Chapter 887 Lilian Was Poisoned (Part One)
Miguel was able to enter Bliss Palace without anyone stopping him. Upon opening the door, however,he was welcomed by a bowl filled with rice flying straight to his face. Good thing he had good reflexes,because if he didn't, he would have been badly hurt.
"What's going on here? Good day, Lady Lilian."
Curled up on the bed was Lilian, her eyes still moist from crying hard. She was still reeling from whathad happened—she couldn't believe that Rolando would treat her the way he did, and that he woulddetest the baby inside of her womb because of Harper! At this point, she began regretting schemingwith Francis to make moves against Harper, but there was no way in the world that would allow her toundo her decision. 'I've already done it!' she thought, angry and depressed.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?" Lilian asked without even raising her head.She knew that the news of her not being on Rolando's good side had already reached everyone in theGreat Jade Kingdom. Even the maids and eunuchs now had a reason to be rude to her! The onlyplausible reason that Miguel, the prime minister, was visiting her at this time was because he wanted totake pleasure in seeing her suffer from her misfortunes!
"Servant, bring food here."
"Yes, My Lord."
Miguel then sat down next to Lilian quietly. As he looked at her aggrieved and helpless face, he sigheddeeply. "Until when do you plan on torturing yourself like this?"
"His Majesty really loves Harper Chu!" Lilian shrieked in response.
"Nothing happened between His Majesty and Princess Harper," he said. The servant came in with atray full of hot food. Miguel took one of the plates and put it in front of Lilian. As he handed her a pair of
chopsticks, he said, "If His Majesty is really in love with her, it would be impossible for him to do nothingto have her."
Lilian raised her head to look at Miguel. "You said nothing happened between His Majesty andHarper?"
"Yes," Miguel answered solemnly. "Nothing has happened between them. Now eat. Even though youdon't feel like ingesting something, the baby in your belly needs some nutrition to survive." Miguelgently put the chopsticks into her hand. "I'll tell you everything once you're full."
"Tell me everything first!" Lilian demanded, her face contorted with anger and determination.novelbin
Miguel wasn't interested in a stand-off, however. "If you don't eat, I will leave," he said emotionlessly.When Lilian showed no sign of budging, he swiftly stood up to leave.
"Wait! No! Please don't leave! I'll eat now!" Lilian begged as she grabbed Miguel's arm to stop him fromleaving.
Miguel looked at the hand that grabbed his arm before sitting back down slowly. Lilian then picked upthe utensils and hurriedly stuffed her mouth with the delicious dishes in front of her. "But didn't HisMajesty stay in the Harmony Palace the whole day yesterday?" she asked in between spoonfuls offood.
"Well, he was also poisoned," Miguel answered in a serious tone. "The sole reason that he stayed atthe Harmony Palace the whole day yesterday was because he forced himself to suppress the poison inhis body with his internal force, which led to a coma. Princess Harper saved him." Seeing Lilian waseating so fast that she was creating a huge mess, Miguel poured a cup of hot water and handed it toher. "Eat slowly. No one will take those from you."
"How was Princess Harper able to get rid of the Fantasy poison?" Lilian asked right after swallowing ahuge amount of food.
"Fantasy?" Miguel was taken aback. First of all, he didn't expect that Harper had been poisoned withFantasy. 'No wonder His Majesty didn't do anything: it's not that he didn't want to—he couldn't. He is soproud that he wouldn't like to be a substitute.'
After quickly realizing that she had broken her promise, Lilian immediately lowered her head andcontinued to eat. Miguel continued, saying, "I don't know what kind of poison that is, but one could onlyguess that it must have been Princess Harper who removed it. So you can rest assured that nothinghappened between His Majesty and her."
Lilian breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing really happened between Rolando and Harper, it only meantthat Rolando grounded solely because he was angry with her for the way she behaved. 'If I start beingobedient to everything he says, I would be fine. His Majesty would not be mad at me anymore!' shethought hopefully.
"Also, we've received news that Prince Matthew has already arrived at the capital. Unfortunately, westill haven't seen him," Miguel said slowly.
"It's easy to find Uncle Matthew. As long as you keep your eyes on Princess Harper, you will find him,"Lilian responded nonchalantly.
"What do you mean?"
"She's the apple of Uncle Matthew's eye. He loves her so much that there is no way he would be farfrom her if he's already in the capital. I don't know where he's hiding, but I am sure he'll be lurkingaround where that woman is," said Lilian, as if she knew everything well.
Miguel stared at Lilian, speechless for a while. Suddenly, he understood why Harper said she hadnothing to do with any of Lilian's issues: Lilian didn't feel an ounce of regret even after poisoningHarper. When she called Harper "that woman", he knew that she didn't deserve Harper's help.
"If Princess Harper is truly the apple of Prince Matthew's eye, wouldn't that mean that he won't spareanyone who dares hurt her?" Miguel asked in a low voice.
Lilian immediately froze up the moment she heard what Miguel said, and she almost dropped herchopsticks. With eyes wide due to shock, she turned to him. Yes, how could she forget that? Peoplecould bully and plot against Matthew as they wanted, but once they put their hands on Harper, hewould definitely make sure that they would regret doing what they did.
"It's not me who hurt her. It's my brother Francis!" Lilian said in a trembling voice. Suddenly, she felt asharp, piercing pain in her abdominal region. She caressed her belly as if to soothe what she wasfeeling and said, "My stomach, my stomach hurts!"
