Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 9

Sharp pain rushed through her every time a stick landed on her with a huge thud. Although Harper was dying in pain, she did not
even let out a yelping sound and continued to stare at Charles with her black, resentful eyes. A chill ran down Charles' spine, but
he regained his composure. He couldn't let Harper stay here any longer as he had gone through enough trouble because of her.
"Beat her! Beat her to death!" Charles ordered as he continued staring at his daughter.
"Stop this torture!" A voice boomed out of nowhere. The guards had paid no attention to the voice as they continued to hit her,
until a crutch smashed their skulls.
"Mother, why did you come back?" Charles began to tremble with fear as he saw his mother standing in front of him. He
swallowed loudly and quickly ushered her inside.
"Harper," the old woman cried painfully.
Harper's face was covered in blood as every inch of her body was wounded. It was a sorry sight. The old woman had thrown
herself at Harper, and hugged her tightly, before Harper could gather the strength to look at her grandmother. She began to wail
loudly seeing the state that Harper was in. The old woman sniffed and glared at Charles. "You are a monster! You want to kill
your own daughter. Beat me as well; let me die along with her," she growled in anger.
"Mother, what are you talking about? I wouldn't even think of harming you, not even in my dreams. This unfilial daughter has

caused a terrible disaster. If I don't punish her, I'm afraid our whole clan will be in trouble," Charles replied hurriedly, leaving no

"My Lady, are you okay?" Tears streamed down Nina's face. Harper was feeble and struggling hard to keep her eyes open as

blood. "It's my fault. Everything is my fault. I'm sorry it took very long for me to come back," she said in between sobs. "Mother, it's already late. Why didn't you inform us that you were coming? I would have..." Sue started. "Shut up!" the old woman, Mavis, yelled. "You are evil. You are the hostess of the Chu Clan, yet you can't even tolerate a child." "Mother, you have misunderstood me." Sue knelt down and bowed respectfully. "It isn't about me tolerating Harper, but she wanting her

going to kill her. How is that a small punishment?" Mavis was so angry that she hit Sue with her walking stick. Sue was hurt, but she didn't dare to dodge. "Mother, Felicia is also your granddaughter, but you only cares for Harper and doesn't care for Felicia at all. Felicia is still in danger," Sue cried loudly. "Grandma," Harper said as she held Mavis' hands. "Grandma, someone has framed me for this. I didn't do it." "Harper, Felicia had come

of the mansion. But Harper was smart enough to ask Nina to request Mavis to come back immediately.
"Grandma, I am innocent. Felicia was poisoned by some kind of deadly poison. If she hadn't taken the antidote in advance, the
poison would have killed her immediately. It is impossible even for the physician to cure her so easily. Unless she had prepared
the antidote in advance, it's impossible for her to be alive," Harper said grimly as she held Mavis' hands so tight that it began to
hurt her. She gathered all her strength to finish her words.
"Nonsense!" Sue exclaimed.

don't believe me, you can ask him to find out the truth. Moreover, it was Felicia who brought the food; I had no chance of poisoning her." Mavis' heart ached when she saw Harper's bloodied face. "Somebody, just go and
