Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 258

Denny looked at Harper in disbelief and couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Are you kidding me, Your Highness?" Denny asked, puzzled at the situation.
Harper sneered, a smile creeping onto her face. "Do you think I'm someone who will joke about my life?"
"But His Highness was poisoned severely. I've tried my best over the years but failed to detoxify him. You said that you could
with the blood in your heart. Wasn't that a joke?" Denny had thought Harper had gone mad. If she could detoxify Matthew with
the blood in one's heart, Denny would have killed countless people and taken their blood to save Matthew.
Without answering, Harper slit Matthew's wrist and then dripped the black poisoned blood into a teacup before slitting her palm.
As her fresh blood dripped, the poisoned blood turned into a bright crimson color.
"Your blood..." Denny gasped at the sight.
Harper's blood continued to flow into the teacup. "I'm immune to any poison. But Matthew's toxins are so ferocious that blood
alone can't detoxify him. I was supposed to use the poison of the Tribulation Flower to suppress the toxins in his body and then
use the Golden Cicada which is raised with my fresh blood to detoxify him." Harper's voice drawled. "But you three destroyed
everything."
"What?" Denny couldn't believe what he was hearing. He pulled himself together. "Aren't you a spy sent by His Majesty? Why
would you sacrifice yourself to save His Highness?" Ultimately, Harper was an enemy, a spy sent by the emperor. She wouldn't
risk her life simply for Matthew's sake.
"When did I become His Majesty's spy? Is it because His Majesty betrothed me to Matthew? Who do you think can force him to
marry me if he insists not?" Harper demanded.
Denny's mouth left agape, he was unable to refute her. No one could force Matthew to do what he didn't want to. Matthew had
killed his three fiancees because he didn't want to marry them. He would never marry a woman he didn't want.
"So..."
The air was thick, almost suffocating.
"She has been working for His Highness from the very beginning," Barry explained. After all, he had known Denny for years and
didn't want his paranoia taking over. "Your enmity towards Her Highness is very obvious, thought you may not have noticed that.

Didn't you notice that the secret guards around Her Highness have doubled in number since you returned to this mansion? It was
His Highness arranged this. As long as the three of you take any action against Her Highness, he will have the three of you killed
right here."
Denny forced a wry smile. He was worried that Harper was a spy, so he stood his guard against her. He had even tried to

instigate Matthew to divorce his wife and marry Rena. If Matthew didn't divorce, Denny had even planned to kill Harper. But in
Matthew's eyes, to everyone's surprise, Harper was more important than anyone else.
"It's dangerous to extract blood from your heart. You'll die if it's not done right," Denny said before he hesitated for a moment. "If
you die in the process—"
"Don't worry," Harper cut him off. "You don't need to do it. What you need to do is detoxify Matthew as I say. I'll take the blood
myself." She paused before letting out a sigh of relief. "But remember, you only have seven days. If neither I nor Matthew wakes
up in seven days..." Her voice trailed off.

first. If you have any questions, ask me. We still have some time." Denny quickly skimmed through the method. It was very simple, but it would be troublesome to use the blood of Harper's heart. It wasn't difficult to him as a skilled physician, so he agreed. "No problem." "I'll send someone to bring my blood here," Harper said before turning to leave. "Get a head start on preparations." She promptly left. Denny didn't know how Harper would draw the blood, but he knew it was highly risky. As long as he didn't take the blood himself, it had nothing to do with him even if she died. Once Matthew awoke, Denny wouldn't be accused of it. It wasn't long before Forsythia came, and the blood

House, but he was stopped by a secret guard. "Mister Zack, this is the place where

"She's in a coma," Forsythia said, her voice low. "Drawing blood from the heart is harmful to one's health and can take a lot out
of a person. Her Highness has been weak in recent years and it's taken a toll on her. She, too, is in a coma."
As Zack looked down at a pale and unconscious Harper, his heart sank. "When will she wake?"
"I'm not a physician. I don't know how long it will take before Her Highness wakes up. She just instructed us to feed her a pill
every day." Forsythia's expression showed nothing but worry. She was worried about what Matthew would do if he woke up and
knew what had happened to his wife.
"At least she's alive," Zack said, letting out a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to probe too much. It was what she wanted to save
Matthew, and he couldn't stop her. Besides, the couple loved each other, and he had missed his opportunity. He and Harper
would never be together.
"You can only call for an imperial physician after His Highness awakens. If we let the imperial physician in at this moment, people
will doubt us. Before he wakes up, I will help him guard this mansion," Zack said and then turned to Nina. "Nina."
"Mister Zack," Nina responded.
"You must have served Harper for far longer than any other maids," Zack said with a kind smile. Even though he felt heartbroken
and could hardly breathe because of the pain, he still wore a smile.
"Yes, Mister Zack."

anything, it wasn't in his nature to express it in the beginning. Quite the contrary, even if he had achieved his goals, others would think he was forced to do so. Nina hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Her Highness was almost killed because of General Maxwell's issue. They knew each other at that time
