I insist

Chapter 390: Caught in a Secret Meeting

However, because of the distance, Yan Yufan couldn't hear what the two were saying at all.

She secretly wondered, "What could two lonely men and women possibly talk about?"

I had only been observing for a short while when I saw the two of them stand up and leave.

Little did they know that Yu Huailin had only agreed to go to another place after finding out Liuli's true feelings.

Yan Yufan was furious. "Yu Huailin, you scumbag! You got Song Miqiu's heart, yet you're so fickle."

After watching Yu Huailin and the other person leave, Yan Yufan did not intend to chase after them. Instead, he tried to tell Song Miqiu what he had learned that day.

Yan Yufan then went to Song Miqiu's home.

But when they arrived home, the maid said, "Our mistress is on duty at the palace today. She went to the palace early this morning."

Left with no other choice, Yan Yufan set off again and went to the Imperial Hospital.

Seeing the people coming and going, Yan Yufan did not go in, but instead stood guard at the entrance of the Imperial Hospital.

A short while later, Song Miqiu and Ming Taicheng finished their shift and walked out of the door.

Yan Yufan had met Ming Taicheng once before, so the two did not feel awkward when they met again.

After glancing at Song Miqiu, Yan Yufan hesitated whether or not to say anything.

While hesitating, Song Miqiu realized something was amiss.

"What do you want with me?"

Yan Yufan did not answer.

Song Miqiu then asked, "If there was nothing wrong, you wouldn't have come all the way to the palace, would you? Tell me quickly."

Yan Yufan made up her mind before speaking, "I saw Yu Huailin on a date with a woman at the teahouse today. What do you plan to do?"

Song Miqiu did not react as strongly as Yan Yufan had imagined; she remained quite calm after hearing the news.

"I understand, you can go back now."

After saying that, Song Miqiu wanted to return to the Imperial Hospital as usual.

Ming Taicheng followed closely behind Song Miqiu without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Yan Yufan shouted loudly at Song Miqiu.

"Just tell me what you want, and I'll help you. Don't keep it to yourself."

Only then did Song Miqiu stop walking.

Pressing Yan Yufan, she said, "This is my own business, it's none of your concern."

The two were at an impasse, so it was only then that Ming Taicheng stepped forward to express his opinion.

"I don't think Yu Huailin is that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding in this matter."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Miqiu again, knowing that Song Miqiu was still very vulnerable inside.

"Go back and investigate first. If the Emperor asks about this, I'll be there for you."

Song Miqiu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ming Taicheng gave her a push and handed her over to Yan Yufan.

"You go home first and find out what's going on."

Seeing that neither of them moved, Ming Taicheng became anxious. "Why don't you hurry up and leave? Otherwise you'll be stuck and can only watch helplessly."

Yan Yufan glanced at the signal before pulling Song Miqiu away from the Imperial Hospital.

After getting into the carriage to go home, Song Miqiu slowly came to her senses.

"I don't believe Yu Huailin would betray me and do such a thing."

Yan Yufan listened quietly, not daring to speak and disturb Song Miqiu.

"Go home now."

After hearing Song Miqiu's words, Yan Yufan quickly ordered the coachman to turn around and head towards Song Miqiu's house.

Just as Song Miqiu was leading Yan Yufan home, Yu Huailin also arrived at another place with Liuli.

It was an old, dilapidated house that had long been abandoned, but Yu Huailin was surprised to find that it was actually quite bustling inside.

Liuli walked in with practiced ease, her movements skillful. She turned around and explained to Yu Huailin, who knew nothing about what was going on.

“This is the house my stepfather left me. He did this on purpose to prevent others from discovering what was going on outside. This is the best place to have some private conversations.”

As she spoke, Liuli gestured for Yu Huailin to sit down.

"sit down."

Yu Huailin felt like he had been tricked.

"Tell me what secret you're hiding."

Liuli, on the other hand, was in no hurry. When would she have the chance to be alone with Yu Huailin like this? She should cherish it.

"I will tell you, don't worry."

Song Miqiu has already arrived at home.

After entering the courtyard, he rushed to Yu Huailin's study.

Standing at the door of the study, he hesitated as he was about to open it. Opening the door would signify Song Miqiu's distrust of Huailin.

Even if Yu Huailin did not do anything to wrong Song Miqiu, Song Miqiu would have no way back.

At this moment, the guards standing at the door also noticed the situation on Song Miqiu's side.

They also became wary when they saw that there was another man with Song Miqiu.

The subordinate asked anxiously, "It looks like Madam wants to go into the study to find something. The master said that no one is allowed to enter the study when he is not here. Should we inform the master now, boss?"

How could the head of the guards not know? "Let's observe for a while longer. The lady is so important to the master, we must not act rashly."

The subordinate nodded in understanding.

After a brief struggle, Song Miqiu still chose to open the study door. At this moment, she simply could not tolerate Yu Huailin meeting with other women behind her back.

Yan Yufan followed closely behind Song Miqiu and went inside.

Seeing this, the guard ordered his men, "Quickly go and tell the master that the lady has entered the study."

The subordinates left immediately after receiving the order.

Inside the old house, Liuli was telling Yu Huailin about everything that had happened in the palace, which was also the reason why Liuli wanted to save Qiu Tianlei.

“While you were recruiting soldiers, my stepfather was also busy.”

Yu Huailin exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know about this?"

Seeing Yu Huailin's surprised expression, Liuli calmly replied.

"You and my stepfather are in the same boat, so don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

Hearing this, Yu Huailin allowed Liuli to continue.

“A few months ago, my stepfather found an exceptionally beautiful woman outside the palace and presented her to the emperor as a tribute.”

He then laughed it off.

"That old lecherous emperor has never seen anything like the women outside the palace. Soon, that woman gained the emperor's exclusive favor."

As she spoke, she fiddled with her handkerchief, giving Yu Huailin a provocative look.

Do you know just how much he dotes on you?

He simply asked the question and, without hearing an answer, continued talking on his own.

"That woman reigns supreme in the harem. She doesn't even care about the Empress or the Empress Dowager, let alone the Empress."

He paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"My stepfather didn't tell you because he wanted to wait until things were more mature before telling you."

Yu Huailin listened without saying a word.

Liuli continued, "Now this woman has the Emperor completely under her thumb, and my stepfather also knows that the time is ripe, so he told me about it."

As he spoke, he stared intently at Yu Huailin.

"That's why I'm helping you. I'm not just helping you, I'm also helping my stepfather. You can't afford to make any mistakes at such a crucial time."

Yu Huailin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
