Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 564

"The Bu Clan?" Harper was taken totally aback. Many of the officials were Franklin's students, so the idea of joining Francis
together with the Bu Clan seemed far too bold a move. What on earth could the emperor be playing at? Did he want to make a
new crown prince?
Noticing Harper's puzzlement, Matthew explained to her softly, "The Bu Clan won't befriend any prince. His Majesty knows that
perfectly well. His only purpose in doing this is to mislead Francis into thinking that His Majesty thinks highly of him. It also

Caroline blushed slightly and stole a shy glance at Harper. Twisting the handkerchief around her fingers, she said, "George treats
me very well."
"Your happy face shows me that you're telling the truth. So, George is a court official, and now the other members of the Kong
Clan are all in the south. I'm sure you must be working hard to take charge of all the arrangements for the mansion. If you have
any problems, don't hesitate to go back to the Bu Clan and ask your mother for advice, or send someone to inform me."

home. It was not big, but it was decorated in fine and delicate taste. The Kong Clan had bought this house in a hurry, but George had already converted it into an elegant, comfortable home. The pavilions, rockeries and waterfalls were quite a treat for the eyes. "Harper, His Majesty intended for Prince Francis to join the court," Caroline whispered in a low voice after she sent the servants away.
