I insist

Chapter 502: Escape

After returning from the palace, Song Miqiu went straight to find Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin had been anxiously waiting for her at the mansion. When he saw her return, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. As she walked over, he reached out and hugged her.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. I was really worried. If I hadn't promised you, I would have gone to the palace right now," Yu Huailin said earnestly.

Song Miqiu reached out and patted his shoulder: "I'm fine, I can handle this little thing."

Yu Huailin held Song Miqiu tightly, never letting go for a moment, as if they were becoming one with each other's bones and blood.

"Let go of me first, I have something to say."

Song Miqiu wanted to get out of Yu Huailin's arms, but he wouldn't let go. Helpless, she could only struggle to break free.

When Yu Huailin came to his senses, he released her and asked softly, "What do you want to say?"

"I plan to run away, or hide for now, as long as no one else knows where I am," Song Miqiu said.

Yu Huailin frowned slightly: "Who did you encounter during your trip to the palace?"

"Liuli, the poisoning of Princess Jing and her child was all orchestrated by her for my sake. If it weren't for the Seventh Prince, I might not have been able to get out."

Song Miqiu walked to the side and sat down, his face extremely grim.

Yu Huailin was surprised to find that the Seventh Prince was involved here. He asked, "The Seventh Prince? Aren't he and Liuli allies? Why would he save you?"

Song Miqiu told Yu Huailin what the Seventh Prince had said to her.

“I believe the Seventh Prince on this matter; he has no reason to lie about it,” Song Miqiu said softly.

“Who knows if he said that on purpose just to gain your sympathy? Don’t be too trusting,” Yu Huailin offered a different opinion.

Song Miqiu nodded slightly: "I know. The current situation is that I plan to leave the capital temporarily, at least to prevent Liuli from finding me."

Yu Huailin agreed with Song Miqiu's suggestion, nodding repeatedly and saying, "That's good. We don't have time to deal with Liuli all the time right now. We have other things to do."

"Since you also think it's feasible, I'll make the arrangements now. I also need to tell Qiu Tianlei and the others that they can't be left here; it's too dangerous."

After Yu Huailin agreed, Song Miqiu already had a plan in mind for what she would do next.

The next day, Song Miqiu didn't sleep all night and had already packed her things, while Yu Huailin also packed her things.

Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei also got up very early and were somewhat puzzled when they saw Song Miqiu carrying large and small bags.

"Mother, what are you doing? Why are you packing your bags? Are you planning to leave the capital?" Qiu Tianlei asked curiously.

Actually, he was just joking when he said that, but he didn't expect Song Miqiu to actually nod.

“Yes, I’m planning to leave the capital. You should also hurry up and pack your things. Once you’re done, we’ll leave as soon as possible,” Song Miqiu said.

Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They were living a perfectly good life here, so why do they suddenly want to leave?

"Mother, you're not joking, are you? Your clinic is still here, and we're living quite well here, aren't we? Why would you suddenly leave?"

Qiu Tianlei was living a pretty good life in Beijing and had no intention of leaving. He was determined to find out why.

Song Miqiu didn't have much energy to explain to Qiu Tianlei and the others, since even if she did explain, they might not understand, especially since it involved the palace.

"Why are you talking so much? I told you to pack your things, so just pack your things. If you don't want to leave, then stay here by yourself."

"Let's go, Yumei, pack your things, including the children's. As for his, let him pack his own."

Since Song Miqiu had already spoken, Tian Yumei had no choice but to agree. She quickly returned to her courtyard, packed her things, and took care of her two children.

As for the clinic, Song Miqiu had already left a letter for Ming Taicheng, asking him to help take care of the clinic and to leave with his eldest son, daughter-in-law, and children.

Fearing that Liuli would send people to search for him, Yu Huailin even hired people to impersonate several others to confuse the situation.

The concubine had been staying in her palace all this time, and it was impossible for her not to have doubts about the Emperor's favor towards Liuli.

After all, although the Emperor had shown compassion for Liuli before, he had never trusted her to this extent, which was quite unbelievable.

"Could it be that the Emperor is really being controlled by Liuli? Does she really have that much power?" The concubine narrowed her eyes, a hint of doubt in her mind.

Even so, the concubine still felt that this was the most likely possibility, and she hurriedly wanted to find an opportunity to see the emperor to see what was going on.

The concubine had her maids prepare the Emperor's favorite snacks and then went directly to the place where the Emperor was handling matters.

When the chief eunuch saw this, he went in to report it, and he hoped that the emperor could see the concubine, since Liuli was really too unruly.

This is perfect for the Demon Consort to counterbalance her.

The Emperor did indeed meet the demon concubine, but his expression was very indifferent, even somewhat disgusted, a completely different attitude from when he met Liuli.

"You're carrying a prince, why aren't you resting in the palace? What are you doing here? Whatever I want to eat, someone will naturally prepare it."

"I don't need you to deliver it." The Emperor frowned.

The concubine smiled slightly: "This is my heartfelt gift, Your Majesty. Please don't find it offensive. Besides, I've missed Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been spending a lot of time with my sister lately."

He simply didn't have time to visit me, so I had to muster my courage and come to see Your Majesty myself.

The emperor's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "I also have state affairs to attend to, and I cannot stay with you all the time."

"Your Majesty, I know. I only wish to see you to ease my longing. As for anything else, I dare not hope for more."

The concubine lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, and large tears fell one by one.

The emperor couldn't bear to see his beloved concubine shed tears. He didn't care about anything else now, stood up, and walked to the vixen.

He reached out to help her up, held her in his arms, and whispered, "My beloved, don't cry. I'll stay with you tonight, and I'll be with you for the rest of this time."

The concubine leaned against the emperor's chest and felt that when she spoke to him just now, his tone was rather flat, and his voice had no inflection whatsoever.

But the sound this time was almost the same as before.

Thinking of this, the demon concubine sneered: "I didn't expect Liuli to actually have a brain this time, but she's also quite audacious, daring to even control the Emperor."

It seems this incident might be an opportunity for her to fall again.
