Forensic Imperial Concubine

"No, I don't think he would be that ruthless to me!" Lilian was quick to defend her proposal.
Looking mercifully at the girl who was now trapped in the dead end, Harper shook her head and said, "He never has feelings for
you! Did you hear me? Rolando doesn't love you. Are you sure about doing this?"
"I strongly believe that my sincere love will move him eventually," Lilian said confidently.
Harper understood that she wouldn't be able to persuade Lilian, who had been infatuated with Rolando even when he was still
Chodak. She used to chase him everywhere all over the world, regardless of others' opinions. Now that Chodak had regained his
identity and became the new emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom, she would never stop loving him.
"Well, if you really want to do that, just ask Francis. I believe he will help you." Now that Harper couldn't dissuade Lilian, it was
her duty as her aunt to give her some advice. Francis didn't want to have a conflict with the Great Jade Kingdom. Since Lilian
was willing to marry the emperor, Francis would be most happy to see that.
"Thank you very much, Aunt."
"I hope you get what you want."
Looking at Lilian, who left in a hurry, Harper shook her head. Rolando was known to have a temperament very similar to
Matthew. As long as he didn't care about someone, he would remain unmoved even if that person were to die in front of him.
Obviously, Rolando didn't care about Lilian.
"Your Highness, Princess Lilian is really going to have a marriage alliance?" asked Nina confusedly. It made little sense to her
why a princess was voluntarily willing to accept a political marriage. In history, all the princesses in the imperial household had
cried out to refuse the political marriage, but Lilian cried out that she wanted to marry a man through the marriage alliance.
"If she is going to plead with Francis, he will agree," Harper said slowly. "Nina, I think it's time to put your marriage with Barry on
the agenda."
"Your Highness, I... I..." Nina failed to find the right words to express her surprise.
"I'll soon discuss this with Matthew and decide your wedding date." After she heard that, Nina's face flushed red with shyness.
Harper couldn't help but want to tease her. "Every day, when Barry sees me, he behaves as if he wants to ask when I will allow
you to marry him. It seems as if he believes I have stolen his wife, and I dare not to keep you with me anymore."

"Your Highness!" Nina was anxious. "I do not wish to leave you."
"So, does it mean that you don't wish to marry Barry? Well, if that's the case, I'll send someone at once to reject him, saying that
you already have someone you like and you're not willing to be his wife." Harper was about to tell someone to send a message
to Barry, but Nina held her back in a hurry.
"Your Highness!"
"Hahaha, Nina, Her Highness was just kidding with you." Forsythia burst into laughter, and Nina immediately rushed into the
room with a blush, so she could hide herself.
"She even feels shy." Harper shook her head with a smile. "Barry is dull, clumsy in speech and a little stupid as well, but he is
fine."
The corners of Forsythia's mouth twitched. "Your Highness, does Barry really have that many shortcomings?"
"Not just Barry, but Fred also has a lot of shortcomings." Harper counted on her fingers. "Fred is too cold. He never talks much
and often gets angry."
"What about Steward Noah then?"
"Noah is talkative and cunning. He always throws his jobs to me! If any woman has a crush on him, chances are that she would
definitely get exploited by him," Harper said through gritted teeth.
"Then... What about His Highness?"
Harper paused for a while, and then said with a smile, "Matthew has many shortcomings. They are as countless as the stars in
the sky."
"Is His Highness that bad? Doesn't he have a lot of advantages?" Forsythia stuttered.
"Advantage? Yes. But his advantage is as few as the sun." With a smile in her eyes, Harper rested her chin on one hand. "But
when the sun rises, you can't see the stars. So, no matter how many shortcomings he has, I can't see them."
Forsythia breathed a sigh of relief. "If His Highness was here now, he would have been thrilled after hearing your words."

Harper glanced at Forsythia. "It's said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. You probably can't understand it now. But
you'll understand it when you find a man someday and think he is so perfect that no one can be compared to him."
Forsythia rolled her eyes and asked, "Tell me, Your Highness. Who is better, His Highness or Mister Zack?"
"You wish to be beaten!" Harper pretended to be angry and beat her playfully. "They are not at all of the same kind."
"Why? I think His Highness and Mister Zack both have their own merits. But your likes and dislikes should also be taken into
consideration. The one you love is always better!" Forsythia said.
"No. The one I love is the best for me, but it's not the same for others. But it's not fair to deny Zack's advantages. His good is
slow and gentle with silence, while Matthew's good is like a storm that can totally catch me off guard. Being gentle and silent is
good, but before it can go deep into your heart, you will get invaded by the storm. So if you really love someone, pursue him in
time," Harper stated.
Forsythia chuckled, and said, "Your Highness, how do you feel after hearing these words?"
Harper was surprised, and turned around quickly. As expected, she saw Matthew standing at the door, looking at her quietly.
Although he stood there expressionless, joy spilled over his eyes. Harper pouted, glaring at Forsythia, and thought, 'How dare
you trick me into saying that!'
"You're back."
"Yes, I'm." Matthew stepped inside, and immediately had a silent, blissful feeling of home. Someone was waiting and caring for
him. Only the words "you're back" made him extremely happy.
