I insist

Chapter 195: Miscarriage

The thought of the imperial physician dying because of her filled Song Miqiu with guilt. She sighed in frustration, lowered her head, and pinched her brow bone, trying to salvage the situation.

But the imperial physician had already been sentenced to death, and even if she wanted to save him, it was already too late.

As she walked down the street, Song Miqiu's legs trembled at the thought of what might happen later.

Her hands, which hung naturally at her sides, clenched quietly. Song Miqiu silently encouraged herself, knowing she needed to muster all her courage to face what was to come.

She gritted her teeth and made her way to Consort Lin's palace.

Song Miqiu looked up at the plaque that read "Consort Lin's Palace" and was about to go in when two guards suddenly appeared in front of her, grabbed her, and pinned her to the ground.

She panicked and tried to struggle.

But the more Song Miqiu struggled, the stronger the guards became. "Don't move! If you move again, I'll make you regret it!"

"Don't move. Consort Lin is furious right now and has specifically asked us to take you there." The guard seemed quite surprised that Song Miqiu would come to Consort Lin's place. He smiled and glanced at his companion, "It's a matter of life and death, and you're quite brave to come straight here."

Perhaps because of their frequent contact with them before, the guards had a good impression of Song Miqiu.

Although they wanted to let Song Miqiu in directly, not wanting to embarrass her, they had no choice but to act because of the imperial edict issued by Consort Lin.

"Just cooperate with us, and you'll suffer less, won't you?"

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu had no choice but to quiet down.

The intense struggle had already exhausted her, and Song Miqiu knew that a tough battle awaited her, so she decided to conserve her energy.

She stood up as the other party wished, standing between the two guards. One of the guards also carried her medicine chest. They escorted Song Miqiu into the palace.

Consort Lin lay weakly on the bed, leaning against the headboard. Perhaps because the miscarriage was smooth, her originally pale face was flushed with anger.

A sudden commotion arose at the door, and Consort Lin gave her maid a look.

The palace maid went out to take a look and quickly returned to report to Consort Lin, "Two guards brought Imperial Physician Song in."

"Song Miqiu?"

Upon hearing the name, Consort Lin angrily raised her head and looked towards the door. She slammed her long, beautiful fingers heavily on the edge of the bed and coldly shouted, "Bring the person in to me immediately!"

Two guards brought the man in, threw Song Miqiu on the ground, placed the medicine box he had brought aside, and then bowed and left.

Consort Lin glared at the person on the ground, then sat up angrily, pointing at Song Miqiu and shouting, "Song Miqiu! Didn't you say before that you could help me take care of the child in my belly?!"

"I suffered a miscarriage yesterday. Why were you not in the palace? Why were you not in the Imperial Hospital?"

As Lin Fei spoke, she grew angrier and angrier. She braced herself against the bed with one hand and stood up with the other, intending to pounce on Song Miqiu and scratch her face.

Even if Song Miqiu is an old woman, so what? Consort Lin just wants to vent her anger.

In her eyes, if Song Miqiu had been in the palace yesterday, her child would definitely have been saved.

Thinking of the useless imperial physician who examined her pulse yesterday, Consort Lin's anger intensified.

The palace maid stood to the side, watching Song Miqiu lying on the ground in a sorry state. She lowered her head slightly, and from Consort Lin's angle, she couldn't see the expression on her face at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Song left his post without permission, causing Your Majesty to lose your child. He should be severely punished!"

Upon hearing this, Consort Lin subconsciously glanced at the palace maid beside her, but the maid looked completely innocent, so she couldn't say anything.

Seeing that Consort Lin did not blame her, the palace maid became even more enthusiastic. Looking at Song Miqiu sitting on the ground in a disheveled state, she continued, "Your Highness, don't you think this matter is very strange?"

"When you miscarried, Physician Song happened to be on leave and resting at home. But the day after your miscarriage, Physician Song appeared in the palace, rushing over with this medicine box in a great hurry. If he wasn't afraid that you would do something to her, what was he afraid of?"

"Is Her Majesty's miscarriage yesterday related to Imperial Physician Song?"

Lin Fei has been so upset about the miscarriage that she hasn't been able to sleep, and her mental state has deteriorated significantly.

The Emperor, using the excuse that she needed to take good care of her health, almost never came to her place for the next week.

This is fine if it lasts for a week, but what about after a week?

If her own sign isn't flipped up or chosen, wouldn't her momentum, which she's only been building up for a short time, vanish instantly?

Then what's the difference between myself and Consort Can in the Cold Palace?!

Thinking of this, Consort Lin was filled with even greater rage, and she raised her voice, wanting to execute the person.

"Guards, drag Song Miqiu out and beat him to death with clubs!"

The gate to Consort Lin's palace was opened again, and two guards entered, intending to take Song Miqiu away.

Song Miqiu looked up at the two guards and saw a hint of pity in their eyes. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She glanced at the palace maid subconsciously, and seeing that the other woman was eager to kill her, she became wary.

"Your Majesty, there is still room for maneuver in this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Consort Lin narrowed her eyes. She immediately ordered the two guards to stop, got up from the bed, and slowly knelt down in front of Song Miqiu.

Consort Lin grabbed Song Miqiu's chin and said with a cold laugh, "Do you know what you just said? I have already miscarried and lost my child. The imperial physician who came in your place yesterday even said that I have damaged my body and will not be able to have children in the future!"

The words "cannot have children" were a particularly heavy blow to Consort Lin.

In the palace, concubines relied on their ability to bear a son to gain power and position. Now, she could no longer have children.

Even if the palace coveted her beauty, how many years of her youth did she have left?

Once her prime years are over, will the Emperor still like her?

Others have their own children to support them in the harem, while she will not only become a withered flower but also have no one to back her up. At that time, she certainly won't be able to protect the Lin family properly.

The Lin family is currently mostly protected by me. If I gradually lose favor in the future, the Lin family will definitely have a hard time in the court.

Moreover, how could the emperor possibly fall in love with a woman who cannot have children?

Song Miqiu felt sweat slowly beading on her forehead. She was panting and her body was trembling slightly. Song Miqiu raised her eyes and looked directly at Consort Lin. In a trembling voice, she said her opinion, "Your Majesty, I specifically looked at the case file before I came. You are still able to have children. I have a way to help you."
