I insist

Chapter 399: Saving Lives Again

After waiting for the sound of breaking to disappear, he carefully raised his head, knelt on the ground, and cautiously moved inside.

Seeing the shattered pieces on the ground, Granny Hong became even more nervous. She opened her mouth but saw that the Empress Dowager was having trouble breathing, so she immediately got up to pour her some water.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to get angry over such a fellow. Your health is already..."

"What's wrong with my health? I'm perfectly fine!"

Hearing the Empress Dowager's even more furious roar, he immediately shut his mouth and carefully reached out to hand her the full cup of tea.

Watching her drink it, he raised his hand and patted her heaving back repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your health is the most important thing right now."

"His health is the most important thing? Is it still important now? His mind is completely on that vixen, and he won't listen to anything else."

The Empress Dowager spoke in an even colder tone, and after a long pause, she let out a cold snort before looking at the seat beside her.

Knowing that the Empress Dowager was no longer angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and carefully poured a glass of water, handing it to her.

After confirming several times that no one was looking for her behind her, Song Miqiu turned her gaze away and walked straight ahead.

But before they had gone far, they heard a familiar voice coming from a corner.

After glancing around and confirming that she hadn't completely left the Cining Palace, she could only quietly follow the sound and walk forward.

Upon seeing the young eunuch locked up among several people, he frowned, yet he didn't want to just go and intervene.

But just as Song Miqiu was about to step forward, she suddenly remembered what had happened with the Seventh Prince earlier, her brows furrowed again, and after a slight hesitation, she turned and left.

However, after taking only a few steps, he finally stopped because of the little eunuch's pleas for mercy.

Song Miqiu turned her head to look over there and saw that the once handsome young eunuch now had a bruised and swollen face, and sighed once again.

Why do some people always enjoy bullying the weak? Does it really satisfy them?

Seeing the ferocious smiles on their faces, he strode forward and shoved their hands away.

"What are you doing? Bullying the weak?"

"Physician Song, what are you doing here?"

The eunuch nervously released his grip, staring intently ahead, about to say something more, when he heard another voice.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Song Miqiu glanced at the bruised and swollen eunuch out of the corner of his eye, but didn't say anything more. He sighed softly and then looked at the man again.

The group knew she was a favorite of the emperor, so they dared not say anything more and just kept apologizing.

Seeing that Song Miqiu had no reaction, he thought that the other party no longer cared and turned to run away.

But after walking a few steps, he heard the voices of people next to him.

"Stop right there! Who said you could leave?"

"Imperial Physician Song, we were all trying to help him. This kid actually spilled the tea and snacks meant for the Imperial Concubine, and we all got a scolding."

"Yes, if he weren't so clumsy, we wouldn't have thrown him into such a bad mood... into a substandard room to rest."

Knowing that the Empress, who had the worst temper, hadn't finished speaking, Song Miqiu let out another cold laugh.

Sensing danger, the group could only kneel on the ground and beg her to spare their lives.

Seeing that their foreheads were red from kowtowing, Song Miqiu impatiently waved his hand, telling them to leave quickly.

Knowing they had escaped unscathed, the group rushed out without hesitation.

Once the figure had disappeared from sight, he turned his gaze back to the little eunuch in front of him.

Aren't you leaving yet?

"Thank you, sir. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have really been beaten to death this time."

Upon hearing the eunuch's words, Song Miqiu waved his hand, intending to let him leave, when he heard a heavy thud from the side.

She quickly turned her head and saw the little eunuch with a face full of wounds lying helplessly on the ground with his eyes closed.

Helplessly, he squatted down, held the hand for a slight pause, and then pinched the man's philtrum, waking him up in no time.

Knowing that he had been saved, the young eunuch disregarded his injuries and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Song Miqiu.

"Thank you..."

"Don't kowtow yet, or you'll faint again."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch still struggled to his feet, preparing to leave immediately.

But before he had gone far, he became so dizzy that he slid to the ground against the wall.

Because of her concern, Song Miqiu did not leave immediately but followed behind and helped the person up as soon as possible.

"You should be very careful. Your body is too weak. If you don't get better, you could lose your life in just a couple more times."

"But, but how could a lowly eunuch like me afford treatment?"

Even if we had some money, it probably wouldn't be enough to buy any of the medicines.

The eunuch's embarrassed appearance made Song Miqiu feel helpless. Looking at his bruised and swollen face, she still took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and threw it into his arms.

"If you don't have money for treatment, then make fewer mistakes and try not to get beaten up."

"Can……"

The young eunuch opened his mouth with difficulty, but did not say anything more. He just stared at the exquisite medicine bottle in his hand.

Everyone has their own difficulties, and Song Miqiu was unable to help others.

She glanced helplessly at the young eunuch before looking away and patting him hard on the shoulder as encouragement.

But to her surprise, the little eunuch was too weak. With just a few moves, he made her take two steps back and almost fall to the ground.

Looking at the other person's disheveled appearance, Song Miqiu sighed helplessly before turning her gaze away.

"If you really don't understand, then honestly find a senior to learn from, at least you won't make mistakes on such trivial matters."

"But all those seniors want to..."

Song Miqiu didn't want to follow their rules. She glanced at the dim sky above, waved her hand, and was about to leave.

But the little eunuch suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

"This is insubordination. If it were any other master, you wouldn't even get your hands back."

"Please calm down, Lord Song. I... this servant only wanted to thank you."

Seeing the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, Song Miqiu didn't say anything, but simply turned away indifferently and walked out.

By the time he looked up, the person had already walked far away, but seemed to sense his gaze and waved to those behind him.

Staring intently at the figure until it disappeared, the little eunuch finally looked away, lowering his head and remaining motionless for a long time.

"There are still good people in the palace, but really..."

The little eunuch's voice grew softer and softer until he could no longer hear it himself. He simply looked down at the ointment in his hand, which had been opened and was emitting a slightly fragrant aroma.
