Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 648

Jason's return to the Imperial Palace brought much joy—a refreshing change to its previously glum atmosphere. As Andy
guarded outside the gates of the Tranquil Hall, he could hear the emperor's hearty laugh. Andy couldn't help but smile. 'Jason
makes His Majesty so happy even if he's not here all year round, ' he thought inwardly.
"Lord Andy, His Majesty seems very happy," Josef, who was standing beside him, said warily.
"Well, His Majesty is spending time with Prince Jason. You should go and see the former empress off. His Majesty wants to give
her some dignity. Prepare everything for her and let her choose one way." Andy gnashed his teeth when he recalled how much
humiliation the empress had brought to him while the emperor was in a coma. Now the empress had no way to fight back, so
Andy retaliated against her for everything that she had done.
In the Cold Palace, the empress sat on the small bed in silence. The Cold Palace was deserted and tattered and its windows had
leaks, but at the very least, it was still a place to live. Upon entrance to the Cold Palace, the empress quickly realized that this
was a horrible place as even the lowest servants did not respect her at all.
When Josef arrived with his fellows, the empress curled up in bed. Her eyes were closed and she was just pretending to sleep.
Her once glowing face was now haggard and gaunt. "Gloria Huang, His Majesty was generous enough to spare you your dignity.
He instructed me to prepare these things for you. You may choose one."
The former empress narrowed her eyes as her body trembled. She said coldly, "His Majesty is going to kill me!"
"Gloria, you are unpardonably guilty. His Majesty does not want to kill you and is even generous enough to give you some
dignity. Don't complain anymore. For your own sake, just choose one. It's only going to be too humiliating if we do it for you."
Josef snorted. Back in the Imperial Palace, the empress had been so lofty and arrogant. She would make a fuss even though the
servants made the slightest mistake. Now the empress was no better than the lowest servant.
She came down from her bed and stood up. "After being his wife for more than 20 years, I can't believe he would be so cruel as
to kill me!"
"Humph!" Josef sneered. "Gloria, don't say that. You know it was you who wanted to murder His Majesty first. His Majesty
offered to protect your dignity. You should be grateful!"
"Lady Sherry, greetings." All the servants spoke with one voice.
"Arise. I'm here to see the former empress."

Sherry came in, looking elegant in her dress. With a kind smile on her face, she said, "Josef."
"Lady Sherry, good day. May I ask what you're doing here? This is no place for you to be as it may bring bad luck. What if

something bad happens? If you have anything to do, feel free to tell me and I will do it for you," Josef offered.
Minna, who had come along with Sherry, handed a piece of silver to Josef and said, "Lord Josef, Lady Sherry wants to talk with
the former empress in private."
"Got it. Got it. Let's go out and wait." Josef immediately led all the servants out.
Gloria, the deposed empress, gazed at Sherry, hatred filling her heart. "What? Did you just come here to relish from my misery?"
"Of course, I love seeing you like this." Sherry stood still as she eyed Gloria. In a cold voice, she said, "Once upon a time, you
were the empress. As the head of the imperial harem, you looked down on everyone and treated us harshly. You acted noble

If you intend to fight for the throne on behalf of your son, you will only get on his bad side. If that happens, you're going to end up in the Cold Palace too." Sherry covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sneered. "Your Majesty, don't be so emotional. Even though you made my life miserable, I still did you a big favor." "A favor?" Gloria was puzzled. "Yes, I helped you a lot. If without my help, did you really think that His Majesty would be attracted to

Sherry grinned even wider. "Your Majesty, don't slander me!" "Sherry, you are a cunning woman. You set me up on purpose. You're the one who put His Majesty in a coma and aroused my desire. Then you asked Francis to provoke Felix which made us want to be disloyal to His Majesty and try

other day, you purposely went to the Tranquil Hall, right? You didn't just come to plead for your son, did you?" Gloria now finally
understood. She had thought that as long as she had power in her hands, no one would be disloyal. She didn't expect that all
this time, she had been a pawn in Sherry's plans.
"Wow, Sherry, I'm impressed."
"I'm flattered." Sherry turned around. "I came here today to see you off. After all, we have been friends for many years. Have a
good journey and take it easy. Your son will follow you soon. Just make sure you walk slowly on your way to the netherworld so
that your son will be able to catch up with you."
"You bitch! What a vicious woman!" Gloria pounced on Sherry in an attempt to grab her. Luckily, Sherry dodged in time. Gloria
was awkwardly thrown off to the floor. As she struggled to get up, Sherry stepped on her.
"Bitch? Vicious woman? Were you describing yourself? You were the empress for more than 20 years. I know you stained your
hands with lots of people's blood. My first child was killed by you and even then, you still didn't stop. When I gave birth to
Francis, you tried to kill him but you just couldn't find the chance. Then you bribed the monk and told His Majesty secretly that my
child was born to rebel. You instructed him to hurt my son in secret. Do you really think that I'm just going to let you go that
easily?" Sherry's dignified face was filled with ferocity and hatred. "My son spent 15 years in the wheelchair, bed-ridden. All those
years, I suffered day in and day out. This suffering you're experiencing now is nothing. How is that in any way equal to the 15

Sherry had slapped Gloria across the face mercilessly. "My son is doing much better now. He still has a long life ahead of him!" "Haha! His Majesty has been poisoning him for years! He's so weak that he could drop dead any day now. Long life ahead of him? That's ridiculous. No matter how smart and vicious you are, Sherry, you still

she could barely breathe. "Sherry, I'll
