Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 50

"Your Highness, a lotus lantern is lit up in the Chu Clan mansion." The guard came in and reported to Matthew. A gust of wind
came and Matthew, who was in a wheelchair, disappeared in the darkness.
Harper thought the masked man couldn't see her lotus lantern since it was too late at night. She thought that even if he saw it, he
would not come until the next day. She didn't expect to see him so soon.
"You want to see me?" A voice rang out in the darkness. Seeing that it was the masked man, Harper heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's so late. I didn't expect you to come here tonight." Harper was surprised. She straightened her clothes and found the man
leaning against the window, looking at her quietly.
"What do you want?" the man asked her directly. He already knew that something had happened. He had his own guess, and
based from the news coming from the Chu Clan mansion, there was something she needed to share with him. But he wanted
Harper to tell him herself.
After hesitating for a moment, Harper walked to the window. "You said you could get whatever you want. Is that true?"
"Of course."
"Can we get Yvonne's wedding dress?" Harper asked softly. "The dress will be sent to the Chu Clan mansion the day before the
wedding. I wouldn't have a chance to touch it."
"My guess was right. Those two women are ungrateful and vicious." There was a hint of mockery behind his words.
"Just as I expected," Harper calmly replied. "I've already reached my goal. If she hadn't been so greedy and tried to kill me, I
wouldn't have paid attention to them. There are many people who want me dead, and I'm not going to wait for anyone to kill me.
I'm not that kind of person who repays injury with kindness."
The man looked at Harper as if she was a puzzle he couldn't solve. He thought she would be sad and angry at being betrayed.
When the guard told him that Harper lit the lotus lantern at the Chu Clan mansion, he came as soon as he could. But she didn't
look angry or sad. She didn't look like she needed to be comforted, which he thought he'd be doing when he came here. Instead,
she looked calm and collected, as if she had already expected the worst.
"How can you remain calm after getting betrayed by the people you've trusted?" he asked, confused. He hated being betrayed
the most. Betrayals led to death. Therefore, he couldn't afford to be betrayed.

Harper shrugged her shoulders. "Before everything unfold, I've already thought of the worst thing that could happen. Since I've

already thought of the worst, I'm mentally prepared for the result."
"Do you want me to get Yvonne's wedding dress for you?" he asked, changing the topic.
Harper shook her head and took out a small green bottle. "No. I just need you to add something to her wedding dress."
"What's this?" He was about to open the lid when Harper stopped him, a surprised expression on her face.
"Don't open it!" Harper exclaimed in shock. She then realized that she was overreacted. But she didn't let go of his wrist and just
said awkwardly, "It's a bottle of philter."

give her this and get rid of her baby?" he asked slowly. Harper shook her head. She didn't have much interest in Yvonne, but she could use Yvonne for revenge. "She is not my goal." "You want to use Yvonne to drug Hansen!" Hansen was Harper's former fiance. She said she didn't care, but maybe she still had Hansen in her heart. The masked man felt a little uncomfortable at the thought. Harper didn't panic when the man saw through her. She said with composure, "Yes. I seek revenge for even the smallest grievance. He owed me a life." "Owe you a life?" The man was a little surprised. Harper didn't answer. Hansen owed the original owner of her body a life. If it weren't Hansen and Felicia who plotted against her, the original owner of her body wouldn't have died! She wanted to avenge the original owner of her body. "Will the effects wear off if I sprinkle it on

you will give me in return. First of all, I don't lack money." The man came closer to Harper and added in an extremely meaningful tone, "If you are willing to marry me—" "That would be a great loss for me!" Harper interrupted him. "Maybe I should murder my husband on

follow your so-called father's arrangement?"
"He can't control my life." Harper propped her cheek on her palm beside the window. The masked man leaned against her. It was
as if they had known each other for many years. "I'm in charge of my life."
"You have come of age. He will definitely settle an engagement for you in less than a year. What do you plan to do about it?" he
asked softly. There was something in his voice that sounded familiar, but she dismissed the thought.
Harper shook her head to get rid of those thoughts in her mind. "Before Hailey gets married, I still have a chance. If he wants to
stop me, then he's welcome to try."
"It's getting late. Go to bed early. I will arrange it well before the wedding dress is sent to the Chu Clan mansion. As for my
reward, I'll ask you for it later." The masked man disappeared after he finished his words. Harper's expression blurred in the
moonlight. She stretched out her fair hand, as if the moon was just an arm's length away. But tonight wasn't a night for fantasy
and longing. This life of hers, it wasn't for fantasy or romance. After a long time, she closed the window.
Carrie was mad that Harper threatened her, so she tried to poison her. But Harper didn't get poisoned. Carrie was both angry
and frightened. She would not dare make another move. She must be more careful. Otherwise, she would get into trouble.

She just locked herself inside her room without eating or drinking. The weather was hot, and the wounds on her body hadn't healed completely. Some of her wounds had even began to get inflamed and started festering. Although Sue was worried, she knew that the bruises on Felicia's body were not a big deal.
