I insist

Chapter 317: Ingested Poison

"It was me who did it, it was me who did it, not my godfather." Liuli saw that she couldn't reason with Huailin. She could only take the blame upon herself.

"Very good, very good." Yu Huailin saw that Liuli admitted that both the old eunuch and Liuli would have to pay the price for their actions today.

"This is highly poisonous. Since you two poisoned it, then you'd better eat it both of you. Which one of you will eat it?"

Yu Huailin opened his palm and placed the pills in front of them, letting them choose. Liuli snatched the pills without hesitation and put them in her mouth.

The old eunuch was terrified and hurriedly tried to pull the glass out of Liuli's mouth, but it had already been swallowed. The old eunuch cried out in alarm.

"Liuli, my silly child, Your Highness, I was wrong, I was wrong. Can you give Liuli the antidote? This old servant is willing to die." The old eunuch thought Liuli was about to die and was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

Liuli, with an air of indifference to life and death, simply sobbed quietly to the side.

Yu Huailin looked at the two of them without feeling any pity.

"Your Highness, I was really wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please release Liuli." The old eunuch collapsed to the ground and could only beg for mercy.

After a long time, the old eunuch, thinking that Liuli was about to die, was filled with remorse. If he died because of him, he would probably never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

But after a long time, Liuli still had no problems.

"Now you know the place Liuli holds in your heart. If you lost Liuli, wouldn't you be heartbroken and willing to go with him? I feel the same way about Song Miqiu." Yu Huailin made no attempt to hide his feelings for her.

Liuli stood up tremblingly and walked to Yu Huailin. Her beautiful face was pale from the fright she had just experienced.

Liuli knelt down and said, "I didn't know that Song Miqiu was so important to Your Highness. Liuli knows she was wrong."

The old eunuch quickly added, "This old servant knows he was wrong."

"Don't worry, Liuli won't die. I gave her a slow-acting poison. As long as you don't do anything outrageous, I will naturally give you the antidote."

The old eunuch and Liuli nodded quickly, indicating that they would never overstep their bounds again.

"Okay, learn from this next time." After saying this, Yu Huailin turned and walked away.

The old eunuch walked to Liuli's side and gently touched her cheek.

"My child, you've suffered so much. Why did you do this to yourself? I would have preferred to suffer instead." The old eunuch looked at Liuli with heartache.

Liuli wiped the sweat from her forehead and forced a smile.

"Godfather, I'm fine. His Highness just said that it's just a slow one, and I won't die."

The old eunuch wiped away his tears, realizing that in the end, it was still Liuli who stayed by his side.

"Good boy, good boy."

The old eunuch deeply regretted involving Liuli. If he had found her a son from a good family, none of this would have happened.

"Liuli, your godfather has chosen a good family for you. Marry well."

Because of this incident, the old eunuch believed that Liuli was better suited to live an ordinary life with an ordinary family, rather than doing dangerous things with them.

"Father, are you not going to accept me? Liuli only loves His Highness. There is absolutely no way she will marry someone else."

The old eunuch said with heartache, "You silly girl, I hope you can live a simpler life. His Highness is destined for great things. He has no feelings for you, so he will definitely not protect you properly."

The old eunuch now clearly understood what kind of person Yu Huailin was: he could do anything for someone he liked, and he could also go to extremes for someone who betrayed him.

"Father, I will not marry anyone. If I cannot marry Your Highness, then I will stay by your side and serve you well." Liuli propped herself up on the stool.

The old eunuch kept shaking his head, feeling that his decision had harmed Liuli and himself.

"Godfather, I'm fine." Liuli knew that the old eunuch was worried about her, but now she had already fallen in love and given her heart away, and there was no way to take it back.

Yu Huailin was in a good mood. He had dealt with the matter concerning the old eunuch Liuli. He felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

"Who goes there?" Song Miqiu shouted at the door.

The man in black rushed into the room, struck Song Miqiu on the neck, and Song Miqiu felt a blackout and fell down. Song Miqiu was immediately stuffed into a sack, and the man in black carried the sack and ran outside.

Just as they stepped out of the gate, they ran into Wang Tianlei and Tian Yumei. Tian Yumei was carrying a bowl of bird's nest, intending to give it to Song Miqiu to drink. However, before they even entered the gate, they saw a black man carrying a sack.

Qiu Tianlei, quick as a flash, shielded Tian Yumei behind him and shouted, "Who goes there? How dare you trespass on my property?"

After Qiu Tianlei finished speaking, he was trembling all over because there was more than one man in black; there were four or five behind him, and they were carrying large machetes. If they swung them even slightly, both of them would be dead.

The men in black didn't take the two men seriously, nor did they intend to kill them; their only goal was to kidnap Song Miqiu.

The man in black only kicked Qiu Tianlei once, and Tian Yumei was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, and didn't even have the strength to help Qiu Tianlei up.

The man in black simply carried Song Miqiu away, leaving Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei trembling and unable to react for a long time.

When Qiu Tianlei realized what was happening, he rushed to the room and found it completely empty.

"Mother, my mother has been kidnapped!" Qiu Tianlei sat on the ground and wailed.

Tian Yumei was still at the door, too frightened to react. Only after hearing Qiu Tianlei's shout did she drag her heavy body inside, where she sat down like a rag doll.

"Husband, husband, we, we need to go and clear customs quickly," Tian Yumei stammered.

"Yes, yes, report to the authorities." Qiu Tianlei tried to stand up, but was too frightened to do so by what had just happened.

Qiu Tianlei stood up briefly, then fell heavily again, trying several times without success. Frustrated, he pounded his feet in frustration.

When Yu Huailin returned and saw the two people in Song Miqiu's room sitting on the floor, he knew something terrible was about to happen.

"What's going on, Qiu Tianlei?" Yu Huailin rushed over and grabbed the shirt around his neck to ask.

Qiu Tianlei was so frightened that he didn't know what to say, and with Yu Huailin holding him tightly, he was even less able to utter a word.

"Mother, Mother..." Qiu Tianlei kept saying this word but didn't say anything useful.

Yu Huailin did not see Song Miqiu in the room and figured that something must have happened to her.

"You better explain clearly, what exactly happened?" Yu Huailin was so anxious that his veins were about to burst.

Qiu Tianlei was so frightened by Yu Huailin's voice that he almost cried. At this moment, Tian Yumei realized what was happening.

"Young Master Yu, when we delivered some things to my mother last night, we saw a lot of men in black in my mother's room."
