Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 533

After thinking for a while, Hollis shook his head and said, "Prince Matthew hasn't shown himself openly in public here, yet. If I
approach him rashly, he may suspect that I'm having him watched. If so, matters would only get worse."
Hearing that, the private assistant also felt perturbed. "Then let's simply pretend that we're unaware of his presence. If Prince
Matthew makes a move to prevent Alexander Chu's execution, you can ask him to provide you the evidence. If he can do so, you
will release Alexander Chu accordingly. If Marquis Pearce raises an objection, you can tell him what Prince Matthew has done
and let him deal with Prince Matthew. Then the two powerful men will fight, while all you need do is watch their fight."
Hollis clapped his hands and said, "Excellent plan! It's settled then. I pretend that I don't know Prince Matthew has come to the
River City. As long as they don't show themselves openly, I will pretend to be ignorant of their arrival, until Alexander is

The emperor would be extremely relieved if Matthew died on the battlefield, but to his continual disappointment, Matthew was victorious in battle again and again, and always came back to the imperial capital alive, driving the emperor nearly to madness.

Pearce breathed a deep sigh. Of course he already knew that Matthew came here for the boy. If it weren't for the pressure
Pearce had put on the mayor, Alexander would not have been sentenced to death so soon. Alexander was only a nine-year-old
child, after all. A murderer had to pay with his own life, but he already knew that Alexander was not the real murderer. He knew
he should help absolve Alexander, but he still felt it wasn't fair for him.
"It's up to the government," Pearce said indignantly. He was the father of the victim, and his wife wiped her face with tears all day
long. Their entire mansion was overwhelmed with sadness. How could Matthew demand that he deal with Alexander's case at
