I insist

Chapter 479: Take Away

Yu Huailin left the prison with a gloomy face. He felt that he had been too good-natured, which had allowed those people to target Song Miqiu. This time, he was determined not to let them run rampant.

Liuli was the first to receive the news that Song Miqiu had been imprisoned, and she was overjoyed about it.

"She's just a troublemaker. She only has herself to blame for this outcome," Liuli said softly, sitting in her chair.

The little eunuch below heard Liuli's words but didn't answer at all. He kept his head down and didn't move at all.

Liuli didn't expect him to answer, but instead said slowly and deliberately, "Her imprisonment this time is a good opportunity for us."

You need to find a way to get rid of her. I feel uneasy whenever I hear news that she's alive. This time, make sure it's done cleanly and efficiently.

Xiao Tai heard Liu Li's words and only then reacted, replying, "Yes."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Liuli seemed to have already seen Song Miqiu's death, and she was very happy and relaxed. When she closed her eyes, there was a smile on her lips.

The young eunuch arrived at the prison quickly, where Song Miqiu was trying to rest her eyes.

Song Miqiu could clearly sense the murderous intent. She slowly opened her eyes, looked at the approaching eunuch, and said with a smile, "I knew she wouldn't let this opportunity pass."

Without even changing his expression, the little eunuch thrust his sword at Song Miqiu.

As for Liuli's arrangements, Du Chun'an's spies in the palace received the news immediately.

He knew something about the relationship between Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin, and he was also aware that she had been imprisoned.

He also knew that Yu Huailin was probably dealing with other matters at the moment and might not have time to attend to the prison issue. He hesitated whether or not to save Song Miqiu.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Chun'an still decided to rescue Song Miqiu, and he immediately went to the prison.

Du Chun'an originally thought he would see Song Miqiu get hurt, but to his surprise, not only was she unharmed, she also subdued the little eunuch.

Hearing the voice, Song Miqiu looked up and saw it was him. She smiled and said, "The prison is really lively today. So many people have come."

“It seems I’m completely unnecessary to come here; you don’t need my help at all,” Du Chun’an said, looking at the restrained eunuch.

Song Miqiu smiled and said, "Who said we don't need it? This person is yours now. You must interrogate him carefully to find out who sent him."

Don't you have anyone in mind you suspect?

Du Chun'an didn't believe that Song Miqiu was such a smart person. Even someone with a toe could figure it out.

Song Miqiu leaned against the wall and said softly, "Anyway, it's just those few people. It can't be anyone else. I just don't want to interrogate him."

Du Chun'an never expected that he would become a free laborer here.

However, since they were already there, they couldn't just sit idly by, so they resigned themselves to their fate and picked up the little eunuch.

“Alright, since you already have someone in mind, I don’t need to tell you who it is. I’ll handle it myself after I’ve finished the interrogation,” Du Chun’an said.

Song Miqiu turned to look at him: "Alright, do as you please."

Du Chun'an nodded slightly to her and then left with his men.

The prefect of Yintian Prefecture pretended to be stupid and did not show up, allowing Du Chun'an to take people away for interrogation.

Du Chun'an brought the young eunuch to his residence and ordered his servants to torture him as much as possible to see how long he could endure it.

After a while, he gestured for the servant to stop what he was doing and looked at him coldly: "Tell me, who exactly ordered you to kill Song Miqiu?"

The young eunuch glanced up at Du Chun'an, then lowered his head, as if to say, "I won't say anything."

"It seems the punishment I gave you just now was too lenient. You're so stubborn. Keep hitting him until he's willing to talk."

Du Chun'an looked at the young eunuch and spoke, word by word.

The little eunuch let Du Chun'an beat him, still not uttering a sound. He felt he was about to die, but he kept his teeth tightly clenched.

“You don’t think that Song Miqiu and I wouldn’t know who you are if you didn’t tell us, do you? You’re underestimating us.”

After Du Chun'an told the people to stop, he spoke slowly and deliberately.

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch looked up at him, his eyes filled with disbelief. He simply did not believe that Du Chun'an and Song Miqiu knew who had sent him.

"You should have heard what Song Miqiu just said. It was just a few people who wanted to assassinate her, and you are someone from the palace."

It's obvious at a glance that it was someone sent by Liuli. I just didn't expect her to have such loyal people by her side; it's truly astonishing.

Du Chun'an admired this person quite a bit, after all, he had never revealed who sent him, and they guessed it themselves.

The little eunuch was surprised that they actually knew it was Liuli who sent them. He lowered his head, his face full of frustration.

Du Chun'an closed his eyes and said calmly, "You've done what you needed to do. It's time to get going."

After saying that, Du Chun'an killed the man. There was also anger in his voice, since he had never experienced being unable to get a response before.

This made him feel somewhat frustrated, but fortunately it was only a little and quickly disappeared.

Yu Huailin was indeed too busy to attend to Song Miqiu's affairs. He was searching for the person behind the old man, and eventually his investigation led him to Gao Min'er.

“Gao Min’er? Who is she?” Yu Huailin didn’t think Song Miqiu would know someone named Gao Min’er.

The guard replied softly, "She is the daughter of a high-ranking official; her status is not low."

"Infiltrate the Gao residence, kidnap the man, and bring him here for questioning myself," Yu Huailin said sharply.

Upon hearing the order, the guards left their posts and rushed to the Gao residence as quickly as possible.

Gao Min'er was just about to get ready to rest when she was carried away in a sack before she could even take off her jewelry.

She was still unaware of what was happening and shouted from inside the sack, "Let me go! Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!"

I'm telling you, if you don't let me go, my father won't let you go either. He'll kill you all and leave you with no trace of your bodies.

"We'll talk about that if he can find us. If you don't shut up, I'll make you experience what it means to die a horrible death."

The guard really didn't want to hear Gao Min'er's loud voice, so he could only speak coldly, of course, not in his own voice.

This really startled Gao Min'er. She quickly shut her mouth, wondering who had tied her up and what they wanted to do with her.

Is he really going to kill her, or is it just for the money?
