I insist

Chapter 500: Here it comes

Song Miqiu's mind was focused on Princess Jing and the child, and she didn't notice that the door had already been closed after she barged in.

Having confirmed that the child was also poisoned, Song Miqiu decided to treat Princess Jing first, since her condition seemed to be worse.

Princess Jing was lying on the ground, vomiting a lot of blood, which confirmed that she had been poisoned. Without hesitation, Song Miqiu quickly exchanged for life-saving medicine.

After Song Miqiu finished giving the medicine to Princess Jing to make sure she would wake up soon, she turned her attention to the child.

She had just checked the child's pulse and confirmed that the child had been poisoned, and because of the long delay, the child's breathing was already very weak.

She also gave the child the life-saving medicine, inwardly cursing Liuli: "She's really heartless; how could she do that to such a young child?"

She's a mother herself, doesn't she feel any pain? We can't let her off easily this time; she truly deserves to die.

Just then, there was a sound outside. Song Miqiu stood up, secretly guessing, "It must be Liuli bringing people to convict me of murder."

Even if I say it has nothing to do with me, those people won't believe me. I have to find a way to resolve the current situation.

Just as she was trying to figure out a solution, the door was pushed open from the outside. Song Miqiu looked at the person who came in with suspicion, and to her surprise, it was the Seventh Prince.

Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief, inexplicably feeling that the Seventh Prince would help her.

Upon seeing Song Miqiu, the Seventh Prince quickly closed the door and whispered, "Don't worry, I've already sent the people outside away. No one will notice."

Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. This time, it was Liuli who did it, right? How much were you involved?"

The Seventh Prince did not answer Song Miqiu's question. Instead, he focused his attention on Princess Jing and the child. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that their complexions had improved considerably.

"Have you brought them back to life?" the Seventh Prince asked cautiously.

Song Miqiu glanced at him indifferently, then placed the child on the bed, while the Seventh Prince picked up Princess Jing and placed her on the bed as well.

After settling everyone in, Song Miqiu turned to the Seventh Prince and asked, "How much were you involved in this matter?"

The Seventh Prince lowered his head slightly: "I am not particularly clear about this matter."

"I'm not entirely sure, which means you knew, you knew that Liuli would harm Princess Jing and the child, right? When did you become like this?"

He's just a child, a newborn. Liuli has already gone mad. Have you gone mad too? He's your brother's child.

Song Miqiu stared at the Seventh Prince with a livid face and shouted at him.

She knew that the Seventh Prince wanted the throne out of desperation, but she didn't think he was without conscience. However, what happened today was a slap in the face to her.

Not wanting Song Miqiu to misunderstand him, the Seventh Prince quickly explained, "I originally disagreed with this plan, but Liuli still carried it out in the end."

"It was my men who switched the poison; otherwise, Princess Jing and her child would be dead by now."

"Shouldn't they thank you? The Emperor sent Princess Jing with the child to the palace; I don't believe you didn't know what that meant. They were already surrounded by danger."

I don't expect you to protect them, after all, Prince Jing is your rival. But whatever you do to Prince Jing or the Queen, what about the children?

A newborn child, who understands nothing, you killed him like that, can you really bear it?

Song Miqiu had calmed down considerably. She still believed the explanation the Seventh Prince had just given her and knew that his conscience was not completely dead, so she wanted to offer some advice.

The Seventh Prince nodded slightly: "I know what you mean, and I know that doing this will hurt the child, but I have no choice."

"It's understandable that you want the throne, because we don't know what you've been through or what you've suffered. We can't let you give up this idea."

But you can't do terrible things for the throne. Aren't you afraid of ending up like the current emperor?

Song Miqiu frowned slightly as she spoke.

The Seventh Prince tried to express his true thoughts, but Song Miqiu said, "Let's see if you want power or freedom."

"What do you mean by that?" the Seventh Prince asked, frowning slightly.

"If you want freedom, then give up the idea of ​​becoming emperor, because once you become emperor, you will lose your freedom, even if you want to do things your own way."

That's impossible. You've been in the palace for so many years, and you still can't understand such a small thing?"

Song Miqiu was surprised that even the Seventh Prince didn't know about this. She even began to doubt whether he was a prince at all.

Liuli never expected that her plan would be ruined by the Seventh Prince like this. She smashed the things in her hand on the ground in a rage:

"The Seventh Prince is utterly useless. He's completely bewitched by Song Miqiu, just like Yu Huailin."

"Master, what do we do now? The plan has been ruined. Should we stop?" a palace maid asked in a low voice from the side.

Liuli had made up her mind. Even if it offended the Seventh Prince, she would still get rid of Song Miqiu.

"Don't stop! Why stop with such a good opportunity? I'm going to see the Emperor."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and walked quickly outside, heading straight to where the Emperor handled state affairs.

At this point, she didn't need to report; she could just go in without anyone stopping her.

The Emperor was actually controlled by Liuli. He listened to her in some matters, but there were some things she couldn't control.

For example, the emperor would never actually harm a prince, so in the end the princes only lost their right to the throne, rather than their lives.

Liuli naturally noticed this as well, so she didn't force the emperor to kill the prince. She knew that doing so would only arouse more suspicion.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Liuli bowed to the Emperor.

The Emperor glanced at her indifferently and said softly, "Get up. My beloved concubine, what brings you here?"

"Your Majesty, please rest. I would like you to see Prince Jing's child. He is your grandson. Don't you want to see him?"

Liuli stood up, walked to the Emperor's side, lowered her voice, and asked with a slight upturn of her lips.

The Emperor nodded: "Of course I have to go see my grandson. I haven't seen her yet, I must go."

“Yes, that grandson is in my palace. Let’s go take a look,” Liuli continued.

The Emperor slowly stood up and walked forward step by step. Liuli walked beside him and then said softly, "Your Majesty, take the Imperial Guards with you."

"I think I just overheard someone plotting against Princess Jing and the child. I'm afraid something might have happened, so I've brought the Imperial Guards to prevent the thieves from escaping."

"Alright, I'll do as my beloved consort says."
