Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 885

'Her business has nothing to do with you?'

Miguel looked at Harper in shock. Did he hear it right? Why did Harper say that matters concerning Lilian had nothing to do with her? Wasn't she Lilian's aunt? Moreover, Lilian was still the princess of the Bright Dynasty. It was said that she had a good relationship with Harper, so Miguel couldn't understand why Harper was acting like Lilian was a total stranger to her.

"Lady Harper, how ruthless you are! As far as I know, you and Lilian are in good terms. When she was still just a princess of the Bright Dynasty, she was friends with you." The expression on Miguel's face turned cold. He had thought that Harper was kind and warm, but he didn't expect her to be so heartless. If the Bright Dynasty were to clearly state that it didn't care whether Lilian was dead or alive, then her fate would definitely be very miserable.

Upon hearing the accusation, Harper smiled and said, "Ruthless? All right, I am ruthless as you said. Don't waste time in my palace 'cause I won't change my mind about helping her. But what really intrigues me is that how come you care about Lilian so much, since she is Rolando's consort and you are his valued prime minister.

With that, Miguel looked a little awkward. "I'm just showing a little extra concern about everything that has to do with you since you saved my life once."

Harper smiled nonchalantly. "Oh, really? If so, thank you very much. But instead of caring about Lilian, you should care about me. After all, I'm under house arrest, and it was me who saved you, not Lilian. So I'm actually wondering if there is any special relationship between the two of you."

"There is nothing going on between us!" Miguel said, obviously a little provoked with the topic.

Harper folded her arms across her chest and looked at the man with interest. She thought there must be something suspicious about him since he was so agitated. But Harper didn't care about it or want to investigate it further. She just hoped that he would leave her palace as soon as possible. So, she changed the subject and asked, "Do you know that Rolando was poisoned the day before yesterday?"

"Poisoned? You were the one who were actually poisoned, weren't you?" Miguel responded right away. In fact, he was confused. His emperor had fought with Matthew that night, and it seemed that it was impossible for him to be poisoned during that time.

"So you knew that I was poisoned and almost forced myself on Rolando. What role did you play in this?" Harper rigidly said.

"I don't have any idea about this at all."

"Oh, you didn't know? Well, it doesn't matter if you didn't know. The culprit is in prison anyway and I don't want to investigate it further. But I won't interfere in anything that has to do with Lilian. Miguel, please just leave." Harper's tone was a little cold.

She had directly asked Miguel to leave but the latter still wanted to say something. Unfortunately, Harper had already turned around and didn't look at him anymore. It was obvious that there was no room for negotiation about this matter. She wouldn't help Lilian this time. Everyone should be responsible for their own behavior.

When Miguel left the Harmony Palace, he somehow felt that something was wrong. It so happened that he came across Sean who was about to deliver something to Harper. "Sean," he called.
