Chapter 335: The Witness Was Murdered

Song Miqiu turned her back to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Looking at the people coming and going, she felt that each of them could be the murderer.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind. Song Miqiu realized that the voice seemed to be calling her.

"Song Miqiu".

Having just experienced such an event, Song Miqiu was in a foul mood and had no time to think about anyone else.

Before even turning around, he was already thinking about getting rid of whoever it was so that they wouldn't bother him.

To his surprise, he turned around and saw the Seventh Prince, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The Seventh Prince treated Song Miqiu very well, and since there was no conflict of interest between them, there was naturally no conflict.

The Seventh Prince called out Song Miqiu's name and came to her.

"I just heard from the palace that Imperial Physician Song Miqiu has returned to the palace. I thought I would stop by the Imperial Hospital to see if the young lady was there. I didn't expect to actually run into her."

The Seventh Prince was so engrossed in his own conversation that he didn't notice the expression on Song Miqiu's face at all.

After finishing speaking, he realized something was wrong. Looking around, he spotted the kitten lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Seeing the half-bowl of rice in Song Miqiu's hand, he instantly understood what had just happened.

He squatted down and reached out to pull Song Miqiu up.

He then helped her to sit down at a table to the side.

The seventh prince had lived in the palace since childhood and had witnessed countless things like this since he was a child, so he was not shocked.

While taking the food from Song Miqiu's hands and putting it aside, he gently comforted her.

"Miss Song, now that you are in this palace, you must try to accept the rules here. After today's incident, you must be wary of everything and everyone, and you cannot trust anyone."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"As long as everyone is safe, that's good. If everyone is safe, we can find out who did such a thing."

Song Miqiu gradually adapted, looking at the Seventh Prince's gentle demeanor.

"The Seventh Prince just said that no one can be trusted. Does that mean that neither you nor I can be easily trusted either?"

Amused by Song Miqiu's words, the Seventh Prince gently tapped her forehead.

"What are you thinking about in your little head?"

Song Miqiu unconsciously smiled, and the tension from before vanished instantly.

"You just stay here at the Imperial Hospital and behave yourself. I will send someone to bring you food and supplies in the next few days. Do not accept anything from anyone else."

Seeing how worried the Seventh Prince was about her, Song Miqiu felt a little more at ease.

That's not all, the Seventh Prince continued.

"I will arrange for people to investigate this matter immediately. I believe we will find out who it is soon, and then I will help you get revenge."

As expected, the Seventh Prince was a man of action. After settling Song Miqiu in and leaving the Imperial Hospital, he immediately sent people to investigate the matter.

News arrived very quickly, before it even got dark.

The people sent out returned to report to the Seventh Prince within a few hours.

The seventh prince looked at them with a serious expression; he didn't want to hear any familiar names from these people.

If someone close to him were to hurt Song Miqiu, he wouldn't know how to explain it to her.

"You found out?"

"Reporting to the Seventh Prince, I have found out the truth."

"Just tell me if this person is someone I know."

"No."

The Seventh Prince was relieved. "That's good."

"Come with me to the Imperial Hospital. I need to find out who this person is with Song Miqiu."

The Seventh Prince secretly led his men to the Imperial Hospital overnight.

Song Miqiu was still awake at this time. Hearing the noise at the door, he immediately ran to open it.

Upon seeing that the person who came was the Seventh Prince, and after looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, he quickly ushered the two into the room.

"So, did you find it?"

Song Miqiu asked as soon as she came up, otherwise the Seventh Prince wouldn't have come over now.

"I found it."

Then the Seventh Prince looked at his subordinate, indicating that he could speak now.

"Reporting to the Seventh Prince, you asked me to find out who poisoned Imperial Physician Song Miqiu at the Imperial Hospital today. I followed the clues and quickly found out that the poisoner was a minor eunuch from the Imperial Kitchen."

"Little eunuch?"

Song Miqiu and the Seventh Prince both began to question it.

"Impossible. A mere eunuch wouldn't have such audacity. Song Miqiu is someone close to the Emperor, and his entry into the palace was permitted by the Emperor."

Song Miqiu and the Seventh Prince had the same idea.

"That's right, there must be someone behind this, and that person wants to kill me."

"It seems that if we want to know who is behind this, we'll have to go and meet this little eunuch in person."

Upon hearing the Seventh Prince's words, Song Miqiu was very grateful that he valued her affairs so much.

"It's too late now, we'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, if we go now, we'll alert everyone in the palace."

The seventh prince stood up, thinking of going back.

"I'll come to see you first thing tomorrow morning. Don't think about anything tonight, just get a good night's sleep, and the truth will come out tomorrow."

Song Miqiu nodded; it seemed this was the only way.

After seeing the Seventh Prince off, Song Miqiu stayed alone in her room, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

She kept thinking about whether or not to tell Yu Huailin about this, but then she thought it wouldn't be good if she caused him trouble.

She didn't know why Yu Huailin hadn't come to see her all day.

As she pondered these thoughts, Song Miqiu drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, the Seventh Prince arrived at the Imperial Hospital with his men.

The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital were so frightened by this scene that they dared not speak.

At this moment, Song Miqiu came out of the room, glanced at the Seventh Prince, gave him a wink, and set off without saying a word.

This scene stunned everyone, and they all speculated about the relationship between Song Miqiu and the Seventh Prince.

Fortunately, the Imperial Kitchen wasn't far from the Imperial Hospital; otherwise, walking there would have definitely caused a sensation.

The Seventh Prince had long since memorized the little eunuch's name, and even remembered clearly where the little eunuch was on duty.

After entering the imperial kitchen, the Seventh Prince took Song Miqiu and headed straight for the place where the little eunuch was.

But there was no sign of the eunuch there.

"This is impossible."

Seeing that something was wrong, Song Miqiu grabbed another person next to him and asked, "Where did the little eunuchs go? Tell me quickly!"

The man, terrified, answered tremblingly, "Reporting to the Seventh Prince, he just had diarrhea and went back to his room to lie down. He asked me to stand here for him for a while."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu sensed something was wrong and hurriedly ordered the man, "Where is his room? Take us there."

As expected, the unexpected happened.

They rushed as fast as they could but still couldn't catch up. When they arrived at the eunuch's room and opened the door, they saw the eunuch lying on the floor.

The seventh prince immediately stepped forward and checked the little eunuch's breathing.

"He's already dead."

But touching the temperature of the young eunuch's body, it was clear that he had only recently died.
