Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 872

Rolando stood up and got out of the pool. Before he left, he turned to Harper and said, "You can stay and continue to soak yourself in here. I will find the antidote."

"Rolando..." Harper called out. "We're friends, aren't we?"

Rolando didn't answer her question, but instead, he just continued walking away. He didn't want to be just friends with her. In the beginning, it was true that he had actually wanted to be her friend, and at the same time, to use her in unraveling the secrets of the Qin Clan. Now, he completely understood his feelings. So he couldn't tell her that they were friends. What he wanted was to make Harper his woman. A friendship with her would never suffice.

Rolando went straight to the Bliss Palace where Lilian was embroidering clothes for their unborn child. She was aware of everything that had happened in the Harmony Palace. When the imperial physician arrived there, Rolando left the palace with Harper in his arms. She was happy about everything, but she was also a little worried so she couldn't focus on her embroidery project. By accident, she pricked her hand with the needle.

"Hiss!"

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Daisy asked in a rush.

Noticing some blood dripping from her fingertip, Lilian put down the embroidery pad and wiped her fingers with a handkerchief. "I'm fine. It's just a small wound."

But Daisy was still so worried and was about to get some medicines. But as soon as she turned around, she saw Rolando standing by the door. She couldn't see his expression because it was being obscured by the door's shadow, but she recognized him at first sight. At once, she respectfully greeted, "Your Majesty."

Lilian stood up and bowed. "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

Rolando stepped into the room and turned to Lilian with a cold stare. Daisy looked at Lilian with so much anxiousness. Lilian commanded right away, "Daisy, you may leave now and close the door."

"Yes, Your Highness." Daisy left at once.

Rolando passed by Lilian and sat in the host's seat. He stared at her with the same coldness in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Lilian was very nervous, but the expression on her face looked so calm. However, the hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling a little.

"I heard that something happened in the Harmony Palace. How is my aunt?"

Surprised by Rolando's glare, Lilian stepped back a little. She almost thought that he was going to kill her. But thinking of her pregnancy and that she was the only woman by his side, she had a little more courage.
