I insist

Chapter 213: Why Not Arrest Him?

Seeing that Lin Yecheng was about to do something for her again, Song Miqiu was so frightened that she stood directly in front of Lin Yecheng and spread her arms to block his way.

Song Miqiu stared intently at the person in front of her. She reached out to take the medicine box back, but Lin Yecheng reacted first, leaning back to avoid Song Miqiu's hand.

"Lin Yecheng, what's wrong with you today?" Not having received her first-aid kit, Song Miqiu looked at the person in front of her with great curiosity. She really couldn't understand what was wrong with the person in front of her, that he was acting so strangely.

"Nothing much, I just feel that my attitude towards you before was not good." Lin Yecheng said his opinion frankly, and at the same time he said seriously, "I think from today onwards, we should coexist peacefully."

These words startled Song Miqiu even more. She glanced at Lin Yecheng suspiciously, but he remained calm, making it seem as if there was something wrong with her.

Lin Yecheng insisted on carrying the medicine box, and after several unsuccessful attempts, Song Miqiu simply granted his wish and let Lin Yecheng carry it on his back.

The two of them went to the Harmony Palace. At first, Song Miqiu thought there might be some problems during the treatment, because Lin Yecheng's skills were not even as good as hers.

She originally wanted Ming Taicheng to keep an eye on things for her so that no problems would arise.

Seeing the Empress Dowager lying weakly on the bed, Song Miqiu felt a surge of pleasure. She watched as Granny Hua wiped the sweat from the Empress Dowager's forehead, then turned and walked to the ebony table, opened the medicine box, and took out the pills she had specially prepared for the Empress Dowager.

Lin Yecheng stood aside watching Song Miqiu's actions. Xiao Shi had already told him which medicine to put the pill in. He kept watching Song Miqiu place the pill on a small piece of paper, pour a bowl of cold water, and walk to the Empress Dowager's bedside.

Song Miqiu handed everything in her hands to Granny Hua.

The other party did not refuse, took the pills from Song Miqiu's hand, carefully put them into the Empress Dowager's mouth, and at the same time held cool water to the Empress Dowager's lips.

Lin Yecheng watched as the Empress Dowager took the medicine, and only then did a weight lift from his heart.

He exhaled a heavy breath, looked up in Song Miqiu's direction, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Lin Yecheng is now just waiting for the medicine to take effect. When the Empress Dowager has health problems, he will blame Song Miqiu. Then the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will naturally get rid of Song Miqiu.

Lin Yecheng was overjoyed that his thorn in the side had been so easily removed.

Throughout the treatment process, Song Miqiu felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it and could only keep it to herself.

Everything was normal during the treatment. Just as it was coming to an end, Song Miqiu saw that the Empress Dowager looked normal, and she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had been overthinking things.

She bowed to the Empress Dowager and said with a light smile, "Today's treatment is now concluded. Your humble servant and the head physician will take our leave."

Granny Hua glanced at Song Miqiu and saw that the Empress Dowager was resting with her eyes tightly closed and her face was very pale. Although she was puzzled, she still nodded to Song Miqiu on behalf of the Empress Dowager.

On the way back, Lin Yecheng didn't forget to congratulate Song Miqiu.

Having been followed by Lin Yecheng the entire way and nagged about it the whole time, Song Miqiu was already quite indifferent.

She wanted to ask Lin Yecheng some questions, but before she had taken more than a few steps, the Imperial Guards suddenly caught up with her.

The sound of footsteps behind them completely bewildered Song Miqiu. She and Lin Yecheng stood there, watching the Imperial Guards chase after them.

In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Guards appeared in front of Song Miqiu. She hurriedly glanced at Lin Yecheng and saw him take a few steps back, clearly not wanting to be involved.

"Hey, no..."

"You want to kill the Empress Dowager with medicine! And you still want to argue!"

Song Miqiu tried to explain in a panic, but the Imperial Guards obviously didn't give her the chance. They quickly took the medicine box off Song Miqiu's body and pressed down on her shoulders.

"Come on! We're going to the jail for interrogation!"

Song Miqiu shook her arms, struggling violently and repeatedly shouting that she was innocent.

She glanced at Lin Yecheng out of the corner of her eye and saw him standing aside, looking indifferent. Song Miqiu suddenly realized that Lin Yecheng had been acting very strangely these past two days.

Her medical skills in treating the Empress Dowager were perfectly normal; she and Ming Taicheng had confirmed the procedures several times before she began, so there was no way she could have made a mistake.

If there's anything wrong, it's only that the medication needs to be changed.

Song Miqiu suddenly remembered that Lin Yecheng had arrived at the Imperial Hospital a day early, a day before the day he was to examine the Empress Dowager.

However, Song Miqiu could dismiss this idea. After all, Lin Yecheng had already left when she put away the medicine box. Lin Yecheng had been loitering around her all day yesterday, leaving her with almost no free time to change her medicine.

She frowned slightly, suddenly remembering that when she opened her medicine box earlier that day to check if she had taken the wrong medication, she noticed that the lock on her medicine box seemed to have a problem.

But she didn't think much of it at the time, figuring that her medication had already been tampered with by someone else.

Song Miqiu was furious when she thought of hitting this place; she never expected to be tricked like this.

Song Miqiu recalled that before she went to treat the Empress Dowager today, Lin Yecheng had appeared in front of her very attentively, as if he already knew that Ming Taicheng would not come, and also knew where she wanted to go.

At the time, she just thought Lin Yecheng was very strange and thought he might do something shady on the way.

But throughout the journey, Lin Yecheng and I both acted as harmless people who had already reflected on our previous actions.

However, in Song Miqiu's eyes, Lin Yecheng was not normal. There must be something fishy about such abnormal behavior. She thought that the reason why she was framed and arrested by the Imperial Guard was related to Lin Yecheng.

Song Miqiu looked up at Lin Yecheng, only to see that the Imperial Guards showed no intention of arresting him. She immediately questioned, "We're both receiving treatment, so why are you arresting him but not me?!"

"Granny Hua said that they only need to arrest you, so Physician Lin did not go to treat the Empress Dowager."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu was so angry she almost bled. She hadn't expected this outcome; she should have let Lin Yecheng join in earlier.

Just then, Song Miqiu's suspicions about Lin Yecheng reached their peak. She glared angrily at Lin Yecheng and questioned him repeatedly, "Was it you! Was it you who orchestrated this to harm me?!"

As she spoke, Song Miqiu was so excited that she tried to break free from the Imperial Guards' grasp, but the disparity in strength between men and women made it impossible for her to break free. She could only swing her body forcefully, reaching towards Lin Yecheng in an attempt to find the right moment to pull him away.
