Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 867

Harper had been sleeping soundly, but before she could even open her eyes, she already felt that someone was looking at her. It ultimately confused her. She wondered if Rolando had finished their imperial court session in the morning. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw Lilian looking at her with a pair of wide-opened eyes.

Sitting up immediately, Harper asked in surprise, "Why did you get up so early? Your face looks a little pale too. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Lilian shook her head and forced a smile. "No, I just didn't sleep well last night. As a matter of fact, I always had nightmares these days," she replied.

Hearing these words, Harper got up and quickly put on a robe over her shoulders. Then she approached Lilian and felt her pulse. "Well, your vital energy and blood flow show that you're fatigued. You also have too much liver-fire. Since you're currently pregnant, it will be better if you don't take any medicine. I'll make a prescription of medicated diet and send it to the kitchen so they can prepare it for you."

Lilian immediately expressed her gratitude. "Thank you very much, Aunt. By the way, I actually came here because I realized you haven't explored the palace here since you arrived. So for today, how about I show you around the palace?"

"That sounds great," Harper responded. After Harper freshened up, she and Lilian had breakfast together before they took an idle walk. Meanwhile, Forsythia was actually worried about Harper, so she closely followed them. Lilian noticed what the maid was doing but didn't say anything about it. In a very lively mood, she simply introduced all the spots and views on their way to Harper.

Harper carefully listened to her. In fact, she was a little concerned about Lilian's behavior last night. Harper had planned to ask her why she had acted that way, but it was hard for her to do so when she saw Lilian's state.

"Are you tired? If you are, we can take a rest for a bit. After all, you're carrying a baby. We've been walking for such a long time. I think it's time for you to have a rest," Harper suggested.

Holding Harper's arm, Lilian said, "Let's go to the pavilion ahead and have a rest there for a while. By the way, Aunt, Uncle Matthew is supposed to arrive soon, right?"

"I had been informed that the envoy's team is approaching the capital. He should arrive soon enough. But they are rather slow. At most, I thought they would arrive one or two days later than I did. But it turns out they still need a few days more to get here," Harper answered immediately.

"You must miss Uncle Matthew very much, right?" Lilian asked in a mischievous tone.

Harper playfully glared at her and complained, "You're making fun of me."

"Everyone knows you and Uncle Matthew love each other very much and have a very active intimate life. I just feel that it's strange how the two of you didn't come to the Great Jade Kingdom together," Lilian asked. Her voice became unusually lower.

But Harper didn't notice it. "I had been treating Wendy's heart disease, so I couldn't leave the imperial capital when Matthew had to set out. But I actually feel that it's strange as well. It's so surprising to me that your uncle will arrive much later than me even though he set out a week earlier."

Lilian's eyes lit up at Harper's words as she suddenly remembered what Francis had said. According to him, Rolando had done everything in order to lure Harper to the capital of the Great Jade Kingdom. Now that Matthew would arrive later, she thought that Rolando had been behind it. It was true that Lilian herself was only a pawn to draw Harper here.
