Chapter 891 A Ruthless Emperor (Part One)


    As ominous light filled the Harmony Pce, the secret guards stationed in the immediate vicinity


    quickly gathered to report the abnormal phenomenon to Rndo. Rndo was at first rmed and


    confused by this development, but he quickly came to the realization that it must have been Harper


    who caused this. ''She must have already obtained thest Heavenly Book and is now unveiling its


    deepest secrets. That might be the reason for the appearance of such light!'' he thought. And he was


    right—Harper was the only key that would be able to decode the secrets embedded in the Heavenly


    Books.


    "To the Harmony Pce now," he announced at once. He was craving to know more.


    Meanwhile, in the Harmony Pce, Harper was already under a magical state of consciousness. Every


    character that could be found in the Heavenly Book had turned into what seemed like small people,


    and they flew and danced joyously in the air before they rushed into her body. Soon, she began the


    ritual—she closed her eyes and chanted as her hand performed the chant''s apanying


    choreography. Unfortunately, it turned out that the Heavenly Books of the Qin n did not record any


    method that one could do to achieve immortally—they merely recorded the cultivation methods of the


    Qin n.


    When Rndo arrived, he found himself unable to enter Harper''s room no matter what he did. It was


    as if there was an invisible wall along its perimeters, preventing any outsider from entering.


    "What''s going on?" Rndo asked in a panicked tone as he stretched his hands out to feel what was


    hindering him from even touching the door. When he felt and confirmed that indeed, there was an


    invisible barrier that was surrounding the room where Harper was, he began to strike it, hoping to break


    it down. His first strike, however, made it clear that it would be impossible for him to do that: his knuckle


    just bounced off of the unseen force field. ''Is this because of the Heavenly Books? What kind of


    powerful secret was it keeping hidden?'' he thought.


    "Your Majesty, I don''t think we would be able to enter Princess Harper''s room no matter what we do,"


    Fernando said helplessly.


    "Ah!" A pained scream suddenly came from inside the room. The moment Rndo heard it, his face


    became drained of blood. "Harper! Harper! What is happening in there? Are you all right? Harper!" he


    screamed at the top of his lungs as he continued to strike the invisible barrier, hoping to break it.


    Inside, Harper was experiencing something she had never experienced before. As the incredibly potent


    and powerful energy came into her body, she felt as if all her bones were about to break. The pure,


    untethered power of the Qin n was so formidable that even though the strength of her willpower was


    above average, she was only barely able to handle it. Soon enough, she found herself spitting out


    blood as the damage on her body worsened. Spiritual powerid heavily on her that she felt like a knife


    was being wedged inside her, slowly cutting her body in half.


    Her agonized screams came one after another, making the people who were helplessly waiting outside


    be filled with anxiety and dread.


    Patrick, upon seeing Harper rolling on the ground screaming in pain, immediately rushed over to help


    her. Before it could even get remotely close to where she was, however, a powerful force had it flying to


    the invisible barrier, and soon, it dropped on the ground, which looked rather hrious.


    At that very moment, Rndo suddenly felt a profound feeling of weakness that even supporting his


    own weight seemed impossible. His hands found his chest and clung to it as if they were trying to


    prevent it from falling apart. Cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead. "Your Majesty, what''s


    happening to you? Are you hurt?" Fernando asked in an rmed tone when he saw what was


    happening.


    As much as Rndo wanted to exin to him what he was going through, he couldn''t. He felt as if his


    heart was being crushed into a million tiny pieces, and his body was being weighed down by something


    unseen. The pain was so unbearable that he felt like it was killing him. At that same time, Harper''s


    screams were bing weaker and weaker, as if she was close to perishing.


    "Harper..." Rndo muttered as sweat continued to drip down his face. He looked so weak and frail


    that one would think he might fall down and lose consciousness at any minute. Fernando immediately


    tried to take him away to have him attended to, but he refused to leave.


    "Call the imperial physicians! Call the imperial physicians!" Fernando called loudly at once.


    Rndo weakly shook his head. While he didn''t fully know or understand what was happening inside


    Harper''s room, he was well aware that the imperial physicians wouldn''t be much of a help to him. The


    only one who could treat and save him was Harper, but she was locked inside the room, experiencing


    something horrible! She was in grave danger and she badly needed help!


    As the Harmony Pce became engulfed with fear and uncertainty, the situation at the Bliss Pce


    didn''t look any better. Miguel''s efforts to seek help for Lilian proved to be fruitless as when he finally


    arrived with the medicine Harper gave him, Lilian already had a miscarriage. With pools of blood


    around her, her servants and maids could not do anything but look on and tremble with fear. The


    imperial physician tending to her looked lost and defeated as he wasn''t able to save the baby.


    Miguel stood still at the doorway of Lilian''s room for a minute, stunned by what he was seeing. Quickly,


    however, he collected himself, helped Lilian sit up, and fed her the medicine. While sad because the


    baby had died, he could not afford to let Lilian suffer the same fate.


    Lilian felt cold to the touch, and so Miguel began transforming his internal force to share it with her. As


    he did that, he ordered the servants to clean up the mess. The imperial physician stood aside, not


    knowing what to do.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    After a while, Lilian began to look like she was feeling much better. She dozed off for a bit, and when


    she woke up, the first thing she saw was Miguel. Deep inside, she felt a sense of disappointment—she


    was expecting someone else to be by her side, a different man to save her. "My baby. How is my


    baby?" she asked, her voice still crackly.


    Miguel didn''t answer and just averted his gaze so that it wouldn''t meet Lilian''s. Sensing that something


    was gravely wrong, she looked down on her belly to touch it, only to find that her previously bulging


    belly was already t. It only meant one thing—her baby was gone. With wide and teary eyes, she


    shrieked, "My baby! Where is my baby?!"


    "I''m sorry, Lady Lilian. We were not able to save your baby," Miguel responded, sounding devastated.


    He knew that it would be difficult for her to ept this cruel fact. "There was nothing we could do. I am


    so sorry."


    "My baby! My baby! What did you do with my baby!" Lilian hysterically cried out. "I want my baby back!


    Without it, His Majesty would stop caring about me! Give my baby back to me!"


    "He won''t stop caring about you! Trust me on this, Lady Lilian!" Miguel said in a firm tone in an effort to


    comfort the despairing woman. He sympathized with what Lilian was feeling, but he knew that she


    should not let it control her. "Please, you must rest now. It wouldn''t be good for you if you continue to


    stress out yourself like this."
