Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 860

"Aunt," Lilian mumbled, feeling a little embarrassed. "His Majesty doesn't like to be disturbed when he is dealing with business."

"Alright, alright. I'm just kidding. Don't worry. It was just a group of rabbles. Your man is safe and sound."

Hearing that, Lilian looked less worried. "Didn't you say you just wanted to have a walk around the palace today? Why did you two go out?"

"I don't know, either. Rolando told me that he didn't want to show me around the palace because I could do that on my own, so he wanted to take me to walk around the capital. He even didn't take a guard! We were targeted and ambushed as soon as we went out of the palace." While Harper was speaking, it suddenly occurred to her that Rolando had done all this on purpose. The reason why he had taken herself out of the palace for fun was because he wanted to lure the assassins to show up. "Your man was really using me to his heart's desire, huh," she said, sounding annoyed.

Lilian was struck dumb by Harper's sudden change in tone. But then she figured it out very soon. Rolando had gone out of the palace with Harper in an attempt to bait his enemies so that he could get rid of them all in one net. She knew that Rolando must be dealing with the follow-up matter at the moment.

With this, the load on Lilian's mind vanished in an instant. She had thought that Rolando treated Harper too specially, but now she knew that he was just doing that as a tactic to get rid of threats against him. "Don't be angry, Aunt. For His Majesty to have done that, he must have been sure of your safety. He won't put you in danger."

"I'm not angry because he used me to lure his enemies out. I'm angry only because it seemed like he didn't care about his own life. What if I knew nothing about martial arts and became a burden? What would he do?" Harper said angrily.

"Aunt, how could you be a burden to His Majesty? He must have been familiar with the full extent of your skills," Lilian said, holding Harper's hand. "By the way, when will Uncle Matthew arrive?"

Harper thought for a while. "Now that you mentioned, I feel like something strange is going on with him. He left the imperial capital of the Bright Dynasty several days earlier than me, but he's still not here. Even though I took a shortcut, I shouldn't have arrived so much earlier than him. I wonder if something has happened to him on the way." Harper was worried about Matthew. Also, Patrick was with Diana. She forgot to take it with her because she had been too hasty to come to the palace.

"Don't worry, Aunt. Uncle is an extremely capable man. Only a very select few people in the world can hurt him. He must have been delayed because of something else. I'm sure he'll arrive very soon," Lilian said without hesitation. "Besides, the day of my coronation ceremony is only a few days away. I'm sure Uncle is working to arrive here before that."

"You're going to be granted the title of empress of the Great Jade Kingdom. Rolando even sent a special invitation letter to the Bright Dynasty about that. His Majesty really cares about this event very much, so don't worry. He hasn't forgotten about you," Harper said in a soft tone. "I know Rolando is very outstanding, but you're not inferior to him. After becoming the empress, don't worry about yourself too much. You should be confident and own the role of being the hostess of the palace. You used to be free and easy when you were in the Bright Dynasty, but now I think you are restraining yourself too hard."
