Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 600

When Nancy noticed that the empress had accidentally wounded her hand, she walked up to her and held her hand. She then said, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. It's not that His Majesty doesn't care about you anymore. He might just still be holding a grudge because of the Longevity Pills. Just give him some time. I'm sure it won't be long before he forgets about it and immediately forgives you."

"Nancy, His Majesty hasn't come to my residence since his birthday banquet. He is obviously mad at me. I don't know why he couldn't understand that Felix looked for the Longevity Pill just for him. How could he still be upset with Felix?" The empress was furious. She felt even more enraged at the thought that Felix was still under house arrest.

In an attempt to comfort the empress, Nancy responded slowly, "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Felix is grounded right now. Please do not panic. You and His Majesty have been a couple for many years. There is no doubt that he loves you. But he still has to give the officials an explanation. When the appropriate time comes, Crown Prince Felix will be pardoned. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

"I'm just afraid that His Majesty will take this chance to severely act out because of his rage. I wanted to ask him to release Felix for the sake of our long-term marriage. Felix had just been implicated by Walden. Since I'm certain that Felix didn't do it, His Majesty doesn't need to treat him like this." The empress was so mad. Recently, she had been more irritable than usual. Whenever she would lose her temper, it was really hard for her to control it.

Nancy wrapped the empress's wounded hand. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You are still the first lady of the Imperial Palace. That doesn't change at all. It's still easy for you to see His Majesty."

The empress's eyes rolled a little. When she looked at Nancy, however, she instantly calmed down. Too many things had happened recently so she was distracted for a moment. She even forgot her position in the palace and what it entailed. She was still the head of the women's residence in the Imperial Palace. The emperor might not want to see her because he was upset with her. But she could force him to come and see her.

"All of you may leave now," the empress stated while she made a gesture with her hand. At that point, only Nancy was left by her side. Nancy had been with her since childhood, so she believed in her. The empress ordered, "Bring me the medicine."

"You want to take the medicine, Your Majesty?"

"Today, I must see His Majesty. If I can keep him away from Sherry's palace, I would be able to teach her a lesson. No matter how much His Majesty dotes on her, she is still just a lowly concubine, and as the empress, I am still above her," the empress said with gritted teeth.

"But the medicine is extremely harmful to your body—"

Nancy tried to warn her but the empress cut her off and nonchalantly said, "It's not a big deal. I'm not young anymore and Felix has grown up. I don't need another son. It doesn't matter. Just go and get it."

After Cheryl left, she didn't go directly to the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Instead, she took out the spell doll and sincerely prayed three times. Then, she hid it in the Sleek Palace before looking for the imperial physician. It was a crucial time for her plan. If she were to succeed, she would be able to become a noble lady in the future. She would never have to serve anyone again. If the spell were to fail, she would never let go of that bitch, Minna.

Nancy did deserve to be the empress's right hand because of her competence. She didn't go to see the emperor directly. Instead, she went to visit Sherry first. A maid who was responsible for guarding the gates noticed that Nancy was in such a mess. Her eyes were even reddish while she asked to see Sherry. She thought that Nancy had suffered abuse from the empress, so she was coming to ask Sherry for help. For a short while, the maid didn't know what to do.

"Has Lady Sherry gone to bed?" Nancy's voice was not too loud or too soft. It was just enough for the people in the hall to hear her.

At that time, Sherry was having dinner with the emperor. When she heard the noise outside, she immediately frowned deeply. Out of concern, she ordered, "Minna, go outside and have a look. Find out what's happening and why it is so noisy."

"Yes, My Lady." Minna set out in a hurry, but she came back very soon. "Your Majesty, My Lady, it is the chief maid of Her Majesty's household, Nancy, who is at our gate. She said that Her Majesty fainted all of a sudden and she has no idea what to do, so she's begging to see you, My Lady. Please come and help her."
