Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 32

"Congratulations!" Harper clapped. But she thought that Hailey was such a fool. Katrina had always been favored by the emperor even if she was without a child. As it was, Hailey had always been the one who mainly tended to her. Now that Chloe requested a sudden change of physicians, she was up to something. Hailey was a fool to not have realized this.

"Lady Chloe is pregnant. You must be careful," Charles warned. He had been in politics to know that something was up. "If you do have any problems, go ask Lady Katrina for help."

"I know, Father."

"Or you could find another imperial physician to take care of Lady Chloe with you. This way, you'll be more relieved by exhausting duties," Charles suggested. People in the Imperial Palace had been known to resort to ruthless means in murdering their enemies. Getting rid of an unborn baby would be a piece of cake. If Hailey walked into their traps, the Chu Clan would suffer great losses. It would be even harder for Katrina to stay in the palace alone.

"Lady Katrina's afraid of problems coming with Lady Chloe's pregnancy, so she dares not send any other physician to Lady Chloe. After all, Lady Chloe specifically requested me to take care of her. But I am afraid of what other people would do to Lady Chloe." Hailey lowered her voice to a whisper. The emperor had always been greatly attached to the child ever since Chloe announced her pregnancy. If Chloe gave birth to the child, she'd be promoted to a higher position. If there was a mistake in the process of her pregnancy, it would be by the hands of the other concubines.

"Be careful."

"Yes, Father."

Harper ate her food, pretending as if she hadn't heard their conversations. Charles had always shown his favor towards Hailey and Felicia in front of her all these years, so she was used to it. Her old self would've felt bitter about it, but now, she felt detached by the matter.

"By the way, how is Lady Katrina?" Charles asked. Suddenly it occurred to him that Mavis asked Harper to go to the Imperial Palace.

"Lady Katrina is doing great, but she misses Grandma and Father so much," Hailey smiled. "Lady Katrina even asked me to bring a piece of invaluable ginseng for Grandma."

"That's so kind of her." Mavis grinned. Though her daughter was an imperial concubine, she still cared for her health.

"Does His Majesty often go to Lady Katrina's place?" Charles asked. The emperor always loved beautiful women.
