I insist

Chapter 211: The Murder Plan

Originally, he wanted to get back at his subordinates and save face, but he didn't expect that Song Miqiu, although a royal physician, had a great reputation.

Just as Lin Yecheng said, if he were to provoke them carelessly, and they were to say a few words to the Empress Dowager and others, wouldn't he be finished?

He didn't dare say anything more. Lin Yecheng looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly, asking, "You're not going to back down and are too scared to deal with Song Miqiu, are you?"

"This..." Vice Minister Zhou smiled awkwardly, "I just remembered that that person is no longer under my jurisdiction. If I help him get revenge now, wouldn't that be just wasting my time?"

Vice Minister Zhou dared not linger there for too long and turned to leave quickly.

Lin Yecheng watched Zhou Shilang's departing figure and subconsciously rolled his eyes. He had thought Zhou Shilang could be very bold, but now it seemed he was nothing special.

The thought that no one could deal with Song Miqiu except for the empresses, the crown prince, and the emperor was terrifying.

If Consort Lin hadn't been won over by Song Miqiu, he could have used her connections to get her to help him deal with Song Miqiu. But right now, Consort Lin was counting on Song Miqiu to fully recover her health so she could solidify her position in the harem. Why would she help him deal with Song Miqiu?

The thought of Song Miqiu's carefree antics at the Imperial Hospital filled Lin Yecheng with resentment, and he almost coughed up a mouthful of blood and climbed upwards.

"As expected, none of them are of any use!"

Standing to the side, Xiao Shi looked at Lin Yecheng's appearance. He rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Sir, I have thought of a plan. What do you think?"

"What plan? Tell me!"

Xiao Shi walked up to Lin Yecheng and whispered what he knew to him, "Isn't the Empress Dowager asking Song Miqiu to treat her? Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to smear Song Miqiu's medicine? If the Empress Dowager speaks up, Song Miqiu will surely die!"

Lin Yecheng paused, holding the folded document in his hand. He looked at Xiao Shi with suspicion, then smiled and patted Xiao Shi on the shoulder. "Not bad, you actually came up with such a plan!"

Xiao Shi smiled shyly and scratched his cheek. He bent down repeatedly and said with a smile, "It is my honor to be able to help you solve your problem!"

The other party didn't expect Xiao Shi to be so cooperative.

Lin Yecheng was clearly tempted, after all, if he could get rid of Song Miqiu, he would lose a formidable opponent in the Imperial Hospital.

Heaven knows how annoyed he was seeing Song Miqiu's face every day in the Imperial Hospital!

But Lin Yecheng thought again, if his secret of switching Song Miqiu's medicine were exposed, and it involved the Empress Dowager, wouldn't he be finished?

Furthermore, if Song Miqiu saw that he was being punished by the emperor, he would surely chime in with a few words, and might even take revenge along with his usual resentment.

Wouldn't he be finished then?

Thinking about this, Lin Yecheng began to hesitate again.

He slowly rubbed his chin with his fingers, his eyes filled with hesitation. "But what if it doesn't work? Wouldn't I be the one suffering? No, no."

“My lord, this matter is extremely risky, but the reward is also high. Think about it, although Ming Taicheng is the Sage of Medicine, and his medical skills are in your and Song Miqiu’s hands, he has been the Sage of Medicine for thirty consecutive years, so he certainly has no interest in the position of head of the academy.”

“But Song Miqiu is from an ordinary family. If she had the opportunity to be promoted in the palace, she would definitely keep climbing up the ranks. The closest position to her would be the head of the academy.”

"Furthermore, you and Vice Minister Zhou just mentioned that Song Miqiu's medical skills are superb. If we let her do nothing, won't you eventually have to hand over your position to her?"

Lin Yecheng pondered the matter, while Xiao Shi fanned the flames from the side. Soon, Lin Yecheng agreed to resolve the issue, as he also felt that Song Miqiu needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Okay!" Lin Yecheng had just agreed when he realized that changing the dressing was no ordinary matter, and said in a deep voice, "Then I need to find someone trustworthy to do the dressing change."

He would absolutely not do this himself, which means Lin Yecheng would have to find a trustworthy person to do it.

If the other party is untrustworthy and reveals everything about their relationship, then they will be completely finished.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Shi said in a deep voice, "Sir, why don't I do this?"

"Please take me to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow. When I came to the Imperial Hospital to do things for you before, I saw where Song Miqiu usually keeps her medicine box. I will go and see for myself when I change the medicine!"

"After all, if you were to seek someone else, you wouldn't trust them. Wouldn't it be better to just let me go directly? You'd feel more at ease then, wouldn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yecheng wholeheartedly agreed with the other party's words.

He smiled, reached out and patted Xiao Shi on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Not bad! How come your mind is so sharp today, you've thought of so many things for me."

Xiao Shi scratched the back of his head shyly, and lowered his head in embarrassment at what Lin Yecheng had said.

"What has happened to make you so happy, sir?" Madam Lin chuckled as she walked over upon hearing Lin Yecheng's hearty laughter, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Lin Yecheng's eyes were filled with a smile. Perhaps it was Xiao Shi's idea and Xiao Shi's loyal statement that made Lin Yecheng extremely satisfied, which also made him feel very good.

He looked at his wife, smiled, and waved to Madam Lin, beckoning her over.

Lin Yecheng grasped Madam Lin's hand, rubbed it for a moment, and said with a smile, "I just had some good news! Have someone prepare two bottles of fine wine for me at dinner tonight!"

"Why is my husband so happy?" Madam Lin was somewhat surprised. Lin Yecheng rarely drank alcohol; he usually only drank when celebrating or when he was very happy.

It seems that Lin Yecheng did indeed encounter something happy while she was away.

Lin Yecheng smiled and echoed Madam Lin's words. He rubbed his palms together, but did not explain to Madam Lin why he was so happy.

A glint of anticipation flashed in his eyes. Lin Yecheng waited for Xiao Shi to change the medicine, and then the Empress Dowager got into trouble and punished Song Miqiu directly.

At that time, not only will the Imperial Medical Academy not have to see Song Miqiu, but there will also be no one to compete with them for the position of head of the academy.

After Madam Lin left, the smile on Lin Yecheng's face gradually faded. He glanced at his wife's departing figure and whispered to Xiao Shi, "When you go to switch the medicine, make sure no one finds out!"

If others discover that Xiao Shi switched the medication, he will also be implicated.

"If I am discovered, you can simply say you know nothing about it!"
