Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 886

In the study, Rolando was calmly going through the reports delivered by his officials. Miguel entered the room and sat down beside him. Playing with the folding fan in his hand, he looked at the emperor with great interest. But Rolando was so absorbed in reading that he completely ignored the uninvited visitor.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Lady Harper almost forced herself on you the day before yesterday. Is that true?"

Rolando abruptly stopped writing for a few seconds. Yet, he soon continued to read the reports and wrote more vigorously. Miguel noticed that there was something wrong with the emperor's expression. "Your Majesty, I've always thought that you're fond of Lady Harper. I didn't expect you to be indifferent to her."

"Miguel, you are being too talkative!" Rolando frowned a little.

"Your Majesty, I'm just curious. Don't you like Lady Harper?"

Scowling at the visitor, Rolando seriously exclaimed, "Miguel! You'd better shut up and leave if you don't want me to punish you."

"Your Majesty, then please release Lady Lilian. After all, she's pregnant. It's not a good environment for her to take care of the baby," Miguel pleaded at once.

"What I should do is none of your business. Have you found Matthew?" Rolando nonchalantly said.

"We didn't find him. I've searched the entire Imperial Capital since he escaped yesterday, but still, I couldn't find him anywhere. He seems to have disappeared into thin air." Miguel paused after thinking about what he should say next. After a while, he continued, "Your Majesty, are you really going to cancel the grand ceremony to bestow Lady Lilian the position of your empress?"

"You think I am joking about that?"

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Bright Dynasty will be here soon. If they find out that you canceled the grand ceremony..."

"I'm not even afraid of Matthew. How could I be afraid of several envoys?" Rolando calmly proclaimed. "Miguel, why do I feel like you're recently becoming more and more sentimental and soft-hearted?"

Miguel opened the fan and used it to cool his face. "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm being soft-hearted, but you⁠— You have always been so soft-hearted to Lady Harper."
