I insist

Chapter 474: Identity

"Yes, you're right. I'll have someone go in and attend to the Princess Consort right away." Only after hearing Song Miqiu's words did Prince Jing remember this matter.

Upon hearing Prince Jing's words, the maidservant quickly went inside to attend to the princess.

Now Prince Jing was finally relieved. He looked at Song Miqiu and Ming Taicheng and said, "Thank you both for today's events, especially Physician Song."

Please rest assured, I will certainly have a great gift to offer.

Song Miqiu quickly refused: "Your Highness is too kind. I am a doctor, and naturally I should do what a doctor should do. If Your Highness insists on paying for the consultation, then..."

A normal consultation fee is fine; there's no need for a large sum.

She's a person of principle, so naturally she wouldn't overcharge.

Prince Jing was surprised that Song Miqiu refused; he thought she would be very happy.

“Prince Jing, just do as she says. That’s just how she is. You don’t need to feel that the money is not enough,” Ming Taicheng said with a smile.

“Alright, in that case, let’s do as Physician Song says,” Prince Jing said softly.

Song Miqiu nodded slightly: "Your Highness, after the Princess Consort wakes up, remember to spend more time with her. Women are most vulnerable at this time."

She still needs her husband by her side; only then can she feel at ease.

"Thank you for the reminder, Physician Song. I will remember it," said Prince Jing.

"The Princess Consort has given birth smoothly, so I shall take my leave now." Song Miqiu felt that if she continued to take care of the child, Prince Jing would be displeased.

Since the child was born, he barely glanced at him, instead constantly staring into the inner room as if trying to see through the door.

"In that case, I won't see you off any further. Thank you both again for your help," Prince Jing said softly.

Song Miqiu and Ming Taicheng left the Prince Jing's residence together and soon arrived at her residence.

"This is your first time here, isn't it? Come in and have a seat. I have something I'd like to ask you," Song Miqiu invited Ming Taicheng, speaking softly.

Ming Taicheng did not refuse: "Great, I was just about to have a cup of tea here."

The two entered the hall, and Song Miqiu had a pot of fine tea served. Only after seeing Ming Taicheng drink it did she ask him a question.

"Who is this Prince Jing? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

Ming Taicheng put down his teacup and said softly, "He is the child of the Emperor and the princess of the previous dynasty."

"The child of a princess from the previous dynasty?" Song Miqiu was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, the Emperor felt he had been too reckless in the past, so he ordered the death of a princess from the previous dynasty and banished the thirteen-year-old Prince Jing to the border. Prince Jing and his wife were childhood sweethearts."

After his marriage, King Jing had no other women; the two were deeply devoted to each other, envied by all.

While drinking tea, Ming Taicheng recounted the story of Prince Jing and his wife.

After hearing Ming Taicheng's words, Song Miqiu instantly understood why Prince Jing had been so worried about the Princess Consort; the two of them truly cared for each other.

At the same time, Song Miqiu felt that the emperor deserved to die, and that he should die a very painful death.

Ming Taicheng placed the teacup on the table and said softly, "This tea is quite good. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to drink such good tea."

"If you like, how about I have you pack some for you?" Song Miqiu asked with a smile.

"That would be the best."

After Song Miqiu was taken away by the Prince Jing's mansion, Yu Huailin also left the clinic and wandered aimlessly on the street, even wanting to buy some things to give to Song Miqiu.

What he didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes watching him all along.

Leng Qiulian was strolling around out of boredom when she unintentionally saw Yu Huailin and followed him. She saw him buying gold hairpins and pastries to give to women, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Leng Qiulian knew she shouldn't fall for him, but she couldn't control herself. She really wanted to see who the woman she liked was.

Having made up her mind, Leng Qiulian returned directly to the Prime Minister's residence. Even if she wanted to see Song Miqiu for medical treatment, she was too busy at the moment.

She had naturally heard about the matter concerning Princess Jing.

When the maid saw Leng Qiulian's gloomy face, she trembled with fear before placing the prepared snacks on the table.

"Miss, you should eat some snacks quickly, there's still a long time before dinner," the maidservant said.

Leng Qiulian seemed not to hear the maid's words, and instead spoke softly, "Tell me, how can we see a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, the maid was terrified and hurriedly asked, "Miss, where do you feel unwell? I'll go find the family physician right now and have him examine you properly."

After saying this, the maid wanted to leave, but Leng Qiulian stopped her.

"Come back, I'm fine. I just wanted to see what kind of person that young master's sweetheart is. Besides, didn't you say that person is a doctor?"

Leng Qiulian looked up at the maid and said softly.

The maid hadn't expected Leng Qiulian to have this plan. She whispered, "Didn't Miss already give up on that young master? Why do you still want to see his sweetheart?"

"I just want to see what kind of person is good enough for him, otherwise I won't be satisfied."

Leng Qiulian's eyes were full of determination. If he was more capable than her, she would let it go. But if he wasn't, she was determined to snatch Yu Huailin away from her.

Seeing Leng Qiulian's unwilling look, the maid didn't know what to say, since a maid couldn't interfere with her mistress's affairs.

Perhaps wanting to see Song Miqiu sooner, Leng Qiulian deliberately injured herself the next morning and had her maid take her to Song Miqiu's clinic.

When she arrived, she ran into Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin. The two of them were talking about something, and they both had smiles on their faces.

Seeing Leng Qiulian's rather gloomy face, the maidservant took the initiative to speak, "Which one of you is the doctor?"

"I'm."

Song Miqiu walked out directly. She looked at the person who came in, her brows furrowed. People dressed so elegantly should not be in the clinic at all. Her own residence should have a physician.

Yu Huailin also looked over and saw that it was Leng Qiulian. His eyes were calm and his expression did not change at all.

Although Song Miqiu was suspicious, she still asked with a smile, "I wonder if you two have come here to get medicine or to see a doctor?"

Leng Qiulian had always thought that Yu Huailin would find a very outstanding woman, but she was surprised to find that it was an old lady.

She turned her gaze to Yu Huailin and said softly, "Young master, could you help me? My legs aren't feeling well."

Yu Huailin didn't even look at her, treating her as if she were invisible, his eyes fixed on Song Miqiu.

Leng Qiulian was very dissatisfied with this and looked sharply at Song Miqiu.

At this moment, Song Miqiu looked at Yu Huailin and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

Afraid that she would misunderstand, Yu Huailin quickly explained, "We don't really know each other, we've only met once. Please don't say anything that could cause misunderstanding."
