I insist

Chapter 552: Arrested

"You don't need to do anything. Song Miqiu still trusts you. She'll accept anything you give her without hesitation. I'll be here watching over you."

"Watching you personally feed her the medicine," the man in black said with a smile.

Qiu Tianlei wanted to say something, but the man in black disappeared from his sight again. Helpless, he could only frown and wonder what to do.

Song Miqiu had actually been in the palace the whole time, and she only learned about Qiu Tianlei's illness from her secret guards.

"Illness? Why is that?" Song Miqiu asked the guard.

The guard replied, "The doctor said it was a cold, but when Madam Qiu tried to give her the medicine, she couldn't swallow it. I think it might not be as simple as just a cold."

Song Miqiu was very puzzled: "If it were just a cold, it wouldn't be like this. What has happened during this time?"

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's words, the guard recounted the matter that Qiu Tianlei had previously inquired about.

"Just because you haven't noticed doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Maybe that person has discovered you and is deliberately avoiding you. It's best to be careful."

"Stay with me today. I'll go check on him later. If anything happens, now's the best time to intervene."

Song Miqiu narrowed his eyes slightly. The assassination attempt had just occurred, and now Qiu Tianlei was being followed. Although the two events weren't directly related...

But she always felt that the two things must be related, and that they must be related to her.

After giving instructions to her guards, she stood up and went directly to the Imperial Hospital. Ming Taicheng was organizing medicinal herbs at the time, and when he saw her, he showed no respect whatsoever.

"You've arrived. What's wrong? Don't you want to be the Empress anymore? Do you want to continue being the Imperial Physician?" Ming Taicheng asked with a smile.

Song Miqiu chuckled and said, "You're overthinking it. I came to ask you to come with me. It's perfect timing; we haven't gone to the doctor together in a long time."

"This is a great opportunity, how about we go together?"

"With your medical skills, do you really need me to go with you? Who are you going to see?" Ming Taicheng asked, puzzled.

Song Miqiu didn't hide anything: "Qiu Tianlei, I heard he's sick. I'm a little worried, so I was thinking of going to see him. How about it, do you want to come with me?"

Ming Taicheng had already tidied himself up. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "You're really good to them. You're so worried about them even though they're sick."

"Don't you think you can cure his illness? Or do you lack confidence in yourself?"

"I am confident in myself, but I just feel that something is not quite right, so I want you to come with me to take a look."

Seeing that Ming Taicheng had finished packing, Song Miqiu walked out of the Imperial Hospital.

Upon hearing this, Ming Taicheng looked puzzled but didn't say anything. He then followed Song Miqiu to Qiu Tianlei's residence.

At this moment, Tian Yumei was tidying up the house when she saw Song Miqiu arrive. She was very surprised: "Why are you here? With your status, how can you go out so casually?"

The people knew more or less about the assassination attempt, and they knew that the assassins wanted to kill Yu Huailin and Song Miqiu, the current emperor and empress.

"It's nothing. I heard he was sick, so I came to see him. I brought Physician Ming with me, so we can both take a look at him and help him recover faster."

Upon hearing Tian Yumei's words, Song Miqiu's heart softened, and she spoke softly.

Tian Yumei smiled and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you. It's just a cold, but I can't get the medicine to go in, and I'm a little worried."

But he's awake now, able to take his medication, and hasn't fallen unconscious again, so he should be alright.

As she spoke, she led Song Miqiu and Ming Taicheng to Qiu Tianlei's room and pushed the door open.

At this moment, Qiu Tianlei was looking down, his expression inscrutable, his brows furrowed, clearly indicating that he was preoccupied.

Hearing the door open, he turned his head slightly and saw Tian Yumei leading Song Miqiu and Ming Taicheng in.

What the man in black had just said did make Qiu Tianlei nervous, but Song Miqiu didn't come for a long time, so he thought the man in black had said it on purpose.

But to everyone's surprise, Song Miqiu actually came, and she even brought Ming Taicheng with her.

Just as Qiu Tianlei was thinking this, Song Miqiu walked over. Seeing his appearance, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"You suddenly got sick. Weren't you perfectly healthy before?"

Qiu Tianlei snapped out of his daze: "I'm fine, I just caught a bit of a cold, and I was also frightened by the bandit incident. Didn't an assassin appear a while ago?"

I was just scared, it's nothing serious, you don't need to leave the palace.

Song Miqiu sat down on the edge of the bed and said in a serious tone, "Whether something is serious or not is not up to you to decide, but up to me and Physician Ming."

Let me take a look at you first, and then I'll have Physician Ming examine you again.

Qiu Tianlei originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Song Miqiu's serious expression, he couldn't bring himself to say no and could only resign himself to extending his hand.

Song Miqiu took Qiu Tianlei's pulse, which showed that he only had a cold, but she couldn't figure out why he couldn't take the medicine.

She slowly stood up: "Why don't you take a look at him?"

"What did you deduce from the pulse?"

Ming Taicheng didn't stand on ceremony. After she stood up, he sat in the spot she had just been in and took Qiu Tianlei's pulse directly.

"It's just a cold, look how scared you are. You said you couldn't get him to drink the medicine, probably because it's too bitter and he doesn't want to drink it."

"You're overthinking it. It's nothing serious. If you're worried, you can prescribe the medicine, or I can prescribe it and get the herbs from the palace, how about that?"

Ming Taicheng stood up and looked at Song Miqiu, speaking each word clearly.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yumei quickly stopped her, saying, "No need, no need, it's just a cold, I'll get better soon, there's no need to go through all this trouble."

“Indeed, I can recover on my own; there’s no need to bring medicine from the palace to treat me,” Qiu Tianlei said.

Ming Taicheng smiled and said, "You should listen to her. After she heard you were sick, she rushed to the Imperial Hospital and brought me here. She insisted on taking a look at you."

Even the smallest thing you do is a big deal to her.

Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei turned their attention to Song Miqiu. They had always known that she was good to their family, but they hadn't expected her to be this good.

"I was making a mountain out of a molehill. I was worried something had happened to him. Now that he's alright, I'm relieved. Remember to let me know if anything happens in the future."

Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ming Taicheng's words, and then looked at the couple.

Looking at Song Miqiu like this, Qiu Tianlei felt even less inclined to do anything to hurt her. If he did, he felt like he wasn't even human.
