"Congratulations!" Harper clapped. But she thought that Hailey was such a fool. Katrina had always been favored by the emperor
even if she was without a child. As it was, Hailey had always been the one who mainly tended to her. Now that Chloe requested
a sudden change of physicians, she was up to something. Hailey was a fool to not have realized this.
"Lady Chloe is pregnant. You must be careful," Charles warned. He had been in politics to know that something was up. "If you
do have any problems, go ask Lady Katrina for help."
"I know, Father."
"Or you could find another imperial physician to take care of Lady Chloe with you. This way, you'll be more relieved by
exhausting duties," Charles suggested. People in the Imperial Palace had been known to resort to ruthless means in murdering
their enemies. Getting rid of an unborn baby would be a piece of cake. If Hailey walked into their traps, the Chu Clan would
suffer great losses. It would be even harder for Katrina to stay in the palace alone.
"Lady Katrina's afraid of problems coming with Lady Chloe's pregnancy, so she dares not send any other physician to Lady
Chloe. After all, Lady Chloe specifically requested me to take care of her. But I am afraid of what other people would do to Lady
Chloe." Hailey lowered her voice to a whisper. The emperor had always been greatly attached to the child ever since Chloe
announced her pregnancy. If Chloe gave birth to the child, she'd be promoted to a higher position. If there was a mistake in the

process of her pregnancy, it would be by the hands of the other concubines.

Her old self would've felt bitter about it, but now, she felt detached by the matter. "By the way, how is Lady Katrina?" Charles asked. Suddenly it occurred to him that Mavis asked Harper to go to the Imperial Palace. "Lady Katrina is doing great, but she misses Grandma and Father so much," Hailey smiled. "Lady Katrina even asked me to bring a piece of invaluable ginseng for Grandma." "That's so kind of her." Mavis

Charles nodded thoughtfully and cast a glance at Harper. But she calmly ate her food, not noticing the way her father glared at
her.
"Father, have you heard of Prince Matthew's disability and his last fiancee's death?" Hailey suddenly asked.
Charles snorted, "Who wouldn't? His Highness has bad karma. He has brought it to the women around him! Look at it. They
were just engaged and his fiancee was already dead."
"His highness is disabled. Is that true?" Hailey asked softly. There was an unknown emotion threaded across her words that

him. Aren't you in the Imperial Academy of Medicine? Why do you still ask?" Charles asked casually, unaware of what his eldest daughter was up to. "His Highness is a powerful man, and His Majesty has always been very suspicious of him. Now he is in charge of the interdependent judicial departments—the Ministry of Punishments, the Council of Review, and the Department of Supervision. Though everyone thinks he lost his influence, his Black Flag Army is still as
