I insist

Chapter 459: Helping Out

“The Seventh Prince is outside,” Yu Huailin said softly, looking at Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu frowned slightly: "What did you say? The Seventh Prince is outside? You saw him?"

"The guards saw him; they said he lingered outside for a long time but wouldn't come in. I think he's probably here to see you. Go and check on him."

"See what he wants from you. I have something to take care of, I'll be right back."

Ever since she learned that the Seventh Prince had partnered with Liuli, Song Miqiu hadn't particularly wanted to see him. However, his initiative to come to her this time made her somewhat puzzled.

After Yu Huailin left, Song Miqiu dressed herself up and pretended to go out.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the Seventh Prince pacing back and forth outside. Hearing the door open, he turned around and smiled when he saw her.

Song Miqiu feigned surprise: "Seventh Prince? What brings you here? Shouldn't you be busy with matters concerning embezzlement?"

"I'm not very smart, so I won't compare myself to my smart brothers. I think they're capable of handling things well, so I'll just stay put."

The Seventh Prince stepped forward, looked at Song Miqiu, and said with a smile.

Looking at the Seventh Prince's smile, Song Miqiu felt it was fake. She hadn't noticed it before, but this time it was especially obvious.

"What brings the Seventh Prince here? Is there something you need?" Song Miqiu asked softly, a flawless smile on her face.

Hearing this, the Seventh Prince finally came to his senses and said with a smile, "I just came to see you, and by the way, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with. I saw you just came out..."

Is there something urgent you need to take care of? Perhaps we can talk as we walk.

If she could, Song Miqiu wouldn't want to be so wary of the Seventh Prince, but she couldn't. She wasn't sure what he was up to, so she had no choice but to refuse.

"No need. Since we're already home, let's talk inside. Please come in."

Song Miqiu directly rejected the Seventh Prince's proposal.

The Seventh Prince did not realize that there was anything wrong with Song Miqiu. He followed her into the main hall, and the two sat facing each other without either of them speaking first.

Song Miqiu looked at the Seventh Prince and softly reminded him, "Didn't the Seventh Prince say he needed my help with something? Tell me, what is it?"

"Here's the thing, I want to know if you can make a drug that simulates pregnancy, and that will actually make you appear pregnant after taking it."

The Seventh Prince said softly.

Song Miqiu was surprised that the Seventh Prince would ask such a question. He probably thought that he didn't know about Liuli's cooperation with him.

"A fake pregnancy? A visible pregnancy? Seventh Prince, this kind of medicine is only for women. Are you planning to use it? Or do you have a confidante?"

Song Miqiu looked at the Seventh Prince with a smile in her eyes and said.

The Seventh Prince looked at Song Miqiu and suddenly said, "Song Miqiu, I'm sorry, I apologize to you."

"Apologize? Seventh Prince, you're acting very strangely today. You're saying things I can't understand. What do you need to apologize to me for? Tell me."

"Because I helped Liuli get out of the palace and saved her life. But I only allied with her to help her in order to live. You can believe me."

The Seventh Prince explained to Song Miqiu somewhat anxiously.

Song Miqiu was momentarily stunned. She never expected that the Seventh Prince would reveal her alliance with Liuli.

The Seventh Prince cautiously looked at Song Miqiu. Seeing that she had no expression on her face and seemed very calm, he suddenly felt relieved.

"So what you just asked for was for Liuli. The reason she was able to come out of the palace alive was because you gave her the drug to fake a pregnancy, right?"

Song Miqiu said very seriously.

The seventh prince lowered his head and said, word by word, "I have no choice. I just want to live. I really have no other way."

"Of all my brothers, no matter which one survives, my fate will be terrible. I'm just trying to save my own life; who wouldn't want to live?"

"Yes, nobody wants to live. I understand what you've done, but I still think we're on different paths and shouldn't work together."

Song Miqiu looked at the Seventh Prince calmly and spoke slowly, word by word.

If she hadn't already known what the Seventh Prince really looked like, she might have been fooled by him, because his appearance was so deceptive.

The Seventh Prince was deeply distressed upon hearing Song Miqiu's words, but he still asked, unwilling to give up, "Then, can you make the pills I mentioned?"

"I don't know. I need to think about it some more. Let's wait and see. Maybe we can figure it out," Song Miqiu said calmly.

The Seventh Prince sensed her perfunctory attitude. He had never been favored by the Emperor since childhood, and it had been very difficult for him to survive. He had suffered a lot. Perhaps the two of them were in different circumstances.

At this moment, the Seventh Prince suddenly understood what Song Miqiu had just said: those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

"Although I can't say that, I really can't find anyone else to help me. Your medical skills are the best, and I believe you can make it."

Although the Seventh Prince did not want Song Miqiu to help him anymore, he could not find a doctor more skilled than her.

Song Miqiu smiled slightly: "Seventh Prince, you don't need to flatter me. My abilities aren't that great. Your demands are too much; I may not be able to meet them."

However, if you want an abortion, perhaps I can help you.

Just as the Seventh Prince was about to say something, he saw Yu Huailin stride over.

Upon seeing the Seventh Prince, Yu Huailin smiled slightly: "Seventh Prince, you are a rare guest indeed. What brings you to our home? Are you here to visit her?"

He deliberately repeated our name, just to see how the Seventh Prince would react.

The Seventh Prince was surprised that Yu Huailin could come and go from Song Miqiu's house so freely. He frowned and said, "This is not your house. You must be mistaken."

Yu Huailin's eyes were filled with hostility. He knew that the Seventh Prince treated Song Miqiu differently, and he felt that the Seventh Prince's visit this time might be to get Song Miqiu to form an alliance with him.

Song Miqiu had very complicated feelings towards the Seventh Prince, and he would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Of course you're right, this is my home. But I may not be able to entertain the Seventh Prince today, as I'm feeling unwell."

Yu Huailin's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was very pale, clearly indicating that he was ill.

Seeing him like this, Song Miqiu quickly stood up, walked to his side, and helped him sit down, saying, "What's wrong? How could this happen? You were fine these past few days."

The Seventh Prince felt uncomfortable upon hearing the words "the past few days," but he continued to stare at Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin as if torturing himself.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, I just feel terrible. Can you take a look at me? You're a doctor, you should know what's wrong with me, right?" Yu Huailin said weakly.
