Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 257

"Don't worry about anything, okay? I'll make sure to protect your mansion with all my might until you wake up."
It took some time to prepare everything before Harper was finally ready to enter the prison and confront Denny. But when
Johnson and his daughter sighted her, they were immediately furious. "Harper Chu, how dare you show your face to us! You
deliberately gave us the wrong way to detoxify His Highness. You were plotting to destroy our reputation and disgrace us!"
Without even taking a look at them, Harper turned to Denny and said, "Matthew's toxins in his body broke out. He would die if we
can't detoxify him before sunset."
Denny paled slightly at her words. He knew that there was only one way out of that situation now: Matthew was going to die,
unless he was somehow cured. And yet he was now powerless to do anything about it. There was nothing else he could do.
"Denny, I need your help," Harper murmured softly, her eyes intent.
"Denny, don't you dare put any trust in this conniving woman," Johnson retorted. "She's only trying to use you for her own gain!"
He wasn't about to stand there and let Harper have her way.
"My help? How? To take the blame instead of you?" Denny snapped, mocking.
Harper only replied calmly, "There is an aphrodisiac added to Matthew's medicated bath. Did you put that into the bath because
you fell in love with him? Or did you want to lead him to another woman's bed?"
"Aphrodisiac? I don't know about anything like that!" Denny denied immediately. "The detoxifying process is incredibly delicate

and needs absolute caution. I wouldn't interfere with it with anything like that."
"So it wasn't you, then? Then who could it be?" Harper now leveled her gaze at Johnson and his daughter. "You were the one
who prepared the medical materials, weren't you? And you prepared the medicated bath. Only the three of you were present

could be none other than his own daughter that had drugged Matthew. Denny found himself coming to the same conclusion. But as he looked up to gaze at the father and daughter, he saw Rena's eyes swiftly look away with guilt. And it dawned upon him what had actually taken place: Rena had drugged Matthew, trying to get him to have sex with her, and ensnare him in such a way that he could never abandon her. She was

to such an outrage. It would only drive home the fact that Matthew would never marry her. "Honestly, I don't care who did this anymore. But I want all of you to know: If anything happens to Matthew, you will all die on the spot. Denny, Matthew has treated you

"No, I didn't..." Denny started to fluster, unable to come up with an answer to save him from the truth. He knew the writing was on
the wall. If he hadn't insisted on bringing Rena into this, Matthew would never have ended up this way. Defeated, he stammered,
"Do you have a way to save His Highness somehow?"
"Yes, I have. But I'm going to need your help," Harper said. "But to be perfectly honest, if you're not able to distinguish between
right and wrong, I don't dare allow you to help me!"
"I swear, I won't act recklessly in any way. I'll do whatever it takes to save His Highness." Denny's tone was pleading, emotion
wrenched in every word as he looked up. "Barry, please. Help me convince her to show me mercy. I just want to save His

Barry said coldly, "His Highness has made his orders clear: If anything were to happen to him, Her Highness would be the one in charge of making the decisions in the mansion." Denny stood rooted to the spot, astonished. Matthew's trust had been stripped away from him.
