I insist

Chapter 321: The Truth Revealed

Seeing Song Miqiu's appearance, Consort Li was even more furious and simply punished him by deducting his salary.

"Your Majesty..." Consort Li wanted to say something more, but with just one look from the Emperor, she obediently shut her mouth.

"Song Miqiu, you should go back now. I will summon you if there is anything I need to do."

Song Miqiu stepped back, and Ming Taicheng called out from behind, "Song Miqiu, what's wrong with you? Why do you always get into so much trouble?"

"You have my reasons, I don't. I was perfectly fine at home when a group of people carried me here. I'm still thinking to myself, 'I was just sitting at home when disaster struck.'" Song Miqiu had never seen anyone so unlucky.

Ming Taicheng looked at Song Miqiu helplessly and shook his head.

What's your opinion on Consort Li's situation?

"What do you think? It's definitely none of my business," Song Miqiu said, acting as if it had nothing to do with her.

“I know it has nothing to do with you, but this matter involves you.” Ming Taicheng looked at Song Miqiu, who seemed indifferent, but he had not cleared his name; he was a scapegoat.

"That's true, but investigating cases isn't something I do; I'm just a doctor."

Although Song Miqiu knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, Consort Li did not think so.

"That's simple. The problem probably lies with that palace maid. If we start with her, we should be able to find the person who instructed her."

Ming Taicheng also expressed his agreement.

“That palace maid is clearly in serious trouble; she fainted immediately. I will have the Imperial Guards interrogate her right away.”

Upon realizing this, Ming Taicheng immediately ran to tell the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Seeing that Ming Taicheng was even more anxious than she was, Song Miqiu felt a warmth in her heart.

Song Miqiu pushed open the front door and saw Qiu Tianlei holding a sobbing Tian Yumei, while Yu Huailin had a dark face.

"What are you all doing in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Song Miqiu asked, seeing the family sitting in the living room with gloomy faces and not saying a word.

Ignoring all the stares, Yu Huailin rushed towards Song Miqiu and hugged her tightly. It was all his fault for being too late and getting kidnapped.

Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei also stood up and saw that Song Miqiu had returned unharmed.

With a sob in her voice, Tian Yumei said, "Mother, why are you back? I clearly saw you being carried away by a group of men in black."

Qiu Tianlei said anxiously, "Mom, do you know how worried I was about you? I thought something terrible had happened to you."

"Pah, can't you wish me well for once?"

Seeing her whole family so worried about her, Song Miqiu felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

"Mother, that's not what I meant. It's just that what we saw just now really frightened us."

Qiu Tianlei tried his best to explain. Song Miqiu also knew that Qiu Tianlei was worried about her.

Yu Huailin was also checking everywhere to see if Song Miqiu had any problems.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's Consort Li who miscarried. His Majesty sent me to see her!" Song Miqiu said casually, not telling them the truth for fear of worrying them.

"You scared me to death! Thank goodness you're alright. Yu Mei, you should go and rest." Qiu Tianlei urged Tian Yu Mei to rest as soon as he knew Song Miqiu was alright.

Tian Yumei stared at Song Miqiu, who gave her a reassuring gesture before she left.

"This is Consort Li's miscarriage, what does it have to do with you?" Yu Huailin didn't believe Song Miqiu's words. If he was really just going to treat Consort Li, why would he kidnap her in the middle of the night? Why not just inform her directly?

Song Miqiu didn't know how to explain. Yu Huailin stared at her with eyes as deep as dry wells. Song Miqiu felt that if she lied, Yu Huailin would definitely notice something was wrong.

Song Miqiu could only tell the truth.

"Consort Li has miscarried. I prescribed the medicine to prevent miscarriage. Your Majesty, if you're afraid I'll run away, just have the Embroidered Uniform Guard take me there."

"Are you alright?"

"It's alright. If something were wrong, I wouldn't still be standing here."

Song Miqiu was afraid that Yu Huailin would worry, so she didn't want to say anything.

Yu Huailin hugged Song Miqiu tightly.

"You've suffered in the palace."

"It's alright, thankfully it was a close call." Song Miqiu patted Yu Huailin on the back.

"What is the truth of the matter?" Yu Huailin thought that since Song Miqiu had returned, the truth must have been found out!

"Not yet." Song Miqiu shook her head, expressing her helplessness.

Yu Huailin's expression turned serious.

“If the matter isn’t thoroughly investigated, Consort Li will definitely not let you off the hook.”

"Don't worry, now we just need to interrogate that palace maid and we'll definitely get to the bottom of this."

Yu Huailin was relieved, but then he thought, "What about the Emperor? Didn't he punish you?"

"They fined me, but they took three months' salary from me. That way I won't have to treat the ladies. You can't tell me how happy I am!"

The thought of the Emperor's punishment was like a huge blessing to Song Miqiu.

Seeing Song Miqiu so happy, Yu Huailin figured it was nothing serious, but the thought of Song Miqiu being bullied by Consort Li, Consort Lin, and the Empress Dowager in the palace still made him very uncomfortable.

Song Miqiu waved his hand at Yu Huailin's face and said, "What are you thinking about? It's so late, go to sleep. Sigh, I'm tired too."

After all this trouble, I'm really exhausted.

"Okay, you should go and rest."

As Yu Huailin watched Song Miqiu's figure disappear, he ran to a secluded spot and whistled. A bodyguard appeared in front of him.

"Go and find out for me information about Consort Li and the Empress Dowager as soon as possible."

The guard nodded hurriedly and flew away in a flash.

The next day

Song Miqiu was in a particularly good mood. He could rest at home for a few days, and it was another peaceful day.

"Imperial Physician Song, Emperor Ming Taicheng wants you to go to the Imperial Hospital." Song Miqiu had just settled into the rocking chair, ready to relax, but before he could even warm his seat, he was being sent to the palace again.

Fortunately, it was Ming Taicheng who sent her, which is better than the Emperor or the Empress sending her.

Be careful in everything you do.

"Don't worry, it was Ming Taicheng who called her."

Song Miqiu had just arrived at the Imperial Hospital when Ming Taicheng ran over excitedly.

Do you know? Do you know?

Song Miqiu rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know what's going on."

"It was that palace maid from yesterday who confessed."

Song Miqiu raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"Who ordered this? Can I clear my name?"

Song Miqiu also became very excited.

Ming Taicheng nodded excitedly.

"That's right! Back then, Consort Li, relying on the fact that she was pregnant with a prince, acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the palace, and beat up a concubine. That concubine held a grudge and thought of poisoning her."

Song Miqiu said with great dissatisfaction, "If you poisoned me, then so be it. Why frame me? I have no grudge against that concubine."

Honestly, even if it's mutual revenge, she doesn't have to be dragged into it!

"Whoever gave the prescription for Consort Li to prevent miscarriage, if we don't wrong you, who will we wrong?"

Song Miqiu thought about it and agreed, but when she thought about how Consort Li had insisted that she was the one who had harmed the child in her womb, she realized that the tables had turned and the blame had fallen on someone else.
