Chapter 196: Beaten to Death
Chapter 196: Beaten to Death
Can I still have children?
This temptation was extremely strong for Consort Lin.
She now needs to prove to the Emperor that she can really have children and can really give birth to offspring for the royal family, otherwise Consort Lin fears that from this day forward, her palace will be no different from the Cold Palace.
The thought of Consort Can in the Cold Palace made Consort Lin want to laugh.
He had been fighting with Consort Can for a long time, and thought he had caught her red-handed. He thought he had won the Emperor's favor and that he could rest easy now that he was pregnant with the Emperor's child.
The dream was shattered.
She sniffed. Lin Fei admitted that she was indeed very moved when Song Miqiu said those words, but because she had already miscarried, she was disappointed.
Song Miqiu had previously made it clear to her that as long as she was alive, she would never miscarry.
She narrowed her eyes, chuckled lightly, pinched Song Miqiu's cheek and tossed her aside, saying coldly, "How can I trust you?"
"It was you, Song Miqiu, who said that as long as you, Song Miqiu, were there, I wouldn't miscarry, and you made me believe you. I believed you, but what was the result in the end?" Consort Lin recounted everything that happened yesterday, somewhat distraught.
"As a result, I accidentally miscarried. I wanted to ask you to help me save the child in my womb! I sent someone to the Imperial Hospital, but was told that you were not there! Do you know how much I hated you yesterday!"
Song Miqiu knew that it was all her fault, so she lowered her head slightly, not daring to offer any further rebuttal.
Seeing that Consort Lin was unwilling to believe her, Song Miqiu swallowed hard. She had to make Consort Lin believe her.
If you don't believe in yourself, then you're really going to get yourself killed.
She raised her head, met Lin Fei's sorrowful eyes, and said, "I don't want to die."
These four short words were enough to show Song Miqiu's determination, and in Consort Lin's heart, what Song Miqiu had just said might be true.
Thinking of this, Consort Lin asked with a hint of excitement, "Is it really true?!"
"More real than gold!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the palace maid frowned slightly. She could not let Consort Lin believe Song Miqiu's words, otherwise all her efforts would be in vain.
She took a small step forward and retorted in a low voice to Song Miqiu's words, "Your Majesty, Physician Song is talking nonsense. Your Majesty's body has already been rendered infertile by her. If she were to cure you, wouldn't she be even more powerful than the Sage of Medicine?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that Imperial Physician Song is trying to deceive you first! If you believe Imperial Physician Song, once she escapes the palace and flees to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to find her even if you want to bring back her from the execution order!"
These words made Consort Lin fall into deep thought.
Although Song Miqiu's words were very appealing to her, she also found the words of her own palace maid to be quite reasonable.
If Song Miqiu were truly that capable, the Emperor would have been the first to discover it. Why has it been delayed until now, leaving Song Miqiu still an unknown nobody?
Song Miqiu glanced at the palace maid beside her with annoyance. She realized that the other party clearly did not want her to live.
It must have been someone behind the palace maid who gave such an order, presumably already anticipating that I would come looking for Consort Lin today.
To save her life, Song Miqiu nimbly stood up. She looked intently into Consort Lin's eyes and said in a very serious tone, "Your Majesty, you must believe me. Only this humble servant can restore your belly to its original state. You must believe me!"
“Moreover…” Song Miqiu slowly turned his head to look at the palace maid standing to the side.
The latter met Song Miqiu's gaze, and Song Miqiu said coldly, "This person is wicked. He kept stopping me from speaking and wanted to kill me so that I wouldn't treat Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the palace maid panicked instantly. She subconsciously looked at Consort Lin and saw that the other woman was indeed looking at her suspiciously. She quickly took a step back, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed rapidly in Consort Lin's direction. "Your Highness, this servant had no intention of harming you! This servant still wants to serve you!"
Previously, there had been a case of a palace maid betraying her, and since Song Miqiu spoke the truth, Consort Lin quickly chose to believe what Song Miqiu said.
The palace maids were selected later, but there were many people and eyes in the palace, and it was possible that the palace maid next to you was also sent in from another palace.
Song Miqiu had warned him before that he needed to be careful in everything, but he hadn't paid attention to the palace maid beside him.
At the same time, Consort Lin recalled that the palace maid had indeed said something to Song Miqiu, and that she had been trying to persuade her to kill Song Miqiu.
If he were to have Song Miqiu beaten to death, he would have no chance of turning his life around.
Consort Lin gritted her teeth, thinking that if she really beat Song Miqiu to death, her future situation in the palace would definitely plummet.
Moreover, the concubines he had bullied before would surely come looking for him to bully.
Thinking of this, Consort Lin was unwilling and directly agreed to Song Miqiu's words.
She stopped questioning the palace maid, since no evidence had been found yet. Consort Lin frowned and glanced at the palace maid before fixing her gaze on Song Miqiu.
"I'll trust you one last time." Consort Lin took a deep breath and continued, "But you must stay in my palace for the entire time unless you completely cure my illness."
Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief; it was best that he could live.
She stood up, rubbed her knees which were sore from kneeling for too long, and Song Miqiu's face was a little ferocious. She looked up at Consort Lin, strode over to Consort Lin's side, reached out to help her up, and led her to sit down on the wooden stool.
Song Miqiu asked Consort Lin to extend her wrist. Consort Lin was eager to recover and give birth as soon as possible, so she did almost everything Song Miqiu said.
Song Miqiu gently placed her fingers on Consort Lin's body to take her pulse before looking down at her. "Your Majesty, your health can indeed be saved."
Upon hearing this, Consort Lin smiled, her eyes filled with tears, and murmured, "I knew it, I knew I couldn't lose..."
Ever since her miscarriage, Consort Lin had lived in fear ever since she saw the disappointment in the Emperor's eyes. She truly believed that she had no place to survive in the harem and would be bullied back by the concubines she had bullied in the past.
This is the last thing she wanted to see.
She had barely survived in the palace and didn't want to become completely useless because she couldn't have children.
Although he was able to adopt other imperial heirs into his own family, they were still other people's children and it was not easy for them to be of one mind with him!
Consort Lin looked at the palace maid and urged, "Why aren't you hurrying to prepare a room for Imperial Physician Song?!"
The palace maid readily agreed, but as she passed Song Miqiu, she glared at her fiercely, muttered a cold snort, and left. It was truly her mistake not to have dealt with Song Miqiu.
However, there's plenty of time. Since Song Miqiu is living in this palace, she can find another opportunity to deal with him later.
