Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 629

"Will it damage your body?"

"No, it won't. But it is inevitable that my body has been impacted when it was removed from my body. Therefore I have to nurse my health with great care for a while. Of course, I can't get pregnant during this period of time," Harper said, shifting her eyes to Matthew. "That's why I have to take the contraceptive."

"All right," Matthew agreed calmly. He didn't object to Harper's taking a contraceptive, even though it went against his preferences. Harper wasn't worried because she believed Matthew placed great importance on her health.

"I guess the Qin Clan must have attracted a lot of attention when Felton entered the imperial capital. What do you think?"

"Of course. Felton is a member of the Qin Clan. It's fortunate that His Majesty is in a coma now, otherwise he would have made trouble for you," Matthew said, with a cold glitter in his eyes. "Now Felix has begun to take charge of national affairs, and Her Majesty is in charge of the imperial harem. None of the other ladies are allowed to see His Majesty. Nobody is allowed to approach His Majesty except those appointed to watch over him."

"Well, what a great opportunity for them to get rid of anyone who is in their way! I'm afraid Her Majesty and Felix will take this opportunity to attack others," Harper said. Resting her chin on one of her hands, she thought for a while and continued, "The timing of Francis' poisoning again seems to be suspicious. Maybe it was Her Majesty who poisoned him this time. She poisoned Francis exactly when she predicted that something would happen to His Majesty. Now that Francis is weak and bed-ridden, Felix and Her Majesty can take the opportunity to dominate the affairs of state."

"Maybe."

"I don't care what they do to each other. Let's just close our gate and live our lives peacefully in this mansion. We won't go out until they are done," Harper said, intending to stand aside and be merely an onlooker. She didn't care whether the emperor was alive or dead. Her only worldly concern was to establish a successful, thriving business in her shops.

"I'm afraid Her Majesty won't allow you to be merely an onlooker."

"You think she wants to attack us?" Harper asked though she found it impossible to believe, for it would be incredibly foolish if the empress antagonized Matthew and Harper. After all, Matthew had three hundred thousand soldiers under his thumb, who could besiege and attack the Imperial Palace whenever Matthew gave the order. Attacking Matthew and Harper would be a signal for Matthew to launch a rebellion that could overwhelm the empress.

Shaking his head slightly, Matthew explained, "Today His Majesty is in a coma, and Felix has begun to take charge of state affairs. The imperial physicians diagnosed him, but the courtiers don't believe them, and think that the imperial physicians were bribed by Her Majesty and Felix. It's all the more suspicious that Her Majesty doesn't allow anyone to visit His Majesty. As a result, some have suggested..."

Seeing Matthew looking at her with a wry smile, Harper frowned slightly. "They want me to go to the Imperial Palace to diagnose HIs Majesty?"

"Yes, you guessed it right," Matthew said, stroking her head gently. "You weren't there, so you missed an amusing performance today. Those who used to denounce you passionately in front of His Majesty praised you to the skies today. They said that your medical skills are second to none in the world and that you are also trustworthy. They said they would believe nobody's diagnosis but yours. They forced Felix to allow you into the Imperial Palace to diagnose His Majesty."
