Chapter 844 Saving Prime Minister Miguel (Part Two)


    "There are only a few people in the Great Jade Kingdom who can hurt you. You and Rndo are very


    close, just like brothers are. It wouldn''t have been easy for anybody to hurt you this much without him


    knowing. So, you must have left the capital for a significant reason before someone plotted against


    you." While she was speaking, Harper''s eyes were fixed on Miguel, so she clearly saw Miguel''s pupils


    shrank at her assumption.


    Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Miguel said, "Don''t make wild guesses here. I won''t tell you


    anything. Of course, I have to thank you for saving me. But please release my acupuncture point. I


    have something to do."


    "What is so important that when the new emperor is about to crown his empress, you appear hundreds


    of miles away from the capital? Can you reveal even a little bit of information to me?" Harper curiously


    asked.


    "Your Highness, please don''t push me too hard," Miguel replied. As soon as he finished speaking, he


    closed his eyes and fell silent. Miguel knew that Harper was so shrewd that she could determine


    whether her assumptions were right or wrong based on his expressions and reactions. So the only


    thing he could do was to silently resist her questioning in this way.


    But Harper didn''t make things difficult for him. "Well, I won''t ask you why you''re here anymore. But I


    want to ask you another question. Do you like men?"


    "Bullshit!" Miguel eximed, suddenly opening his eyes and furiously ring at Harper. "I like women.


    How many times do you want me to tell you? I only like women!"


    "Don''t you have romantic affections for Rndo?" Harper asked. She was very much surprised with his


    response, because Matthew had told her that without a doubt, Miguel loved Rndo.


    Meanwhile, Miguel felt like he just choked with his own blood. He realized that it was really hard to


    communicate with Harper. "No, I don''t!" he simply stated.


    "So you have romantic feelings for Matthew and that was why you were so hostile towards me?"


    Harper concluded in a way that it seemed like she had just found out the truth, which only made Miguel


    burn with rage. If he could move then, he would surely prove to Harper whether he liked men or


    women.


    "I was hostile to you only because you have influenced someone." Miguel believed that it was


    necessary for him to exin himself to Harper as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would assume the


    wrong things about him. He gritted his teeth out of frustration and continued, "Because of you, that


    person has changed a lot. He''s no longer like himself in the past."


    After thinking for a while, Harper asked, "Are you talking about Rndo?"


    "Yes, it''s His Majesty!" Miguel honestly responded. The expression in his eyes was a bitplicated.


    "He used to be well aware of what his responsibilities are. He could bear any kind of pain for the sake


    of his duties. But now, he has even sacrificed his own arm for a woman. Don''t you think it was too


    ridiculous?"


    Harper was surprised to hear that the reason why Miguel had been hostile to her was actually that


    Rndo had saved her. She exined, "At that time, I had lost my ability to protect myself. I didn''t


    expect that he would save me at the price of his arm."


    Shifting his eyes to Harper, Miguel said, "I didn''t mean to make you feel that way. But when we were in


    the South Kingdom, I found out that you had excellent martial arts skills. Then, I remembered that you


    had allowed His Majesty to block an arrow attack for you when you were almost assassinated. I


    thought that you had deliberately tried to harm him. Anyway, can you please release my acupuncture


    point now?"


    Harper stretched her hand to grant what he just asked. But she reminded him, "Please pardon me for


    talking too much. But your wound is very deep, so it would be better for you to not move too much. As


    a matter of fact, you''re lucky that you''re still alive."


    Miguel had wanted to try and sit up once again. However, when he heard what Harper said, he chose


    to continue lying on the bed right away. "I heard that you were not in a good condition so you went to


    the south region to recuperate for some time. But it turns out that you''re actually here. Are youing


    to attend the coronation ceremony of Princess Lilian as the new empress?"


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "No, I''m not," Harper responded. She then stood up and walked towards the window. Looking out at the


    bustling street, she said, "I just want an answer."


    "An answer to what?"


    "Why are you still asking me when you already know the answer?" Harper said, turning her head away


    from him. "The Heavenly Books of the Qin n have once again showed up in this world. Rndo had


    stayed in the Bright Dynasty for five years because of them. So I don''t believe you don''t know what


    answer I want."


    Miguel hadn''t expected that Harper would speak so candidly. "Are you going to take the Heavenly Book


    from His Majesty?"


    "No, I just want to read and know its contents. After all, it''s not easy to take something that Rndo


    owns," Harper impassively said.


    "It''s good that you know that. But if it''s you who''s going to ask him for it, he may just give it to you,"


    Miguel said with a sigh.


    "So, what''s the price that I have to pay?" Harper asked with a smile on her face while she suddenly


    turned around to look at Miguel.


    Miguel opened his mouth but couldn''t say anything even though he wanted to. ''What His Majesty wants


    is you. Unfortunately, you and Prince Matthew are an affectionate couple who love each other very


    much. Nothing could separate the two of you, so you won''t agree to his request. However, His Majesty


    is not someone who would give up so easily. Therefore, your trip to the Great Jade Kingdom will be


    extremely dangerous.''


    "If possible, it''s not toote for you to turn around now and go back to the Bright Dynasty," Miguel


    suggested after thinking about it for a while.


    "Now that I''ve already reached the Great Jade Kingdom, I have never thought of retreating without


    doing something about it. I can give what Rndo wants to know in exchange for reading the book. I


    believe he won''t say no," Harper said, raising her eyebrows.


    ''Naive!'' Miguel thought. He wanted to tell Harper that Rndo''s target was nobody else but her. But


    when he remembered what Rndo had said to him, he swallowed his words and said, "Now that


    you''re going to the capital, please take me with you. I''m injured right now and I can''t go back there by


    myself."


    "Okay, I''ll take you to divert us from boredom."
