Forensic Imperial Concubine

In an instant, Rolando was gone. He left without even a bit of hesitation.
Watching his receding figure, Lilian crossed her arms on her chest. She then squatted on the ground and began to helplessly cry.
She didn't understand why he was treating her like this. Before Harper arrived in the Great Jade Kingdom, Rolando would treat
her with utmost care. Even though he didn't love her, she felt content as she enjoyed his attention.
But since Harper started living in the Harmony Palace, Rolando's attitude towards her had changed. His care and consideration
gradually disappeared. It seemed like everything that they had in the past were not real. Unfortunately, Lilian was immersed in
the delusional world that she had created in her head and she didn't want to wake up.
Soon after, Daisy came into the room and she was very surprised to see the state that Lilian was in. The poor woman looked so
distressed and miserable. Daisy quickly picked up her clothes and placed them on her shoulder. "Your Highness, what's wrong?
His Majesty seems to be very upset. I've never seen him so furious before."
Lilian was crying so much that she was almost out of breath. With Daisy's help, Lilian walked to the bed and lay on it. She felt
very dejected. Rolando's love for her was so superficial, but his love for Harper seemed so real. There was only one person who
was allowed to call him by his real name and that happened to be Harper. Not only that, but he would play the zither for her, help
her with the dishes, and do something that like an ordinary man would do for the woman he loved. In comparison, Rolando's
treatment of Lilian was so different. He didn't even care about her feelings at all.
Staring into nothingness, Lilian asked, "Why am I not as good as her? That woman is so deceitful and cunning. I'm absolutely
better than her. Why can't he see my merits?"
"Your Highness, are you all right?" Daisy was startled by Lilian's unusual behavior. She could sense that something had
happened between Rolando and Lilian when they were at the Harmony Palace, but she didn't know why. When Lilian didn't
answer, Daisy exclaimed, "I'm going to invite Lady Harper over!"
"No! Don't do that! I don't want to see her!" Lilian cried out, raising her voice.
"Your Highness..." Daisy looked at Lilian in bewilderment.
Looking back at Daisy, Lilian saw how surprised the woman was. With a sigh, Lilian closed her eyes, in an attempt to calm
herself down. "You can go now. Just leave me alone."
"Yes, Your Highness."

What Lilian hated the most was the fact that she had given her heart and everything she had to Rolando, but it turned out that he
didn't love her at all. She hated Harper as well. If it wasn't for her, Rolando wouldn't treat her in such a cruel and unkind manner.
Even though she was carrying his child, it really seemed like Rolando didn't care about her.
"Lilian." A voice called out. Lilian suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw the person sitting at the table not far from her, she
sat up in surprise as if she could not believe it. "Lilian, how have you been?"
"Francis! It's you!"
Right in front of her was Francis, her sixth brother. He was still dressed in white while looking gentle and serene, but Lilian knew
that he was not as harmless as he seemed to be.
"What brings you here?" Lilian asked with caution.
Francis immediately understood what Lilian was thinking. He fidgeted with his jade ring and replied, "I'm here to take revenge on
someone."
"Who are you talking about?" Lilian asked with a bit of excitement.
With resentment and viciousness in his eyes, Francis replied, "Don't worry. It's not Rolando. I'm here to take revenge on
someone who hurt me so terribly and placed me in this kind of situation. Anyway, I've brought you into the Imperial Palace. But I
didn't expect you to be so useless. You did nothing but hide in your room and cry by yourself."
Lilian looked at Francis in amazement and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Rolando has romantic affections for Harper. I've known about it for so long, even when he was still Chodak. Why do you think
he would go back to the Great Jade Kingdom and fight his way to the throne?" Francis stated with a smile.
"At that time, the health of the Great Jade Kingdom's emperor was already declining. He was in such a critical condition."
"No, it was Rolando who made the emperor sick. He agreed to marry you, got you pregnant, and made you his wife. There's a
reason behind all of these. He wanted Harper to come here," Francis said while he looked at Lilian with so much pity.
"I don't believe it!"
"You saw it with your own eyes tonight and still, you refuse to believe me?" Francis sneered before he continued, "Even if you
take off all your clothes and stand in front of Rolando, he still wouldn't care about you. But when it comes to Harper, he's willing

to give her everything even if she does nothing."
"That's a lie. You're lying to me. It was Harper who seduced Rolando. From the beginning, he would have never fallen for her."
"Seduce him?" The expression on Francis' eyes darkened. He was actually realizing that Lilian might be right. Harper might have
seduced Rolando, like she did with him. Harper was very kind to him, but she refused to be with him. She even set him up for
another man. Francis then added, "Yes, if indeed she seduced Rolando, what are you going to do then? Are you going to just let
her take away Rolando?"
"Of course not!"
"Good, very good!" With a satisfied smile, Francis threw a box towards Lilian's direction. She reached out and caught it.
"What's this?"
"That is something that would destroy Harper! But I need your cooperation," Francis said while raising his eyebrow at her.
With a frown, Lilian asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"The thing inside the box is called Fantasy. It's specially made for women," Francis said with a smile. His gentle and innocent
expression made him look more sinister. He licked his lips and continued, "You need to find a chance to light it in Harper's room,
and I'll find a way to lure Rolando in there."
"Why do you want to lure him there?" Lilian asked, confusion written all over her face.
