Forensic Imperial Concubine

Matthew was dumbstruck hearing the news. After a while, he rushed out of the room like a gust of wind. He ran so fast that even
Harper failed to stop him. In the blink of an eye, he was nowhere to be seen.
Harper was almost frozen on the spot, as she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She did not understand what her husband
meant. Was he so scared by this news that he fled away?
When Fred returned, what he saw was Matthew stumbling out as if he had bumped into a ghost. Fred looked at Harper, whose
face twisted. Then, he looked back at the direction of Matthew, but he had already disappeared from his sight. He asked, "Your
Highness, what's wrong with His Highness?"
"Nothing serious. He is crazy!" Harper uttered every word between her teeth. She could not help but curse Matthew in her heart.
It was he who had yearned for a child from her. Now, when she finally got pregnant, he said he no longer wanted a child. 'Is he
kidding me?' she thought.
In a rage, Harper walked out forcibly, as if she would leave her three-dimensional footprints on the ground. She was heading
straight for the Phoenix House. Seeing all this, Fred was very confused. The couple was in a harmonious atmosphere a while
ago, but in the blink of an eye, they had fallen out.
"Your Highness, do you need me to call His Highness back?" Fred asked cautiously.
Hearing that, Harper halted and turned around, and this scared Fred to stop in his tracks too. At the sight of her fiery glare, he
swallowed and mumbled, "Your Highness..."
"Tell him to go die and never show up again in front of me!" Harper roared loudly, boiling with anger. She then turned back and
walked swiftly towards the Phoenix House.
Since the fake Harper hadn't been back after a long while, Nina was afraid that she would make trouble for Harper. Thus, Nina
went out to look for the imposter. Coincidentally, she met Harper, who was walking towards the Phoenix House with a long face.
"Your Highness, you... You're back?"
"Close the door and unchain the dog. If Matthew comes here, let the dog bite him dead!" Harper said relentlessly. "From now on,
Matthew will be barred from entering my house. If someone lets him in, that person would be thrown out along with him!"
When Forsythia caught up with Harper, she heard her raging roar. She couldn't help but comment, "His Highness is doomed and
in big trouble. I've never seen Her Highness this angry."

Fred nodded his head to echo with Forsythia. He couldn't agree more, as this was the first instance when the gate of the Phoenix
House was closed right in front of him, preventing him from entering inside. Even Forsythia was locked outside. It seemed that
they too were implicated.
"What on earth had happened?" Forsythia asked.
"I don't know. When I came back, I saw His Highness running out as if he had seen a ghost. And Her Highness was raging in
anger. I think His Highness might have done something to Her Highness' extreme displeasure," Fred said. After thinking for a
while, he added, "But I just can't imagine what on earth would make Her Highness so angry."
"Does His Highness have another woman?" Forsythia asked tentatively.
"That's impossible!" Fred refuted immediately, shaking his head. Matthew's eyes were always fixed on Harper. Though they were
married, he was still afraid that some other man would try to woo her away from him. He envied every man who got closer to his
wife.
"Then why is Her Highness so angry?" Forsythia was confused. Though she had served Harper for a long time, she had never
seen her so angry.
At the same time, Matthew, who was still unaware that he had enraged his wife so much, was sitting in the Imperial Academy of
Medicine like a Yama with a poker face. Dozens of imperial physicians knelt on the ground, holding their breath. They couldn't
understand why Matthew, who seldom paid any visit to the Imperial Academy of Medicine, suddenly came today and called all its
members, including the chief imperial physician and interns who filled prescriptions, here.
"Your Highness, what could be the reason for calling all of us together here? What can we do for you?" the chief imperial
physician asked cautiously. At that moment, he even wished if he were not the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, as
that would have warded off him from meeting Matthew face to face.
"Every ten of you will form a group. Write down what I want in groups according to my requirement!" As soon as he finished his
words, some people marched in and set up folding screens, dividing the room for ten compartments. Each compartment was
equipped with a desk and a chair as well as an ink brush, an ink stick, paper and an ink stone.
The imperial physicians were a little relieved. Their hearts were no longer in their throats. Fortunately for them, Matthew wasn't
here to make trouble. Now that he wanted the imperial physicians to write down something according to his requirements, they
guessed it had to be certainly connected with medicine, which was their strong point. The chief imperial physician took the lead

and walked into a compartment, while others followed him. They sat down in different compartments and then waited for further
instructions from Matthew.
"Every one of you, write what a pregnant lady can eat and cannot eat, what she can do and cannot do. Before you give back the
paper, make sure you have signed your name at the bottom," Matthew ordered in an apathetic tone. It was hard for one to tell his
emotion from his voice. But he was sitting down and was constantly knocking on the desk rhythmically, indicating that he was
excited.
Hearing Matthew's order, the chief imperial physician squinted his eyes and glanced at him. He wondered if Matthew's wife was
pregnant.
"Your Highness, pardon me for my interruption, but is Her Highness pregnant?" the chief imperial physician asked tentatively.
"Cut the crap! Do what I asked you to do," Matthew said, as he frowned slightly and cast him a glare. The chief imperial
physician was so frightened that his hand holding the ink brush trembled, ruining the piece of paper in front of him. He had no
choice but to rewrite on a new piece of paper.
All the imperial physicians breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the reason Matthew was here was only because he wanted
them to write matters needing attention for a pregnant woman. It was rumored that he had been injured and couldn't have a
child. Now if his wife was pregnant, he must be crazy with joy, but the emperor would be crazy with anger.
Soon, each of the first group of ten imperial physicians completed their list of do's and don'ts. Immediately someone approached
to pick their paper up and then handed it over to Matthew for review.
