Chapter 867 Emergency In The Harmony Pce (Part One)


    Harper had been sleeping soundly, but before she could even open her eyes, she already felt that


    someone was looking at her. It ultimately confused her. She wondered if Rndo had finished their


    imperial court session in the morning. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw Lilian looking at her


    with a pair of wide-opened eyes.


    Sitting up immediately, Harper asked in surprise, "Why did you get up so early? Your face looks a little


    pale too. Do you feel ufortable anywhere?"


    Lilian shook her head and forced a smile. "No, I just didn''t sleep wellst night. As a matter of fact, I


    always had nightmares these days," she replied.


    Hearing these words, Harper got up and quickly put on a robe over her shoulders. Then she


    approached Lilian and felt her pulse. "Well, your vital energy and blood flow show that you''re fatigued.


    You also have too much liver-fire. Since you''re currently pregnant, it will be better if you don''t take any


    medicine. I''ll make a prescription of medicated diet and send it to the kitchen so they can prepare it for


    you."


    Lilian immediately expressed her gratitude. "Thank you very much, Aunt. By the way, I actually came


    here because I realized you haven''t explored the pce here since you arrived. So for today, how


    about I show you around the pce?"


    "That sounds great," Harper responded. After Harper freshened up, she and Lilian had breakfast


    together before they took an idle walk. Meanwhile, Forsythia was actually worried about Harper, so she


    closely followed them. Lilian noticed what the maid was doing but didn''t say anything about it. In a very


    lively mood, she simply introduced all the spots and views on their way to Harper.


    Harper carefully listened to her. In fact, she was a little concerned about Lilian''s behaviorst night.


    Harper had nned to ask her why she had acted that way, but it was hard for her to do so when she


    saw Lilian''s state.


    "Are you tired? If you are, we can take a rest for a bit. After all, you''re carrying a baby. We''ve been


    walking for such a long time. I think it''s time for you to have a rest," Harper suggested.


    Holding Harper''s arm, Lilian said, "Let''s go to the pavilion ahead and have a rest there for a while. By


    the way, Aunt, Uncle Matthew is supposed to arrive soon, right?"


    "I had been informed that the envoy''s team is approaching the capital. He should arrive soon enough.


    But they are rather slow. At most, I thought they would arrive one or two dayster than I did. But it


    turns out they still need a few days more to get here," Harper answered immediately.


    "You must miss Uncle Matthew very much, right?" Lilian asked in a mischievous tone.


    Harper yfully red at her andined, "You''re making fun of me."

    "Everyone knows you and Uncle Matthew love each other very much and have a very active intimate


    life. I just feel that it''s strange how the two of you didn''te to the Great Jade Kingdom together,"


    Lilian asked. Her voice became unusually lower.


    But Harper didn''t notice it. "I had been treating Wendy''s heart disease, so I couldn''t leave the imperial


    capital when Matthew had to set out. But I actually feel that it''s strange as well. It''s so surprising to me


    that your uncle will arrive muchter than me even though he set out a week earlier."


    Lilian''s eyes lit up at Harper''s words as she suddenly remembered what Francis had said. ording to


    him, Rndo had done everything in order to lure Harper to the capital of the Great Jade Kingdom.


    Now that Matthew would arriveter, she thought that Rndo had been behind it. It was true that


    Lilian herself was only a pawn to draw Harper here.


    "Uncle Matthew will certainly arrive before my coronation ceremony. You don''t need to worry about him,


    Aunt. There is no one in this world who can stop Uncle Matthew," Lilian said slowly. Even though


    Rndo was also capable, it would not be that easy for him to stop Matthew from doing anything,


    especially when it involved his beloved Harper.


    "Are you really okay?" Harper asked while looking at Lilian''s pale face. Even though she had already


    felt Lilian''s pulse, Harper could see that thedy had been worrying too much. Not knowing what could


    make Lilian so worried, Harper asked, "Are you worried about the coronation ceremony? I want you to


    know that it''spletely understandable. After all, you will officially be the empress of the Great


    Jade Kingdom."


    Shaking her head, Lilian answered, "No, these days, I just frequently had nightmares, so I couldn''t


    sleep that well. Don''t worry about me. I''m fine, just a little tired."


    "Let me escort you back to your pce. It would be better for you to have a good rest," Harper


    immediately said. It was bing more apparent that Lilian was not in a good condition.


    "Thank you but it''s fine, Aunt. We''re not far from the Bliss Pce anyway. I was nning to have a


    good walk around the pce, but I didn''t expect that my health is not good enough to do that. I''m sorry


    but I can''t apany you any longer today. I''ll visit youter," Lilian apologetically said.


    "No, don''t worry about it," Harper assured her. She then turned to Daisy and said, "Daisy, take good


    care of your master."


    "Yes, Your Highness," Daisy responded and then helped Lilian to leave.


    As she looked at Lilian''s receding figure, Harper''s eyes were full of confusion. Last night, Lilian seemed


    to have deliberately provoked Rndo, and the man looked very embarrassed. Although he had tried


    his best to cover it, Harper was still able to sense that something was wrong between the couple. "I


    don''t know what but something must have happened between themst night."


    "Your Highness, your servant thinks that Princess Lilian looked rather unusual today. She''s obviously


    not feeling well, but she still forced herself to show you around the pce. But after a while, she


    suddenly felt ufortable and wanted to go back, leaving you alone in here," Forsythia said with a


    frown.


    "Well, I think Lilian means well. She''s pregnant now, so she can''t be too careless. Let''s go back too. It


    seems like the Imperial Pce here is not a special one after all," Harper said. Since walking around


    the pce didn''t really pique her interest, she decided to go back.


    "Yes, Your Highness."


    The two of them headed for the Harmony Pce at a slow pace. Along the way, Harper was thinking


    about Lilian''s unusual behavior. There was only one person in the world who could influence Lilian''s


    thoughts, and that was Rndo. Could it be possible that the couple had a fight because of herst


    night?


    "Forsythia."


    "What''s the matter, Your Highness?" Forsythia asked in confusion.


    "Didn''t Lilian say that she frequently had nightmares and couldn''t sleep well these days? Send this


    bottle of medicine to her. It can help relieve her uneasiness and it won''t do any harm to the baby. Tell


    her to take a pill before she goes to sleep every evening. I''m sure that she can have a good sleep for a


    whole night." Harper thought for a while and decided to leave the pce as soon as possible. It was


    too awkward for her to stay in the pce any longer. She had agreed to stay here for Lilian''s sake. But


    now, for that same reason, it seemed like she needed to leave the pce at the earliest


    opportunity.
