I insist

Chapter 95: I Must Agree

Song Miqiu heard everything clearly, but because the people around him couldn't keep an eye on him, he could only pretend he couldn't hear the sounds inside.

But as if to punish her for pretending not to hear, the sound of the whip grew louder and louder, and with each strike, a muffled groan could be heard as it hit flesh.

If we keep fighting like this, people will definitely die.

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu was even more unable to let go of the other party who had been injured because of her.

But because he couldn't reveal his strength, he could only frantically search through the props and finally found a medicine powder that he could use without hurting anyone.

Pretending to take something out of his person, Song Miqiu suddenly waved his hand, splashing all the powder directly onto everyone.

The next instant, everyone was overcome by the strange sensations they felt and could no longer remain still, frantically scratching their backs.

One or two of them covered their backs with wounds, but they still refused to stop.

Song Miqiu paid no attention to it, and instead walked straight into the woodshed and kicked the door open.

"By killing my apprentice like this, are you trying to prevent my medical skills from being passed down, or are you trying to warn me that you, as nobles, can easily take my life?"

"Please don't talk nonsense. I'm doing this for your own good. If the news hadn't spread so quickly today, by the time I found you two, I wouldn't know if you were alive or dead."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu nearly rolled her eyes to the sky.

But when she saw Yu Huailin's disheveled state on the ground, she ultimately did not offer any words of comfort. Instead, she took out the medicine powder she had exchanged from her bosom and sprinkled it on the wound.

The bleeding stopped immediately, which made everyone around stare wide-eyed.

Just as they were contemplating whether to snatch the bottle of medicine, another hand appeared in front of them, causing them to frown involuntarily.

"I only asked you to teach me a lesson, why did it turn out like this?"

"Your Highness?! It's all because this guy is too stubborn and refuses to admit his mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu frowned, wanting to retort directly, when she saw the Crown Prince suddenly lean in.

For some reason, she felt that the emotion hidden in those eyes was disgust, and she subtly took two steps back.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you down."

Yu Huailin didn't say anything, but just stared at the other person with his eyes half open.

The crown prince, however, paid no attention to the gazes. Instead, he raised his head again and looked at the other side with a somewhat indifferent expression.

Sensing something was wrong, Song Miqiu tried to look in the direction of the sound and heard the Crown Prince's voice.

"Does the divine physician know how much effort I expended today?"

"Well, it's all my fault for dragging you down. Why don't I just leave now to avoid causing you any more trouble?"

However, it's definitely impossible to walk like this.

Just as Song Miqiu had said, a cold smile flashed in the other person's eyes, and then he turned his back to look at the other side.

"There is only one way to save them now, and we hope that the miracle doctor can cooperate."

"But I can only treat minor ailments. Can I really be of any help to you?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's lips curled into a slight smile, which widened as he produced a notice.

Upon seeing what was on it, Song Miqiu frowned slightly. She wanted to say something more, but then she felt her arm being lightly touched.

Looking down, he saw that it was Yu Huailin who did it. Before he could ask what was going on, someone wrote the word "help" on his arm.

Although he didn't quite understand, he nodded in the end and then focused on treating the exposed wounds.

If you don't want him to get hurt, you have to agree.

But I have no ability whatsoever, how could I possibly agree to something that would cost me my head?

Just as Song Miqiu was frantically calculating the gains and losses in his mind, his arm was once again tightly grabbed.

“Master is no less capable than anyone else; he is absolutely capable of doing it.”

"Well... I'm not entirely sure either, but I'm willing to give it a try."

Song Miqiu spoke with some hesitation, which made the Crown Prince frown.

Noticing this, Yu Huailin tried to remind her again, but received no response for a long time, which made him even more anxious.

Just as he was about to answer first, a cold laugh suddenly came from above.

"If he doesn't agree, I'll have to hand him over to the gambling den until he pays back ten times the price, and then I'll return him to the divine doctor."

"what!"

Song Miqiu hadn't expected such a threatening method. He stood there dumbfounded, clearly wanting to say something, but in the end, he forced himself to nod.

Having received a satisfactory answer, the Crown Prince was about to turn and leave when Yu Huailin stopped him first.

"If I win, will my master be able to obtain an official position in the palace?"

"Of course, you want to become imperial physicians and stay in the palace. What other ideas do you have?"

When the Crown Prince got to this point, his expression changed slightly, clearly indicating that he wanted to take action, but Yu Huailin shook his head to stop him.

Their eyes met, and Song Miqiu understood his thoughts. Despite her reluctance to back down, she looked up helplessly.

"Your Highness, does this Medical Sage receive any different treatment than others? If he is treated the same as everyone else, then there is no need for a competition, is there?"

"You haven't even won yet, and you already want benefits?"

Although he said that, the crown prince was not dissatisfied; in fact, he even had a slight smile on his face.

They casually mention all the rewards, and then add something even more enticing afterward.

Song Miqiu couldn't figure it out, but Yu Huailin sensed the increase and had an idea in mind. He stood up with difficulty and looked at the Crown Prince.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Song Miqiu understood his meaning and eventually agreed.

"Your Highness, although I have agreed to this matter, I am not familiar with the subject matter and therefore cannot comment..."

"Past questions aren't necessarily bad, but those questions change too much every year, so they might not be of much help to you."

Song Miqiu nodded in understanding, then turned her gaze to Yu Huailin beside her, her heart filled with heartache.

It wasn't because of any other emotion, but simply because all of this stemmed from her.

If you leave the gambling den directly, you won't have to deal with these things at all.

However, upon further reflection, Song Miqiu felt that this was an opportunity to get close to the so-called will.

It's possible that the case could actually be overturned.

After figuring all this out, she looked up again and saw the Crown Prince's strange gaze.

Is there something wrong with the way you're looking at me?

"No one can have weaknesses."

Why do you say that?

When will she expose her weaknesses?

Song Miqiu looked down at Yu Huailin, who had fallen down again due to pain, with a puzzled expression. After a long while, she seemed to understand and poked the other's arm.

There was no response from the other side. Instead, they looked away and coughed lightly, trying to avoid being dragged into the mess.
