I insist

Chapter 208: Hypnosis

After Yu Huailin finished resolving everything, he walked towards the palace gates with great satisfaction. Just as he was about to get into his carriage, he heard someone calling his name.

Yu Huailin paused, turned his head to look, and saw Zhang Jiesheng standing not far away, looking at him with a half-smile.

He subconsciously frowned, his goodwill towards Zhang Jiesheng completely gone.

After all, Yu Huailin hadn't forgotten how many times Zhang Jiesheng had tripped him up. If he hadn't discovered it in time, he probably would have really been tricked by Zhang Jiesheng.

Facing Zhang Jiesheng, Yu Huailin looked at him with a forced smile and gave a curt bow. "I wonder what business Brother Zhang has with me?"

"Judging from your recent departure from the Eastern Palace, you must have gone to see the Crown Prince alone." Zhang Jiesheng crossed his arms and looked at Yu Huailin with a faint smile, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes.

"I just need to see His Highness the Crown Prince about something." Yu Huailin didn't want to talk to Zhang Jiesheng any longer. He shrugged and was about to leave when Zhang Jiesheng stretched out his arm to block Yu Huailin's way.

"In that case, you wouldn't mind sharing with me the content of your conversation with the Crown Prince, would you?" Zhang Jiesheng asked with a smile.

There was an unconcealable coldness in his eyes. During this time, he often had nothing to do and also discovered that most of the important matters had been arranged by the Crown Prince to be handled by Jia Zhen.

This was something Zhang Jiesheng couldn't accept.

Before Jia Zhen arrived, these tasks were clearly assigned to him. Although it was tiring, Zhang Jiesheng was very happy because outsiders treated him with the same care and respect as the Crown Prince.

"Brother Zhang is so capable, you should go and ask His Highness the Crown Prince yourself. After all, that was a very important matter at the time, and I don't think I would dare to speak out if His Highness the Crown Prince disagrees."

Yu Huailin wasn't afraid of Zhang Jiesheng's questioning. He simply threw everything to the Crown Prince. As long as Zhang Jiesheng was bold enough to ask, he had no objection.

After all, if anyone dares to speak carelessly about what he presented, they'll be in for a world of hurt.

Zhang Jiesheng paused, sensing from Yu Huailin's words that this matter was not simple. If he were to inquire directly, he might incur the Crown Prince's displeasure and annoyance.

It seems the other party was determined to embarrass him.

Jason Zhang wasn't about to fall for it. He paused for a moment, then smiled and changed the subject, "I remember you're not engaged yet, right? How about I help you find someone? I happen to know some nice unmarried women who I can introduce you to."

Yu Huailin raised an eyebrow and refused outright.

Can't Zhang Jiesheng see what he's thinking? It's obvious he wants to plant someone by his side.

Besides, he already has Song Miqiu. He just needs to find an opportunity to express his feelings to Song Miqiu in the future, and he thinks she will agree.

After all, he had spent so much time with Song Miqiu, and if anyone knew Song Miqiu best, besides Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei, he was probably the one who knew him best.

“You should keep this woman for yourself,” Yu Huailin said with a smile, patting Zhang Jiesheng’s shoulder heavily. “It’s normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines. I don’t have any such plans right now, so there’s no need for you to leave her to me, Brother Zhang.”

Having said that, Yu Huailin really didn't want to have any more dealings with Zhang Jiesheng. He glanced at the other man coldly, turned around, and strode away.

Zhang Jiesheng turned around and looked at Yu Huailin's departing figure, his eyes filled with malice.

For some reason, he really disliked Jia Zhen and felt even more resentful. He had arrived much earlier than Jia Zhen and should have been Jia Zhen's elder! How could a junior speak to an elder like that?

He gritted his teeth, glared at Jia Zhen's departing figure, and then strode away.

After leaving the palace, Yu Huailin did not go home. He found a place to get off the carriage, removed the disguise from his face, and then walked towards a restaurant.

When the shopkeeper heard someone come in, he asked the person what they wanted to order as usual, but he didn't receive a response for a long time. At the same time, he heard someone knocking on his counter.

He looked up impatiently, about to lash out, when he saw that it was Yu Huailin.

The shopkeeper quickly shrugged and forced a dry laugh, "Boss, what brings you here at this hour?"

"If I don't come, I'll see you taking advantage of the situation?" Yu Huailin asked coldly.

The shopkeeper realized it was his fault. He was just racking his brains to figure out how to make amends when he suddenly remembered the information he had investigated earlier, but he hadn't told Yu Huailin about it yet.

Thinking of this, he quickly said to Yu Huailin, "Boss, there's something I'm sure you'll be interested in."

"What is it, Qing?"

Yu Huailin raised his chin, signaling the other person to continue.

"It's about Song Miqiu."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin paused, then gestured for the other person to continue with a stern face.

After returning home, Song Miqiu went straight to her room. She quietly closed the door and then put everything she had recently acquired into the system.

Watching her points steadily increase, Song Miqiu covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

Now Tian Yumei and Qiu Tianlei are able to support themselves. At the same time, Tian Yumei has also learned to manage money and household expenses, so she no longer needs to find ways to earn more money to help them and the family.

This also gave her more items to exchange for points.

Song Miqiu looked at the virtual system panel in front of her and couldn't help but scroll through it. She originally just wanted to exchange for some medicine, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt that all the medicines were useful.

She hesitated for a moment, then immediately redeemed all the medicines she wanted. Anyway, she had enough points to go around!

Suddenly, Song Miqiu saw something, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Song Miqiu didn't expect the system to start releasing things related to hypnosis. She glanced at the points and figured it was because the item's function was hypnosis, and the points were much more expensive than other items.

Although Song Miqiu has a lot of points now, she still feels a little reluctant to exchange them for this hypnotic item.

But when Song Miqiu thought about how this hypnotic substance could be used on the Empress Dowager, she exchanged for the hypnotic substance without hesitation.

Holding the object in her hand, her eyes were filled with determination. She had to seize the opportunity to use hypnosis to extract information from the Empress Dowager so she could learn everything about what happened back then.

And why did her father get involved with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?

As Song Miqiu pondered these matters, she bent down to tidy up the densely packed medicines on the table. She found it somewhat amusing, yet also somewhat speechless at herself.

She had just noticed that she had a lot of points, and before she knew it, she had exchanged them for a whole table of medicine.

Song Miqiu picked up a medicine at random and looked at it. She pursed her lips, wondering if it would be of any use.
