I insist

Chapter 309: Assassination Attack

How are you?

"I'm fine. Go check on Liuli. He's injured."

Seeing that the old eunuch was unharmed, Yu Huailin was reluctant to see Liuli. His affair with Song Miqiu was closely related to Liuli.

The old eunuch noticed Yu Huailin's hesitation and quickly cried, "If it weren't for Liuli, this old servant wouldn't be able to see Your Highness now."

Yu Huailin thought about it and realized it made sense, after all, he was the one who saved the old eunuch.

Liuli's arms were bound with white bandages, and her lips were bloodless as she lay weakly on the bed.

"Your Highness, you've arrived." Liuli tried to get up, but the old eunuch quickly helped her up.

"You're so badly injured, you shouldn't move around so much," the old eunuch said worriedly as he helped her up.

"Godfather, I'm fine, I'll get better."

Turning around, I saw Yu Huailin standing beside me.

"Young master, you've come to see me!" Liuli didn't hold a grudge against Yu Huailin for beating her up last time. Instead, she thought it was Song Miqiu who had sown discord, causing such a gentle and refined young master to take action.

"Are you alright?" Yu Huailin asked coldly.

"It's alright. As long as Godfather is alright, it doesn't matter if Liuli dies."

The old woman heard that Liuli had protected her so well and was so badly injured, and she felt both heartache and guilt.

"Liuli! I'm an old man, please don't save me anymore. Look at you, you're so badly injured, what am I supposed to do?" the old eunuch said, tears streaming down his face.

"Godfather, I'm fine, it's just an arm injury, it's not serious." After saying that, Liuli collapsed weakly.

The old eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern, "Look at you, you still say you're fine, but you have no strength left."

Seeing Liuli injured like this, Yu Huailin felt a pang of sympathy.

"You should rest well. I'll go and invite the imperial physician. She's skilled and will definitely be able to cure you," Yu Huailin said, thinking only of Song Miqiu.

Liuli realized that Yu Huailin was right, and quickly emphasized, "I don't need her to treat me, I'd rather die myself."

Liuli deeply hates Song Miqiu. If it weren't for her existence, Yu Huailin would definitely like her.

The old eunuch knew about Song Miqiu's medical skills. Indeed, aside from being disliked, Song Miqiu's medical skills were arguably better than any other doctor outside the hospital.

"Liuli, what are you doing? Your main priority now is to get better quickly."

"Even if I die, I want her to save me."

Liuli became more and more excited as she spoke, her body trembling with emotion.

"Liuli, how could you be so foolish?" The old eunuch held her conflicted hand.

"Never mind then." Seeing Liuli's insistence, Yu Huailin realized it wasn't really his business anyway; he only cared about the people he wanted to care about.

"Your Highness, please save Liuli!" The old eunuch, seeing Liuli in such pain, quickly knelt down and grabbed Yu Huailin's trouser leg, pleading with him.

Yu Huailin was pulled along by the old eunuch, his brows furrowed in embarrassment. He had already agreed to find a doctor for Liuli, and the best doctor at that. What could he do if she disagreed?

“I told her to ask Song Miqiu to come and help her, but he refused.”

"Your Highness, Liuli is just confused from anger. Now it is a matter of life and death, and her life is of utmost importance."

"I'd rather die than have her come," Liuli said fiercely from the bed.

"Liuli, lie down here for a while. I will go with His Highness to invite Song Miqiu over."

Before Liuli could speak, the old eunuch quickly pulled Yu Huailin towards Song Miqiu's house.

"Miqiu, come out here for a moment, it's urgent," Yu Huailin called from the doorway.

Upon hearing that something important had happened, Song Miqiu quickly opened the door and saw the old eunuch there as well, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?"

"Imperial Physician Song, I have something urgent to attend to. Liuli has just been seriously injured. Could you please take a look at her?"

Song Miqiu said unhappily, "She's sick, why don't you call another doctor? I'm not a fool. I saved an ungrateful person, why would I save someone who bullied me!"

The old eunuch was embarrassed by Song Miqiu's words and thought that Song Miqiu was somewhat heartless.

"Physician Song, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, let alone you, a doctor, who should be saving lives and healing the wounded."

"Hehe, saving lives depends on the person. I, Song Miqiu, would rather not save someone as vicious as Liuli."

The old eunuch was filled with anger: "You are truly heartless and ungrateful. I even thought you would save her."

"There are plenty of doctors on the street, don't try to morally blackmail me." Song Miqiu was furious with the eunuch. Did she deserve to be humiliated by Liuli and the old eunuch?

"you……"

The old eunuch was so angry with Song Miqiu that he was speechless. He never expected that Song Miqiu would be so ruthless and show no mercy whatsoever.

“Miqiu…” Yu Huailin wanted to say something, but then hesitated and stopped.

"What, are you also going to say that I am cold-hearted and heartless? Yu Huailin, don't forget, you and the old eunuch only owe me, not me."

Song Miqiu's eyes reddened as she spoke. She had never offended anyone, yet they had turned around and humiliated her, and then tried to morally blackmail her.

"I, Miqiu, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that," Yu Huailin hurriedly explained, afraid that Song Miqiu would be hurt. He could see that Song Miqiu was both angry and sad, and it pained him to see it.

“You didn’t mean that. Why did you bring me here? Do you know how Liuli humiliated me in the mansion back then?”

Song Miqiu's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.

"Doctor Song, are you truly heartless?" the old eunuch said angrily.

"Yes, Yu Huailin, you still have a conscience. Take the old eunuch and leave quickly. I don't want to see him again."

Yu Huailin looked at the old eunuch with some difficulty, and then looked at Song Miqiu with heartache, making it hard for him to make a decision.

“Miqiu, I…”

"I can understand that you are angry with me, but why are you treating the young master this way?"

At this moment, Song Miqiu really felt that it wasn't just Liu Xiaoyue who was difficult to deal with, but also the old eunuch, whose every word carried the tone of kidnapping and scheming.

"Fine, if you won't leave, I'll leave myself." Song Miqiu pushed away Yu Huailin, who was standing in front of her. Yu Huailin quickly grabbed Song Miqiu, but Song Miqiu pushed him away again. Yu Huailin looked at Song Miqiu with a hurt expression.

"Wherever you go, I'll go. Take me with you!"

"Yu Huailin, stop pretending. Go find your Liuli. You came to me for her sake. Go save her. What are you doing following me?"

Song Miqiu vented all her anger on Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin didn't care; all he wanted right now was to appease Song Miqiu.

“Miqiu, I’ll say it again and again, I have no relation to Liuli. It’s because the old eunuch is old and Liuli is his adopted daughter that he begged me.”

Yu Huailin felt like he had talked himself hoarse, wondering why he couldn't just trust him this once.

"You don't need to tell me about your affairs anymore."
