"Bring me the pills, Andy," the emperor ordered. Since he could not get any useful information from Harper, he was left with no
other choice but to give up trying. After all, he had something much more important for her to take care of.
When Andy handed over a box to the emperor, Harper glanced at it and thought that it seemed familiar. That was the box for the
Longevity Pills which Felix had given the emperor during his birthday banquet.
"Let Harper have a look at the pills."
"Yes, Your Majesty." With that, Andy quickly handed the box of Longevity Pills over to Harper. Taking out the pill, she placed it on
the palm of her hand.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to examine the pills?"
"Yes," the emperor flatly replied, nodding his head in response. "Felix and his mother poisoned me with the intention of
murdering me. These Longevity Pills were given to me by Felix. I'm afraid that these pills actually contain poison, so I would like
you to check on them for me. After all, I know that you have excellent medical skills."
Hearing this, Harper could not help but sneer at him deep inside. She had never really thought that the emperor trusted in her
medical skills that much before, nor had he been so amiable toward her. Whenever the two of them met in the past, the emperor
had a look in his eyes as though he wanted to rip her into shreds.
After carefully examining the pill, Harper reassured him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You can keep taking the pills, and they will
actually be good for your recovery. But it seems that there are not many left. If you don't mind, is it okay if I take a pill back for
research and see if I can reproduce this Longevity Pill?"
"That's fine. Go ahead and take one with you. Are you one hundred percent certain that there's nothing wrong with the pills?"

The emperor couldn't help feeling worried. Only when people grew older would they become more afraid of dying. In particular,
the emperor had been at death's door this time. As a result, he was much more afraid of death and came to hate Felix and the
empress more.
"There is nothing wrong with them."

able to breathe a sigh of relief. "I've made up my mind to strip Gloria of her title as the empress. But, considering that she is my wife, in order to help her save

said, "I heard that you are expecting. Now..." "Your Majesty, that was merely a false positive diagnosis," Harper cut him off before he could continue. "I have already checked my own pulse. I'm not pregnant. It might only look that way because I ate something weird." "You're not pregnant?" the emperor asked in surprise. Then, he glanced at Matthew. For some reason or other, he suddenly burst out laughing. "Matthew, it seems that you haven't worked hard enough. You have already been married for one year, but you still don't have a child. People will grow suspicious, you know? You aren't getting any younger. Maybe it's time for you to get several more women." "I appreciate your concern, Your Majesty. But I plan to only have one wife in my lifetime, and that is Harper. As for children, it doesn't matter whether or not I will have any," Matthew lightly said, sounding as if he really couldn't care

However, Harper felt that something seemed to be quite amiss. From the moment she was falsely diagnosed to be pregnant due
to the effect of the Terminalia Chebula, Matthew had been acting weird. Later when he found out that she wasn't really pregnant,
he turned out be quite relieved, as if it was a good thing that she didn't get pregnant. With these thoughts running through her
head, Harper began feeling a little uneasy.
"Nonsense! You are a prince of the royal family and you are not allowed to give up having descendants. Harper, you have to
understand that you will be considered as an unqualified wife if you can't bear a son for Matthew. Matthew is almost thirty years
old, but he has yet to have a child. You should be considerate to him," the emperor slowly said, shifting his gaze toward Harper.
"I agree with you on that matter, Your Majesty," Harper smiled. 'If His Highness still doesn't have a son when he is thirty years
old, I'm going to have to persuade him to take concubines. Please do not worry about that, Your Majesty."
