Forensic Imperial Concubine

The wet nurse was uneasy and full of doubts. Chloe stood up, took the child from the wet nurse's arms, and walked slowly towards the empress.

Wale was so pretty with his fair skin. His big eyes twinkled like stars. However, as soon as he saw the empress, he burst into tears, crying out at the top of his loud baby's voice. Chloe tried to coax him to lighten the awkward atmosphere. However, no matter what she did, Wale just kept crying, as if the thought of being hugged by the empress terrified him. With no other choice, Chloe looked at the empress with apologetic eyes.

"Well, never mind. He is probably just hungry now. You can take him away and go back first," the empress said gently, as she stretched out her hand and pinched Wale's cute little face. "You have such a strong cry. It means you will have a promising future."

"Yes. Please excuse me," Chloe said as she held Wale, who was crying so hard that he was almost out of breath, in her arms, and went out quickly with the wet nurse. The empress's gloomy eyes lingered on Chloe's back as she went out. It was obvious that this scene had triggered her displeasure. Even a little baby responded to her as if she were a devil from hell! How could she endure that? Nonetheless, she repressed her temper until there was no more sign of it on her face. To be morose over such a trivial thing would reflect badly upon her as an empress.

Seeing this, Sherry also excused herself and left the room. Her motivation for maintaining a peaceful facade with the empress was that Francis hadn't fully recovered, and Felix, meanwhile, still had a lot of power. Her priority was to stay out of all troubles in the Imperial Palace. Thus, she would avoid unnecessary conflicts with the empress.

Despite the empress's annoyance about the incident that day, she quickly let it go without taking it seriously. From that moment, she only had thoughts for the birthday gift she would prepare for the emperor. Everyone else was busying preparing gifts. Those gifts would be delivered to the Imperial Palace within a few days. It was by no means a simple matter to prepare a gift that would truly make Felix stand out and the emperor happy.

Inside Matthew's mansion, Harper studied the imperial edict in her hands, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face. "Honey, the emperor has asked you to take charge of security at the birthday banquet. Isn't he afraid that he is going to die fast enough?" Harper joked.
