Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Don't worry about that. No one can bully Hailey." Mavis patted on Harper's hand softly with a confident smile on her face. They had sent Hailey to Imperial Academy of Medicine to acquire knowledge and upgrade herself. They wanted to make Hailey absolutely suitable and up to the mark in every way before she would marry the crown prince in the future.

"Right," Harper agreed. Then she helped Mavis out of the bedroom. Just after Mavis washed her face, Sue came with Ruby. She didn't look angry.

"Good morning, Mother," Sue greeted Mavis.

"I heard Hailey would come back today?" Mavis took a cup of tea from Harper and took a sip from it.

"Yes, Mother. Hailey wrote to say that she had been missing us and would come back to live with us for a few days." Sue knelt on the floor to show her regards to Mavis.

"Where is Felicia?"

"Felicia's rash hasn't recovered yet. The doctor advised her to stay indoor as coming in contact with the wind may aggravate her skin condition. So she couldn't come to see you. Please forgive her, Mother."

Just then, several concubines came in with Yvonne and Alexandra to pay respects to Mavis.

"Good morning, Mother."

"Get up, all of you." Mavis intended to make things difficult for Sue, but she didn't want to embarrass her in front of the other concubines, so she asked Sue to get up as well.

"Good morning, Lady Sue, Harper," the concubines greeted.
