Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 879

When Rolando woke up, he couldn't see Harper anywhere, so he immediately panicked. "Is there anyone here?"

Hearing his voice, Harper who was taking a nap in the outer room, got up, and went to him. "How are you feeling?" she asked.

With one foot on the ground, Rolando had already thrown away the quilt. He felt relieved at the mere sight of Harper who was approaching him. "I thought you were gone."

Harper poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Rolando. "It is true that I want to leave, but I can't do that unless your men are willing to let me go."

Rolando took the cup of tea in his hands without saying anything. He understood why Harper wanted to leave the Imperial Palace. But he also knew that he just couldn't let her go at the moment.

In a soft voice, Rolando asked, "Can you stay in the palace with me for a few more days? If you want the Heavenly Book, I can give it to you."

Harper didn't say a word in response. Since Rolando had suddenly changed his attitude, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. So she had no other choice but to remain silent. The Harmony Palace was surrounded by multiple layers of protection with numerous guards in each layer, so not even flies could enter. For Harper, getting out of the palace was as difficult as reaching heaven.

"Your Majesty, I just got news from the Bliss Palace that Lady Lilian is not feeling well." Sean's voice came from the outside.

"If she's not feeling well, she should call for an imperial physician and not me. I can't help her," Rolando impassively said, as if Lilian meant nothing to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm going to call for an imperial physician for Lady Lilian right away," Sean said. He then left in a hurry. Rolando had been irritable since yesterday. Although his tone while speaking was still calm and composed, Sean was sensible enough to figure out his emotional instability at that moment.

After he left, Harper sighed and said, "She's still your woman and she's carrying your child right now. You'd better go and see her."

Rolando didn't respond to Harper's suggestion. Instead, he slowly asked, "Harper, if I can find out who's behind the plot against us, how are you going to deal with that person?"

Harper frowned while fondling with Patrick in her arms. The creature was sleeping soundly with its four legs facing the sky. It seemed to enjoy Harper's touch very much. "We've already caught her and she's in prison now."

Upon hearing what Harper said, Rolando immediately understood that she didn't want to hold Lilian accountable. However, he couldn't just let her go that easily. He had long been thinking of an excuse, and this time, Lilian provided him with a great one herself. Rolando believed that Lilian was asking for it, and he wouldn't show mercy to her.

After he put on his clothes and shoes, he said, "Now that you don't want to make anyone else accountable, I'll forget about it too. I have a lot of reports to review today, so I'm leaving now. And, thank you for detoxifying me."
