I insist

Chapter 393: Meeting the Demon Consort

"You sent someone to follow me?"

Faced with Song Miqiu's direct questioning, the Seventh Prince was clearly at a loss and quickly tried to salvage the situation.

"No, I'm afraid you'll be in danger."

Song Miqiu was helpless; the Seventh Prince didn't even think before he lied.

"Afraid I'll get into danger? You didn't even show up when I was in danger."

The seventh prince was clearly flustered and didn't know how to smooth things over.

"You know that my identity cannot be revealed to the public."

Song Miqiu knew this would be the answer, and didn't intend to argue with the Seventh Prince.

"You have nothing else to do, right? If not, then you should leave now."

The Seventh Prince knew that Song Miqiu was unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject.

"It's all that witch's fault for making such a mess."

Song Miqiu didn't understand, partly out of boredom, "What kind of demoness?"

The Seventh Prince was unaware that Song Miqiu was unaware of this matter.

"The Emperor recently took in a woman from outside the palace. Within a few days, she had him completely bewitched, turning the palace into a chaotic mess."

Even if Song Miqiu knew, he wouldn't be interested, since it had nothing to do with him anyway.

"Oh."

Sensing that Song Miqiu was distracted, the Seventh Prince kindly reminded her.

"This witch is incredibly cunning. You should be careful, because she might come after you one day."

Song Miqiu was so tired of hearing it.

"I know."

The Seventh Prince was afraid that Song Miqiu would get tired of him because of this.

"In short, be careful yourself. I'm going back now so the Emperor won't be unable to find me."

Song Miqiu was secretly delighted; he could finally go back.

"Seventh Prince, please be careful on your journey. I won't see you off."

After the Seventh Prince left, Ming Taicheng appeared in front of Song Miqiu.

"What business does the Seventh Prince have with you?"

Song Miqiu didn't elaborate, "It's nothing else. The person who brought me some snacks is right there. Do you want some?"

Mingtai picked up the snack and threw it aside.

"Don't let his things pollute my place."

After finishing his sentence, Ming Taicheng returned to his room to study the medicinal herbs.

Only Song Miqiu was left in the courtyard.

Just then, a young palace maid suddenly appeared at the door, standing arrogantly in front of Song Miqiu.

"You must be Imperial Physician Song Miqiu."

When Song Miqiu's name was called, she looked up and saw a fresh face.

Without thinking much, he casually asked, "Who are you? I've never seen you in the palace before."

Upon hearing the commotion outside, Ming Taicheng immediately went out to investigate.

"what happened?"

Little did the little palace maid know that she didn't take the two of them seriously at all.

He still had that same disdainful look from before. "Our lady specifically requested that you come and take her pulse. Physician Song Miqiu, please come with me."

Song Miqiu looked the young palace maid up and down, and after recalling what the Seventh Prince had said earlier, she boldly guessed in her heart that this palace maid was probably a subordinate of the demoness.

Ming Taicheng naturally knew who had come and stood in front of Song Miqiu, blocking her way.

"I'll go with you."

The palace maid glanced at Ming Taicheng sideways and said, "Who do you think you are? Our mistress didn't call you."

Ming Taicheng was about to say something when Song Miqiu stopped him.

"I'll go, please wait a moment, maid."

Ming Taicheng immediately pulled Song Miqiu aside, "Do you know who she is? The sorceress in the palace is the one she's talking about."

Just as Song Miqiu had guessed.

"I know."

Mingtai exploded in anger, "You know perfectly well why you had to go!"

Song Miqiu naturally considered it in more detail, as this was a major matter concerning his own name.

"Of course I'm going. If this witch really has such great abilities, wouldn't she remember me if I didn't go this time?"

Ming Taicheng sighed, still feeling that Song Miqiu's agreement was too rash.

"If you go like this, won't she remember you?"

Song Miqiu's intuition told her that there was no danger.

Do you think it's better for me to rebel against her, or to go along with her?

Seeing Ming Taicheng's worried expression, Song Miqiu could only patiently comfort him.

"Don't worry, I have no choice but to agree now."

Gradually, Ming Taicheng also accepted it, saying, "You must be careful and never disobey her."

Song Miqiu nodded and walked towards the direction of the little palace maid.

"let's go."

Seeing how easy it was, the young palace maid stopped giving Song Miqiu a hard time.

"Follow me."

The seductive concubine was waiting for Song Miqiu in the palace at that moment.

Looking at her newly done nails, the Demon Consort was already hatching her own little scheme.

The concubine knew that she was given to the emperor by the old eunuch; without the old eunuch, she wouldn't have had this good fortune.

But the concubine knew even better that she was just a pawn in the old eunuch's hands.

The old eunuch valued his stepdaughter Liuli more, and no matter how much the concubine tried to please him, she could not replace Liuli's position.

Not only that, Liuli also repeatedly said, openly and subtly, that the evil concubine rose to power and gained the old eunuch's favor through her body.

They even said that the wicked concubine was just the old eunuch's lackey, and had no value after he was used up.

The wicked concubine had disliked Liuli for a long time, but she couldn't do anything to her because the old eunuch was in the middle.

Now that the wicked concubine has gained the emperor's favor and is able to wield immense power, she naturally cannot tolerate Liuli targeting her every day.

She harbored hatred towards the Glazed Demoness.

A few days ago, the concubine received a secret letter instructing her to eliminate Song Miqiu.

After receiving the letter, the wicked concubine even went to test the old eunuch.

Upon learning that it wasn't the old eunuch who gave it to her, the concubine became angry and furious.

"Anyone dares to order me around!"

The first person the Demon Consort thought of was Liuli, and she had naturally investigated Liuli's relationship with Song Miqiu in secret.

Unexpectedly, Liuli also has a sweetheart. The name Yu Huailin sounds familiar, but she can't remember where she saw him before.

Even the demon concubine knew about Liuli's private meeting with Yu Huailin a few days ago. She knew what Liuli was planning and would get rid of her sooner or later when the time was right.

Not only that, but after learning about the discord between Liuli and Song Miqiu, the demon concubine became even more certain that Liuli wanted to use her to eliminate Song Miqiu.

But precisely because of this, the enchantress refused to let Liuli succeed.

That's why the evil concubine arranged for her subordinates to summon Song Miqiu.

The palace maid quickly led Song Miqiu to the palace of the evil concubine.

Song Miqiu looked around the palace before her, and she really didn't know that there was such a nice place in the palace.

It seems that the concubine held a very high position in the emperor's heart.

"Stop looking, Imperial Physician, please go inside. Our lady is still waiting for you there."

Song Miqiu went inside without arguing.

After entering, the palace maid immediately closed the door. Song Miqiu wondered what awaited her ahead.

Upon hearing the commotion at the door, the demon queen immediately stood up and prepared to go out to greet them.

Naturally, he wanted to make a good impression on Song Miqiu and also wanted to show that his actions were not malicious.
