I insist

Chapter 485: Closing the Door

"Little Seven, your father is in good health. Don't say such things again. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, you might lose your life, do you understand?"

Prince Jing looked at the Seventh Prince with a very serious expression.

The Seventh Prince did not think that Prince Jing had not understood what he meant, but he did not expect that the Prince Jing's first concern would be his own life.

Prince Jing didn't look at the Seventh Prince's expression. He simply took a sip of wine before speaking, "I'm used to being free and want to stay at the border to protect the people."

The Seventh Prince breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Prince Jing's words. To be honest, he didn't want to become Prince Jing's enemy, and he didn't want to hurt him.

Prince Jing knew what the Seventh Prince meant by asking him this question; what he had just said was also what he truly felt.

"You probably don't have time to go to my residence to get the things. I'll have someone go back and get them in a bit, and you can take them back with you. If I have time, I'll come to visit you."

The Seventh Prince poured a cup of wine for Prince Jing and spoke with a smile.

Prince Jing looked at the Seventh Prince with eyes that seemed to see through everything, a smile playing on his lips. He knew that the Seventh Prince's change was entirely due to his words just now.

After taking a sip of wine, King Jing said, "I'll head back now. As you know, my wife just gave birth and hasn't fully recovered yet."

I was a little worried about her, so I left first.

Without waiting for the Seventh Prince's reply, Prince Jing stood up and walked outside.

Watching Prince Jing's retreating figure, the Seventh Prince quickly stood up and said to his back, "Brother, things have been rather unsettled lately, you must be careful."

Prince Jing stopped and glanced at the Seventh Prince, not understanding why he said that, but he didn't ask any further questions in the palace.

Soon, Prince Jing left the palace. He sat in his carriage, his mind filled with the words and actions of the Seventh Prince that he had met earlier that day.

Recalling the Seventh Prince's probing words, Prince Jing couldn't help but sigh: "When did Little Seventh Prince come to have such thoughts? As expected..."

Time really can change a lot.

Just as he was deep in thought, the carriage suddenly stopped, abruptly pulling him out of his reverie.

"Why did the carriage stop? What happened?" Prince Jing asked, frowning slightly.

"Your Highness, someone stopped the carriage. I was afraid of hitting them, so I stopped. Your Highness, are you alright?" the guard asked.

Prince Jing replied, "It's nothing. Who stopped the carriage?"

"King Jing has not returned for so long, and he has not even seen his old friends?"

A voice came from outside the carriage. Prince Jing immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked up. It turned out to be his friend.

“Zheng Shi, why are you blocking the carriage? What if we run into you?” Prince Jing said, frowning.

"Then how can I see King Jing?" Zheng Shi asked with a smile.

King Jing said, "No matter what, we can't take such a risk. It's too dangerous. What if they really do something to you?"

“Alright, it’s not easy to see you, let me treat you to a meal, how about it?” Zheng Shi said to Prince Jing.

Upon hearing this, the smile on King Jing's face immediately vanished, but it quickly returned, this time with a look of deep apology.

"I'm sorry, Zheng Shi, I have to go back to the manor to take care of the children, so I may not be able to agree to your request this time."

Zheng Shi was somewhat disappointed: "Alright, let's get together another day then. You can't refuse me next time."

"Of course," King Jing said with a smile.

After Zheng Shi left, the guards continued to drive back to Prince Jing's residence.

As Prince Jing walked into his residence, he gave the order: "From today onwards, I will close the door to all visitors. If they ask, I will say that I am not feeling well and I will not see anyone."

After meeting two people today, King Jing felt utterly exhausted. He used to be such a naive person; how did he become like this?

Thinking of this, King Jing couldn't help but sigh, but he quickly returned to normal.

Whatever they do is none of his business; right now, all he cares about is his wife and children.

After figuring it out, Prince Jing felt much more at ease. He quickly walked towards the Princess's courtyard, went inside, and inquired about the Princess and the children's condition.

Because Gao Min'er was arrested, Song Miqiu was released from prison.

"This time they deliberately framed Physician Song. I wonder how you plan to handle this matter."

The prefect of Yintian Prefecture personally escorted Song Miqiu to the door and asked softly. Actually, it wasn't that he wanted to ask, but rather that Gao Min'er's identity was not simple either.

Song Miqiu naturally knew that Gao Min'er's identity was not simple, but she was not afraid. Moreover, she knew that this matter was difficult to handle, but she had her own principles.

She said softly, "Sir, I intend to get to the bottom of this matter. I demand that the murderer be severely punished. If this is allowed to go unpunished..."

Does that mean that in the future, anyone with power and influence who makes a mistake will be forgiven?

They don't have to bear any consequences, which is unfair to ordinary people, don't you think?

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's words, Prefect Yintian nodded repeatedly: "You're right. Don't worry, we will definitely punish the murderer severely."

"I have complete trust in Yin Tianfu and you, sir," Song Miqiu said sincerely.

The prefect of Yintian Prefecture nodded slightly, then watched Song Miqiu leave. With her words, he could easily resolve these matters.

As soon as Song Miqiu returned to the mansion, she saw Yu Huailin standing in the courtyard waiting for her with a smile on his face.

"Finally back."

Yu Huailin walked directly to her, hugged her tightly, and whispered something.

Song Miqiu hugged him and said, "You're back. Didn't I tell you before? Going to jail is a regular thing for me. You don't have to be like this."

"As for it, no matter how you look at it, it was an undeserved disaster. Although you're back and it seems like the matter is resolved, I still want to apologize to you."

The person behind this didn't reach Yin Tianfu; you'll just have to bear with it.

Song Miqiu slightly raised her head to look at Yu Huailin and said calmly, "The one who instigated this is Leng Qiulian."

"Yes, I learned it from Gao Min'er. After sending Gao Min'er to Yin Tianfu, I went to see the Prime Minister and warned and threatened him directly."

Yu Huailin hugged Song Miqiu tightly and said in a very calm tone.

Song Miqiu became quite interested in this topic: "You threatened the Prime Minister? Shouldn't it be the Prime Minister threatening you? You were the one who initially sought an alliance with the Prime Minister."

"That's true, but he's not my only choice. Although the others aren't as capable or have as high a position as him, they're all capable of accomplishing what I need to do."

It's just a matter of time. I have plenty of time, so I can take my time. But the Prime Minister is different; he wants his family to continue to prosper.

If he's smart, he'll know that only I can ensure his family's continued prosperity.
