Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 847

Instead of going into the imperial capital of the Great Jade Kingdom, Harper chose to live in a house at the peaceful outskirt. She
was about to contact Matthew. Her arrival wasn't a secret anymore as Miguel had already known of her existence. And thus she
considered it unnecessary to hide behind the shadows.
One night, however, Harper had an unexpected guest turn up. As soon as the man arrived, the twelve secret guards protecting
her immediately showed up with their weapons, ready to fight. The man, however, sat quietly in the backyard, enjoying the
evening breeze, fully unintimidated by the warriors in front of him. The twelve were stunned: First, they didn't know how the man
was able to enter their master's yard without being spotted, and second, they didn't understand how he could be so calm with all
of their swords pointed at him.
Harper quickly ran to the door to see what was happening. The moment she opened it and looked outside, she felt her heart skip
a beat. "Rolando!" she exclaimed happily. "It's you!"
A profound smile appeared on Rolando's lips. "Harper!" he responded excitedly. All of a sudden, however, the expression on his
face became grim. "Your men are such horrible people," he said, glaring at the men surrounding him. "When I heard that you are
living in a lovely house at the outskirt, I prepared the delicious food and drinks that I know you will enjoy. Then, I came here to
personally deliver them to you and see how you're doing, but as soon as I step foot in here, your men surrounded me like I'm a
trespassing criminal. They won't even let me make a sound!"
Harper could not help but smile. "Are you sure that's what you came for?" she playfully teased as she approached Rolando. "It
seems like you came here in the middle of the night to simply bluff my guards."

"I have prepared a special wine for you!" Rolando replied, evading Harper's question equally playfully. "Do you know that this
concoction is exclusive to the Great Jade Kingdom? Here! Try it!" He shook the bottle in front of Harper's face as if to entice her.
Harper chuckled and nodded her head. Before she sat down to drink, she ordered her twelve secret guards to leave. When they

is how would I not know who has entered the Great Jade Kingdom?" Harper laughed. "That is true," she said as she sipped wine from her cup. Rolando's tone suddenly became serious. "But Harper,

have not arrived yet, I can't go in first," she explained. It was the perfect excuse for her. Rolando sighed deeply. "Indeed, that is the protocol," he admitted, sounding defeated. He then put food on Harper's plate and said, "Taste our famous dishes and see if you like them." Harper took a small bite and said, "I never knew that the dishes here in Great Jade Kingdom would have this spicy kick. I really like this. It's delicious!" Rolando's eyes widened with happiness. His expression was so tender that it

to all the things he brought.
"Ah, are you talking about the hotpot?" Harper asked.
"Yes," Rolando replied. "It was a pity that I was a monk back then. Also, I was injured so I couldn't really eat the spicy soup pot
and was only allowed to taste the clear soup. You know what? I have asked people to cook it for me several times, but none of
the tastes has come close to the one that I'm craving." A deep kind of sadness was shining through his eyes. "You must have a
secret recipe for it because no one else could recreate it!"
"I'm very flattered," Harper responded, amused by what she was hearing from Rolando. "But have you considered that maybe
the way you remember how that food tasted like was influenced by the experience you had back then?"

"I think so. At that time, I didn't have to worry about so many things. But now..." His voice trailed off. After a few moments, he spoke again. "The experiences I've had when I was a monk are very different from what I am experiencing now as an emperor." "I think it's incredible how you adapted and changed yourself to live the life you're living now," Harper slowly replied. "To be honest, before, I was worried about whether or not you could get things under control once you go back to your country
