I insist

Chapter 336: Winning Her Heart

"We're still a step too late."

This further confirms that the young eunuch was indeed being used.

This completely cut off all the clues. Song Miqiu felt as if he were being controlled by a powerful dark force, and that he was in the open while they were in the dark, with their every move being monitored.

"Don't worry, Song Miqiu. I, the Seventh Prince, am determined to handle this matter. Even if it takes all my power, I will find the mastermind behind it all."

The Seventh Prince seems to be paying extra attention to my affairs. Could this be a gesture of goodwill towards me?

A fleeting thought crossed Song Miqiu's mind, but she quickly stopped herself. Impossible, how could it be?

"This person is definitely not simple; he was able to use the imperial kitchen to poison me in the palace and kill someone silently."

Song Miqiu analyzed everything she could think of for the Seventh Prince.

The seventh prince agreed wholeheartedly after hearing this.

"Song Miqiu, you should go back first. I'll have my men keep watch here. They'll notify you if there's any movement. Don't overwork yourself."

Song Miqiu really wanted to ask the Seventh Prince why he was paying so much attention to her this time. It was hard not to wonder.

But thinking about the current situation, it seemed inappropriate to ask, so I kept it to myself.

As Song Miqiu walked out of the imperial kitchen, she recalled the incident of drugging him yesterday. Now that the Seventh Prince was involved, what if something happened to him?

System—Search for the antidote.

He quickly took out a pill from the system and placed it in his palm.

He watched as the Seventh Prince, Song Miqiu, who had followed behind, presented the antidote to him.

"what is this?"

The seventh prince was wondering where this thing came from.

Why ask so many questions? You just take what's given to you?

The seventh prince was eager to get anything because of his status.

"I'm asking you what you're going to do with this thing you gave me?"

Song Miqiu did not answer the Seventh Prince's question directly, but mischievously turned away.

"I am an imperial physician, and this is a miraculous medicine that can cure all poisons. Of course, it's meant to protect you. What if you get poisoned too?"

The Seventh Prince looked at the pills in his hand. It seemed that this little girl was quite considerate.

"I see. Then I, the prince, will accept your kind offer."

"I assure you that I will never die and will protect you forever."

The Seventh Prince was very pleased with the pills that Song Miqiu gave him, as it represented that she didn't want him to be in any danger.

He then took a jade pendant from his waist.

That jade pendant is a treasure. It was personally bestowed upon the seventh prince by the emperor when he came of age. There is only one of its kind in the entire world, so it is a valuable and meaningful item for the seventh prince, and he has kept it with him ever since.

Song Miqiu didn't care; a jade pendant was not something easily obtained by a prince.

However, after hearing the Seventh Prince's subordinate tell him about the origin and value of the jade pendant, Song Miqiu was stunned and dared not accept it.

"You should keep it yourself. It's too valuable for a woman like me to accept."

Seeing that Song Miqiu refused to accept the money, the Seventh Prince had to come up with another plan.

Right in front of Song Miqiu, he threw the jade pendant on the ground.

"It seems you're rejecting my things because you find them undesirable."

Being misunderstood like this is truly unfair, Song Miqiu quickly explained.

The seventh prince simply wouldn't listen.

Having no other choice but to accept the offer from the Seventh Prince, Song Miqiu had no option but to comply.

After accepting the jade pendant, the Seventh Prince immediately smiled. Song Miqiu, knowing she had been tricked, pouted and gently patted the Seventh Prince's shoulder.

The Seventh Prince reacted in an extremely exaggerated way, matching Song Miqiu's actions.

This made Song Miqiu burst into laughter.

"Alright, act like a prince now, or others will laugh at you."

Song Miqiu felt that her relationship with the Seventh Prince had suddenly become much closer, and she began to speak more casually.

Putting away her joking demeanor, Song Miqiu took the Seventh Prince's hand.

"Listen carefully, I'm going to teach you some simple medical skills, so be sure to remember them well."

After saying that, he taught the Seventh Prince all the life-saving tips he had learned from Ming Taicheng.

"What I just said could save your life in a critical moment, so be sure to remember it."

The seventh prince nodded earnestly, just like a child.

Seeing that there was nothing else to say and that everything that needed to be said had been said, Song Miqiu prepared to return to the Imperial Hospital to visit Ming Taicheng.

"I'm going now."

She turned around and started walking forward, but her body seemed to be frozen in place. Song Miqiu took several steps but still didn't move.

She thought she had seen a ghost, but when she turned around, she realized that it was the Seventh Prince who had grabbed her clothes, creating that illusion.

Song Miqiu sighed and was about to speak impatiently when she met the Seventh Prince's reluctant gaze.

He immediately softened his tone and added a standard smile, "Seventh Prince, is there anything else you need?"

The seventh prince was a little embarrassed. "I don't think I remembered what you just said. Why don't we go to my residence and explain it to me again?"

As he spoke, his eyes seemed to sparkle as he awaited Song Miqiu's reply.

Song Miqiu finally understood that the Seventh Prince was reluctant to let her go.

But I still have things to take care of at the Imperial Hospital, and it's getting late, so I have to leave whether I want to or not.

"How about this, I'll bring some good food to your place tomorrow, and I won't go today."

Song Miqiu thought to herself, "It feels like I'm talking to my own grandchildren, coaxing a child."

"Since you put it that way, I'll reluctantly agree, for the sake of the delicious food."

It was only with great difficulty that Song Miqiu finally managed to send the Seventh Prince away.

After Song Miqiu left, the Seventh Prince also returned to his residence.

Only then did the guard tell the truth.

"Reporting to the Seventh Prince, I didn't tell the truth while I was guarding Physician Song Miqiu. In fact, it was Consort Li who poisoned Physician Song Miqiu and killed the eunuchs."

The Seventh Prince seemed not to be very surprised by what the guard said, as if he had expected it all along.

“You did a very good job. Things will get complicated if Song Miqiu finds out it was Consort Li.”

The secret guards had been with the Seventh Prince for a long time, so they naturally knew what the Seventh Prince was thinking.

"Seventh Prince, please give me any instructions on what you need me to do next."

The Seventh Prince's eyes changed instantly, becoming fierce and inhuman.

"Since Consort Li dares to do such a vicious thing, then don't blame me for being ruthless. She even dares to try to kill Song Miqiu. Go and teach her a lesson, let her know who she can mess with and who she can't."

Upon receiving the Seventh Prince's order, the guards left the room and disappeared into the night under the moonlight.

At this moment, the Seventh Prince was left alone, staring blankly at the empty room. This was the first time a woman had occupied such a significant place in his heart.

The Seventh Prince had no idea what other changes might occur in the future.
