Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 631

"Uncle Matthew, Grand Secretary Franklin and others have arrived," he told him.

"I see," Matthew replied nonchalantly inside the carriage. After that, everyone heard him waking up Harper. A few moments later, Harper got off the carriage and seemed to be just half awake.

"Aunt Harper," Felix said.

"Your Highness," Harper politely replied, nodding her head. "Your Highness, would you please choose several officials to enter with me? Although the officials have the right to know about His Majesty's condition, His Majesty needs a peaceful environment right now. So please select a small number of representatives. Otherwise, we may risk irritating him if too many people come inside at once."

"Okay," Felix quickly replied. Then, he proceeded to call out the names of a few officials.

"Uncle Allen, Grand Secretary Franklin, General Maxwell, and Marquis Travis, please come inside with us."

"Yes, Your Highness," all of them replied at once.

Harper and Matthew were walking in front of everyone. No one made any comment regarding this and they all just quietly followed them inside. The empress was sitting at the bedside. Seeing the people coming in, she immediately tried to wipe her tears dry. That being said, no one could actually tell whether there were any real tears or not.

"Harper, hurry up and check on His Majesty. He has been unconscious the entire time. I'm worried about him," the empress cried out at once as she took the emperor's hand in hers, seeming like such an affectionate wife. If Harper didn't know that they were never really such a loving couple, she would have probably believed that the relationship they shared was actually this good. 'What a good actress she is!' Harper couldn't help thinking.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will check His Majesty's pulse and diagnose his condition right away," Harper said at once. As it turned out, she could be quite the actress as well.

Hearing that, someone fetched a stool, and placed it on the bedside for Harper to use. She sat down immediately to feel the emperor's pulse. While doing this, she suddenly furrowed her eyebrows. Noticing this, the empress felt so nervous that her eyelids were twitching. "What's wrong with him, Harper?" she asked anxiously, afraid that Harper might have noticed something wrong.

Without giving her a response, she tried to feel the pulse of the emperor's other hand. "What did the imperial physician say?" she asked.

"According to the imperial physician, His Majesty has been physically weak and ill many times before. That's why he has been feeling so weak all the time. But as long as he has some much-needed rest, he should be waking up soon," the empress carefully said. Needless to say, the diagnosis of the imperial physician was not real. The truth was that the emperor had fallen ill because of having too much sex. But this was something that could not be revealed to anyone.

"Harper, how is His Majesty's condition?" Allen asked, sounding so worried.

"Please don't worry too much. His Majesty's condition will be all right. It doesn't seem to be anything serious. He has just fallen ill, as ordinary people would. The imperial physician is right. All he needs is to get a good amount of rest and he'll be waking up in a few days," Harper flatly replied. She decided not to expose the empress's lie. Hearing that, the empress was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief deep inside.
