Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 706

Francis was very pleased with Harper's confession. He waited outside patiently as she went inside the bedroom to try on the clothes. The red robe just seemed perfect for her, revealing her tenderness and charm as a woman.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Harper recalled, "When I got married, I didn't worry about my look in the wedding dress. So I didn't bother to give a careful look at my appearance. Now it seems that I don't look very outstanding in such a dress. What should I do? If Matthew believes that divorce agreement, he will think that I have betrayed him. Then he may even fall in love with another woman. What can I do if things end up that way?"

Forsythia had been so depressed that she wanted to weep. However, after hearing out Harper, she didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. The news they had heard in the Imperial Study hadn't been confirmed yet, but she knew that Harper was very worried.

"Your Highness, His Highness will be fine." Forsythia tried to comfort her. "His Highness is a brave and powerful warrior, and an incredible legend. How could such a man get killed by rascals? His Highness will be back safe and sound."

"Yes, he will be back safe and sound," Harper said. Then she took off the empress's robe. "Inform Francis that the robe fits me well and needn't be modified. And tell him to go back."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Francis was waiting outside joyfully. He imagined how Harper would look in the empress's robe. However, contrary to his expectations, Forsythia came out of the room and not Harper. She said, "Your Highness, Lady Harper has tried on the robe and it fits her well. There is no need for any modifications. Please go back."

Francis' excitement disappeared instantly. For a moment, he didn't react. Forsythia didn't move either. Quite for a while, Francis didn't make a move, and neither did she.

After some time, Francis slowly stood up and walked out. Tomorrow was his wedding day with Harper. There was no need for him to be impatient. It didn't matter if he saw her in the red robe earlier or later. Anyway, he was about to see it soon and there was no need for him to hurry.

As soon as Francis stepped out, Forsythia shut the door in a hurry. Francis took a quick glance back and clenched his fists. The sound from his joints could be heard.

"Your Highness…" Owen looked at Francis cautiously.

"Let's go back. The enthronement ceremony is about to take place tomorrow. We have to be fully prepared for it in case of any unexpected trouble." Although the procession escorting Lilian to the Great Jade Kingdom had informed the news that Matthew had been killed by assassins and his dead body was being sent back to the imperial capital, Francis was still a little worried. He knew Matthew wasn't an ordinary person. Even if Rolando personally took action against Matthew, he might still not be able to kill Matthew. Then how could Matthew get killed by some petty assassins? No matter whether the news was true or false, Francis thought he ought to be well prepared for both scenarios.
