I insist

Chapter 360: Twisted Mind

Song Miqiu first put a pillow under the covers to pretend he was asleep, and then took out poison from the system for self-defense.

In case things get serious, Song Miqiu will have a chance to escape.

Song Miqiu then hid in a corner he had found beforehand.

The moment the men in black entered and began searching, it would give Song Miqiu a chance to escape.

Having prepared all this, Song Miqiu was also waiting for the man in black to come in.

Sure enough, after a short while, Song Miqiu heard rustling sounds coming from around the tent, and he perked up.

The men in black rushed in, thinking Song Miqiu was lying in bed, and approached the bedside with knives in hand.

I only realized I'd been tricked the moment I lifted the blanket.

“Brothers, she must be in this tent. Search it thoroughly.”

After receiving the order, the men in black began their operation.

Seeing that they were heading in his direction, Song Miqiu swallowed and tightly gripped the poison in his hand.

Just as they were about to be discovered, several masked men suddenly rushed into the tent.

Once inside the tent, they started fighting with the men in black.

Song Miqiu watched the two groups of people wrestling together, not having time to analyze whether they were good or bad.

The most important thing is to find a chance to escape and save your life as soon as possible.

But escaping is easier said than done.

Just as Song Miqiu was about to stand up, a man in black fell down in front of him.

The two locked eyes for a moment.

Upon realizing his identity had been exposed, Song Miqiu got up and ran outside.

Then the man in black shouted, "Brothers, she's here!"

Soon all the men in black found out Song Miqiu's location.

Several men in black quickly shifted their target and attacked Song Miqiu's direction.

Upon seeing this, the masked man quickly stepped in front of Song Miqiu and shouted at her.

"We're guarding this place, you should run quickly."

Song Miqiu then realized that the masked man had come to rescue her, and guessed that Yu Huailin might have sent him to protect her because he didn't trust him.

Song Miqiu felt much more at ease immediately and finally found a chance to escape.

Just as Song Miqiu caught his breath outside the tent, he saw two guards standing to one side.

Worried that the masked man would lose his life, Song Miqiu didn't think twice before telling the guards what was going on inside.

"Go find the Emperor quickly! Someone is trying to assassinate me. Go and catch the assassin!"

The fact that the two guards remained unmoved and calm in the face of such a major event frightened Song Miqiu.

Sure enough, the two exchanged a glance and looked at Song Miqiu, clenching their teeth.

Song Miqiu then realized that they were all in cahoots.

How could the guards resist such a great temptation from Consort Li? In this palace, deaths are a common occurrence.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Miqiu was about to throw the poison in her hand, but she was too close to the two of them.

They spotted her immediately, and the guard grabbed Song Miqiu's hand and pinned it to the ground.

Song Miqiu had no martial arts skills and was too weak to deal with the two guards.

He was quickly caught and knocked unconscious.

After fainting, Song Miqiu had no idea what happened next.

The guards dragged the unconscious Song Miqiu to find Consort Li.

Consort Li laughed when she saw Song Miqiu's disheveled appearance.

He pinched Song Miqiu's chin with his hand, examining her face, and then slapped her hard across the face.

"Lock her up. I want to keep her here to torture her properly. Remember to gag her so she can't make a sound."

The guards naturally complied.

When Song Miqiu opened her eyes again, she found herself locked in a small wooden box, unable to move her limbs at all.

Moreover, his hands and feet were bound, and something was stuffed into his mouth, making him feel extremely uncomfortable all over.

However, Song Miqiu had no idea where he was, so he could only listen quietly to the sounds outside and wait for a chance to be rescued.

The scheming Consort Li locked Song Miqiu in a box and even had it placed in the Seventh Prince's tent.

The seventh prince was young and returned halfway through the banquet.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Song Miqiu, who was inside the box, was so startled that she slowed her breathing.

The seventh prince was still unaware of the situation and immediately took off his shoes upon entering the tent.

He kicked it left and right, both of them landing on the side of the box.

Only then did they notice the difference inside the tent compared to before.

"Someone come here."

The guards who were waiting outside came in, bowing and waiting for the Seventh Prince to speak.

The seventh prince is notorious for his ruthlessness in the palace. Despite his young age, he can be just as cruel as an adult.

"Where did this box come from? I've never seen it before."

The guards had already been bribed by Consort Li, and although they were sweating profusely with fear, they kept their mouths shut.

"Your Highness, this box has always been here. Perhaps you just haven't noticed it before."

Fortunately, the Seventh Prince didn't take it to heart.

Seeing this, the guards quickly left.

The seventh prince was extremely thirsty after running around outside all day and returned to his tent.

"Where have all the maids gone? Hurry up and serve me tea."

Finally, they heard some useful information. Song Miqiu could tell from the beginning that it was someone who was still alive.

I only found out just now that he was a prince.

In the palace, the only one who was young but had a big mouth was the seventh prince.

Song Miqiu didn't understand why the guards had put her in the Seventh Prince's tent after capturing her.

It's best not to act rashly and observe more. At this point, Song Miqiu had already removed the food from her mouth.

It is now possible to make a sound, but Song Miqiu is waiting for the right opportunity.

Then they heard footsteps; it was a maid coming to bring water.

However, the seventh prince soon realized that something was wrong.

The little maid who came to deliver water was trembling; there must be something fishy going on.

The seventh prince was very clever. He took the water but didn't rush to drink it. He first smelled it.

He silently thought to himself, "No, this water doesn't taste right. It's not what I usually drink."

They immediately suspected that someone had tampered with the water.

He glanced at the maid again, then suddenly threw the water cup to the ground.

The young maidservant was not very resilient and was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

The Seventh Prince smiled confidently and then summoned his bodyguards.

The guards' presence immediately boosted their aura, clearly indicating that such a large-scale operation was unnecessary for dealing with a mere maid.

Unfortunately, the seventh prince was young and simply liked this kind of thing.

The seventh prince approached the maid and looked down at her.

"Tell me, what did you put in my water?"

The little maidservant quickly knelt down and kept begging for mercy.

"Seventh Prince, you are really not a servant, you are really not me."

Things took so many unexpected turns that Song Miqiu, trapped in the box, had no idea when she should get out.

All that could be heard was the Seventh Prince kicking the little maid to the ground.

"I doubt you have the guts to do that. If you just tell me the name of the person who instructed you, I, the prince, will spare your life."
