Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 892

"I just lost my child, I don't need rest!" Lilian wailed. The baby was her gateway to Rolando's undying love and loyalty, but now that it was gone, she knew that he would not pay attention to her anymore. She saw all her hopes and dreams crumble before her very eyes.

"Lady Lilian, please don't act this way. His Majesty is not heartless. I'm sure that he is now on his way to come see you..." Miguel said.

A guard suddenly came in and reported in a hurried manner, "My Lord, please go and have a look at His Majesty. He..."

"What's wrong with him?" Miguel asked, standing up quickly.

"He is currently in a terrible situation, so is that lady in the Harmony Palace," the guard said.

Miguel's eyes widened. With this new development, he knew that he wouldn't have the time and energy to comfort Lilian anymore, and so he stood up and strode away at once. Lilian wanted to come with him, and so she tried to get up from her bed, even though she struggled badly. 'For a guard to rush to Bliss Palace, Rolando must have been badly hurt! I need to see him; I need to make sure that he's okay!' she thought.

When Miguel arrived at the Harmony Palace, he saw Rolando sitting on the floor and leaning against a pillar. His face was pale and he was drenched in sweat. This scene shocked Miguel, and so he immediately tried to grab Rolando's hand to feel his pulse. Rolando, however, pulled his hand away.

Miguel looked at Rolando in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty, you..."

Rolando did not say anything. Instead, he spat out a mouthful of blood. With every second that passed, he looked paler and paler, making him look deathly fragile. While Miguel had known Rolando for a significant amount of time, it seemed like he never knew him as much as he thought he did. First, even though Rolando liked Harper, Miguel thought that he would still consider his life to be far more important than what he felt towards her. With what was happening, he was proven wrong and he was reminded of what kind of person Rolando was: he was someone who wouldn't give up until he got something, or someone, he liked. This time, he was set on getting Harper, one way or the other.

"Is it okay if Lady Harper stays in the room?" a voice asked. At a distance, Matthew and his men were keeping a close eye on the Harmony Palace. While Matthew understood how serious the situation was inside, he knew couldn't do anything at that moment.

"She will be fine!" Matthew proclaimed coldly. There was no way he was going to let anything happen to the love of his life.

Rolando's condition was worsening as the seconds ticked by, and so Miguel decided that it was time to seek assistance whether Rolando liked it or not. He was just about to call the imperial physician when he felt a change in the air. "The barrier's gone!" Rolando screamed.

He then rushed inside the room to see if Harper was doing all right. When he found that she had fainted, he quickly took her in his arms and tried to wake her, saying, "Harper, Harper, wake up! Anyone! Call the Physician Gary! Tell him to come quick! Now!"

Miguel immediately ordered one of the servants present to fetch the imperial physician and to bring him there. Rolando, though still obviously weak, picked Harper up off of the floor and laid her on the bed. Forsythia brought some warm water and wiped Harper's face with it, praying that she wake up soon. But the panicked Rolando seemed to dislike how slow and gentle she was doing the task. After a while, he snatched the towel off of Forsythia's hands to do the chore himself.

She ran towards Rolando with the intention enclosing him in a tight hug but Rolando stopped her. With what had happened between them, his attitude towards her changed drastically: from pretending to be kind to her to completely being distant and indifferent to her. A sense of resentment was also palpable in his aura.

Looking at Rolando's face, Lilian couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time. She thought that he moved her to the Great Jade Kingdom because he loved her and was willing to make her his wife. It turned out that she was just a pawn, a pawn to lure Harper there. She finally understood that Rolando had taken advantage of her.

"Your Majesty, have you ever loved me, even a little?" Lilian asked. She asked that because she was unwilling to accept the truth. There was no doubt in her mind how much she loved him, but why couldn't he be the same to her? It didn't matter whether he was a monk or an emperor—she fell in love with him the first time she met her, and she was willing to give him anything. She even courted him for five years! Weren't five years enough for him to love her, even a little? Just knowing that he had learned to love her, even the littlest bit, after all this time would make her the happiest woman on earth.

But there was only indifference in Rolando's eyes. If he had the ability to control whatever he was feeling, he would have chosen to fall in love with her a long, long time ago. Unfortunately, that was not how life worked. No matter what he or she did, he just did not love her. Even if another five years passed, he wouldn't have any kind of feelings for her.

"Lady Lilian, your body is still too weak. Please go back to the Bliss Palace and have a rest," Miguel advised. He felt sorry for her. Lilian loved Rolando with her whole heart, yet the latter only loved Harper. The greater irony was that Harper only loved Matthew.

Lilian shook her head and stared at Rolando stubbornly. She wanted to know the answer, even though she actually already knew it deep in her heart. She wanted to hear it from Rolando himself. Otherwise, she would not give up.

"No. Never," Rolando finally said. His tone was firm, cold, and distant. The only time he acted like a human being with a range of feelings was whenever he was in front of Harper. When he faced other people, he would watch his composure and be the perfect emperor everyone wanted him to be: gentle yet cool, elegant yet ruthless.
