I insist

Chapter 219: Heading to the Eastern Palace

She tried to move her body, but it aggravated the whip marks. Song Miqiu gasped, almost bursting into tears from the pain.

Song Miqiu sniffed, a surge of emotion welling up inside her. With trembling hands, she lifted a corner of her clothes and saw a series of hideous, red wounds.

She instinctively wanted to touch the wounds, but the moment her fingertips touched them, Song Miqiu felt a sharp pain and wanted to cry.

She shifted slightly, and seeing that there were no jailers around, Song Miqiu quickly exchanged wound medicine and water from the system panel.

Having been imprisoned in this dungeon for quite some time, and without drinking clean water for a long time, coupled with the inhuman torture she had just endured, Song Miqiu's lips were already very dry and cracked.

The water solved the immediate problem. Song Miqiu first picked up the water and took a few small sips to moisten her throat.

She first lifted her shoes and socks to wash the wound with water. A sharp pain shot through the wound, and she gritted her teeth, trying to suppress the pain and not cry out.

After finally cleaning one wound, Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but cold sweat once again beaded on her forehead.

She carefully applied wound medicine to the wound.

After doing all this, Song Miqiu looked at the other wounds with a sense of despair.

One wound was enough to cause her unbearable pain, not to mention the other wounds on her body that had not been cleaned or treated with wound medicine, which made Song Miqiu feel desperate.

The thought of Yu Huailin made Song Miqiu want to cry again.

Her eyes reddened again, her fingers clutching the porcelain bottle of wound medicine. Looking around, she murmured softly, "Yu Huailin, when are you finally coming..."

She was in so much pain she was about to die.

At the same time, Song Miqiu thought of the Empress Dowager's illness.

In order to teach the Empress Dowager a lesson, Song Miqiu specially chose a very special method, which could not be interrupted throughout the entire treatment process, lest the condition easily reverse.

This was also something Song Miqiu left for herself to save her life. When she heard about the Empress Dowager's character from Ming Taicheng, she was afraid that she would be dealt with by the Empress Dowager, so she specially came up with this method.

Unexpectedly, instead of being dealt with by the Empress Dowager, they were targeted by someone lurking in the shadows.

the other side.

Yu Huailin headed to the East Palace. Just as he was about to enter, he saw a eunuch come out. He frowned, intending to pretend he didn't see the eunuch and go around to find the Crown Prince, but the eunuch stopped him.

"Hey!" The eunuch was furious at Yu Huailin's rude behavior. In the palace, who would dare to treat him like that?

At present, it seems that only Yu Huailin is capable of this.

The eunuch stood at the entrance of the East Palace, glancing sideways at Yu Huailin, and coldly questioned, "Where are you going?"

"Appearing in the Eastern Palace, I must be looking for His Highness the Crown Prince." The situation was urgent, and Yu Huailin didn't want to waste any more time talking to the other party. Usually, the eunuchs and Zhang Jiesheng would deal with him together, and now that time was of the essence, he didn't want to waste any more time on this.

Just as he was about to continue walking, the eunuch stopped him again. "I know you are looking for His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince is busy right now, so it would be best if you didn't disturb him. Why don't you turn back and leave?"

“Father-in-law.” Yu Huailin sighed helplessly, his eyes lowered, and he said helplessly, “I was wrong just now. Please forgive me, I really have something to discuss with the Crown Prince. Please let me in.”

The eunuch wasn't going to fall for Yu Huailin's act. He shook off Yu Huailin's hand and said irritably, "I already said that the Crown Prince has business to attend to. You should go back!"

He was displeased with Yu Huailin's appearance and said sarcastically, "What are you still standing here for? Or do you not understand what I'm saying?"

Yu Huailin knew that the Crown Prince usually only had a short time to attend to his business.

He stood in front of the East Palace gate, and seeing that the eunuch still wanted to drive him away, he said, "I am willing to wait here until the Crown Prince is not busy before going in."

Seeing this, the eunuch didn't know what to say to the other party. He subconsciously rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to stand here and wait, then I can't stop you."

He turned and went inside, but only sat down next to the entrance of the East Palace, clearly intending to remain there to guard the entrance.

The eunuch summoned a servant boy, whispered something in his ear, and then let him leave.

He wanted to tell Zhang Jiesheng everything that had happened to Yu Huailin that day, so that Zhang could figure out how to deal with Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin's eyes darkened, and he tugged at the corners of his lips, knowing that the other party was determined to go against him.

If it were before, he would have definitely spoken up and exchanged a few words with the eunuch, but now the matter is urgent, and Song Miqiu is still in prison. Her health absolutely cannot allow her to suffer too much torture in prison.

Yu Huailin was afraid that if he arrived too late, Song Miqiu might get into trouble in prison.

He took a deep breath and tiptoed toward the door. Seeing that the eunuch hadn't noticed him, he strode inside.

Hearing the noise, the eunuch lazily raised his eyes and looked over. He was frightened by Yu Huailin's appearance. The eunuch really did not expect that Yu Huailin would still dare to stride in after he had already given a warning!

He shouted at Yu Huailin's retreating figure, "Jia Zhen! Stop right there!"

But Yu Huailin seemed not to hear the eunuch's calls and strode towards the place where the Crown Prince usually worked.

Seeing that the other party was completely ignoring him, the eunuch became even more furious. He cried out and ran after Yu Huailin, rolling up his sleeves as he did so.

At the same time, Zhang Jiesheng was dealing with some things when a servant suddenly came up to him and told him everything that had happened at the gate of the East Palace.

"Yu Huailin is here?" Zhang Jiesheng's eyes flickered slightly, indicating that he knew.

He turned and walked towards the Crown Prince's place. Zhang Jiesheng carefully observed Yu Huailin. The fact that he would seek out the Crown Prince at this critical juncture clearly indicated that the matter was extremely urgent.

Although he was currently being blocked at the door by the eunuch, Zhang Jiesheng guessed that the other party would definitely break in. So he went directly to the Crown Prince. If he saw Yu Huailin, he could try to sow discord between them.

Previously, they had been unable to find an opportunity to get rid of Yu Huailin, but now this is a very good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiesheng smiled slightly. He bent his fingers and knocked on the door. Hearing the movement inside, Zhang Jiesheng walked in with a faint smile.

"Zhang Jiesheng? Have you finished what you were doing?" The Crown Prince glanced at the person who came in, and when he saw that it was Zhang Jiesheng, he lowered his head and continued to deal with what he was doing.

"There are some parts of this memorial that I don't quite understand, and I would like to discuss them with Your Highness."
