Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 569

"It's almost dinner time. Are you going to stay for dinner?" the empress earnestly asked. It was already winter at that time so the gates of the Imperial Palace were being locked relatively early. If Felix wanted to stay for dinner, she would have the servants prepare it earlier.

"No, I have something to deal with. I'm leaving now." At the thought of his wife being in tears, Felix could already feel a headache. After all, she was his wife and he couldn't just turn a blind eye to her. Moreover, he had already found a good reason to put up with her. She was from the Yang Clan whose power was pretty significant. Since Matthew didn't want to accept his respect and liked to play it the hard way, Felix didn't have to be so polite. He had to take advantage of the power that he had.

"Okay, Felix, take care of yourself. It's freezing outside." The empress didn't insist that he stay. Felix had his own beliefs and ideas, but sometimes he could be a bit reckless. So, she felt like she still needed to guide him. However, when it came to Matthew, she and her son had never dared to be careless. In this regard, she felt somewhat at ease.

"Mother, I got it," Felix briefly responded.

He was about to leave when the empress stopped him again. "Another thing. Even if you're busy, don't neglect your wife. She is your wife after all. But most importantly, the support of her clan is important for you. You'll need their support when the time comes. Don't forget that."

"I understand. Don't worry, Mother. I'll take care of her."

Upon leaving the Sleek Palace, Felix directly made his way to the gates of the Imperial Palace. On the way, he met Lucas who came to the palace to greet the emperor. Lucas was holding a little fox in his arms, and when he saw Felix, he rushed to greet him. "Felix, good evening. Did you go and see your mother?"

"Yes." Felix nodded. Only then did he notice the little fox in Lucas' arms. He then asked, "Where did you get that little thing?"

Lucas then held up the fox, so Felix could see it a little better. "Several days ago, it was snowing heavily and a hunter caught it. I thought that it looked very lovely. Thus, I bought it. The color of its fur is very unique and its quality is one of a kind. Although it cost me one thousand taels of silver, it's worth it. This little being understands human beings as well."

Felix picked up the little fox from Lucas' hand and said, "I'll pay two thousand taels for it. You can send someone to my mansion to pick up the money later."

"Well, Felix, it was very difficult for me to find this. And I know it's only been two days, but the little fox and I have already formed a bond." Lucas was dumbfounded as he stared at Felix who held the little fox in his arms and was walking away fast.
