I insist

Chapter 498: Crying

"Thank you. Then I will entrust my wife and children to Physician Song. After I return, I will grant you any request you may make," Prince Jing said earnestly.

Song Miqiu smiled slightly: "Alright, then I'll wait for Prince Jing to come back alive and make his demands."

Prince Jing nodded slightly to her, then stood up and left the clinic, while Song Miqiu watched him leave.

Even after hearing about the remnants of the previous dynasty, Song Miqiu still felt that things were not simple, so he left the clinic and returned to his residence.

Yu Huailin's injuries had healed considerably by this time, and he was pacing back and forth in the courtyard of the mansion, looking like he had nothing to do.

When he saw Song Miqiu return, he was somewhat surprised: "You actually came back so early? That's quite surprising. I didn't see you come back this early even when I was recuperating."

"Alright, stop joking. I just got some news from Prince Jing that feels a bit off. I wonder if it's being targeted at us."

Song Miqiu looked at Yu Huailin very seriously and said softly.

Yu Huailin immediately became serious and asked softly, "What happened? Why are you so serious?"

Song Miqiu recounted the entire incident to Yu Huailin.

"I still can't figure out what happened. I didn't pay much attention to the Emperor's previous strange behavior, but this time it's different."

If this method is aimed at us, it's too troublesome and might not even harm us. But if it's not aimed at us, then who is it aimed at?

Song Miqiu frowned deeply. This matter baffled her, and this feeling made her extremely upset.

Yu Huailin's expression was also very serious: "We don't know anything about the current situation, so we can't act rashly. We can only take it one step at a time."

"We must be careful in everything we do, and not give anyone any leverage against us."

After the court session, the emperor did not go anywhere else, but went to Liuli's bedroom.

When Liuli saw the Emperor arrive, she quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."

"My beloved consort, please rise. I have been away for so long. Have you missed me?"

The Emperor reached out and helped Liuli up, letting her lean against him. As he spoke, he touched her face with a smile.

They had seen emperors like this before, so they were no longer surprised by it.

"Of course I miss him. I think about the Emperor every single moment," Liuli said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's smile widened, and he immediately picked up Princess Liuli and carried her to the inner palace.

Upon seeing this, the servants sensibly closed the door. Such incidents have been happening frequently lately, and they have become accustomed to them.

After their passionate encounter, Liuli leaned against the Emperor's chest and whispered, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Jing is coming to the palace, is that true?"

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and gave a faint "hmm": "Prince Jing is going to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty. In order to ensure he devotes himself to this matter..."

"Of course I need someone who can threaten him. Princess Jing and her newborn child are perfect. What? My dear consort, do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no objection. I just want Your Majesty to grant me a small request," Liuli said with a smile.

The Emperor opened his eyes, his hand idly stroking her back, and asked, "I wonder what my beloved consort wishes to request?"

"Could Princess Jing and her child stay in my palace? I could help Your Majesty look after her and perhaps learn how to care for a child."

Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? Your Majesty, please agree.

Liuli looked into the Emperor's eyes and said softly.

The Emperor looked at her, intending to refuse, but the words that came out of his mouth were an agreement. The Emperor frowned slightly, not understanding why he had said that.

Liuli didn't notice anything unusual about the Emperor. She hugged him tightly and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty. You are the best."

With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, the Emperor naturally forgot all other thoughts and pounced on Liuli again, not letting her go until after the court session.

Princess Jing and her child entered the palace today. She knew why the Emperor was doing this, but she didn't care and simply obediently came to Liuli's palace.

Looking at the palace, Princess Jing asked with some doubt, "Is there a mistake? Isn't this place already inhabited?"

"Of course there's no mistake, Princess Jing. I am Liuli. I asked the Emperor to allow you and your child to stay here, just to keep me company."

After all, I'm pregnant now, and there are many things I don't know. I hope Princess Jing can tell me more.

Liuli came out from inside, saw Princess Jing, smiled slightly, and said softly.

Princess Jing knew about Liuli, and she nodded slightly to Liuli: "Your Highness, there are so many experienced matrons in the palace..."

They're all better than me, so asking me is really redundant, and besides, I don't feel comfortable having me here."

The news that the concubine had been reprimanded by the emperor and that the concubine had gained favor had already spread far and wide, so she naturally knew about it. She certainly didn't want to see the emperor and her being affectionate every day.

Liuli deliberately ignored the hidden meaning in Princess Jing's words and said with a smile, "It's quite boring living in this palace by myself, so it would be best if you could come and keep me company."

I've already had the resting area prepared; let me show you inside."

Without waiting for Princess Jing's opinion, he grabbed her hand and pulled her inside.

Princess Jing frowned slightly, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and go with her. Once inside, she did feel very comfortable.

Seeing that Princess Jing was holding the child, Liuli took the initiative to say, "Princess Jing, it must be too tiring for you to hold the child like this. You should let the servants take care of him."

As he spoke, he gave a wink to the palace maid beside him.

Princess Jing quickly stepped aside, tightening her grip on the child. She whispered, "Thank you for your concern, Consort Jieyu. I'm already used to taking care of the child myself."

I don't want to rely on others; I'll take good care of him myself.

Seeing that Princess Jing was unwilling, Liuli didn't say anything more, only nodding and saying, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer, Princess Jing."

"Get some rest. If you feel unwell, just let me know, and I'll do my best to accommodate you."

"Thank you, Consort Jieyu," said Princess Jing.

Liuli smiled slightly and left. She had originally wanted to talk to Princess Jing more, but at this moment she had no desire to speak to her at all.

She didn't want to make a fool of herself, and besides, she had her own plans; there was no need to try to please her.

Princess Jing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Liuli leave. She looked down at her child and thought to herself, "Mother, I will definitely protect you."
