Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 7

As soon as Harper returned to her yard, her maid, Nina, rushed to her anxiously. "What happened, My Lady? You went to deliver
the baby of General Maxwell's concubine yesterday. Lady Sue had us locked in the house and didn't allow me to go out. Are you
all right?"
Seeing the concern in the maid's eyes, Harper let out a weak smile and said, "I'm fine."
"Are you sure, My Lady?" asked Nina. Nina helped Harper enter her room and poured her a cup of warm water. Harper drank
some water and started to look better.
Harper looked up at Nina with a wry smile. "Nina, you have suffered a lot."
"Why are you talking like that, My Lady? What's wrong?" Nina held Harper's hand and shuddered. She looked at Harper's face
and asked, "Your hand is so cold. Did Lady Sue scold you?"
Harper shook her head. She was grounded by Charles. Sue and her daughter definitely would seize such a good opportunity.
After she had lost her position in the Imperial Academy of Medicine and was rejected by Hansen, they would take advantage of
her weak moment and try to kill her by all means. At this moment, the only person who could save her was Mavis, her
grandmother.
Harper turned towards Nina and gritted her teeth as she wrote something on her palm carefully. Nina was surprised, but she
remained silent. She looked at the handwriting carefully and nodded.
"Just go out secretly so that no one sees you. Remember, your attitude must be sincere when you tell her that I am truly wrong."
Harper then went into her room and took out a book of Buddhist sutras she had transcribed. She handed it to Nina and said,
"And one more thing. Remember to be as quick as possible. I'm afraid I don't have much time left now."
Nina was too frightened to say a word, but she understood the great significance of the task she was asked to complete. After
Nina left, Harper called in another maid. "Anabel, did Lady Sue give you some hard time yesterday?" she asked.
"No, My Lady. Lady Sue didn't do anything to make things difficult for us. She just locked the door and didn't allow anyone of us
to go out," Anabel answered respectfully. Although Harper was a little dominating, she was never harsh to her maids.
"My father grounded me. We can't go out of this place for a long time." Harper let out a pale smile. "Tell others to be careful and
not to provoke them."

"My Lady, why did His Lord ground you?" 'Although His Lord has a preference for Lady Hailey and Lady Felicia, I don't
understand why he decided to ground Lady Harper. Lady Harper will be the wife of Prince Kevin's heir in future. It's not wise to
offend Prince Kevin, ' Anabel thought to herself.
"Because Hansen has called off our engagement, and I have also lost my position in the Imperial Academy of Medicine," Harper

explained with a wry smile. "You'll have a tough time being my maid."
"How could His Highness call off the engagement? This marriage was proposed and agreed upon even before the two of you
were born! My Lady, what should we do now?" Anabel became unsettled to hear that. She knew it very well that it would be
difficult for Harper to find a husband in the future after Hansen called off the engagement.
"Just stop it now. Gather everyone here. I have something to tell." Harper took a deep breath, hoping that she could put up with it
and buy some time for Nina to bring back Mavis. Otherwise, she would die.

had been grounded by Charles and that she had even lost her position in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. "Now that you know my situation very well, you can understand that there is no future for you if you continue to follow me. If you are willing to leave my place, I will give you two taels of silver. If you are willing to stay, I won't treat you harshly. My father doesn't like me, and I believe I'll live a hard life from now on. Is there anyone who wants to leave?" Harper ended her speech and looked at her maids, waiting for them to answer. As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden silence befell the hall. All maids exchanged looks with each other. Harper was the daughter of Charles' first wife, who had passed away. She had two first-class maids, two second-class maids, two third-class maids, three cleaning maids, and a nanny. After a while, the three cleaning maids and the nanny stepped out together. They came to serve Harper only because she was going to marry Hansen, the heir of Prince Kevin. Now

me." Two second-class maids knelt down immediately and kowtowed to Harper. Anabel opened her mouth to say something, but she was stopped by Harper. She instructed Anabel to give them the money and let them go. "And? What about the two of you?

"My Lady, I am willing to serve you." Both of them, then, knelt and kowtowed to Harper. "You have always been nice to us, My
Lady. Now that you are in trouble, we will not leave you!"
Harper nodded with satisfaction. Although the former owner of this body was dominating, fortunately, she had some loyal maids
by her side. "Since you've decided to stay, I have something to say. As my maids, you don't need to be clever or eloquent, but
you must be loyal. If anyone is ever proved to be disloyal, then she will face extreme consequences. Do you still want to serve
me after hearing this?"
Enya and Elsie looked at each other and answered decisively, "Yes."
Sue was well aware of what was going on in the Emerald House, but she did not comment.
"Mother, this is a good chance!" Felicia said.
"Yeah, this indeed is a good chance," Sue said with a sneer. "Felicia, Harper has given you such a good marriage, and you
should go and thank her."
Felicia raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Of course I should thank her. Had it not been for her, I could have had the chance to
marry His Highness!"
"Go ahead then. Your father will be in my room tonight."
"All right." Felicia nodded. After that, she left.

wait any longer. They didn't want to spare a single day to get rid of her. After that, they could prove her death to be a suicide following her rejection by Hansen. In this way, Sue and Felicia could remove the biggest hurdle

to poison me?' If Harper got Poisoned, Mavis
