Forensic Imperial Concubine

Then she sat on his legs and blew a warm breath in his ear. She said in a gentle and lovable voice, "What do you think about it, honey?"

Matthew's body became hot in an instant. The look in his eye was intense and it seemed like he was planning something. Yet, after a while, his eyes became calm and then his voice was a little hoarse and helpless. He said, "If you weren't pregnant, then I would be obliged to let you know the consequences of flirting with me!"

Harper chuckled silently. Her expression was gentle, looking like a mother-to-be. She always used to be gentle, but there was also shrewdness and coldness hidden within. Now, she was plain and gentle, and the anger that resided in her heart had all but dissuaded.

Matthew placed his hands on Harper's belly and said, "The thought that a little boy will come to rob you of me in the near future makes my heart ache. I was looking forward to having a baby for all these days, but now that you do have one, I worry that the baby will divide your love for me. What should I do, Harp? I feel sorry for myself for saying this, but I'm already jealous of our baby."

Harper couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You're being such a baby. How could you be jealous of an unborn child? Tell me, what did Felton say to you earlier?"

"He said that both the late and the current emperors have killed members of the Qin Clan in the imperial capital," Matthew whispered. "Although we already knew about this, Felton's intentions were different. He tried to sow dissent between us."

"There is no amount of lies in this world that would make me believe him more than you," Harper emphasized. "What the late emperor did has nothing to do with you. You were just a child when the Qin Clan was destroyed. You shouldn't burden yourself with that guilt."

"But, I'm not happy about being threatened," Matthew said in a grim tone.
