I insist

Chapter 410: You're Too Greedy

Seemingly having heard her voice and realizing someone was eavesdropping, he dared not mention it again and turned to run away.

Although Song Miqiu hadn't heard everything, he seemed to have guessed something and let out another cold laugh.

She's the kind of person who only goes to the palace when she needs something; if she does enter the palace, there are two possibilities.

First, it's possible she really threw herself at him, but since her gaze was still on Huai Lin, that's out of the question. That leaves only the second possibility: she came in to cause trouble.

As for the target, there's only one person I've recently offended: myself.

Once Song Miqiu understood the matter, the smile on her face disappeared, and she stared intently at the palace where Liuli was.

However, he ended up hurting himself, and there's no possibility of him ever being with Yu Huailin again.

Song Miqiu calmly withdrew her gaze, then looked at herself, her brows, which had just relaxed, furrowing again.

"This is truly a constant source of trouble. If she were to gain power, I fear she would no longer be able to remain in the palace."

If that happens, we won't be able to leave immediately.

After much deliberation, Song Miqiu finally frowned and looked at the seat next to him.

Ming Taicheng noticed her movements and, wondering what else to ask, heard another sigh.

"If possible, please go there for me. I'm afraid that being with her will really anger the Emperor."

"You, as long as it's someone from Liuli's side who calls, just let me go."

Upon hearing this, she finally showed a relieved expression, then turned to look at the seat next to her and lazily slumped onto the table.

However, she was not given a chance to rest at all, and soon she was summoned away by the demon concubine.

"I'll be right back."

"If possible, it would be best to stay there; it would save a lot of trouble."

Song Miqiu naturally understood Ming Taicheng's meaning, nodded, and quickly stepped forward with most of the things.

Meanwhile, the old eunuch who heard that Liuli had been chosen as a concubine dropped the teacup he was holding to the ground.

"How could this happen? They were just looking for Yu Huailin, how did they end up in the palace?"

"Speak!"

The cup lid, which had been on the table, was suddenly thrown at the groom and grabbed.

I never expected it to be like this. My head was hit directly, and I fell to the ground with a scream, begging for mercy.

Seemingly feeling that this was not enough, the coachman, ignoring the pain in his head, kept kowtowing to the old eunuch, hoping to be spared his life.

"Tell me everything you know now, or tomorrow there will be another body in the river that has fallen in at some unknown time."

"Please spare my life, Master!"

The coachman slammed his head on the ground, causing even more blood to flow from his already wounded forehead, but he ignored it and carefully crouched down next to the old eunuch.

"My lord, yesterday Miss was sent back by Young Master Yu. She was worried that you would be angry, so she wanted to go to the palace to hide. I really don't know anything else."

"Are you really just afraid I'll get angry?"

The coachman nodded vigorously, then looked nervously at the eunuch.

Knowing that this person was just that bold and wouldn't lie to him, the old eunuch withdrew his gaze and stared straight at the seat next to him.

He stroked that smooth chin for a long time, then finally lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly.

"Get the car ready, I need to go see Young Master Yu."

"Yes, sir, this...this is it..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other person had already fallen to the ground.

The old eunuch glanced at the other person's appearance, then helplessly looked away and turned to look in the other direction.

Everyone immediately understood what was going on and split into two groups. One group prepared a carriage to take the person to find Yu Huailin, while the other group took the coachman to see a doctor.

The old eunuch quickly ran to the mansion where Yu Huailin was located and kept knocking on the tightly closed door. Soon someone opened it.

"What brings you here? My master has important matters to attend to today. If there are no other important matters, please return."

"Of course I have important business to attend to. Let me in now!"

The old eunuch's face turned even uglier at the thought of his well-raised daughter being devoured by that old emperor.

"Let me in!"

"Wait a moment, we still need to ask our master."

Ignoring the other person's expression, one of the guards quickly entered the room and asked if anyone could come in.

Yu Huailin had more than one subordinate, so he naturally knew what was going on in the palace, and his face was full of mockery.

But upon seeing the other person's appearance, he raised his hand and waved.

Understanding Yu Huailin's meaning, the guard immediately left the study and walked straight outside.

When the old eunuch turned around and came back, he was already sitting in the seat next to him, but his eyes were even colder as he looked at the other person.

"If you don't have anything important to offer, then don't blame me for being impolite."

“Young Master Yu, I know that Liuli has done a lot of excessive things, but she is still young and it was really not intentional. I promise to keep a close eye on her from now on.”

"Now assure me, I don't believe you don't know the real reason she entered the palace."

The old eunuch paused, then looked to the side with an extremely guilty look in his eyes, but then thought of his beloved stepdaughter.

But just as he was about to speak, Yu Huailin suddenly let out a cold snort, interrupting him directly.

"If you won't tell me, then I will. She entered the palace to harm Song Miqiu. Since she's someone who wants to harm me, why should I save her?"

"And you, you're clearly very dissatisfied with this person's rule, but because you're incompetent, you want to cooperate with me and then exploit my weaknesses to control me?"

The old eunuch frowned, clearly wanting to say something else, but Yu Huailin still didn't give him the slightest chance.

"Your selfish motives are quite obvious."

"you……"

"What? You'd better let Liuli behave herself as the Empress inside. If she dares to provoke my people again, don't blame me for being impolite."

The emperor has little in common except for women.

Kill one and send another, whoever is more obedient, and no one will have any objections; they might even applaud.

After all, it's better to be a little more obedient and pragmatic when it comes to those who whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

How could the old eunuch not understand the meaning behind Yu Huailin's words? He was heartbroken by his daughter's recklessness and finally let out a sigh after a long while.

"It seems you've already made a decision."

"If there's nothing else, please leave quickly. I still have a lot of things to take care of."

Seeing Yu Huailin's impatient look, as if he were shooing away mosquitoes and flies, the old eunuch's expression kept changing, but in the end he turned and left.

But as soon as he stepped outside, his cloudy eyes became extremely sharp, as if they could pierce Yu Huailin's lifeline at any moment.

Unfortunately, that's all he can do; doing more would be detrimental to him.
