I insist

Chapter 551: Buried with the Dead

After the man in black left, the old eunuch stood up, walked to the side, and opened the secret room.

He hunched over and walked step by step toward the stone bed. When he got closer, he discovered that a woman was lying on the stone bed; it was Liuli.

"Liuli, your godfather will avenge you soon. Although I cannot kill Yu Huailin, I can make him suffer. Once Song Miqiu dies, he will be in great pain."

Actually, my godfather also had his own selfish motives. Since you love Yu Huailin, I want him to stay with you forever. Since you're in a coma, I want him to live forever.

The old eunuch looked at Liuli lying on the stone bed and said, word by word.

The reason Liuli was here was entirely because the old eunuch sent people to rescue her. She had been imprisoned in the Cold Palace by Yu Huailin, and soon went mad, and was tortured to the point of barely clinging to life.

The old eunuch didn't want his daughter to be tortured any longer, nor did he want her to die, so he sent someone to rescue her.

He hadn't expected the rescue of Liuli to go smoothly, but things turned out completely differently than he thought; Liuli was rescued without any problems.

After being sent back to the house and treated by many doctors, Liuli was diagnosed with poisoning and would remain in a coma for the rest of her life.

The old eunuch was unwilling to accept this. He both loved and hated Huailin, and now he felt that Huailin's treatment of Liuli must be because of Song Miqiu.

So he blamed everything on Song Miqiu, thinking that if it weren't for her, Yu Huailin wouldn't have acted so ruthlessly and was determined to make her die with Liuli.

"Don't worry, this will be over soon."

The old eunuch reached out and touched Liuli's face, making a very serious promise to her.

After the guards left, Qiu Tianlei didn't rest all night. When Tian Yumei got up, she saw him sitting at the table.

He had intended to rest last night, but all he could think about was poisoning Song Miqiu, which tormented him all night, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

"Why are you up so early? Wait, did you not sleep at all? Weren't you terrified yesterday? Are you feeling better today?"

As Tian Yumei got out of bed, she walked up to Qiu Tianlei and asked him in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tianlei smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Not only has it not gotten better, it has made me even more afraid."

Although that's what he thought, he didn't say it aloud. He didn't want Tian Yumei to worry about it. He simply said, "Don't cook breakfast."

Let's go out and buy something to eat.

Although Tian Yumei didn't know why Qiu Tianlei was acting this way, she still nodded: "Okay, I'll go buy it. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"No, I'll eat whatever you buy."

After Qiu Tianlei finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the man in black from last night and said abruptly, "Come back as soon as you're done shopping. Don't linger outside."

"understood."

Tian Yumei thought that Qiu Tianlei said this to keep his child from going hungry, and that he wasn't worried about her at all.

Tian Yumei went outside and bought some food. The three of them ate well, but Qiu Tianlei had no appetite at all.

After finishing his meal, Qiu Tianlei left with his head down, clutching the medicine bottle the man in black had given him the night before. He desperately wanted to know what it was.

He felt the men in black were watching them, but he still wanted to try. He wanted to know what the drug was, whether there was an antidote, and whether it was fatal.

But just as he stood at the entrance of the clinic, he was suddenly pulled by a strong force.

Qiu Tianlei opened his eyes wide and looked at him. Sure enough, he saw the man in black from last night. He didn't expect him to be so bold as to show up in broad daylight.

"It seems you're not surprised to see me, which means you did it on purpose." The man in black looked at him with a half-smile.

"I just want to know the extent to which this drug harms people. What do you mean by intentional? I have no idea," Qiu Tianlei said calmly.

The man in black didn't believe him at all, and sneered, "I advise you not to do anything futile or unnecessary."

Do as I tell you to do; forget my warning.

After saying that, the man in black disappeared from the spot, leaving only his words echoing in Qiu Tianlei's ears.

Qiu Tianlei returned home anxiously. Upon seeing Tian Yumei, he didn't say a word and immediately threw himself onto the bed.

Tian Yumei didn't pay much attention to it. She called him to have lunch, but he didn't respond after she called him several times. That's when she realized that he had fallen ill.

"Doctor, what's wrong with him? How did it get so serious?" Tian Yumei, who had been staying by his side, asked anxiously.

The doctor took her pulse and said, "Madam, there's no need to worry. It's just a cold. I'll write the prescription now. Just take the medicine and rest well."

"It was just a cold, thank you doctor."

Hearing the doctor's words, Tian Yumei breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Qiu Tianlei; this time, he had truly frightened her.

After the doctor finished writing the prescription, Tian Yumei went to get the medicine and took good care of Qiu Tianlei, but she couldn't get her to swallow the medicine at all.

"Why can't you take this medicine? You need to take it quickly so you can get better," Tian Yumei said, frowning.

Qiu Tianlei opened his eyes, heard her words, and replied calmly, "I will take my medicine properly, don't say any more."

Seeing that he was awake, Tian Yumei handed him the medicine: "Now that you're awake, take your medicine yourself. How did you catch a cold out of nowhere?"

Your body wasn't this fragile before. Did something happen?

Qiu Tianlei didn't answer her question. Instead, he drank the medicine in his hand in one gulp and then handed the bowl to Tian Yumei: "You're overthinking it. Nothing's wrong."

Tian Yumei gave Qiu Tianlei a deep look. Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, she had nothing more to say and simply left with her bowl.

She had just left with the bowl when the man in black appeared in his room.

"Is that all the courage you have? I saw you go to the clinic before, and you were quite brave. How come you caught a cold after I scared you like that?"

"Or are you planning to use the cold to avoid this? You're really overthinking it. I won't let you get away with this." The man in black sat on the stool and looked at Qiu Tianlei.

Qiu Tianlei's heart jumped, but he still said seriously, "You're overthinking it. Since I've already promised you, I will naturally do it."

The man in black nodded: "That's right, perfect timing. Song Miqiu heard you were sick and came all the way from the palace to see you. This is a good opportunity to give her the medicine."

"She left the palace?" Qiu Tianlei immediately became nervous.

The man in black glanced at him calmly: "From what you're saying, you don't want her to appear."

Qiu Tianlei turned his head away and said calmly, "I just didn't expect it. She came right after I got sick, and I haven't even figured out how to get her to take her medicine yet."
