Chapter 224: Execution by Immediate Strike
Chapter 224: Execution by Immediate Strike
Looking into Song Miqiu's eyes, the Empress Dowager felt very uncomfortable. She had never liked Song Miqiu, and she disliked her even more when she learned that the other party had mistakenly given her the food.
They thought that after this incident was over, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have to see Song Miqiu, and that she could be put to death simply because Song Miqiu had mistakenly given her a pill.
But the Empress Dowager never expected that the other party was still alive, and not only was he still alive, but he was also jumping around in front of her!
Watching Song Miqiu's busy figure, the Empress Dowager frowned deeply. She wanted to get up, but Song Miqiu stopped her, saying, "Empress Dowager, you are currently weak and it is not suitable for you to travel. You should lie down and rest for a while."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager snorted. She looked coldly in Song Miqiu's direction and said sarcastically, "As long as I don't get given the wrong medicine by someone, I think I'll be fine!"
The Empress Dowager was furious. Before she received treatment from Song Miqiu, she was only unable to conceive; otherwise, she was perfectly fine.
Now that Song Miqiu has treated me, I'm having problems everywhere. It's as if I can't live without Song Miqiu!
Upon hearing the commotion inside, the Emperor, who was standing outside the bedchamber, immediately abandoned everyone and strode inside. He walked around Song Miqiu to the bedside, bent down to look at the Empress Dowager's tired appearance, and asked, "How are you feeling now?"
"It's not good," the Empress Dowager told the truth.
She is indeed not well, but it's not Song Miqiu's fault, it's Lin Yecheng's. Given her poor health, Lin Yecheng, with his incompetent medical skills, dared to treat her haphazardly, making her feel like she's living a life worse than death.
Thinking about this, the Empress Dowager was so angry she wanted to curse.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was very tired, the Emperor frowned and told everyone to leave quickly, "The Empress Dowager is tired now, you may all leave."
Seeing this, the father-in-law didn't know what to say, so he went to the door to wait.
Seeing this, the crown prince strode up to the eunuch, attempting to peer through him to see what was happening behind him, and asked, "Why hasn't Father come out yet?"
The eunuch was at a loss for words, after all, some of the things the emperor had done were indeed unacceptable.
He gave the Crown Prince an awkward smile. "Now that the Empress Dowager is tired, the Emperor went inside to wait in the back to calm her down before coming out. I wonder why the Crown Prince is suddenly asking about these things?"
The Crown Prince fell silent. He didn't believe these people's nonsense at all. Thinking of what Yu Huailin had shown him before, the Crown Prince's face darkened and he felt a wave of nausea.
Song Miqiu had already left, but she did not leave with the main group.
She stood at the doorway, watching the Crown Prince emerge from Cining Palace. Deliberately, she stopped him, stood before him, and bowed. "Your Highness," she said, "I have something I wish to discuss with you."
Thinking that the Empress Dowager was saved entirely thanks to the man before him, the Crown Prince had to admit the man's medical skills. He looked the man up and down and asked in confusion, "What do you want with me, the Crown Prince?"
Song Miqiu paused for a moment, then told the other party everything on her mind, "The Empress Dowager shouldn't be showing these symptoms. It's just that Lin Yecheng switched the medicine in my medicine box, which led to the current situation."
Now the Crown Prince understood. Song Miqiu had stopped him simply to explain some of the foolish things Lin Yecheng had done.
He nodded and gave Song Miqiu a faint smile. "I understand. I am also very grateful for your information. I will handle Lin Yecheng well, so please rest assured."
Upon learning that Lin Yecheng could be dealt with, Song Miqiu's mood instantly improved. Only then did she understand how Lin Yecheng felt when he knew he could be eliminated.
She never expected it to be so straightforward.
The Crown Prince returned to the Eastern Palace and sent people to the Cining Palace.
A few days later, Lin Yecheng's case was taken over. Song Miqiu heard the news from Yu Huailin.
"Lin Yecheng couldn't withstand the torture and confessed, quickly telling the Emperor everything he had done." Yu Huailin felt secretly pleased when he thought about the miserable state he had witnessed in Lin Yecheng.
"He confessed that he was jealous of you, and then he poisoned the Empress Dowager."
At this point, Song Miqiu fully understood the story that was about to unfold.
The Emperor cherished the Empress Dowager just as much as he cherished the Imperial Seal. Lin Yecheng confessed everything, explaining that in order to frame Song Miqiu, he had actually set his sights entirely on the Empress Dowager.
If the Emperor finds out, he will surely be furious.
While speculating about Lin Yecheng's final fate, she also asked him, "What will be the final outcome for Lin Yecheng?"
Re Huailin looked at Song Miqiu, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and asked her with amusement, "I think you could guess the result anytime, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyao instantly understood that Lin Yecheng was about to be executed.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. Ever since she entered the Imperial Hospital and Lin Yecheng inexplicably ostracized and targeted her, she had felt that Lin Yecheng would have such a day.
It wasn't bad luck on his part; Lin Yecheng brought this upon himself.
Song Miqiu thought about it carefully. If Lin Yecheng was a relatively calm person like him before, and if he was also a bit like Ming Taicheng, calm and reliable, Song Miqiu felt that Lin Yecheng would not have ended up like this.
The thought that Lin Yecheng would soon be executed filled Song Miqiu with a moment of joy; no one would be targeting him for no reason anymore.
She was finally able to thrive in the vast palace and the Imperial Hospital.
Suddenly remembering something, Song Miqiu looked up at Yu Huailin. Seeing that the other was about to leave, Song Miqiu quickly reached out and grabbed Yu Huailin's sleeve. "Where is Lin Yecheng's trusted confidant, Xiao Shi?"
It was only then that Song Miqiu realized that Lin Yecheng wasn't the only one involved in this matter; his partners were also involved.
Yu Huailin paused, then asked in return, "Little Shi?"
He thought about it carefully and told Song Miqiu about Xiao Shi's final fate: "Actually, there's not much difference between him and Lin Yecheng, except that Lin Yecheng died directly, while Xiao Shi was exiled."
In their eyes, exile and death were no different.
Now that they are dead, they have no idea what will happen to their bodies.
But if someone dies during their exile, they will surely be eaten by any stray cats or dogs along the way.
Soon the emperor issued an edict, directly appointing Ming Taicheng as the head of the academy. Previously, Song Miqiu had not received much reward from the emperor due to his carelessness, and his life was no different from usual.
However, what Song Miqiu did in Cining Palace had already spread throughout the entire Imperial Medical Academy. They all admired Song Miqiu very much, because if it were them, they would not have been able to do what Song Miqiu did.
