Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 639

Harper blinked a few times at him. The emperor was still weak, but it looked like he was getting better. If Harper's calculations were right, he might wake up the next day. It was such a coincidence because Francis had just been thrown into prison and the emperor's health became better. Meanwhile, Sherry couldn't wait any longer.

"Your Majesty, Lady Sherry is here. She is kneeling outside the Tranquil Hall to plead for Prince Francis." Nancy's voice resounded in the room with so much triumph.

The empress sipped a good amount of tea before she spoke. "Let her kneel. Francis offended my son and had wanted to usurp the throne. Felix had shown his mercy by only throwing him in jail. Sherry didn't reflect on her son's mistakes, but come here to plead for his son recklessly. She is to blame. Let her kneel for four hours before letting her in."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Nancy replied with a smile. She then ignored Sherry who was miserably kneeling in front of the hall.

Sherry was extremely furious while she knelt outside of the Tranquil Hall. She had asked Matthew to save Francis and get him out of prison. But Matthew had already sent her a message informing her that there was nothing he could do about the situation. So she had no other choice but to kneel and plead for Francis by herself.

At that time, Minna was looking at Sherry while she suggested in a low voice, "My Lady, it seems like Her Majesty refuses to see you. Let's go back. It wouldn't be wise to get on Her Majesty's bad side. What if something bad happens to you as well? If so, Prince Francis would have no one to rely on."

But Sherry only ignored Minna's advice. Instead, she screamed at the door, "Your Majesty, I know you're inside. Francis is very weak. Please have mercy on him and forgive him. He might have been misunderstood because he didn't know how to express himself very well. Your Majesty, please spare Francis. Please! He has no intention of seizing the throne. He's just worried about the emperor's health and wanted to take care of him. Your Majesty, I'm begging you, please. Forgive him for his mistake."

However, the empress only laughed scornfully when she heard Sherry's pleads. "He didn't know how to express himself? He accused Felix of such viciousness and of his intention to usurp the throne in public. And she had the audacity to claim that it was just a matter of misunderstanding? His Majesty is in a coma. If His Majesty is fine, his words are enough to take Felix's life. He didn't know how to express himself? What a joke! How ridiculous could she get?"

"Your Majesty, just ignore her," Nancy stated.

"Ignore her? How can I just ignore her?" the empress stated while she stood up. Nancy quickly supported her, and then they made their way to the door.

With a disdainful expression on her face, the empress looked at Sherry who was kneeling down with perfect posture. Someone immediately brought a chair for the empress to sit down and the maid served a cup of hot tea. Then the empress looked at Sherry while she said, "Sherry, you are one of the four noble consorts. Have you forgotten about this or you just don't think about the consequences of your actions, first? You came in here, screaming outside of the Tranquil Hall. It would disturb His Majesty while he's in recovery. What do you want?"

"Your Majesty, I admit that I have not taught my son very well. He is upright and outspoken—"

"Shut up!" The empress cut her off in a very loud voice. "You said that your son was upright and outspoken? Do you think that you can fool me? Everyone knows that he's a hypocritical man! Do you want me to list down everything that your son did? First, he's been taking advantage of the situation that His Majesty has been sick. Second, he came out to provoke dissension here, fully intending to alienate the relationship between Felix and the courtiers. Third, he just meddled with the imperial affairs of the Bright Dynasty. He is so treacherous and evil!"
