Forensic Imperial Concubine

Jason's return to the Imperial Palace brought much joy—a refreshing change to its previously glum atmosphere. As Andy guarded outside the gates of the Tranquil Hall, he could hear the emperor's hearty laugh. Andy couldn't help but smile. 'Jason makes His Majesty so happy even if he's not here all year round, ' he thought inwardly.

"Lord Andy, His Majesty seems very happy," Josef, who was standing beside him, said warily.

"Well, His Majesty is spending time with Prince Jason. You should go and see the former empress off. His Majesty wants to give her some dignity. Prepare everything for her and let her choose one way." Andy gnashed his teeth when he recalled how much humiliation the empress had brought to him while the emperor was in a coma. Now the empress had no way to fight back, so Andy retaliated against her for everything that she had done.

In the Cold Palace, the empress sat on the small bed in silence. The Cold Palace was deserted and tattered and its windows had leaks, but at the very least, it was still a place to live. Upon entrance to the Cold Palace, the empress quickly realized that this was a horrible place as even the lowest servants did not respect her at all.

When Josef arrived with his fellows, the empress curled up in bed. Her eyes were closed and she was just pretending to sleep. Her once glowing face was now haggard and gaunt. "Gloria Huang, His Majesty was generous enough to spare you your dignity. He instructed me to prepare these things for you. You may choose one."

The former empress narrowed her eyes as her body trembled. She said coldly, "His Majesty is going to kill me!"

"Gloria, you are unpardonably guilty. His Majesty does not want to kill you and is even generous enough to give you some dignity. Don't complain anymore. For your own sake, just choose one. It's only going to be too humiliating if we do it for you." Josef snorted. Back in the Imperial Palace, the empress had been so lofty and arrogant. She would make a fuss even though the servants made the slightest mistake. Now the empress was no better than the lowest servant.

She came down from her bed and stood up. "After being his wife for more than 20 years, I can't believe he would be so cruel as to kill me!"

"Humph!" Josef sneered. "Gloria, don't say that. You know it was you who wanted to murder His Majesty first. His Majesty offered to protect your dignity. You should be grateful!"

"Lady Sherry, greetings." All the servants spoke with one voice.

"Arise. I'm here to see the former empress."

Sherry came in, looking elegant in her dress. With a kind smile on her face, she said, "Josef."

"Lady Sherry, good day. May I ask what you're doing here? This is no place for you to be as it may bring bad luck. What if something bad happens? If you have anything to do, feel free to tell me and I will do it for you," Josef offered.
