Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 707

The new emperor's enthronement was a big event. All of the civil and military officials had long been waiting in the Imperial Palace for the new emperor to hold the inauguration ceremony in the Temple of Heaven. The old emperor had passed away several days ago, but the new emperor was yet to ascend the throne. Worried as the officials were, the new emperor was, at last, willing to take the throne. Although it was quite absurd for Prince Matthew's wife, Harper to become the empress, they had no choice but to accept the fact for the sake of the imperial court's steady status.

After all, the empress could be stripped of her status. Once the new emperor had successfully ascended the throne, they would find fault with Harper in the future and force the new emperor to drive her out.

Maxwell thought that things were going so smoothly, but since Franklin had retired, it was very difficult for him to lower his level and ask Zack. That being said, he was a straightforward man, so he had hard trouble keeping the words to himself. In the end, he decided to move closer toward Zack.

"Lord Zack, do you feel that the atmosphere is quite dignified today?" Maxwell asked, trying his best to act natural.

"General, today is the day the new emperor ascends the throne, so the atmosphere is naturally dignified. After all, this is a very significant event. How could it be not dignified?" Zack replied with a gentle smile.

You little fox! Maxwell cursed deep inside. As far as he was concerned, Zack was much harder to deal with than his father. He was such a cunning man, and always performed well whenever he was doing his job. The people of the Bu Clan were all cunning foxes, but Zack was more cunning than his father!

"I'm just curious. The Imperial Palace seems to be heavily guarded today."

"Given that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, no mistake is allowed. Of course, the palace is heavily guarded."

At that moment, Maxwell really wanted to slap Zack across the face hard. 'Why are you acting like such a cunning fox? Why haven't you learned from anyone other than your father? That man is so cunning and slick. Would it kill you to say something and make a guess?

You little fox!' he screamed in his heart. Then, he was no longer interested in talking to Zack.

A faint smile appeared on Zack's lips. "I heard that your wife succumbed to her illness a few days ago."

Maxwell turned frigid, and then responded in a serious tone, "Yes, we didn't want to disturb others because it was close to the old emperor's funeral. And we had her buried peacefully."

Zack gave him a peculiar smile. As for Maxwell, he felt so uncomfortable seeing his smile, but when he thought that they supported the same person, he was somewhat relieved. No wonder Zack became friends with Harper; he was just as heartless and cunning as her.
