Forensic Imperial Concubine

Andy looked at Zack and could not help but sigh in his heart, 'Mister Zack's definitely going to be the future grand secretary. That's going to make him the most important person in the court. Yet he's still kind enough to help Lady Harper get inside the carriage. It seems that the rumors are indeed right. He does treat Lady Harper quite well.'

In the carriage, Zack was grinning. "I could tell how jealous your husband was. It's so funny. Did you notice that?"

Harper shot a helpless glare at him and said, "Are you actually laughing? Well, I don't know why, but when it comes to Francis, his patience is very slim. The envy just eats him up."

"It just proves how well you treat Francis," Zack said in a joking tone. "Did you know that Francis has garnered a lot of support from the court?"

"Yes, I heard that. To be honest, he is the most capable out of all the princes. If only his health wasn't so poor, he would be a great choice. However, the future emperor of this country cannot be suffering from a serious illness," Harper commented with her chin resting on one hand. After hesitating for a while, she continued, "If that happened, the country would be extremely unstable and people might grab the opportunity to usurp the throne."

With a smile, Zack asked, "Then, what do you think?"

"It doesn't matter what I think. What matters the most is the thoughts of other people," Harper replied lightheartedly. "I would be happier if there were more people who wanted to fight for the throne."

"Why do I feel as if you're gloating?" Zack said with a doting smile. He then took out a paper bag from his pocket and unfolded it. "I bought some of your favorite cakes on the way."

It had been more than a year since Harper and Matthew had gotten married and they still didn't have any children. The officials were already starting to doubt Harper's fertility while some were suspecting that it was Matthew who was sterile. Either way, they still didn't have any children and that wasn't a good thing.
