Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 112

Hailey worked fast. After just two days, she came across the book which Harper had prepared especially for her. Based on what
she discovered in the medical book, she decided to perform a blood test on Sue. To her surprise, the result matched the
description written in the medical book.
"My Lady..." Abigail, Hailey's maid, was too shocked to finish her words.
"Mother was poisoned!" Hailey exclaimed. "Harper probably wasn't expecting that I would actually check the medical books or
even borrow these medical books from her. Otherwise, she would have already disposed of this medical book long ago."
"My Lady, are you implying that Lady Harper poisoned Lady Sue?" Abigail asked, confused.
"Of course. Who else could it be?" Hailey said in a cold tone. "Think about it. Who's benefiting most from Mother's illness?"
"Of course it's Lady Harper, My Lady. She has taken over the domestic affairs of the mansion ever since Lady Sue has gotten ill.
Right now, she holds a power that's befitting her identity," Abigail said, taking a guess. "Even if we know that Lady Harper
poisoned Lady Sue, we don't have any evidence to prove it."
"This is the evidence!" Hailey blurted out as she waved the medical book she was holding in her hand. "Harper is the best
physician in the mansion. It will be easy for her to do some research and make the poison, Nightmare. I must tell Father about
the truth. Now that she dared to poison Mother, I'm sure she would have no qualms about poisoning Father as well. Father is
going to hate such a vile woman."
"That's right. Prime Minister Charles will seek vengeance for Lady Sue," Abigail nodded.

Without delay, Hailey went to see Charles, who just got back home from the imperial court session. His face darkened almost
instantly at the sight of Hailey scurrying toward him. "What is it? What is so urgent?"
"Father, it's serious. Someone has poisoned Mother!"

soon as Hailey said those words, Charles felt his eyelids twitch. Were people aware that he poisoned Sue? How could they have found out? Nightmare was a type of poison that couldn't possibly be discovered by any test. Apart from that, Kelly, his first wife, had also been given the same poison and no one had ever suspected and found out about it even after all this time. "What on earth are

as you think." Hearing him say that made Hailey feel a bit anxious. She brought out the medical book, showed it to Charles and said, "Father, take a look at this. This is the medical book I found in Harper's study. It clearly records the poison called Nightmare, its symptoms and the way to test it. I have already done a test on Mother. She was indeed poisoned with Nightmare. Given the fact that it is a very gentle poison, whoever wants it to work has to add it into Mother's food or drink every day.

your command. We're going to catch this person."
Taking the medical book, Charles went ahead and read it carefully. This sent a shiver down his spine. This book belonged to
Harper, so she must have read it already. Had Harper ever doubted about Sue's illness? If that were the case and she found out
about Nightmare, would she begin to suspect that he had done the same thing to Kelly? No! No! That couldn't be! Harper was
still an infant when Kelly died. There was no way for her to know about it. Right now, all he had to do is make sure Hailey
wouldn't say a word to others about her suspicion and the contents of the book. If he managed to do that, everything would be
just fine.

open in disbelief as she watched this. Sue's life was on the line and yet her father didn't even care about it, not even a bit. What was worse, he simply tore up the book that could
