I insist

Chapter 261: The Gossipy Palace Maid

Song Miqiu subconsciously glanced at the person she had beaten to the ground behind her. Like a cat whose tail had been caught, she gave an awkward laugh and stood there with her shoulders hunched.

At the same time, Song Miqiu moved closer to the group of men, trying to block them from view, so that the Seventh Prince wouldn't see them.

She was very uneasy, fearing that the Seventh Prince would punish her if he saw this scene, since fighting was not allowed in the palace.

Song Miqiu clearly violated this rule.

When the palace maids lying on the ground saw the Seventh Prince, their eyes lit up instantly. They glared at him fiercely, knowing that Song Miqiu's death was imminent!

"Your Highness, Imperial Physician Song attacked us at will in the palace! Please punish her!"

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu's body instantly shuddered. She turned around and glared at the other party. Song Miqiu hadn't expected these people to pretend to be so busy.

She turned her head away and slapped her thigh in frustration. Song Miqiu should have acted earlier and beaten the person directly, so that things like this wouldn't have happened.

Now look what happened. Although he beat the person up and got his revenge, he also got caught.

Seeing Song Miqiu's very uneasy appearance, the Seventh Prince smiled and walked over while clapping his hands. Although he stood there lazily, his back was very straight.

"You're not bad, you're so skilled at your age!"

Song Miqiu had been expecting a scolding, but after hearing these words, she was completely taken aback.

She gasped, looking at the other person with a blank expression, and at the same time subconsciously glanced at the people lying on the ground, not reacting for a moment.

The palace maids lying on the ground were genuinely puzzled by the Seventh Prince's attitude. One maid glanced frantically in Song Miqiu's direction and shouted, "Your Majesty! She's beating people up in the palace! You must punish her! You can't just stand by and watch our Xiaobai get beaten up!"

Hearing this, the Seventh Prince looked at them with great displeasure, his eyes filled with coldness. "Am I the master or are you the masters? Did you stop your incessant chatter just now?!"

The palace maid's face turned pale instantly. She realized that what she had said had displeased the Seventh Prince, and she also realized that the Seventh Prince had overheard them gossiping about Song Miqiu.

Thinking of this place, the palace maid's face was extremely pale. Her body was twisting and turning on the ground, accompanied by a slight tremor, but she didn't know what to say.

Once they finally stopped talking, the Seventh Prince turned his gaze to Song Miqiu. He was somewhat annoyed and said with a gentle smile, "They were being a little noisy."

Song Miqiu was still in a daze, blinking as she responded to the Seventh Prince's words.

"Judging from your attire, you must be an imperial physician?" the Seventh Prince said with a smile, the coldness in his eyes long since vanished, replaced by a hint of expectation. "Could you teach me the martial arts you were just demonstrating?"

Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "To be honest, I wanted to learn some martial arts from you so that I wouldn't be bullied."

Listening to the Seventh Prince's words, Song Miqiu then remembered the Seventh Prince's background. He was born to a palace maid, and his one-night stand with the Emperor was an accident. Afterwards, he was neglected by the Emperor.

Therefore, the birth of the seventh prince was met with skepticism from many.

Because his mother was not favored, the seventh prince was practically invisible in the palace, and his mother had passed away two years prior.

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu finally understood why the Seventh Prince had said he wouldn't be bullied anymore. She glanced at the palace maids on the ground who were still crying in pain. They obviously didn't recognize the Seventh Prince. Judging from his clothes and appearance, she knew he was a prince.

If he knew the Seventh Prince's identity, he would probably be just like me, constantly being mocked and humiliated by him.

Faced with the expectation in the Seventh Prince's eyes, Song Miqiu scratched the back of his head in shame and lowered his head, saying, "I don't know martial arts. I just pressed their pressure points. When they felt pain, their bodies curled up, which is how I knocked them all down."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince did not give up just because it wasn't about martial arts. He took a step forward, and perhaps because Song Miqiu looked like an old woman, he did not keep his distance.

The distance between the two was almost the size of two fists. The Seventh Prince quickly grabbed the other's hand and pleaded, "Imperial Physician Song, please teach me! Even if it's not martial arts, I really want to learn!"

Song Miqiu initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought about the Seventh Prince's background and the way he was dressed, and realized that he was living in dire straits.

If the Seventh Prince is taught, it will become much easier for him to deal with others or retaliate in the future.

Thinking of this, out of sympathy, Song Miqiu nodded to the Seventh Prince and whispered, "Alright, Your Majesty, I will teach you how to use acupoints to fight back."

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's agreement, the Seventh Prince smiled and extended his hand to Song Miqiu, saying, "Then it's settled!"

The Seventh Prince originally wanted to leave, but considering that Song Miqiu was a royal physician and it was not easy to make an appointment on a regular basis, he frowned. Seeing that Song Miqiu was also preparing to leave, the Seventh Prince quickly reached out and stopped him.

"Hey, we haven't made an appointment yet, Imperial Physician Song." The Seventh Prince thought of something, his eyes gleaming. "You can't expect me to go to the Imperial Hospital to see you every day, can you?"

He knew that Song Miqiu would be frightened by his words.

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu's hair stood on end. There were already rumors circulating in the Imperial Hospital about her and the Emperor. If the Seventh Prince got involved, wouldn't she be in for another scandal with him?

Upon thinking of this, Song Miqiu immediately stopped in her tracks. She looked at the Seventh Prince, thought for a moment, and decided to discuss the location with him.

Once it was decided, Song Miqiu had no desire to stay there any longer.

She quickly picked up her medicine box and left.

The Seventh Prince watched Song Miqiu leave with a smile, and only when the other's figure disappeared from his sight did the smile on the Seventh Prince's lips slowly fade.

He looked at the palace maids and coldly shouted, "Come out."

"Master." A guard suddenly emerged from the shadows and bowed to the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince looked at the palace maid who was trying to stand up and leave, and said coldly, "Quickly get rid of all these palace maids for me, don't leave a single one alive."

After all, he was someone who had offended Song Miqiu. Furthermore, if these people were to reveal what happened between him and Song Miqiu, it would be much more difficult for Song Miqiu to teach him acupoints later.
