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."

"Your Majesty, excuse me for leaving." Miguel cupped his hands and left. As soon as he got out of the study, the expression on his face darkened instantly. If Harper got the last book and was trapped in the Harmony Palace, it would be hard for her to get out of the emperor's hands. He had thought the emperor would treat Harper in a different way, but it seemed like he still chose his kingdom over the woman he loved. Indeed, the emperor was quite qualified for the position!

"Prime Minister Miguel." A eunuch bowed to him.

"Arise." As Miguel walked forward, the eunuch followed behind and whispered, "Lady Lilian is in a very bad condition. Although His Majesty hasn't changed her treatment after she has been under house arrest, she has lost her temper and won't even eat or drink. She's a pregnant woman. I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to take it anymore if she keeps on going like this."

Miguel stopped walking. Then he turned around and headed for the Bliss Palace. He knew that Lilian was unaware of her current situation and kept on triggering the limits of the emperor. Although the emperor couldn't find any evidence, Miguel had no doubt that she was involved in what had happened these days.

Out of confusion, the eunuch asked, "Prime Minister Miguel, are you going to visit Lady Lilian? But His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the Bliss Palace."

"Don't worry. They're going to let me in," Miguel nonchalantly said. He had made a mistake before. Now, he had to make more mistakes to amend the first one. He wasn't as tough as iron like the emperor and couldn't be so calm and unmoved in the face of the woman he loved. If he were the emperor, he wouldn't be a good one. So Rolando stood out from every prince and became the emperor.
