I insist

Chapter 86: Non-cooperation

Before I could even see clearly, someone grabbed me by the neck.

"Give me the antidote now, or you'll just become a corpse."

Do you think I would carry the antidote on me?

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin's face darkened again, clearly wanting to say something more, when his arm was grabbed.

Because of the previous poison, he immediately withdrew his hand and did not throw the person directly out.

Song Miqiu noticed that he was still maintaining his original distance, and smiled inwardly. Then she looked up at him again.

“If you’re willing to protect me, this distance can actually be controlled, but…”

Given his current state, we still need to find a way to control him.

Just as Song Miqiu had imagined, the person standing by the bed frowned deeply, and finally let out another sigh.

"Untie me now."

"No, you're too good at lying. We need to put you to the test for a while before we talk about it."

Song Miqiu felt his gaze sharpen, as if it could slit her neck in the next moment, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

After a moment's thought, he made a decision and looked into those eyes again.

"Don't worry, it won't take too long."

"That's good."

Finally sensing the change in the air inside the room, Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief and curled up under the covers again to continue searching for things inside.

After a while, she still couldn't find anything useful and let out another sigh.

For now, this is the best we can do. Once we level up, we'll definitely need to find someone to customize a potion.

After thinking it all through, I felt sleepy again, yawned, curled up, and went to sleep.

the next day.

Song Miqiu wanted to wander around the courtyard, but then she overheard the servants chatting.

"I heard that the Crown Prince is going back after he has cured the flood."

"When did you find out this news? I heard from the other ladies in the courtyard that the Crown Prince will be returning to the capital soon."

Back to Beijing?

No wonder they insisted on bringing her into the camp yesterday; it seems they're going to take her with them.

The purpose is even more obvious: either to offer something for free or to protect oneself from being poisoned again.

Thinking of all this, Song Miqiu was even less willing to take Qiu Tianlei and the others to cause trouble, so she turned to look at Yu Huailin beside her.

"Please have someone take good care of them."

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

Yu Huailin was already under restrictions, so how could he agree? Just as he was about to resist, Song Miqiu reached out again and grabbed his arm tightly.

"How about I do you a favor? Or can I trade you something else?"

"let go."

Seeing that servants were bypassing the two, Yu Huailin's expression turned even more unpleasant.

When Song Miqiu saw this, he smiled slightly at the servant and then leaned his shoulder on his.

Those nearby noticed this, and their expressions turned even uglier. They clearly wanted to say something more, but in the end, they only managed to utter a single word: "Okay."

Song Miqiu knew that this was putting him in a difficult position, so she took out an antidote pill from the system and stuffed it into Yu Huailin's arms.

"remuneration."

"Someone's coming."

Upon hearing this, she maintained her previous posture, flashed another smile, and adopted a shy demeanor.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince frowned slightly and was about to say something when he thought of a possibility and looked at the seat next to him again.

"Everyone in the household is saying that I'm going back to the capital. What do you two think?"

"Of course I'll go back with you, after all..."

Song Miqiu knew how she was perceived by the Crown Prince, and a knowing smile appeared on her face before she looked at Yu Huailin beside her.

Everyone frowned at her 'sticky' gaze, but out of respect for the divine physician's identity, they ultimately refrained from speaking out.

With his keen senses, Yu Huailin couldn't miss that hint of disdain. His brows furrowed, but he managed to suppress it and reached out to tidy Song Miqiu's hair.

After this action, several people could no longer resist and immediately looked away.

Song Miqiu felt the touch on her head. She glanced at the other people and saw that they all looked disgusted. She couldn't help but look up at Yu Huailin, who had a malicious smile on his lips.

"That's good. You can leave with me tomorrow. You don't need to bring too much stuff; we can buy more later."

"Yes."

Song Miqiu nodded, and then followed the Crown Prince on his final inspection of the people's conditions in the city.

the next day.

Because of what happened yesterday, Yu Huailin had no way to refuse the other party and was forced to sit in a carriage.

On the way, Song Miqiu wanted to keep her distance from him, but she was worried that people around her would notice something was wrong, so she could only rest her head on his shoulder.

However, the two were not that close, which caused Yu Huailin to instinctively push him away several times.

"release."

"You think this is what I think? So many people are watching."

"you……"

Yu Huailin glanced at the crowd around him, his expression growing increasingly ferocious, but he couldn't push them away. He could only clench his fists and forcefully shift his gaze to the window beside him.

The situation only eased around noon when everyone got off the bus and ate at a nearby restaurant.

But this didn't last long, because of the Crown Prince's gaze, they had to stop and return to Song Miqiu's side.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Master, just order what you need. I'm not picky."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu smiled again, reached out and ordered two of her favorite dishes, then turned her gaze back to the other person who had been too silent.

"You really want to leave?"

"I did all this just to protect myself, to wait until I'm safe..."

Noticing someone approaching, Song Miqiu immediately stopped speaking and looked up at the person standing next to her.

The man was taken aback by their quick reaction. He stood there for a moment, then forced an apologetic smile and hurried away.

"Your Highness, are you going back after all?"

"You still have feelings for that place?"

Upon hearing this question, Song Miqiu frowned slightly, clearly wanting to say something more, when another soft sigh was heard.

"Don't worry too much, we'll be back soon."

"Is that so? I thought I wouldn't go there again. It seems I was overthinking it."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince frowned slightly but said nothing more, turning his gaze back to the sullen Yu Huailin.

This time, the observation took significantly longer, as if something was about to be discovered.

Song Miqiu panicked and couldn't help but grab his arm tightly, making him look at her.

"Just consider it as going along with me? It'll make things easier for you, so you don't have to look so gloomy."

"Make things convenient for me? After all the good deeds you've done, how am I any different from those kinds of people now?"

Of course there are.

Song Miqiu wanted to speak, but noticing the gaze from not far away, she helplessly reached out to block Yu Huailin's view.

"What are you looking at?"

"What can I see? It's you who are right in front of my eyes, so I can't keep looking at you."
