Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 631

"Uncle Matthew, Grand Secretary Franklin and others have arrived," he told him.
"I see," Matthew replied nonchalantly inside the carriage. After that, everyone heard him waking up Harper. A few moments later,
Harper got off the carriage and seemed to be just half awake.
"Aunt Harper," Felix said.
"Your Highness," Harper politely replied, nodding her head. "Your Highness, would you please choose several officials to enter
with me? Although the officials have the right to know about His Majesty's condition, His Majesty needs a peaceful environment
right now. So please select a small number of representatives. Otherwise, we may risk irritating him if too many people come
inside at once."
"Okay," Felix quickly replied. Then, he proceeded to call out the names of a few officials.
"Uncle Allen, Grand Secretary Franklin, General Maxwell, and Marquis Travis, please come inside with us."
"Yes, Your Highness," all of them replied at once.
Harper and Matthew were walking in front of everyone. No one made any comment regarding this and they all just quietly
followed them inside. The empress was sitting at the bedside. Seeing the people coming in, she immediately tried to wipe her
tears dry. That being said, no one could actually tell whether there were any real tears or not.
"Harper, hurry up and check on His Majesty. He has been unconscious the entire time. I'm worried about him," the empress cried
out at once as she took the emperor's hand in hers, seeming like such an affectionate wife. If Harper didn't know that they were
never really such a loving couple, she would have probably believed that the relationship they shared was actually this good.
'What a good actress she is!' Harper couldn't help thinking.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will check His Majesty's pulse and diagnose his condition right away," Harper said at once.
As it turned out, she could be quite the actress as well.

Hearing that, someone fetched a stool, and placed it on the bedside for Harper to use. She sat down immediately to feel the
emperor's pulse. While doing this, she suddenly furrowed her eyebrows. Noticing this, the empress felt so nervous that her
eyelids were twitching. "What's wrong with him, Harper?" she asked anxiously, afraid that Harper might have noticed something
wrong.

something that could not be revealed to anyone. "Harper, how is His Majesty's condition?" Allen asked, sounding so worried. "Please don't worry too much. His Majesty's condition will be all right. It doesn't seem to be anything serious. He has just fallen ill, as ordinary people would. The imperial physician is right. All he needs is to get a good amount of rest and he'll be waking up in a few days," Harper flatly replied. She decided not to expose the empress's lie. Hearing that, the empress was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief deep inside. "His Majesty is always busy with his work day in and day out, and he is often reading over the reports from officials every single day. I have been trying so hard to convince him to get some rest, but he just wouldn't listen to me. Now I know that he has become ill due to overexertion," the empress remarked as she turned on the waterworks. From what she

When she heard this, the empress was rather surprised and, quite frankly, pleased. So much so that she completely forgot that
she was pretending to cry. After a while, she pulled herself together and answered, "That is so kind of you, Harper. Since you are
willing to pray for His Majesty in the Holy Chant Temple, I think it's definitely a good idea. I will never object to that. Bring more
guards along and be careful whenever you go out. It's not safe outside these days."
"Don't worry. I will go there with her," Matthew interjected.
The empress was walking on air when she heard Harper offering to leave the imperial capital. On top of that, hearing Matthew
volunteer to accompany her, she couldn't possibly be any more thrilled. With the two of them out of the imperial capital, she
thought she and Felix could take the opportunity to get rid of the ones who didn't support them before the emperor woke up.

And there are many affairs that need to be taken care of. If Prince Matthew leaves the imperial capital during such a time, I'm afraid..." someone chimed in and voiced out his concern. "Grand Secretary Franklin is still here. He can

answered. "Well, you couple just love each other very much, so I think your request is just reasonable. It is true that if Harper were to stay outside by herself without you protecting her, she may end up getting in danger. All right. Matthew, you should accompany Harper to the Holy Chant Temple. Franklin, Maxwell, Allen, and Travis, please help Felix with the state affairs. I appreciate your kindness," the empress said right away before Matthew could get the chance to change his mind. Specifically, she did
