Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 893

Lilian wandered outside of the Harmony Palace, lost, confused, and heartbroken. Even the memory of how she got where she
was muddled. As she came upon the palace gates, she realized how hollow she felt inside, and fear was the only emotion
nestled within her chest. Her body shook hard, as if it was exposed to harshest winter known to man. After taking a deep breath
to regain composure, she began to look up, and that was when she saw the plaque that said "Harmony Palace". It was a sign
written by Rolando himself. Now, as she recalled everything little he had done ever since they met, Lilian realized that he actually
had expressed his love for Harper from the very beginning—it was just no one had paid it any serious thought. It was hard for
anyone to believe that Rolando, who occupied such an esteemed position, would fall in love with a married woman.
"I was so stupid," Lilian murmured helplessly. Once upon a time, she truly believed that Rolando had finally fallen in love with her
after all the efforts she had exerted. Now, she was slapped with the reality that none of that was ever true, and that none of that
would ever happen.
"My Lady, it's going to be alright," Daisy murmured, trying to comfort her master. Deep inside, however, she knew that the wound
caused by such a rejection would take years to heal, if it even did.
"Let's go back," Lilian said sadly and quietly. With her still being in the process of accepting that Rolando would never see her as
a romantic partner, the next thing that was viable for her was to be close to him. 'I will never ask for anything. I just... want to be
close to him,' she thought, as they head back to the Bliss Palace.
When Harper finally woke up, Patrick immediately put its head against her chest. Harper rubbed its head gently and said, "I'm
fine. Don't worry."
"You are not fine. You've frightened everyone," Rolando said in a concerned tone. "Are you hurting anywhere?"

Harper struggled to sit up. The last thing she remembered was her body feeling like it was being torn apart. She must have
fainted during that process because she couldn't remember anything else. "I just feel... sticky, maybe from all the sweating. But I
don't think any part of my body is particularly painful," she responded.
"Well, that's good. I will ask someone to bring some warm water here. You can take a bath as long as you want," Rolando

"That would be nice. Thank you, Rolando," said Harper. After the warm water was sent in, Harper went to take a bath. Forsythia stood by the door, guarding her lady

the contents of the Heavenly Book," she said as she sat opposite him. "Okay," Rolando answered, looking uninterested. "Don't you want to know what it says?" Harper asked eagerly. Rolando, however, merely gazed at her and replied, "If you want to tell me, you will. But if you don't, even if I force you, you won't tell me anything." Harper raised her eyebrows, surprised by the rather snappy attitude Rolando had. Choosing to ignore it, she continued, "The Heavenly Book recorded the cultivation methods of the

Heavenly Books everyone in the world would kill to get a hold of merely recorded the Qin Clan's cultivation methods."
"Well, that's the truth," Harper said as she took a glance at the now singular Heavenly Book lying on the table. She took it and
then began reading for Rolando.
Rolando listened attentively. He had studied the Heavenly Book himself for many years, so although he couldn't translate the
words as smoothly as Harper did, he was still able to read quite a few passages. Because of that, he was able to corroborate
that what Harper was reciting was true. Indeed, this Heavenly Book only recorded the Qin Clan's cultivation methods.
"There was an enchanted barrier around your room. Nobody could get in. Do you have any idea what that was and why that
happened?" Rolando asked softly. Somehow, he still couldn't believe that the secret held by the Heavenly Book within it was just

record of cultivation methods. He was sure that Harper was on the verge of death—they were connected by the Deathly Kalpa, and he felt the immense pain she felt. Harper's finger went over every character in the Heavenly Book as she responded, "That was because the cultivation methods were not fully recorded. There was something wrong when I performed them. Thus, I was counterattacked by its power." Rolando was confused, but he didn't want to press her for answers anymore. He was not sure about whether or not she really suffered

planning on proceeding with the coronation ceremony of the empress. What do you think?" Rolando asked with a
