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 what had happened—she
couldn't believe that Rolando would treat her the way he did, and that he would detest the baby inside of her womb because of
Harper! At this point, she began regretting scheming with Francis to make moves against Harper, but there was no way in the
world that would allow her to undo 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 the Great Jade Kingdom. Even the maids and eunuchs
now had a reason to be rude to her! The only plausible reason that Miguel, the prime minister, was visiting her at this time was
because he wanted to take 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 sighed deeply. "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 a tray 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 nothing to have her." Lilian raised her head to look at Miguel. "You said nothing
happened between His Majesty and Harper?" "Yes," Miguel answered solemnly. "Nothing has happened between them. Now
eat. Even though you don't feel like ingesting something, the baby in your belly needs some nutrition to survive." Miguel gently

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.
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 from leaving. Miguel looked at the hand that grabbed his arm before sitting back down slowly. Lilian then picked
up the utensils and hurriedly stuffed her mouth with the delicious dishes in front of her. "But didn't His Majesty stay in the
Harmony Palace the whole day yesterday?" she asked in between spoonfuls of food.
"Well, he was also poisoned," Miguel answered in a serious tone. "The sole reason that he stayed at the Harmony Palace the
whole day yesterday was because he forced himself to suppress the poison in his body with his internal force, which led to a
coma. Princess Harper saved him." Seeing Lilian was eating so fast that she was creating a huge mess, Miguel poured a cup of
hot water and handed it to her. "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 a huge amount of food.
"Fantasy?" Miguel was taken aback. First of all, he didn't expect that Harper had been poisoned with Fantasy. 'No wonder His
Majesty didn't do anything: it's not that he didn't want to—he couldn't. He is so proud that he wouldn't like to be a substitute.'

After quickly realizing that she had broken her promise, Lilian immediately lowered her head and continued to eat. Miguel
continued, saying, "I don't know what kind of poison that is, but one could only guess that it must have been Princess Harper
who removed it. So you can rest assured that nothing happened between His Majesty and her." Lilian breathed a sigh of relief. If
nothing really happened between Rolando and Harper, it only meant that Rolando grounded solely because he was angry with
her for the way she behaved. 'If I start being obedient to everything he says, I would be fine.
His Majesty would not be mad at me anymore!' she thought hopefully.
"Also, we've received news that Prince Matthew has already arrived at the capital. Unfortunately, we still 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 far from her if he's already in
the capital. I don't know where he's hiding, but I am sure he'll be lurking around 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 had nothing to do with any of
Lilian's issues: Lilian didn't feel an ounce of regret even after poisoning Harper. 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 spare anyone 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 her chopsticks. With eyes wide
due to shock, she turned to him. Yes, how could she forget that? People could bully and plot against Matthew as they wanted,
but once they put their hands on Harper, he would 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 a sharp, piercing pain in her
abdominal region. She caressed her belly as if to soothe what she was feeling and said, "My stomach, my stomach hurts!".
