I insist

Chapter 429: Prescription

The Emperor could not simply imprison Song Miqiu, after all, there was still one thing she hadn't explained.

"Write down the drug formulas you currently have in development."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Song Miqiu glanced up at him, then lowered her head again.

Those present were somewhat puzzled by the Emperor's words, not understanding what he meant, and could only turn their attention to Song Miqiu.

If this matter is truly that important to the Emperor, then it would be her lifeline, and naturally she cannot reveal it casually.

As expected, Song Miqiu said in a very calm tone, "Your Majesty, this humble subject will not write it."

"Are you trying to threaten me?" the emperor said angrily.

Song Miqiu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, since you intend to imprison me, I must leave behind some things to save my life in order to avoid being killed."

Although everyone knew about this, no one expected her to say it so openly, which surprised everyone.

The Emperor glared at Song Miqiu with resentment. Although he wanted to kill her now, the medicine she had researched was indeed effective.

If he really deals with her here, what should he do next?

There was nothing the Emperor could do but order Song Miqiu to be taken away, without saying what to do with her for the time being.

Liuli originally thought that the crime of harming the emperor would be enough to kill Song Miqiu, but she didn't expect that it would only result in her being imprisoned.

Moreover, judging from the Emperor's demeanor, he wouldn't harm her, so she couldn't bring herself to do it.

When the demon concubine saw Song Miqiu being imprisoned, she had no particular thoughts, because she knew she had something to protect herself.

The Emperor was too exhausted to say anything more, so he simply waved his hand to dismiss the others.

The Demon Consort and Liuli left the palace together.

Liuli's joy was obvious to everyone, no need to hide it.

"My sister seems especially happy today, is there something good?" the demon concubine asked with a smile.

Liuli suppressed her smile and said, "Of course I'm happy that His Majesty is alright, so how could I not be happy, elder sister?"

"Of course I'm happy too, but sister, I must say a few more words. Because the Emperor is not in good health, it's best if you don't disturb him any further."

Those who know understand that the younger sister is worried about the Emperor's health and wants to spend more time with him; those who don't might think she's ill-mannered. What do you think?

The demon queen looked at Liuli with a calm and unhurried voice.

Liuli didn't take the demon concubine's words seriously at all, but she still maintained a polite facade and replied indifferently, "Thank you for reminding me, sister."

The demon concubine naturally knew that Liuli didn't take her words seriously, so she simply didn't say anything more.

When Liuli returned to her palace, she found someone standing inside with their hands behind their back and their back to her.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my palace?"

The man turned to look at Liuli, then slowly removed the human skin mask from his face, revealing himself to be the old eunuch.

Liuli was very surprised to see the old eunuch: "Father, what brings you here?"

"How can I feel at ease leaving you all alone in the palace? Of course I have to check on you."

The old eunuch was always worried about Liuli, so he disguised himself and went into the palace to see her.

Liuli knew her adoptive father's abilities; entering the palace was a piece of cake for him.

"Father, I am so happy that you came to see me."

Liuli smiled and spoke very seriously.

The old eunuch looked at Liuli, his adopted daughter, and felt genuinely sorry for her; he couldn't possibly abandon her.

"I've come today to see you, and also to bring you some help."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another man walked in.

"This is a reclusive, legendary doctor named Wang Jianjun. You can ask him to handle anything you need; don't take any risks yourself."

Liuli sized up the man. She slowly approached him and, sure enough, smelled a medicinal scent on him.

"Father, how does this person's medical skill compare to Song Miqiu's?"

The old woman overheard Liuli's words and couldn't help but sigh. She had long guessed that she wouldn't take her words to heart and was only focused on dealing with Song Miqiu.

"I don't know either. After all, I don't know how good Song Miqiu's medical skills are, but no one has been able to surpass them so far."

The old eunuch spoke very seriously.

Liuli was very happy to hear this, although she didn't know what kind of riddle the Emperor and Song Miqiu were playing.

But she knew that if someone could replace Song Miqiu, she would surely die, and it would be the Emperor himself who would do it; no one could save her.

Seeing Liuli's delighted expression, the old eunuch knew what she was thinking, but he didn't want to say anything more or interfere.

"Alright, I've delivered the person to you. I should leave now; I can't stay in the palace any longer."

The old eunuch gave Liuli a deep look and couldn't help but sigh.

Liuli came to her senses and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Father. You have really helped me a lot this time."

After the old eunuch left, Liuli had already figured out how to make the emperor trust her more and how to execute Song Miqiu.

But she wasn't in a hurry. The emperor was still weak and needed two days to recover.

However, during the two days the emperor was recovering, she did not rest. She would have people make soup for the emperor from time to time, and she also asked Wang Jianjun to add some medicinal herbs to it.

This will help the emperor recover faster.

Sure enough, the emperor recovered in just two days.

When Liuli came to deliver the soup today, the Emperor allowed her to enter his bedchamber.

"Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects."

Liuli, holding the soup, knelt on the ground and spoke softly to the Emperor.

The Emperor's expression softened considerably as he looked at Liuli. He then looked at the things in her hands and said, "These things could have been carried by the palace maids. Why are you carrying them yourself, my beloved concubine?"

"It's better to do some things personally, especially since it concerns His Majesty's health, so I must be even more attentive."

Liuli slowly stood up, a gentle smile on her face.

The Emperor reached out to Liuli: "I'm sorry to trouble you, my beloved consort, but why does the soup you've been sending over these past few days have a medicinal smell? Why is that?"

"Your Majesty is weak after being detoxified, but it's not good to keep taking medicine, as all medicines have some degree of toxicity. So I had someone find a way to put the soup and the medicinal herbs together."

This is a gentle way to nourish Your Majesty's body, and I've even consulted a renowned physician. What does Your Majesty think?

Liuli looked at the Emperor cautiously and asked softly.

"My dear consort is wise to have come up with such a solution. You have worked hard, my dear consort."

"Your Majesty, I am not tired."

"My beloved concubine just mentioned a divine physician? Is he the imperial physician in the palace? Is his skill really that great?"

The Emperor heard about the divine physician mentioned by Liuli, but he knew that among the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, only Song Miqiu had the most skilled medical expertise.
