Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

"Your Highness, please tell the little beast to stop it, or else it'll destroy the book."
"It can play with the book if it likes. If Patrick ruins it, we can just roast and eat that little beast." Harper then glared at Patrick. The
creature trembled and the book in its claw almost fell onto the floor. It cautiously looked at Harper. Then it put the book down and
ran to a corner to draw circles, as if it was complaining its master was too scary and it was having a hard life.
Forsythia quickly took the Heavenly Book and put it in front of Harper. The princess opened it and stared at the blank part in a
daze. She had already reached the key point of developing her spiritual power, but the key part of the book was still gone. There
must be a way to make the contents of the last part appear.
Subconsciously, Harper tapped her fingers on the table. It had been her habit if she was thinking quite deeply. The three
Heavenly Books were now in order, and another one was in the hands of Matthew. She had two of them, but the key contents
were lost. Even if they got the Sacred Seal from the Wonder Kingdom, it would be useless. She still wouldn't be able to pass the
trial in the Death Pool.
Forsythia didn't dare to interrupt Harper. She just silently stood behind her, waiting for her commands. Suddenly, an idea
occurred to Harper. 'Would the later part appear when the three Heavenly Books are put together?' she thought.
She got excited and turned to look at Patrick which was still cursing its unscrupulous master in the corner. Suddenly, it felt like
the air had turned cold. As it turned around, it saw Harper smiling at it maliciously. Patrick was so scared that it immediately
leaned against the corner. It rolled its eyes and wondered what it had done to make her upset.
"You can get out of the Imperial Palace," Harper said while attentively looking at Patrick. Patrick put on a vigilant expression on
its face. It had to watch out whenever the heartless master had come up with some sort of an idea. But as soon as it was
prepared for whatever was to come, it was easily bought over by Harper with a bottle of pills. "Go and find Matthew. Bring me the
Heavenly Book in his hand. If you failed to bring it back, I'll perform a small surgery to make you a female!" Harper then smiled,
but to Patrick, it looked more like a smirk. Hearing these words, Patrick hurriedly stood up with its legs. It stopped chewing the
pill in its mouth and desperately nodded. For the sake of its genitalia, Patrick was determined to bring back the Heavenly Book. It

didn't matter if it had to steal the book, and it had to take it back. "Go ahead. I'll be waiting for some good news from you." Harper
waved her hand to urge Patrick to leave. It jumped up to the window and disappeared right before Harper's eyes.
"Can Patrick do it, Your Highness?" "Except for that little beast, can anyone of us go out?" Harper put the Heavenly Book back in
the box. Instead of hiding it, she just casually put it on the dresser.
It was that time when Miguel came over so he saw what Harper did. He was taken back to when Rolando put the book in a
closet. Back then, he thought that Rolando was being too casual in keeping it. But upon seeing how Harper did it, Miguel thought
that she was even more casual in this aspect. It was the Heavenly Book that everyone wanted. It was not just a common book
that could be found everywhere!
"Your Highness."
"I heard that you and Rolando attacked my husband last night." Harper interrogated Miguel, so the latter held back what he
wanted to say and cautiously answered, "No, I didn't—" "But from what I heard, you slapped my husband so hard that he spat
out blood on the spot." Refusing to let it pass, Harper looked at Miguel. Although she didn't show any emotion on her face, he felt
intimidated. He was so stunned that he couldn't move for a while. "I was under a command. That's the only reason why I did that.
I didn't
want to hurt him either."
"So, you admit that you hurt my husband?" Harper twisted her wrist while holding a silver needle between her fingers. It reflected
a sharp light, causing Miguel to step back.
"Your Highness, please listen to me. His Highness got hurt, but it wasn't that serious. Besides, I'm here to tell you something
else." Miguel thought how much of a coward he was in front of Harper, but he had no other option. Harper had very powerful
martial arts skills and he was not a match for her. What was more, Rolando favored her very much. If she reported his
misconduct to Rolando, the emperor would forget their friendship in front of his beloved Harper. Miguel was sure that Rolando
wouldn't even hesitate to deal with him when the time came.

"What is it?" Harper nonchalantly asked.
Miguel dragged a chair and sat down. "His Majesty has grounded Lady Lilian."
"What does it have to do with me?" Harper was still indifferent.
Miguel asked in surprise, "Aren't you friends with her? Isn't she a princess from your nation? How come her trouble has nothing
to do with you?"
Looking at Miguel, Harper calmly said, "Prime Minister Miguel, haven't you seen that I'm under house arrest, too? Not only that,
but there are also a lot of guards outside. Do you think I can fly out of the Harmony Palace to help her?"
"If you can talk with His Majesty about it, I'm sure he will be more lenient with her."
Upon hearing that, Harper sneered and then asked, "Be more lenient? Sorry but her business has really nothing to do with me!"
