Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 117

Hailey couldn't help but feel worried that if she went to talk to Charles directly, she would only expose the fact that she had
secretly paid her mother a visit, something which Charles had forbidden her from doing. With that in mind, she thought that it
would be better if Lacy went there instead of her, so she asked her to see her father instead.
Without delay, Lacy told Charles about Sue's message. Upon hearing it, Charles didn't say anything for a while. The reason why
he had completely lost interest in Sue wasn't just because she had been bringing him a lot of trouble. It was also because she
was so jealous that she would definitely be against him taking more concubines. What saddened him most was the fact that he
couldn't get even one concubine in the mansion for many years all thanks to Sue.
"Did she really say such a thing?" Charles asked, feeling a bit skeptical. It was hardly surprising that he couldn't believe it. After
all, he knew just how jealous Sue was.
"Yes, My Lord. Lady Sue knows she's going to die soon, so she is worried about you. She wants to take some concubines for
you so that they can take care of you," Lacy quickly said. "My Lord, please go and see her. She really misses you very much."
After hesitating for a bit, Charles finally said, "Okay, I got it. I'll come over to visit her later."
"Thank you so much, My Lord. For sure, she will be very happy once she hears that. I will tell her right away to wait for you."
Lacy walked away, feeling so contented. Despite thinking that it could very well just be Sue's scheme, Charles was hoping deep
inside that Sue really was that kind. He was wishing that Sue would be bringing him such an unexpected surprise.

Sue instructed her maids to look for some prospects to be Charles' concubines. Every single one of them was quite beautiful and
possessed such a soft disposition, which could easily arouse men's desire to take care of them. However, none of them were of
high status. Even if they were to enter the Chu Clan mansion, Sue was certain that they wouldn't pose a threat to her position.

a while since they last saw each other, Sue wanted to dress up so that she wouldn't look so haggard. However, she couldn't hide her shriveled figure. A tinge of hatred flashed across Sue's eyes when she saw Charles walking in, still looking so fresh and energetic. She had been poisoned by him and left here to die. No

thin and weak, Charles was a little surprised as well. He had not expected that Sue would become so thin. "You... You've lost a lot of weight," he softly said. "I've been lying in bed for quite a while now since I got sick, so

"You are still not in good health, so you should take good care of yourself and get some much needed rest. Don't go exerting
yourself too much. Harper is already taking care of family affairs. Don't worry, she is actually doing so well. And although Hailey
has been affected by Felicia's case, she is going to be back to the Imperial Palace soon enough. So, you don't need to keep
overworking yourself. Right now, you really need to get some rest," Charles said in an attempt to comfort Sue. However, his
words only seemed to have made Sue feel even more restless.
"How can I possibly feel at ease?" Sue cried out as she held Charles' hand. "It's not the family affairs in the mansion I'm worried
about. I'm worried that no one is around to take care of you after I'm gone. You haven't taken any concubines for many years
