Later that evening, Andy visited Matthew's mansion to deliver a message from the empress, requesting

Harper to go to the

Imperial Palace to make a diagnosis and give treatment for the emperor. However, Matthew refused

this request at once without

a hint of hesitation.

Hearing Matthew's response, Andy commented in a concerned tone, "Your Highness, His Majesty's

health is of the utmost

importance and he is in serious danger right now. The officials only believe in Lady Harper's medical

skills. If she doesn't go

there as soon as possible, I'm afraid that..."

Before he could even finish his sentence, Matthew cut him off and said, "Andy, do you really want my

wife to go to the Imperial

Palace, diagnose and treat His Majesty this time? How can I be sure that the empress won't seize the

opportunity to hold her as

a hostage in order to threaten me?" His voice sounded so cold, and the look on his face sent chills

down Andy's spine. In the

face of such a terrible person, he couldn't help trembling in fear deep inside. Even if the emperor were

present, he still wouldn't

dare to offend Matthew, let alone when the emperor was stuck in a coma. While struggling to remain

composed in front of

everyone, Andy steeled his resolve and said, "Well, His Majesty has slipped into a coma and needs to

be treated right away..."

"Andy, my wife will head to the Imperial Palace with me tomorrow morning to diagnose His Majesty. On

top of that, I'm going to

ask some loyal officials to witness it. That is the best way. Otherwise, do you seriously think those

officials would believe that my

wife would go to treat His Majesty at this point in time?" The cold and stern look he had in his eyes was

making Andy feel weaker

and weaker in the knees with each passing second. At that moment, he only wished that he could bury

his head into the ground

just so he would not have to face Matthew under such terrible circumstances. Something was telling

him that Matthew had

become even more frightening than he was before.

"Your Highness... I understand. I'll inform Her Majesty right away,"

Andy responded very quickly, desperate to leave that place as soon as he could. It should go without

saying that he did not

intend to stay there for even a second longer. It made him feel like he was suffering in hell.

"Andy," Matthew called out all of a sudden. "Yes, Your Highness," Andy answered at once. Hearing

Matthew calling his name startled him so much that he trembled in fear once again, falling to his knees.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" "Don't forget that your master is His Majesty, not Her

Majesty," Matthew flatly said. Hearing Matthew's insightful warning gave Andy quite a fright.

"Yes, I've always been making sure to keep this in mind. His Majesty is the master I'm supposed to

serve. Thank you for your kind reminder, Your Highness," Andy firmly replied. Then, he got up on his

feet right away, leaving in such a hurry. Truth be told, he was aware that Matthew had already been

suspicious of him. He had been living in the Imperial Palace for a number of years, so he already knew

which response to give in such a situation would ensure his safety. After Andy left, Matthew simply

returned to his room, thinking that it would be better to just sleep at this time. The next morning, Harper

was woken up by Matthew. Although she didn't really want to leave the comfort of her cozy bed, she

still got up anyway. After all, she knew full well that there was an important job she had to do today.

After getting freshened up, she went into the carriage with Matthew, heading to the Imperial Palace.

Throughout the entire day, she had been feeling so sluggish. In fact, when she got inside the carriage,

she even used Matthew's lap as a pillow and slept all the way. The emperor was currently in a severe

coma, and the officials were suspecting Felix. What was more, Matthew said that Harper

would be treating the emperor under the watchful eyes of the officials. For that reason, all of them were

there waiting for Matthew

and Harper to arrive.

Before long, the two finally arrived. Without delay, one of the officials immediately asked, "Your

Highness, is Lady Harper..."

"Head straight toward the Tranquil Hall," Matthew ordered in a rather cold tone. When they arrived at

the gate of the palace, he

didn't get off the carriage and asked the coachman to take them directly into the Imperial Palace.

Seeing this, the officials then frantically followed them to the Imperial Palace. Franklin and Zack

followed behind, but they didn't

bother trying to catch up to Matthew's carriage. They knew that there was no need to try to chase them

because even if Matthew

and Harper got there first, she wouldn't start checking the emperor's condition until all the officials were

present.

"Grand Secretary Franklin," someone called out. "General Maxwell," Franklin responded, nodding his

head as he glanced at Maxwell. Maxwell used to be such a ferocious man. But lately, he had been

looking much better, and even had half a smile on his face. "How's your wife? Is she feeling any

better?" Zack politely asked. "Well, it's still the same as before. I've already lost count of how many

physicians we've asked to check her condition, but they just keep getting the same result. Her condition

has not improved in the slightest," Maxwell replied. There was a hint of

indifference in his tone when he said those words. However, Zack simply smiled without saying

anything else.

"Grand Secretary Franklin, do you think His Majesty..." asked Maxwell.

"We're in the same boat. I have no idea about His Majesty's current condition as well. Let's go there

quickly to find out. We'll

know the result once he gets treated," Franklin replied, wearing a gentle smile on his face. No one

could possibly notice any

superfluous expression on his face, or could ever hope to guess what he was thinking.

'You old fox!' Maxwell couldn't help cursing him deep in his heart. Then, he looked at the tender smile

on Zack's face. 'And that

right there is the little fox. Everyone in the Bu Clan is as cunning as a fox.'

Based on the look on Maxwell's face, Zack could tell that he wanted to give him a mouthful, but he

didn't really care. Now, he

was working for the court, and his father was about to retire soon. By then, he would be the one to bear

the great responsibility.

Some officials began murmuring amongst themselves. "It is said that Lady Harper has remarkable

medical skills. I wonder if she

will be able to cure His Majesty."

"Who knows? Although they said that she has remarkable medical skills, don't forget that they called

her a quack when she

helped deliver the baby of General Maxwell's concubine. And for that reason, His Majesty also stripped

off her title as an imperial

physician. In my opinion, I don't think she is really that capable."

"But I've heard people say that she is without equal in this respect."

"Well, we will have to find out whether she is truly as remarkable as they say or not after she makes the

diagnosis for His

Majesty soon," an imperial physician sneered. Although Harper was married to Matthew, there were

still a handful of people who

didn't like her.

"You're right. I guess we'll have to wait and see if she does have remarkable medical skills."

Matthew's carriage pulled over right outside the Tranquil Hall. A few officials were already there waiting

for his arrival. As he

stood there, Felix did not turn his gaze toward Matthew's carriage until Franklin and the others arrived

as well.
