I insist

Chapter 241: Amulet

Seeing this, Song Miqiu felt a chill run down her spine. Her face turned extremely pale, and she subconsciously leaned towards Ming Taicheng, nudging his arm with her elbow.

As the Imperial Guards and others went to deal with the body, Ming Taicheng didn't feel Song Miqiu's elbow touch his arm earlier. Anyway, the matter was resolved, and Song Miqiu was temporarily safe in the palace.

He had just led his men out when Song Miqiu tugged at his sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Ming Taicheng turned his head to look at Song Miqiu in confusion. The latter looked around cautiously and whispered, "That woman is definitely suspicious. The person who had an affair with the guard yesterday was dressed much better than this person, and there was a big difference in their physiques."

Upon hearing this, Ming Taicheng glared angrily at Song Miqiu and asked with a look of disappointment, "Why are you only saying this now? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Song Miqiu subconsciously muttered to herself, "I didn't quite trust the other Imperial Guards in that room, which is why I chose to tell you. But when I was about to tell you in the room, you pretended not to see me."

Ming Taicheng's words made Song Miqiu feel somewhat aggrieved.

Having been tortured by the Imperial Guards before, Song Miqiu was naturally wary of their presence, lest she be dragged into the vortex and fall into their hands again.

Now, whenever Song Miqiu sees the Imperial Guards, he recalls a scene he witnessed in the prison cell, which nearly disgusted him to death.

Even now, thinking about it makes Song Miqiu feel nauseous.

Ming Taicheng sighed heavily upon hearing what Song Miqiu said. He glared at Song Miqiu with disappointment and then took him back to find the Imperial Guards.

As he turned to search, he scolded Song Miqiu, "You should have said it earlier! If you hadn't said it, how would we have known whether the other party's payment was real or fake? After all, you're the only one among us who has seen it."

"This is also for your safety. You didn't even think carefully about what would happen to your safety if we let them go!"

Song Miqiu lowered her head, listening to Ming Taicheng scold her.

She knew the other person meant well.

Ming Taicheng led Song Miqiu back to the room they had just come from. The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the Imperial Guards. They turned around and saw Ming Taicheng bringing the person over, and subconsciously let out a sound of surprise.

"Why are you back again?"

Ming Taicheng waved his hand helplessly. With a gloomy face, he walked to the position of the Imperial Guard leader and whispered to him what Song Miqiu had just said.

The Imperial Guard leader was listening with a smile, but when he heard Ming Taicheng say that the woman's identity was questionable, his eyes instantly changed.

He gave Song Miqiu a cold look and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

“It’s definitely certain.” Ming Taicheng called Song Miqiu to their side, and the two stood on Song Miqiu’s left and right sides respectively, questioning Song Miqiu together, “Do you know what that person looks like? We only need the relevant facial features.”

Song Miqiu shook his head in frustration. "My view was mostly blocked at the time, so I had no chance to see what the woman looked like. But I can only say that she had a very good figure and her clothes were much better than those of the palace maids."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present all changed.

The attire, even more splendid than that of palace maids, must belong to the empresses of the palace.

Ming Taicheng and the leader of the Imperial Guard exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning. Ming Taicheng led the man away, and on the way, he said in a deep voice, "This matter can only be left unresolved for now."

His gaze fell on Song Miqiu, and he whispered, "You are in a dangerous situation now. Since the other party is not a palace maid, they will definitely find a way to get rid of you."

After all, the other side must know Song Miqiu. Now that the person is in the dark, while they are in the open, they have no chance to oppose the other side.

This plunged them all into anxiety.

Song Miqiu pinched her brow bone, feeling a headache coming on. She sighed heavily and complained helplessly, "Why am I so unlucky?"

Why did they have an affair while I was delivering medicine? Why didn't they wait until nighttime, when it would be dark and no one would be able to tell?

“Indeed.” Ming Taicheng couldn’t help but laugh when he thought about everything that had happened to Song Miqiu recently.

Song Miqiu has indeed had the worst luck these past few days, encountering so many problems. If it weren't for Song Miqiu's intelligence in informing me first and asking me to handle the matter, the person behind it would certainly not have let the other party off the hook.

"Just be careful for now, don't let women retaliate against you. Try to stay in the Imperial Hospital as much as possible lately, unless a powerful concubine comes to summon you, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu remained silent for a moment before asking, "What if the other party takes advantage of summoning me over to help with a medical examination to kill me and silence me?"

Song Miqiu's words immediately silenced Ming Taicheng; the other party clearly hadn't considered this issue either.

After holding it in for a long time, Ming Taicheng finally uttered a sentence: "If that's really the case, then you can only pray for good luck."

God!

Song Miqiu couldn't help but shout in her heart, she really didn't want to experience so much hardship at such a young age!

She hadn't fully recovered from her recent imprisonment, and now she had to live in constant fear, always on guard against someone stabbing her in the back.

Song Miqiu covered her face with both hands and rubbed it vigorously. She almost wanted to run to a temple to ask for a talisman.

She would give more money for incense and oil, so that Buddha would give her the most reliable talisman. That way, she wouldn't be afraid of so much.

The two whispered to each other the whole way. Just as they were about to reach the Imperial Hospital, a physician passed by them, paused, and fixed his gaze on Song Miqiu.

"Imperial Physician Song, what are you still doing here?" The imperial physician looked at Song Miqiu with a puzzled expression.

This left Song Miqiu quite bewildered. She chuckled dryly and asked in confusion, "If I'm not here, where else could I be?"

When the imperial physician realized that Song Miqiu had misunderstood him, he quickly explained, "Granny Hua has been waiting for you in the room. I thought you had already gone to greet her."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu subconsciously looked at Ming Taicheng, who also gave her a helpless expression.

Just when one problem seemed to be resolved, another arose. Song Miqiu hadn't expected things to happen so quickly!

Following the imperial physician's instructions, Song Miqiu nervously clenched her hands and walked into a room. She stood in front of Granny Hua and bowed.
