupils contracted sharply, as if she hadn't reacted yet. She quickly grabbed the other person's arm and asked, "What did you just say? Who miscarried?"

The imperial physician knew that Song Miqiu couldn't believe that Consort Lin had miscarried, so he quietly repeated what he had just said. He saw that Song Miqiu seemed to be rushing to find Consort Lin, wanting to tell her about the fate of the imperial physician who had treated Consort Lin yesterday, but in the end, he didn't dare to say it.

Song Miqiu was so frightened that her limbs trembled. She looked around anxiously and muttered, "It's over, it's over, we're really doomed."

She was in charge of Consort Lin, but Consort Lin had a miscarriage yesterday and she wasn't there. Wasn't she in big trouble?

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu dared not delay for a moment. She quickly turned around and went into the house, took out her own medicine box, and hurriedly walked out of the room, pretending to go to Consort Lin's palace to check on the situation.

She got up and was about to leave when she saw Lin Yecheng appear at the door. Song Miqiu frowned, straightened up, and looked at Lin Yecheng's face. She said coldly, "Get out of my way. I'm busy right now and don't have time to mess around with you."

Just as Song Miqiu was about to force her way out, she heard Lin Yecheng say, "You're here because of Consort Lin's miscarriage, aren't you?"

Lin Yecheng looked at Song Miqiu's panicked expression as she tried to leave to find Consort Lin with a mocking expression. He said sarcastically, "You're panicking now, but where were you yesterday?"

"Didn't you take leave to enjoy yourself? What are you doing back at the Imperial Hospital now?"

Song Miqiu was already in a bad mood, and now Lin Yecheng's words had stirred it up. She frowned and looked at him, coldly asking, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Why are you so inexplicably agitated? Isn't all of this because of you?

Song Miqiu was even angrier at Lin Yecheng's words. Instead of being angry, she laughed and said, "Because of me? I've been feeling unwell and staying at home these past few days. What have I done?"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Yecheng knew that Song Miqiu was unaware of that matter. He took a step toward Song Miqiu with a cold look, and the other party subconsciously stepped back.

"People like you deserve to go to hell! And take your whole family to hell with you!" Lin Yecheng's eyes were filled with rage as he glared at the man before him and said coldly, "I wish you a terrible end!"

"Lin Yecheng!"

Song Miqiu finally couldn't take it anymore.

She raised her eyes and stared straight at the other person, coldly rebuking, "I wanted to find Consort Lin to check on her health, but you kept stopping me. Aren't you just delaying Consort Lin's examination time?"

"And another thing, you keep saying they'll go to hell and have no good end, Lin Yecheng. Don't you have any idea what disgusting things you've done before? How dare you talk about other people like that?"

The other party clearly did not expect Song Miqiu to refute him like this. He said angrily, "The imperial physician who treated Consort Lin on your behalf yesterday has been sentenced to death, and his entire family has been implicated!"

Song Miqiu's initial anger vanished instantly. She paused for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Lin Yecheng with her free hand, perhaps in disbelief, "What did you just say?"

She never imagined that because of her, an innocent imperial physician would be executed by Consort Lin, and that his entire family would be implicated.

Seeing Song Miqiu's stunned expression, Lin Yecheng knew she hadn't reacted yet. He curled his lips in a sneer, "You're still pretending to be stupid? Someone's been made a scapegoat for you, otherwise Consort Lin would have sent people to your residence to arrest you long ago!"

He stood in front of Song Miqiu, arms crossed, looking at Song Miqiu's dazed appearance, and Lin Yecheng mocked, "Otherwise, you can beg me, and I can speak for you."

Lin Yecheng naturally remembered that Song Miqiu had helped him at the Yan family's place before.

He didn't like owing favors to people, especially since this person was Song Miqiu's.

After regaining her composure, Song Miqiu became even more determined to find Consort Lin.

Upon hearing Lin Yecheng's words, she sneered and refused, "No need, you should mind your own business."

"What do I have to do with this? Now that I'm back at the Imperial Hospital, I'll still be the head of the Imperial Hospital, not that Ming Taicheng!" Lin Yecheng frowned and glanced at Song Miqiu, then continued, "Besides, Consort Lin and I are family. If you can guarantee that you will respect me as much as everyone else when we face each other in the future, then I might consider pleading for you with Consort Lin."

Song Miqiu had no intention of asking Lin Yecheng for help; she'd rather deal with Consort Lin herself than have him help her.

As she thought of something, her eyes were full of mockery. "I wonder who was the one who was severely punished by Consort Lin, and how many times she was punished. I can't quite remember."

Her gaze fell on Lin Yecheng, and she asked with amusement, "Does Dean Lin remember how many lashes he received?"

Lin Yecheng's face instantly turned ugly and gloomy. He warned coldly, "Song Miqiu, don't go too far!"

He pointed his finger at Song Miqiu and said sternly, "I'm trying to help you, don't be stubborn! You'll end up like that person, don't come back and say I didn't help you!"

"Thank you, but no need." Song Miqiu rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.

She picked up the medicine box again and strode away from Lin Yecheng, trying to leave the Imperial Hospital.

The other person was so angry that he stood there for a long time without reacting. This made Song Miqiu speechless. He reached out and pushed the other person away before striding out of the Imperial Hospital.

As soon as Song Miqiu left the Imperial Hospital, the words Lin Yecheng had just spoken flashed through her mind, and she felt a wave of panic and fear wash over her.

She feared that as soon as she arrived at Consort Lin's quarters, she would be pinned down by the guards, given her extremely poor reputation with Consort Lin.
