Forensic Imperial Concubine

"I don't think Francis has any grudges against Harper. You should know that she cured him." Shawn refused to believe that
Francis would be so ungrateful as to do such a thing.
"Francis loves Harper devotedly, but she only has eyes for Uncle Matthew. She even set a trap for Francis because of him.
Francis had become vicious after Harper did that, and he couldn't get over it. He became determined to kill her. I came to the
imperial capital to warn her, and it would be fine if you can tell this to her. Well, I've said what I wanted to say. I'm leaving now."
Jason then flicked the dust off his robe and prepared to leave.
"Wait! Whose side are you on? Who on earth are you trying to help?" Shawn asked, stopping Jason in his tracks.
With a bitter smile on his face, Jason looked at his right hand and said, "Both the palm and back of my hand are nothing but flesh
and blood. Who do you think I'm helping? I care about both of them and as much as possible, and don't want anything bad to
happen to them."
"If there is only one between the two of them who should survive, who will you choose?" Shawn suddenly asked. He wasn't a vile
person, but he had to be cautious when it came to Harper.
"If you can only save one person, who will you chose, your sister or Harper?" Jason asked with a small smile.
Shawn frowned and said, "That's different!"
"It's the same for me. One is my brother and the other is someone I had so much to share with. I can already consider her as my
sister. I won't give up either of them! Shawn Shen, a lot of things in this world are difficult to deal with. I don't know when it will
happen to you. So until then, just think about your feelings now and enjoy your life," Jason nonchalantly said.
"Why don't you go and see His Majesty? He is kind-hearted. He didn't blame you for everything that happened. Instead, he put
all the blame on Prince Francis. It's obvious that His Majesty doesn't want to have you executed. Prince Francis is your brother,
so is His Majesty. He understands what happened. If possible, just go and see him. Perhaps you will change your mind," Shawn
advised.
Jason didn't respond and disappeared soon enough. No matter what, he couldn't go and see the emperor. He felt guilty for the
countless things that he had done in secret these past few years. Everything he had done was unforgivable. Not only the
emperor, but Harper would be right in not forgiving him. Therefore, he didn't want to face them, or actually, he wouldn't dare to.
"She might be leaving the capital very soon. There's a chance that you will never see her again," Shawn said while looking at the
direction that Jason disappeared.

Jason hadn't gone too far, so he heard what Shawn said. But he didn't know who he was referring to, so he didn't know that he
would miss the opportunity to face Harper and admit his mistakes.
In fact, everyone knew that Jason had come back to the imperial capital, but they just pretended not to know. After all, he had
always been on Francis' side. Harper even suspected that Francis might have returned because the two were inseparable. She
was actually still hesitating if she should send someone to follow Jason.
"You want someone to tail after him?" Matthew asked, as if he could read Harper's mind with one glance. But what he knew for
sure was that Harper didn't have the heart to kill Francis, and more precisely, she still regarded Jason as a friend.
Touching her face, Harper asked, "Am I that obvious? When I was in the South Kingdom, Francis had really wanted me to die. I
don't miss the bond that we have, but Jason..."
"After Jason left the imperial capital, he parted ways with Francis. Since you don't want to make things difficult for Jason, just let
him be. If he were to be an enemy in the future, then you will have to make the decision on your own. By the way, His Majesty
told me today that I should leave for the Great Jade Kingdom as soon as possible. After all, our princess is going to be the
empress of another kingdom. He told us that we can't slack off," Matthew said while patting Harper's head.
"I can't leave now. Physician Gore hasn't come back and agreed to take care of Wendy yet. Also, she hasn't recovered so I have
to wait until her condition stabilizes." Harper didn't want to leave Wendy during this critical time. She had taken over the
treatment, so she wouldn't abandon her midway into the process. She wouldn't go anywhere until she was sure that there
wouldn't be complications in Wendy's recovery.
"I know, so we can just go on with our plan. I'm going to the Great Jade Kingdom first. Although I don't know what Rolando is
going to do, he must have his own plan. What he wants should be the Heavenly Book in my hands. I'll go there first and you
catch up with me later." Matthew explained his plan.
Harper thought about it and agreed right away. Rolando had never hidden his intentions. He had stayed in the Bright Dynasty for
five years just for the Heavenly Book, so it was natural that he would want to get the last Heavenly Book which he didn't have.
However, Harper also wanted the Heavenly Book in Rolando's hands, even just to read its contents for a while. Harper had been
thinking that they could make a deal.
"If you can't make it, you can just stay here. You don't really need to go there. I will get Rolando's Heavenly Book for you."
Matthew was still worried because Rolando was resourceful. Moreover, he was afraid that Harper would go to the Great Jade

Kingdom and risk herself. But if he didn't allow her to go, he was also anxious that she would go to some extremes just to
acquire the last Heavenly Book.
Sensing his worries, Harper held his hand. "Don't worry, I know what I should do. Just go ahead and come to the Great Jade
Kingdom first. I'll catch up with you and protect myself."
