Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 577

"Yes, Your Highness," Fred responded in his deep and intimidating voice. For a man like him, it was a typical voice quality. However, Harper thought that this kind of voice wouldn't work for her plan, so she frowned a little, then took out a pill and handed it to him.

"Take it."

Fred took the pill from Harper's hand and immediately swallowed it without a bit of hesitation. However, what made him uneasy was when he noticed that Harper had her eyes fixated on his every move. He had never imagined that he would one day be forced to wear women's clothes. It made him feel so uncomfortable as if he was stripped naked and made to walk towards the public.

"Your Highness, if we don't leave right now, we're going to be late for sure," Fred reminded her. His voice was no longer gruff and deep but rather soft and sweet, which was very close to a woman's voice. Although he didn't consciously do anything to change his voice, it sounded romantic with a hint of being coquettish. Any man who would listen to that voice would certainly melt in an instant.

"It works well," Harper observed. When she noticed that Fred's face had turned pale, she stopped teasing him. She was on her way out with Forsythia and Fred behind her when it so happened that Jack ran towards them in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready," Jack reported, grinning from ear to ear with all of his white teeth in full display. But when Jack caught a glimpse of Fred, who was wearing a maid's uniform, he was only confused and wondered why there was a maid who was unfamiliar to him.

"What are you looking at? I'll dig your eyes out if you don't look away!" Those words, which were clearly a threat, came out of Fred's mouth in a soft and sweet voice, like a means of seduction.

Jack's eyes lit up upon hearing that. He moved closer to Harper and asked, "Your Highness, when did you get such a beautiful maid?"

Harper turned to him and said, "Zack sent her here. She knows some martial arts skills and has a bad temper, so don't provoke her."

"Yes, Your Highness. Since you have commanded it, I wouldn't even dare to annoy her," Jack obediently said, but he looked at Fred from head to toe. Inside Jack's eyes were deep suspicion, as if he was inspecting Fred.

Fred squinted slightly but didn't say anything. He simply followed Harper as they made their way out of the mansion and into the carriage. They were finally headed to the Imperial Palace.

While in the carriage, Fred frowned deeply at the thought of Jack's suspecting eyes on him. The more he thought about it, the more the frown on his face deepened. He couldn't help but overthink every single thing.

"Unhappy," Harper said. Rather than a question, it was a statement. There was not a bit of doubt in her voice.

Fred looked at Harper with a confused expression on his face. He couldn't understand what she meant.

"You are not happy," Harper reiterated.

"Your Highness, I'm not unhappy. I'm just a little uncomfortable," Fred responded. He was telling the truth, but he didn't say that it was all because of Jack. Fred chose to keep silent instead of talking about why he was frowning.
