Chapter 630 Volunteer To Pray (Part One)


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


    Harper to go to the Imperial Pce 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, Andymented 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 Pce, 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 aa. While struggling to


    remainposed in front of everyone, Andy steeled his resolve and said, "Well, His Majesty has


    slipped into aa and needs to be treated right away..."


    "Andy, my wife will head to the Imperial Pce 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 be 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 ce 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 tly 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 Pce 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 Pce. Throughout the entire day, she had been feeling so sluggish. In fact, when she got


    inside the carriage, she even used Matthew''sp as a pillow and slept all the way.


    The emperor was currently in a severea, 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 dy, 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 pce, he didn''t get off the carriage and asked the coachman to take them directly into


    the Imperial Pce.


    Seeing this, the officials then frantically followed them to the Imperial Pce. 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 nced at Maxwell. Maxwell used to


    be such a ferocious man. Buttely, 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 n 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.
