Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

"I always know that you treat me the best, darling," Harper said. A bright smile bloomed on her face, giving out tender light on
that cold night.
A few moments after then, it began to snow again. The whole River City was covered in white, casting a magical glow all over
the place.
When Harper woke up the next morning, Matthew wasn't by her side. Instead, Forsythia was standing by the bed. Seeing that
Harper was finally awake, she asked, "Your Highness, you're awake. It's snowing outside very heavily. Would you like to go out
and have a look?"
"Help me freshen up," Harper stated, ignoring Forsythias' question. Harper got up, got dressed, and freshened up. Only after
then did she asked, "Where is Matthew?"
"His Highness went out when it began snowing last night and hasn't come back yet. He said that he was going to deal with

In a more lively tone, she asked, "Are you going out for a walk after breakfast?" "No, I am not. I have missed a lot of courses recently and I can't even go to school in the near future, so I'm afraid that I'll be way behind my classmates when I finally go back. If I don't seize this opportunity to make up for the lost time, by then, it will be impossible for me to catch up to them." Harper picked up a steamed stuffed bun and put it in his bowl. She then

Matthew briefly responded. He then took off his cloak and handed it

and one more bowl. Matthew sat down next to Harper and ate his breakfast with them. "Has the matter been settled?" Harper casually asked. Although Matthew had meticulously cleaned himself on the way back, she could still smell a faint scent of blood from him. With a steamed bun in his hand, Matthew nodded and said, "All is done."
