Forensic Imperial Concubine

"No, I refuse!" No one had expected Harper to be the first one to refuse outright as soon as Charles finished his words. As per the common perception of Harper, she was a nice person who would agree on almost everything. One thing that Charles had already forgotten was how sensitive Harper was when it came to her biological mother.

In an instant, there was a displeased look on Charles' face. "Harper, behave yourself. Think twice before you speak!"

"No way. I will not allow this," Harper said stubbornly. She turned her head away to avoid looking at Charles.

from Harper. I am grateful to Father for being kind enough to let me work as a physician. I didn't steal Harper's position. I knew that Harper has been angry with me because I took her place at the Imperial Academy of Medicine, but I had no choice. I can't just disobey His Majesty's orders!" Hailey sobbed in a sad tone. She then turned to Harper. "Harper, I'm sorry but I can't just quit my job. I can't decide it for myself unless I am asked to quit by His Majesty.
