Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 628

Harper was still sleeping late that morning. Nina and Anabel were waiting outside. Harper didn't like to be disturbed when she
was sleeping. If there was any noise to awaken her, she would be very irritated and might punish everyone in the house.
When Noah arrived, he saw that the door of Harper's room was closed and that Nina and Anabel sat at the door and did some
needlework. "Nina, is Her Highness up yet?"
"Steward Noah, Her Highness is still asleep. What's the matter?" Nina quickly stood up and asked.
"The word from the Imperial Palace is that His Majesty is unwell."
Harper woke up at that moment, just in time to hear that the emperor was ill. She quickly had the maids come in to help her
change clothes and freshen up. She was finished and ready in the blink of an eye. She remembered what she had said the
previous night to Matthew: that the emperor might suddenly drop dead from excessive indulgence in sex. It seemed that her
prediction might have already come true. Perhaps his body couldn't bear it anymore.
"Come in, Noah," Harper said.
"Good morning, Your Highness."
"Skip the courtesies. Do you have any detail about His Majesty's illness?" asked Harper with curiosity.
Seeing the undisguised schadenfreude on Harper's face, Noah couldn't help but cough to remind her that she shouldn't make
her delight in the emperor's misfortune so obvious. But he quickly remembered Harper's personality, and realized that nothing he
said to her could hold her back from taking pleasure in a moment like this.

"Word has come from the Sleek Palace that His Majesty suddenly passed out. The imperial physicians were all at their wits' end
and didn't know what to do. When His Majesty finally woke up, he was so weak that he needed to stay in bed to recuperate. His
Majesty ordered Crown Prince Felix to take care of state business on his behalf, with the assistance of Grand Secretary Franklin

a glimmer in Harper's eyes. Now that Maxwell had known the reason why none of the women in his mansion had borne any children to him and obtained Harper's help, of course he would take action against the women in his mansion. The reason why his wife remained alive was only to avoid making the emperor appoint any other woman to fill his wife's vacancy anytime soon. "Anabel, go to the storehouse to choose a suitable gift and forward it to General Maxwell's mansion,

"Yes, Your Highness."
"Prepare a nice gift and deliver it to the Kong Clan mansion as well. Caroline is pregnant, but I can't visit her at present. I'll visit
her in person when my own health improves."
"Your Highness, I will deliver the message to Lady Caroline."
"And then..."
"Some news from the River City told us that Your Highness' ready-made garment shop had enjoyed booming business and
Mister Rufus had been busy counting money every day. He asked if Your Highness wishes to open another branch, and he said

amused by this letter he had received from Rufus. He thought that Rufus' insistence and pushiness in asking him to persuade Harper to agree to the proposal were rather shameless. Noah knew perfectly well that Matthew would not let him see the sunrise tomorrow if he said or did anything improper to Harper. Hearing the news, Harper was absolutely delighted. "Oh, really? Business is booming?" "Yes, Mister Rufus said that he has deposited all the profits in the bank, and that Your Highness can withdraw the money by using this token," Noah said, handing a jade token to Harper.
