Chapter 153: Losing His Official Position

Song Miqiu was somewhat puzzled by what the chief eunuch had said.

What does the high-ranking official's sudden fainting have to do with her? Why drag her into this?

She blinked in bewilderment, not realizing when she had gotten involved in other things.

She hadn't even finished dealing with the matter of Consort Lin and Consort Can when another problem arose.

The two stood at the door of the Imperial Study. The chief eunuch pushed the door open first. He glanced at Song Miqiu, and perhaps because the other party had given him a bottle of medicine earlier, his tone was much better.

"You can't treat the Emperor the same way you treat Lin Yecheng."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu awkwardly laughed and scratched the back of his head.

She probably guessed that the scene of her confrontation with Lin Yecheng in front of the chief eunuch had left a deep impression on him.

"You flatter me, Your Excellency," Song Miqiu said with an awkward smile. She glanced at the people in the Imperial Study. "If I dared to show off my limited skills in front of His Majesty, I'm afraid even ten of me wouldn't be enough for His Majesty to behead me to vent his anger."

"Such a lack of ambition!" the chief eunuch laughed and scolded. He knew that in the face of absolute power, no matter how right Song Miqiu was, he would not dare to openly defy the emperor.

He pushed open the door and strode in first, bowing respectfully to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, the person you requested has been brought to you by this servant."

"Hurry up and let her in! Saving lives is the priority!"

Song Miqiu had some doubts in her heart, wondering why a high-ranking official had fainted and she was the only one who could be found.

As soon as she entered, she glanced at Yan's father, who was being placed to the side by some palace maids and eunuchs, and instantly understood.

Song Miqiu glanced at Yan's father's clothes and guessed that he must have been dealing with official business with the Emperor, and had suffered a sudden heart attack, which is why he fainted.

She strode over to the chief eunuch, clasped her hands in a salute to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and treat him now."

"Aren't you going to hurry up?"

Song Miqiu shrugged and quickly walked to Yan's father's side, squatting down. The many eunuchs and palace maids who had been surrounding Yan's father immediately walked away and stood aside, craning their necks to watch how Song Miqiu would treat the person in front of them.

Song Miqiu first placed her fingers on Yan's father's wrist to carefully take his pulse. Then, she pried open Yan's father's double eyelids to see the color of his pupils, and then put two fingers together between his neck to probe.

The palace maids stood aside, watching Song Miqiu fiddling around for a while, and asked in low voices, "What exactly is she fiddling with for all this time?"

"I don't know either, but I heard that when the Yan family held a banquet earlier, Yan Guan fainted, and she appeared and saved him. I didn't expect that Yan Guan would faint again in the Imperial Study today. When the Emperor heard about what happened at the banquet earlier, he hurriedly brought her here to treat her!"

Hearing what this person said, the others immediately shut their mouths and dared not say a word. They only dared to discuss in hushed tones, for fear of disturbing Song Miqiu's treatment.

If the timing is wrong, then the blame will fall on them!

Song Miqiu had extremely sharp ears and could hear the palace maids talking about her. She pursed her lips, her tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxing, and a smile appeared on her lips, "As expected..."

Fortunately, Yan's father's heart disease was not serious. Song Miqiu remembered what she had told Yan's mother before, and began to feel around Yan's father's body.

The Emperor watched in stunned silence, turning to the head eunuch in shock, "This..."

"This servant does not know either."

The head eunuch's gaze was fixed on Song Miqiu. He also had the medicine that Song Miqiu had given him earlier, but he didn't know whether Song Miqiu was reliable or not.

He would only reluctantly believe her if she could save Yan Guan.

But seeing Song Miqiu's actions, the head eunuch couldn't help but frown.

No one present made a sound to disturb Song Miqiu. Even the Emperor sat quietly and watched Song Miqiu treat the patient.

After groping around for a while, Song Miqiu finally found a porcelain bottle on Yan's father's body. She uncorked it, poured the pills into her palm, and with her other hand, she pried open Yan's father's mouth and stuffed the pills inside.

Perhaps worried that Yan's father wouldn't swallow it, Song Miqiu placed one hand on his neck and the other on the back of his head, fiddling with it for a moment before realizing that Yan's father had swallowed it completely.

After doing all this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Yan's father woke up. When he saw Song Miqiu squatting beside him, he immediately realized that Song Miqiu had saved him again.

He supported himself with his hands and sat up. Yan's father clasped his hands together and said gratefully, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do!"

Including the last banquet, this is the second time Song Miqiu has helped her.

He will never forget his savior!

Song Miqiu gave a dry laugh, feeling helpless at Yan's father's enthusiasm.

"Imperial Physician Song."

Song Miqiu exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly stood up to face the Emperor, clasping his hands in greeting and bowing, "Your Majesty."

The Emperor pointed at Yan's father and asked in confusion, "Is Minister Yan suffering from some kind of illness?"

At the same time, the emperor's face showed a hint of something unspeakable. He recalled Song Miqiu's actions just now and didn't know what to say.

However, Song Miqiu's ability to save Yan's father made the emperor think more highly of her, and his tone became much better.

He had a deep impression of Song Miqiu, who had almost caused Consort Lin to miscarry and was stubborn as ever, which made him remember her more.

“Your Majesty, he already has a heart condition. The fact that Your Majesty was able to find me suggests that you have probably heard about how I gave him medicine at the Yan family banquet.” This time, Song Miqiu was more confident in front of the Emperor.

"What I just found on him is the medicine I gave him at the banquet for his heart treatment. This medicine is very rare, but it can support him for a long time."

"A long time?"

The Emperor frowned and questioned repeatedly, "Are you not lying? If you could hold on for such a long time, why did Minister Yan suddenly faint in my study?!"

“Your Majesty,” Song Miqiu replied with a hint of helplessness, “there are two reasons. First, his health is too poor. It’s normal for his body to be unaccustomed to the medicine when he first started taking it. Second, he may not have taken the medicine on time, and the effects of the medicine have already worn off since the last dose.”

At this point, Song Miqiu paused, glanced at Yan's father with some concern, hesitated for a moment, and finally revealed what she considered to be the most serious reason.

"In my humble opinion, Yan Guanchen currently suffers from heart disease, and the work he is currently engaged in is quite dangerous. If he continues to do so, it will likely cause great damage to his health!"

Song Miqiu spoke solemnly and seriously, her tone and expression extremely earnest.

The head eunuch looked over in disbelief. He hadn't expected Song Miqiu to be so bold. Did she realize that saying such a thing would cause the other party to lose his official position?
