Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 660

At that time, Zack visited Harper at Matthew's mansion. He wanted to apologize for failing to keep his promise of taking her back
home the other day. At the same time, he wanted to gather some information from her.
"Harper, I'm really sorry for what happened the other day. I thought my duties would end early, so I was very confident that I

a sincere apology, implying to Harper that Jason had a problem.
"You don't have to worry about it. Matthew came to pick me up a little later," Harper plainly said. She then pushed the washed
cherries closer to him and added, "These cherries are fresh and they taste really sweet. I like them very much. Take one and try
it."
While still looking at her, Zack picked up a cherry and put it into his mouth. "Indeed, it is very sweet."
"I heard that the officials had a big argument in the session hall today. Was it troublesome for you since you're the future grand
secretary of the Cabinet?" Harper asked while she gestured for him to eat more cherries.
Zack turned to look at Harper who was obviously taking great pleasure in his misfortune. With a gentle smile, he said, "It has
nothing to do with me. Why should I be bothered by that? Prime Minister Philip reported today that the imperial harem should

"Well, did the emperor agree to that proposal?"
Zack shook his head with a smile. "No, he didn't. The ministers and courtiers actually had different opinions about this matter.
Some believed that the emperor should marry a new empress, while some people thought that Lady Sherry should be appointed

"The officials who expressed their views at the session today must have been severely scolded." "That's right. When His Majesty was in the Golden Hall, he was so furious that he reprimanded Prime Minister Philip for meddling in the affairs of the imperial harem. He even asked Philip if he wanted to be the

Philip's pale face. He couldn't help but feel entertained about that thought.
"But His Majesty has always been fond of Philip. Why did he scold him like that today?" Harper was confused. Was the
emperor's condition getting worse than she had expected?
In fact, Zack was a little worried and it showed in his face. "Recently, His Majesty has changed a lot. He would strike or swear at
the officials for the most minor reasons. Now, all of the officials are as mute as a fish, for fear that they will anger His Majesty and
lose their life. By the way, I recently heard that most of the servants in the Tranquil Hall were changed. Because they were
