Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Your Highness, are you all right?" Daisy helped Lilian to stand up right away.
"You bitch! How dare you attack me?! I'm carrying a baby for His Majesty! How could you?!" Lilian snarled. She was so furious
that she wanted to kill the woman right then and there.
However, the woman only gave her an indifferent look and said in a rigid tone, "His Majesty said that Your Highness is forbidden
to go out of your palace. He also said that if Your Highness threatened us with the baby in your womb, we should just bring some
abortion medicine for you."
Lilian was stunned by what the woman said. Looking at her in disbelief, Lilian said, "You're lying. His Majesty can't do that to me!"
"I'm telling you the truth. Whatever you want to do, it's none of my business, Your Highness. But we need to follow His Majesty's
orders." Immediately, the two women closed the door right in Lilian's face.
While staring at the closed door, and hearing the sound of multiple locks outside, Lilian could not help the trembles all over her
body. She grabbed Daisy's hand, constantly adding strength to her grip. "It's impossible. His Majesty can't treat me this way! It's
impossible!"
"Your Highness, please calm down. His Majesty is just upset right now. Everything will be all right after he gets over it," Daisy
said, trying to comfort Lilian. But in fact, she was terrified as well. How could Rolando have uttered such ruthless words about
Lilian? The princess was pregnant with his child for heaven's sake.
"No! I can't wait anymore. I want to see His Majesty. I want to ask him in person what's going on," Lilian said. She then began
ceaselessly knocking on the door. "Open the door! Let me out! I want to see His Majesty! Open the door right now!"
But even after a while, there was no response outside the door. All of the people outside simply ignored Lilian's cries and
screams. In the imperial harem, everyone could stomp and push around a lady who had been dumped by the emperor. Lilian
had once been glorified and respected when she first arrived at the palace. But now that she was out of Rolando's favor, she
was nothing but a frantic and confounded woman.
In the Imperial Study, Rolando was reviewing the reports from the courtiers. However, he couldn't concentrate. He irritably threw
a document out. When Sean came back, it was the first thing that he noticed.
Sean picked it up and cautiously put it back on the desk. Then he said, "Your Majesty, Lady Lilian is suffering from emotional
instability. She kept on asking to see you. Is there something that you would like me to do?"

Rolando sneered, "She wants to see me? Didn't she push me to another woman? Why does she still want to see me? Just
ignore her."
"But, Your Majesty, Lady Lilian is carrying your baby..."
"My baby? There is no such thing. That's ridiculous!" Rolando scoffed once again.
Sean raised his head to look at Rolando in astonishment. Then he quickly lowered his head again. He felt that he had just heard
a big revelation, but he dared not show his reaction to it. He just heard Rolando say that there wasn't a baby of his. So who was
the father of the baby that Lilian was carrying? Who was so bold as to sleep with the emperor's woman? The most significant
thing was that Rolando endured the humiliation without saying anything.
All of a sudden, Rolando opened a cabinet under the table, in which a Heavenly Book was located. It was the one he had been
keeping. Now, it lay quietly in the cabinet. He was willing to give it to Harper. But she might leave as soon as she got it, which
was the last thing he wanted to happen. His goal was to simply keep Harper in there for as long as he could.
After keeping silent for a long time, Rolando commanded slowly, "Call Gary in here."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A downpour started late in that evening. Along with it came the thunder and lightning. Rolando was discussing something in the
Imperial Study. Meanwhile, Lilian was still crying and screaming in the Bliss Palace, though no one was still responding to her.
On the other hand, Harper didn't like such weather at all. She went to bed earlier than usual so she was already asleep when
Forsythia came back. After taking a quiet look at Harper and seeing that she had fallen asleep, Forsythia closed the door and
slept outside the bedroom. A lot of things had happened in the past few days. Yesterday, she had fallen into a trap and fainted,
and she had not been released until just now. Although she didn't know what had happened, she could tell from the multiple
layers of guards around the Harmony Palace that whatever it was, things were not that simple.
As fast as a phantom, a figure sneaked into the palace during the storm. Because the weather was so terrible, the guards had
more or less relaxed their vigilance. The sound of the storm concealed a lot of other sounds, and the rainwater flushed away
various traces. Therefore, nobody noticed that someone had sneaked into the Harmony Palace.
From sleeping so soundly, Harper opened her eyes all of a sudden. She then saw a person standing beside the bed. As a result,
she was startled and was about to protect herself when the person stopped her. She wanted to call for help, but her lips were

immediately covered by the lips of the person. The lips were cold and familiar, but devoid of the tenderness that she had been
accustomed with.
The kiss lasted so long that she was almost out of breath. It was not until then that the person finally let go of her. Gasping for air
and catching her breath, Harper mumbled in a weak voice, "Matthew..."
The person was none other than Matthew. There were too many hidden emotions in his eyes. Harper sat up, trying to see the
face of the man in front of her with the occasional illumination from lightning.
Matthew looked rigid and cold. Harper stretched out her hand to touch his face, but before she could do so, he grabbed her hand
instead. With a firm and irritable voice, he asked, "Harper Chu, what did I tell you before?"
