Chapter 418: Eliminating Liuli

Back at the Imperial Hospital, Song Miqiu sat in a chair, constantly thinking about how to avoid Liuli.

Because she knew that as long as she stayed in the palace, the other woman would cause her trouble from time to time. Although she wasn't afraid, she still found it troublesome.

"It seems the only way to avoid Liuli is to use the Emperor."

Song Miqiu thought to himself.

After inquiring about the Emperor's situation, Song Miqiu exchanged pills with the system and took them to see the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you," Song Miqiu said, kneeling on the ground and looking at the emperor.

When the Emperor saw Song Miqiu, he nodded slightly: "Get up. What brings you here?"

Song Miqiu held the pill in his hand high above his head: "Your Majesty, the research has made progress."

The Emperor stood up excitedly and asked, "So this pill is the result of successful research?"

"Your Majesty, it can be considered a success. However, I can make it even better, but I need to focus on my research," Song Miqiu said, kneeling on the ground.

The Emperor had the pills brought over, examined them carefully, and then nodded, saying, "Good, then you can concentrate on your research. I will not allow anyone else to disturb you."

You can just focus on studying this.

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then she subtly mentioned that she could not treat the concubines in the harem, and the emperor agreed.

Now Song Miqiu felt relieved and no longer worried that Liuli would cause him trouble.

Soon, Liuli came looking for them, and she did it in person.

"I have met Consort Jieyu," Song Miqiu said in a very calm tone.

Liuli snorted coldly: "Imperial Physician Song, it's really difficult to see you. I'm not feeling well today, so please come to the palace to take my pulse."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness, I have important matters to attend to. Please find another imperial physician."

Now that Song Miqiu has the Emperor's decree, he is naturally not afraid of Liuli causing him trouble.

Liuli was shocked that Song Miqiu would reject her, and she spoke angrily.

"Song Miqiu, I am a Consort, and you are merely a royal physician. How dare you refuse me? Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for this?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. His Majesty has already granted me permission not to treat the concubines in the harem. If you, Consort Jieyu, feel that this is inappropriate, you may go to His Majesty."

Song Miqiu knelt on the ground and spoke to Liuli with neither servility nor arrogance.

Liuli clenched her fists tightly; she hadn't expected the Emperor to be involved.

The Emperor has already spoken about this matter. If she insists that Song Miqiu go with him, the Emperor will definitely be unhappy if he finds out.

At that time, she no longer needed the emperor's favor.

Thinking of this, Liuli became even more dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do. She could only glare fiercely at Song Miqiu and turn away.

After seeing Liuli leave, Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that she had gone to see the Emperor in advance, otherwise she would have suffered another ordeal.

At this time, Yu Huailin also received news from the palace and became increasingly dissatisfied with Liuli. He wrote a letter to the wicked concubine, asking her to get rid of Liuli and offering to help her become empress.

Upon receiving the letter, the concubine agreed without hesitation, since the old eunuch was unreliable and it was better to cooperate with him.

Song Miqiu knew nothing about this matter.

The old eunuch naturally learned that Liuli was in the palace, and he felt very troubled, also because she was being too sentimental.

Even if she didn't want to get involved, she was still her adopted daughter, and she still felt sorry for her.

The old eunuch wrote a letter advising Liuli to stop targeting Song Miqiu.

For several days in a row, Song Miqiu quietly drifted through her days. On this day, after she finished her shift, she found Yu Huailin waiting for her.

Song Miqiu wasn't surprised, but there was a slight awkwardness between the two of them when they met.

Afraid that she might misunderstand, Yu Huailin quickly said, "I came here to handle some business, and I was thinking of inviting you to dinner. Do you have time?"

"Of course, let's go." Song Miqiu didn't back down and naturally accepted his invitation.

The two arrived at the restaurant and remained silent.

Finally, Yu Huailin broke the silence by revealing his recent activities.

He secretly persuaded several important court officials and generals, and also broke with the old eunuch completely, refusing to compromise for anything.

"From now on, no one and nothing can influence my decisions. I can protect you well now."

Yu Huailin looked at Song Miqiu seriously and spoke word by word.

Seeing Yu Huailin's serious expression, Song Miqiu did not answer his question, but instead changed the subject.

What are the specialties of this restaurant?

Yu Huailin was very anxious to know what Song Miqiu was thinking, so he was very worried.

"Believe me, everything I'm saying is true."

Song Miqiu smiled slightly at him: "I know what you're saying is true."

“But you don’t seem to believe me at all,” Yu Huailin said anxiously.

"So what kind of person do you want me to be?"

Yu Huailin was at a loss for words to answer the question. He lowered his head slightly and pondered deeply.

After a moment of silence, Yu Huailin continued, "Do you no longer trust me because of what happened before?"

“You know who I am and you know my current situation. I cannot give up what I have now.”

Song Miqiu is now just an old man, and he already has grandchildren.

The thought of an old woman marrying a young and handsome man is frightening, and of course, she didn't want to get married.

Yu Huailin frowned slightly and said, "There's always a way to solve this."

“There’s always a way to solve it, but not now,” Song Miqiu said calmly.

Yu Huailin always felt that Song Miqiu's rejection of him must be because he was not sincere enough or his promises were not enough.

He then made many promises, hoping that Song Miqiu would relent.

Song Miqiu remained silent; the more promises Yu Huailin made, the less she dared to believe them.

Seeing that she wouldn't give in, Yu Huailin felt heartbroken and hugged her without saying a word.

Yu Huailin hugged her tightly and said, "Instead of saying these empty words, let's see what I've done. I'll show you."

Song Miqiu pushed Yu Huailin aside and focused her gaze on the table.

“I will move back tonight,” Yu Huailin said decisively.

"Move back?" Song Miqiu frowned slightly.

Yu Huailin nodded slightly: "How can you see my sincerity if I don't move back? I'll make you give in."

Song Miqiu knew that once he made a decision, he would find a way to make it happen even if she refused, so she didn't waste her breath arguing.

After having a meal at the restaurant, the two returned home and walked into the courtyard side by side.

Qiu Tianlei was quite surprised to see the two of them return at the same time. Song Miqiu had previously disagreed with letting Yu Huailin return, but today they came back together.
