Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 846

They put stones on the board one after the other. However, Miguel was becoming a little slower in taking his turn. And Harper was a little impatient, so she picked up the book beside her and continued reading while playing the game with him.

When Miguel saw that, he turned ghastly pale. He didn't know what to say. He had been trapped in a little bit of trouble because of Harper's move, and he didn't know how to find a way out. In each of his turn, he would think for a long time before placing a stone. But Harper would drop one so quickly that it seemed like she didn't need time to think. It was making the self-proclaimed "expert in Go" feel hot on his face.

"I surrender!" Miguel threw the stone back into the container, feeling a little upset. "Your Highness, are you even a human? You weren't concentrating on the game but you even cornered me! And I considered myself to be an expert in Go!"

Harper glanced at Miguel frostily. "If Rolando played this game with me, he wouldn't be like you."

"His Majesty has been playing Go since he was a child. How can I ever compare to him?"

"Well then, Zack wouldn't play this game like you did."

"The young grand secretary of your nation?" The expression on Miguel's face turned dark. He was the new prime minister of the Great Jade Kingdom, and Zack was the grand secretary of the Bright Dynasty. Obviously, what Harper just said indicated that he was as capable as Zack.

"You know, everyone has their own strengths. I am not good at playing Go. Most especially, I am inferior to the ones who are especially good at tricks and manipulation."

"So did you acquire your current position just because of your charming face?" Harper sarcastically asked. But her words made Miguel furious, as if she had stepped on his injured foot.

"Harper Chu, don't push me too far!"

"What if I do? What are you going to do to me?" Harper asked without even raising her head to look at him.

Miguel felt defeated right away. At his prime, he was able to go against Harper, but he might not be a match for her at that moment. What was more, there were a lot of secret guards outside. Once they received a command from Harper, they would pick at his bones as if he were a mere animal.

"How long will it take to get to the capital?" Miguel lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. "This is Fancy City, not far from the capital."

Harper turned her head to look as well. She saw the prosperous city with people coming and going, greeting each other with a smile. "Rolando is such a good emperor," she delightedly said.

"Of course, His Majesty is always a wise man. He is very talented in leading the country. He is also an intelligent and sensible emperor. Someone like him only comes to the Great Jade Kingdom once in a thousand years." Miguel actually felt lucky to serve the kind of emperor that Rolando was.
