I insist

Chapter 137: Infiltrating the Cold Palace

Hearing what the guard said, Song Miqiu quietly looked up and glanced at him.

She never expected that the guard she encountered tonight would be such a kind-hearted person.

She verbally agreed, and seeing that Song Miqiu readily agreed, the other party assumed that nothing else would go wrong, so they waved to her and let her leave.

Song Miqiu turned to leave, her ears twitching as she heard the other person turn back to their post. She quickly slipped around the corner.

She remembered that there was a back door to the Cold Palace, but she didn't know if it was locked.

Following the route in his memory, Song Miqiu arrived at a desolate place where weeds grew haphazardly and irregularly, and the stone walls were covered with mottled green plants.

Song Miqiu lifted her skirt and leaned closer to the back door to take a closer look, only to find that the back door had been locked.

She lowered her head in frustration, but then turned her head to think carefully. If the back door wasn't locked, there would probably be two guards standing behind it, and she wouldn't be able to get in then.

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu turned her head to look around, trying to find a way to enter the Cold Palace.

She gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands and muttered under her breath, "Even a hole would be nice, then it would be so easy to just crawl right in..."

As she was talking, Song Miqiu suddenly noticed something amiss. She narrowed her eyes slightly, took small steps to the stone wall, and tossed aside the surrounding weeds.

A dog hole appeared before Song Miqiu's eyes.

The latter stiffened slightly as she suddenly remembered what she had just muttered.

Song Miqiu shook his head violently and slapped his thigh in regret. But having a hole was better than having none at all.

She took a deep breath, paused, and made a move to crawl through the dog hole.

But even though he had just knelt down and his hands were already parting the weeds, Song Miqiu hesitated to move.

She stared at the dog hole in front of her, her lips pressed tightly together. She was very hesitant, as if there was a scale weighing on her heart.

Whether to go in or not, they stood on opposite sides of the scale, their weights swaying endlessly.

Song Miqiu never expected that his mere grumbling would actually lead to a dog hole appearing for him to crawl through. His words resurfaced in his mind, and Song Miqiu really wanted to travel back in time and slap himself.

She hesitated for a long time in front of the dog hole before finally deciding to crawl in.

Song Miqiu's face was stern and serious. Fortunately, the dog hole was not small, and she was very thin, so she did not get stuck when she crawled through the dog hole and climbed in smoothly.

"Ouch." Song Miqiu stood up and swept her hair, which was hanging down in front of her chest, behind her back. She bent down and patted the weeds that were stuck to her legs, her eyebrows furrowing into a deep frown.

She patted the weeds while looking around, and then carefully walked forward.

As they approached the entrance to Consort Can's palace, Song Miqiu realized that Consort Can was the only person in the vast Cold Palace at night; everyone else must have left long ago.

Thinking of Consort Can, Song Miqiu felt that since she had already shown Consort Can the condition last time, it must be much better this time.

Song Miqiu was very knowledgeable about ancient medical techniques. He knew that fever was common among ancient people, but he did not know the fundamental methods to treat it.

When Song Miqiu last saw Consort Can, she wanted to cure Consort Can's fever completely to prevent it from recurring, which was quite frightening.

But I never had the time, so I had to give up.

She bypassed countless things before finally reaching the bedside.

Song Miqiu lifted the tent flap and hung the bed curtains on it, letting the moonlight shine onto Consort Can's face.

Seeing the other person's furrowed brows, Song Miqiu subconsciously placed her hand on Consort Can's forehead, but the moment she did, Consort Can was so frightened that she withdrew her hand.

Why is it so hot?

Song Miqiu refused to believe it and placed her hand on Consort Can's neck again, finally confirming it completely.

After their last parting, Song Miqiu thought Consort Can would be feeling better, at least her fever would be gone. But Song Miqiu never expected that Consort Can would have a fever again.

She quickly pulled the blanket halfway back, then Song Miqiu turned to her side, gritted her teeth, and opened the system panel. Looking at the antipyretics and immunity-boosting drugs, she subconsciously glanced at her points.

“5!?” Song Miqiu whispered in disbelief.

Her gaze fell on the fever reducer, and then she looked at the immunity-boosting medication. Song Miqiu hadn't expected the medication to be so expensive.

These five points can accomplish many things.

As Song Miqiu pondered, she went through all the items she could redeem with five points in her mind. She sighed heavily, raised her finger, and reluctantly redeemed the painkillers and immunity-boosting medicine.

She felt she couldn't allow the person to die before she had finished asking all the questions, otherwise all her previous efforts would have been in vain.

She placed the medicine by the bedside. Song Miqiu turned around and looked around. The dark house made her feel very uncomfortable, but she could only rely on her vague memory of having been there once before to find the wooden table.

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed in the room, startling Song Miqiu so much that she stood frozen in place. She turned around to look at the person on the bed.

Seeing that Consort Can had not regained consciousness, Song Miqiu went to the window again. She gently opened the window and peeked out with her beautiful eyes. Seeing that the guards had not come, she returned to the wooden table.

She found the kettle, poured a cup of tea, and tiptoed back to the bedside. She stuffed all the fever reducers and other medicines into Consort Can's mouth, while carefully pouring cold water into her mouth. Her other hand held a handkerchief to Consort Can's left and right sides.

After finally finishing feeding the other person the water, Song Miqiu pushed the other person's chin to close it, while kneading the neck in front of the other person to force them to swallow all the medicine.

With nothing to do and the dog hole waiting for her, Song Miqiu was no longer afraid. She stood quietly beside Consort Can's bed and, while Consort Can was still asleep, opened the system panel.

She saw with her own eyes that the number five in the upper left corner was gone, and Song Miqiu was heartbroken.

The points were already few, and now they're even fewer.

She wanted to get points quickly, but didn't know where to get them.

"Um..."

Hearing the noise, Song Miqiu immediately came to her senses and turned to look at the person on the bed.

The latter turned over on the bed, her eyelashes fluttering. Song Miqiu stood there for a long time, but the other party did not open her eyes.

However, although there might be some reaction, it should be in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake.

The person had already been given fever-reducing medication, and Song Miqiu had no intention of staying here any longer. She got up to leave, but her arm was suddenly grabbed.

She turned around in confusion and saw that Consort Can was holding Song Miqiu's hand tightly. With a sudden pull, Song Miqiu, who was not prepared, was pulled down by Consort Can.
