Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 73

Maxwell quickly drank a cup of tea. Seeing that, Harper stood up and refilled his cup. But he drank it up soon again, and she
refilled his cup one more time. Seeing that he was about to drain another cup of tea, she stopped him and said, "General, I
suggest you taste the tea carefully with your tongue."
"For me, it tastes the same. I drink solely to relieve my thirst. I don't care whether it's tea or water." After drinking the tea,
Maxwell stared at Harper with his tiger-like eyes.
Harper touched her face, convinced that there was nothing on her face. "General, I don't think you invited me here to enjoy the
tea."
Maxwell remained silent for a while. Harper was patient. She didn't urge him to say anything. Instead she continued drinking tea.
Finally, he opened his mouth and asked, "Harper, can I trust you?"
"What did you mean by that, General?" asked Harper in confusion.
"If all the physicians in the world say that a person is healthy, but you check his body and figure out that he is actually sick, what
would you do? Would you consider him sick or not?" Maxwell asked, in order to make sure whether Harper was a trustworthy
person to him.
"Of course he is sick!" Harper replied decisively.
"What if you will be killed on claiming he is sick? Would that deter you from speaking the truth?" Maxwell asked further.
"In that case, I would tell the patient that he is actually sick. On the other hand, I will hide this fact from others. That would be

perfect! The patient is given the truth whereas others are given what they want to hear. It would be like hitting two birds with one
stone. Does that sound like a good solution?" As she spoke, Harper adopted a low voice. If it weren't for the fact that Maxwell's
hearing was excellent, he would have barely heard her.

"General, I think you have a short fuse," Harper said. What she just said seemed to be irrelevant to the topic they were talking about. However, when Maxwell realized Harper was talking about something else to remind that someone might be watching them secretly, he stiffened for a second. He then stood up all of a sudden and swept the desserts on the table to the floor. He grabbed

panic. "Harper Chu, you should feel grateful when I show you my respect!" Maxwell shouted. He was a man of authority and was used to speaking in a loud voice. "Let me tell you this. I want to take you as a concubine! I think you should feel honored!" 'Holy shit!' was Harper's thought. Harper put a little strength on his wrist which almost made him cry out with pain. But he was relieved to have asked her this question. He knew that Harper had a bad reputation, so it took him ages

"General, you'd better not force me! That's not what a gentleman is supposed to do!"
"Do you have the right to say no? If I tell the emperor about my desire, he will immediately agree. In that case, you will have no
right to refuse me!" Maxwell roared so loudly that almost everyone on the street could hear him. Harper really wanted to give him
a big blow, and she really did it.
Harper slapped Maxwell in the face so hard that all the onlookers on the second floor heard it. It took everyone by surprise. They
had never expected that Harper would be bold enough to hit the general. General Maxwell was the favorite subordinate of the
emperor. The emperor thought highly of him. Everyone thought that Harper should feel extremely lucky and honored to be

Maxwell turned around and saw Zack standing not far from them. On his face, a gentle and warm smile was plastered. "Nice to meet you, Zack." Maxwell loosened his hand which had
