Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 891

As ominous light filled the Harmony Palace, the secret guards stationed in the immediate vicinity quickly gathered to report the abnormal phenomenon to Rolando. Rolando was at first alarmed and confused by this development, but he quickly came to the realization that it must have been Harper who caused this. 'She must have already obtained the last Heavenly Book and is now unveiling its deepest secrets. That might be the reason for the appearance of such light!' he thought. And he was right—Harper was the only key that would be able to decode the secrets embedded in the Heavenly Books.

"To the Harmony Palace now," he announced at once. He was craving to know more.

Meanwhile, in the Harmony Palace, Harper was already under a magical state of consciousness. Every character that could be found in the Heavenly Book had turned into what seemed like small people, and they flew and danced joyously in the air before they rushed into her body. Soon, she began the ritual—she closed her eyes and chanted as her hand performed the chant's accompanying choreography. Unfortunately, it turned out that the Heavenly Books of the Qin Clan did not record any method that one could do to achieve immortally—they merely recorded the cultivation methods of the Qin Clan.

When Rolando arrived, he found himself unable to enter Harper's room no matter what he did. It was as if there was an invisible wall along its perimeters, preventing any outsider from entering.

"What's going on?" Rolando asked in a panicked tone as he stretched his hands out to feel what was hindering him from even touching the door. When he felt and confirmed that indeed, there was an invisible barrier that was surrounding the room where Harper was, he began to strike it, hoping to break it down. His first strike, however, made it clear that it would be impossible for him to do that: his knuckle just bounced off of the unseen force field. 'Is this because of the Heavenly Books? What kind of powerful secret was it keeping hidden?' he thought.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we would be able to enter Princess Harper's room no matter what we do," Fernando said helplessly.

"Ah!" A pained scream suddenly came from inside the room. The moment Rolando heard it, his face became drained of blood. "Harper! Harper! What is happening in there? Are you all right? Harper!" he screamed at the top of his lungs as he continued to strike the invisible barrier, hoping to break it.

Inside, Harper was experiencing something she had never experienced before. As the incredibly potent and powerful energy came into her body, she felt as if all her bones were about to break. The pure, untethered power of the Qin Clan was so formidable that even though the strength of her willpower was above average, she was only barely able to handle it. Soon enough, she found herself spitting out blood as the damage on her body worsened. Spiritual power laid heavily on her that she felt like a knife was being wedged inside her, slowly cutting her body in half.

Her agonized screams came one after another, making the people who were helplessly waiting outside become filled with anxiety and dread.

Patrick, upon seeing Harper rolling on the ground screaming in pain, immediately rushed over to help her. Before it could even get remotely close to where she was, however, a powerful force had it flying to the invisible barrier, and soon, it dropped on the ground, which looked rather hilarious.

At that very moment, Rolando suddenly felt a profound feeling of weakness that even supporting his own weight seemed impossible. His hands found his chest and clung to it as if they were trying to prevent it from falling apart. Cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead. "Your Majesty, what's happening to you? Are you hurt?" Fernando asked in an alarmed tone when he saw what was happening.

After a while, Lilian began to look like she was feeling much better. She dozed off for a bit, and when she woke up, the first thing she saw was Miguel. Deep inside, she felt a sense of disappointment—she was expecting someone else to be by her side, a different man to save her. "My baby. How is my baby?" she asked, her voice still crackly.

Miguel didn't answer and just averted his gaze so that it wouldn't meet Lilian's. Sensing that something was gravely wrong, she looked down on her belly to touch it, only to find that her previously bulging belly was already flat. It only meant one thing—her baby was gone. With wide and teary eyes, she shrieked, "My baby! Where is my baby?!"

"I'm sorry, Lady Lilian. We were not able to save your baby," Miguel responded, sounding devastated. He knew that it would be difficult for her to accept this cruel fact. "There was nothing we could do. I am so sorry."

"My baby! My baby! What did you do with my baby!" Lilian hysterically cried out. "I want my baby back! Without it, His Majesty would stop caring about me! Give my baby back to me!"

"He won't stop caring about you! Trust me on this, Lady Lilian!" Miguel said in a firm tone in an effort to comfort the despairing woman. He sympathized with what Lilian was feeling, but he knew that she should not let it control her. "Please, you must rest now. It wouldn't be good for you if you continue to stress out yourself like this."
