I insist

Chapter 158: Reward

The person next to her recognized Song Miqiu and immediately told her with a smile, "Director Lin was flogged and was just brought back."

They all knew about the feud between Song Miqiu and Lin Yecheng, and they even remembered how Song Miqiu had given Lin Yecheng a hard time in the hall before.

Now that Lin Yecheng has been flogged, all eyes are on Song Miqiu, eager to know his opinion on the matter.

"He got a beating?!"

Song Miqiu exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening in disbelief.

She really didn't expect Lin Yecheng to be punished. Yesterday in the hall, Song Miqiu saw his appearance and felt that he was not daring to act freely in the palace and was working diligently to please the officials, which is why he was able to sit firmly in the position of head of the academy.

Otherwise, given that Lin Yecheng doesn't know many things, yet he can still hold onto that position, Song Miqiu felt somewhat displeased.

Before Song Miqiu could even inquire about the reason why Lin Yecheng had been punished, someone nearby explained it to her.

"It's because Consort Lin wasn't feeling well. Head Physician Lin happened to be at the Imperial Hospital, so he went to Consort Lin's palace to check on her. As a result, he angered Consort Lin and was beaten with many strokes of the cane and sent back to the Imperial Hospital."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu laughed gleefully. She disliked Lin Yecheng to begin with, and she was secretly delighted to hear that he had been beaten.

"How did he anger Consort Lin?" Song Miqiu asked curiously, as if she had just thought of something.

But the other party had only heard about it and didn't know the reason, so they spread their hands with a hint of helplessness.

The imperial physicians who stood with Song Miqiu generally disliked Lin Yecheng, but he always used his power as the head of the academy to suppress them, and then used the name of Consort Lin to suppress them.

Now that Lin Yecheng himself has been beaten by Lin Fei, they are extremely happy to see it.

Thinking of Song Miqiu serving Consort Lin, the imperial physicians exchanged glances, then craned their necks and asked, "Consort Lin treats you well, why don't you go to her palace later and ask her?"

"How can you ask about these things so casually?"

Song Miqiu shook her head repeatedly. She didn't want to upset Consort Lin. If Consort Lin came to her, she would be left with no way to express her suffering.

Disappointment lingered in the eyes of the imperial physicians, but they also agreed with what Song Miqiu had said.

After all, Consort Lin is a very important person. If Song Miqiu also offended Consort Lin, he would definitely be beaten up like Lin Yecheng and sent back.

"If it's not appropriate to ask, then it's best not to ask. Be careful that Consort Lin doesn't become displeased, or that would be a serious matter."

Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians beside him nodded repeatedly. Although they enjoyed listening to gossip, they would rather not pay the price if Song Miqiu were to be flogged.

On the one hand, he couldn't get over it in his own heart, and on the other hand, he knew that Song Miqiu was weak and old and certainly couldn't support it.

Song Miqiu simply smiled at this.

Soon, the imperial physicians began to disperse and return to their posts. Some even carried their medicine kits and were ordered to go to the imperial concubines' palaces to treat their illnesses.

Song Miqiu was also among them, carrying her medicine chest as she walked toward Consort Lin's palace.

She stood at the entrance of the palace and walked in with a smile.

When Song Miqiu saw Consort Lin, she curtsied and said, "Greetings, Consort Lin."

"Have you heard about Lin Yecheng?"

Song Miqiu had just put down her medicine box when she heard what Consort Lin said. She did not hide anything; if Consort Lin wanted to know what had happened at the Imperial Hospital, it would be extremely easy for her.

If she deliberately concealed the truth in front of Consort Lin, then in Consort Lin's eyes, she would definitely be a person who loves to lie.

This was very unfriendly to her.

"I have heard about it, but they say he angered Her Majesty. I was afraid that Her Majesty might have a miscarriage, so I rushed over to check on Her Majesty's health."

"Hmph, you're quite perceptive." Lin Fei smiled and lazily extended her wrist, letting the other person take her pulse, without revealing why Lin Yecheng had angered her.

Song Miqiu didn't ask either.

This realization made Consort Lin admire Song Miqiu even more. She liked people who knew their limits and were very comfortable to be around.

Song Miqiu loosened her grip, and Consort Lin, concerned about her unborn child, quickly asked, "How is my baby?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the baby in your womb is perfectly safe. It seems there has been no miscarriage, and everything is normal!" Song Miqiu said with a smile in her eyes.

These words made Consort Lin laugh inwardly. She liked Song Miqiu's eloquent words and her perfect control of the tone.

At the same time, Song Miqiu remembered something. She lowered her eyes and whispered to Consort Lin about her chance encounter with the Crown Prince yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Consort Lin asked curiously about what happened next.

Seeing this, Song Miqiu was even more certain that the relationship between Consort Lin and the Crown Prince was extraordinary. She chuckled and recounted all the words the Crown Prince had spoken to Consort Lin when he showed concern for her.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has been concerned about Her Majesty's health with me! It seems that Her Majesty and the Crown Prince have a very good relationship."

Consort Lin smiled broadly at Song Miqiu's praise, and she was in a great mood.

She glanced at the dressing table, and finally took a gold hairpin from her head. Consort Lin called Song Miqiu to her side and smiled as she placed the gold hairpin in Song Miqiu's hand.

"Imperial Physician Song, thank you for taking good care of me and the baby in my womb these past few days. This hairpin is a reward from me. Once my child is safely delivered, you will be greatly rewarded!"

As soon as the hairpin was taken out, Song Miqiu's gaze was almost glued to it. She nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Consort Lin's words, "Consort Lin has treated me so well, so I will naturally do my best to complete the task assigned to me!"

"You're such a chatterbox!" Consort Lin scolded with a laugh.

She released her grip on the hairpin, pressed Song Miqiu's hairpin upwards, and urged her to accept it quickly.

Song Miqiu nodded repeatedly, overjoyed. She quickly took a few steps back and bowed to Consort Lin, saying, "Then I thank Your Highness for the gift!"

Consort Lin waved her hand, "Look at you, so unsophisticated!"

Song Miqiu did not refute. Now that the fetus had been confirmed to be safe and normal, Consort Lin was tired, so she asked Song Miqiu to leave.

The latter quickly left, finding a secluded spot to sell the hairpin in the system.

Although hairpins are common, they are very expensive. I wonder how many points they would be worth in the system.

She watched as the hairpin gradually disappeared from her sight. Song Miqiu quickly looked up and stared intently at the changes in the score.

The score increased by ten points from a pitifully small number, and Song Miqiu was so happy she wanted to jump for joy.

Ten points can buy her a lot of things, including a bottle of special heart medicine!

She happily closed the system panel.
