I insist

Chapter 215: Accidentally Ingesting Croton

"Granny, the Empress Dowager's current predicament must be due to Song Miqiu's carelessness. I heard that Ming Taicheng and Song Miqiu treated the Empress Dowager together, so it's inevitable that the other party would make a mistake!"

Seeing Granny Hua push open the door to the bedroom and go inside, Lin Yecheng quickly followed. He and Granny Hua stood not far away, watching Ming Taicheng administer acupuncture. Lin Yecheng was still angry and kept complaining to Granny Hua about Ming Taicheng in a low voice.

Granny Hua glanced at the other party indifferently. Seeing Lin Yecheng's unwilling expression, she snorted coldly, having already seen through his thoughts.

Having lived in the palace for so many years, what couldn't she see through?

Lin Yecheng is just jealous of Ming Taicheng's current achievements, and now there is a clear opportunity for him to show off, but Ming Taicheng has taken it away.

Granny Hua took in all his little schemes. She just stood there, watching Lin Yecheng talk on and on, too lazy to pay him any attention. In any case, it was all for the Empress Dowager's benefit.

However, Lin Yecheng kept complaining to Granny Hua, but dared not say anything to the person in question, which made Granny Hua look down on Lin Yecheng from the bottom of her heart.

She bent down slightly, fiddling with her skirt as she stood to the side. At the same time, she glanced at Lin Yecheng indifferently, smiled faintly, and stared straight in the direction of the Empress Dowager, clearly not wanting to pay attention to him and wanting to stay away from him.

Lin Yecheng quickly saw through Granny Hua's thoughts. He stood there awkwardly, wanting to say something, but she clearly wasn't giving him the chance.

No matter how much he said, Granny Hua didn't want to listen, so Lin Yecheng didn't continue. He silently shut his mouth, realizing that it was inconvenient to mention such things in front of Granny Hua.

Seeing that Granny Hua was unwilling to pay much attention to him, Ming Taicheng had no choice but to look at Ming Taicheng as he administered acupuncture to the Empress Dowager.

At this moment, Lin Yecheng saw Ming Taicheng take out the silver needles and suddenly look in his direction with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something.

Lin Yecheng was taken aback and immediately looked away.

Granny Hua had been watching Lin Yecheng's every move closely. Seeing his appearance, she found it amusing and chuckled, saying, "Some people, if they don't have any ability, I think it's better for this old servant to refrain from criticizing them in front of others, lest they find out and feel embarrassed."

Lin Yecheng subconsciously looked at Granny Hua, only to see her give him a faint glance. He clearly saw a hint of mockery in Granny Hua's eyes.

This made Lin Yecheng's face flush red. He suddenly thought of Ming Taicheng's eyes just now, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. Ming Taicheng had been accompanying Song Miqiu to treat patients. In addition, given Ming Taicheng's achievements, Lin Yecheng was afraid that the other party would see through something.

He rolled his eyes and was the first to ask, "Imperial Physician Ming, what's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"

Ming Taicheng glanced at the other party indifferently, then coldly lowered his eyes to arrange his silver needles. A hint of displeasure was revealed between his brows. He did not expect that Song Miqiu would let Lin Yecheng follow him so trustingly. He was obviously confused!

Treating the Empress Dowager was no trivial matter, and when Song Miqiu sent Lin Yecheng along to treat her, it was practically like bringing a burden along.

Just now, he did nothing, but talked a lot.

Even if Ming Taicheng didn't hear what Lin Yecheng was saying to Granny Hua at first, he figured it was something that was not good for him, so he didn't bother to care.

But with Granny Hua here, Ming Taicheng calmly replied to Lin Yecheng's question, "It's just that he accidentally ate some croton seeds. He's already vomited it out and just needs to rest for a while."

Seeing this, Granny Hua pretended to walk over. She and Ming Taicheng stood together at the edge of the Empress Dowager's bed, looking at the sleeping Empress Dowager. Granny Hua glanced at Ming Taicheng and then at Lin Yecheng out of the corner of her eye, and said in a low voice, "Since there is nothing else, you two can take your leave first, so as not to disturb the Empress Dowager's peace. If she blames you later, it will be beyond the control of this old servant."

Ming Taicheng nodded slightly first, bowed to Granny Hua, and then turned and strode out the door.

Lin Yecheng wanted to stay here, but then he thought about the relationship between Ming Taicheng and Song Miqiu, and how Ming Taicheng had tried to save Song Miqiu from danger several times earlier.

He glanced at Granny Hua subconsciously and saw that she was staring straight at him with her brows furrowed, probably annoyed that he hadn't left yet.

Lin Yecheng gave Granny Hua a dry laugh and quickly got up and ran towards Ming Taicheng's retreating figure.

The two left Cining Palace in a hurry, presumably because Ming Taicheng was half a head taller than Lin Yecheng, making it very difficult for Lin Yecheng to catch up with him.

"Ming Taicheng!"

Once outside the Cining Palace, Lin Yecheng was too lazy to keep up the act. He shouted loudly at Ming Taicheng's back, and when the other man stopped in his tracks, Lin Yecheng knew that Ming Taicheng must have heard him.

He took a deep breath, feeling a little tired, and strode towards Ming Taicheng. After walking quite a distance, he finally caught up with Ming Taicheng from behind.

Lin Yecheng walked around Ming Taicheng's body and stood in front of him. He looked up at Ming Taicheng and warned him in a cold voice, "I can probably guess what you want to do, but I'm warning you, you'd better not meddle in my business."

Ming Taicheng didn't speak, but just looked at the other person calmly. He knew from the beginning that there was some conflict between Lin Yecheng and Song Miqiu.

But he didn't expect the conflict to be so deep. He could roughly tell from what he had just seen that Song Miqiu's arrest was most likely the work of Lin Yecheng.

When the other party came up to him and warned him, Ming Taicheng was too lazy to talk and ignored Lin Yecheng. He just stared at the other party in annoyance.

Perhaps it was the aura, but Lin Yecheng felt goosebumps all over his body when the other party stared at him like that, as if Ming Taicheng was about to do something to him in the next second.

He frowned at the person in front of him and said irritably, "What are you looking at? Did you even listen to what I just said?"

Lin Yecheng impatiently reached out and forcefully draped his arm over Ming Taicheng's shoulder, staring straight at him with a slight amount of force in his hand.

Ming Taicheng frowned, noticing the increasing force on his shoulder. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and grabbed Lin Yecheng's wrist, which was resting on his shoulder, and applied a little force. Lin Yecheng was in so much pain that he made Ming Taicheng let go.

Seeing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Ming Taicheng's eyes. He had thought Lin Yecheng was so capable that he threatened him like that, but now it seemed that he was nothing special.

However, because Lin Yecheng kept bothering him, Ming Taicheng had no chance to find someone to rescue Song Miqiu. He looked into the distance and saw out of the corner of his eye that Lin Yecheng was about to lash out again, so he just gave a casual reply.
