Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 602

"Yes, Your Majesty. Please excuse me." There was no dissatisfaction or jealousy on Sherry's face. As she walked away gracefully, a touch of praise flashed across the emperor's eyes. Noticing the subtle interaction that had just taken place in front of her, the empress was a little embarrassed and her eyes flashed sharply. Sherry was an expert at making concessions in order to gain advantages. In the palace, Sherry had an obedient manner, but she knew exactly what the emperor had in mind.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I'm of no use to you in my current condition."

"Don't stress your brain. There is no important business at hand. I'll keep you company tonight. Sleep well now. I'll sleep outside." The emperor clasped the empress's hand, then went out to wash and went to bed.

"Nancy, take good care of His Majesty," the empress commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"No need for that. Take good care of the empress, okay? If her health declines, I'll hold you responsible." The emperor glared at Nancy. "Did you hear me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After that, the emperor went directly to the outer room and sat down. Cheryl quickly went to him with water and started to wash him. Somehow, the emperor's eyes fell on Cheryl as she served him.

"What's your name?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, my name is Cheryl. Her Majesty gave me this name," Cheryl said submissively with her head lowered. She helped the emperor freshen up and take off his outer robes before going to bed.

The emperor suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Cheryl's arm, pulling her closer to him. Cheryl was shocked and flushed instantly.

"Your scent is very good." The emperor smelled the maid. Then, he asked softly, "How old are you?"

Inside the inner room, the empress pinched her palm so hard that blood oozed out of it. She didn't get a wink of sleep that night. In the outer room, her husband and her personal maid were enjoying themselves with no inhibition. The empress had never hated herself so much before that night. She had induced the emperor to come to her palace at the cost of her own health, but her efforts were now in vain, and had actually benefited only her own maid!

Looking at the empress squeezing her palm so hard that it was bleeding, Nancy felt so infuriated at the maid who was having sex with the emperor. Were they shouting so loudly just to make sure everyone in the palace could hear what they were doing? Didn't they know that the empress was in poor health and needed a good rest?

"Your Majesty." Hearing the sound outside finally die down, Nancy looked at the empress. The latter closed her eyes for a long time in silence, and then said slowly, "I'm fine. You stayed up all night. Just go and have some rest." Her voice was hoarse. Although her face remained expressionless, she hated Cheryl to the core of her heart. She knew the emperor had just surrendered to a whim and was glad to have sex with a young girl. But as long as she was in her palace, the empress would find a way to punish that shameless minx!

The emperor's encounter in the Sleek Palace was not a secret. The emperor had made a night-time visit to the empress, but in the empress's bedroom, he had sex with the empress's personal maid. The news spread throughout the whole imperial palace like a wildfire. When the emperor was absent from the imperial court session in the morning, everyone was curious about what extraordinary abilities the empress's maid had. She must have been quite extraordinary that the emperor missed an imperial court session because of her.

Hearing this news, Sherry made no response, but the look in her eyes revealed her feelings. Everything was out of her expectation but suited her just fine. The emperor favored a maid to such an extent that he missed an imperial court session. This was unprecedented in the country's history. No matter where the fault really lay, historians would blame the whole thing on the empress. After all, the empress had authority over the imperial harem.
