Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 863

Lilian's sudden arrival startled Sean. He was just about to check up on Harper and Rolando when he was met by her cold stare.

Ever since Lilian came to Great Jade Kingdom, she had always been gentle, kind and friendly. She had never been so cold and fierce, and because of that, Sean couldn't help but feel a little shocked and intimidated. But then he remembered that Rolando and Harper were just friends and there was nothing to hide for them. With that, he immediately made way for Lilian.

There was nothing more than chatting, drinking tea, and playing the zither that was happening in the room that Rolando and Harper were in. Rolando fully knew what would happen if he wouldn't be able to control himself in front of Harper. Thus, even though he loved her so, so much, he wouldn't show it to her or anyone else. As an emperor, it was almost a given that he would be surrounded by beautiful girls and Lilian wouldn't have a say in it.

Lilian stood by the door, carefully eyeing the two people inside. The lady was making tea leisurely and gracefully with her skillful hands, while the man was playing the zither, his eyes full of intense emotions. If an outsider saw them like this, he or she would definitely think that they were a couple who were in paradise. It was exactly because of this that Lilian could not enjoy this otherwise beautiful moment—all she was thinking of doing was pouring hot, scalding tea on Harper's face.

Despite this, Lilian didn't move. It wasn't because she was unwilling to, but because she just didn't have the ability to. She was overwhelmed with so much hatred that she could feel every bone in her body shaking with anger. Before she came to the Harmony Palace, she didn't entertain it, but now that she was seeing what was happening with her own two eyes, she knew that Harper was the woman Rolando was pining for!

As the steam of the hot tea floated in the air, filling the room with the aroma of brewed tea leaves, Rolando stopped playing. Harper put a cup in front of him and said, "Here you go. I made it in the way you like."

Rolando picked the cup up and put it in his mouth. Slowly, he sipped its contents, savoring its taste like it was the last cup of tea he would ever taste. A satisfied smile then appeared on his lips. "After drinking this, I'm afraid that any other tea brewed by others wouldn't taste as good."

Harper smiled. "The music you played is incredible as well. I haven't heard it before, though. What's its name?"

"It's my own composition, and I haven't named it yet. I couldn't think of a name fitting for it, actually. Maybe you can help me? Try naming it," Rolando said serenely.

Before Harper replied, a voice came. "Hmm. For me, it should be named 'Lovesick'. What do you think?" The sudden voice was from Lilian, her tone angry and bitter, breaking the peaceful atmosphere of the room. Rolando visibly frowned the moment he heard Lilian's voice, as if he was unhappy to be disturbed by her. Lilian then added, "Your Majesty. What do you think?"
