Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Aunt," Lilian mumbled, feeling a little embarrassed. "His Majesty doesn't like to be disturbed when he is dealing with business."

"Alright, alright. I'm just kidding. Don't worry. It was just a group of rabbles. Your man is safe and sound."

Hearing that, Lilian looked less worried. "Didn't you say you just wanted to have a walk around the palace today? Why did you two go out?"

"I don't know, either. Rolando told me that he didn't want to show me around the palace because I could do that on my own, so he wanted to take me to walk around the capital. He even didn't take a guard! We were targeted and ambushed as soon as we went out of the palace." While Harper was speaking, it suddenly occurred to her that Rolando had done all this on purpose. The reason why he had taken herself out of the palace for fun was because he wanted to lure the assassins to show up. "Your man was really using me to his heart's desire, huh," she said, sounding annoyed.

Lilian was struck dumb by Harper's sudden change in tone. But then she figured it out very soon. Rolando had gone out of the palace with Harper in an attempt to bait his enemies so that he could get rid of them all in one net. She knew that Rolando must be dealing with the follow-up matter at the moment.

With this, the load on Lilian's mind vanished in an instant. She had thought that Rolando treated Harper too specially, but now she knew that he was just doing that as a tactic to get rid of threats against him. "Don't be angry, Aunt. For His Majesty to have done that, he must have been sure of your safety. He won't put you in danger."
