Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 555

The carriage ride home took a rather slow pace. So much so that there were several times Harper doubted whether the carriage
had actually stopped or not. However, every time she opened the curtain to check, she found that they were still moving, and it
was just that they were moving so slow that she couldn't feel any bumps on the road. It shouldn't be that far, and they could
probably reach the imperial capital in six days. That day also happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year. But Matthew
kept on asking the carter to slow down, leaving them with no choice but to spend the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday on
their way home.
Although Owen was so worried about Francis' condition, he didn't dare to complain. After all, Matthew and Harper had planned
to celebrate the Lunar New Year in the River City. But because of his sudden arrival, they had to spend it on the road. For that
reason, Owen would never dare to have any complaint, even when the couple went off somewhere else on their own for an
entire day on the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday.
That being said, seven days had gone after the Lunar New Year. Yet, they were still just halfway to the imperial capital. At the
rate that they were travelling, Owen couldn't help but wonder if they would still be able to get back to the imperial capital.
The pace at which they were going was much too slow for Harper as well. They could only cover about thirty miles per day. If
they continued travelling like this, it was highly likely that they wouldn't arrive at the imperial capital until next year.
"Darling, when are we going to reach the imperial capital at this pace?" Harper asked with a smile. And she thought, 'What the
hell is he up to?'
"You're still weak. I'm afraid that the long ride home won't be good for your health. If we go fast, the carriage would keep shaking,

and you might not be able to stand it," Matthew carefully said, without taking his eyes off of the book he was reading in his hand.
Taking a quick glance at it, Harper found that it was a book about Go.
"Since when were you interested in reading such a book?" As far as Harper could remember, he had never picked up the Go

take a liking to the Go book. Hearing this, Matthew looked up at Harper and then continued reading the book. 'How could I not read it?' he thought to himself. He had been quite proud of his superb Go skills, but he lost when he played Go with Zack for the first time. Upon the thought of the

Harper cast a glance at Matthew. As it turned out, Matthew didn't like to lose. But when he lost to her in the past, he didn't hold a grudge against her and didn't seem to be that affected even though she

"All right." As soon as he said those words, Matthew tossed the book aside and took her into his arms. Seemingly a bit surprised,
she asked, "What are you doing?"
As he looked deep into her eyes, he flatly replied, "Didn't you say that we still have so far to go, so we should find a way to keep
ourselves entertained? Well, I actually feel the same way, so I want to do something with you. We still haven't tried all the
positions in the pictures last time. Why don't we give it a try today?"
"I...I... When I said 'find something to do', I meant I wanted to play Go game with you! You're misunderstanding things,"
explained Harper, trying to clear things up right away. Of course, that wasn't what she was implying. All she wanted was to play

intimacy," Matthew insisted with a straight face. "No, it's still daytime!" "Have you already forgotten? We used to do it during the daytime." In one swift motion, Matthew pried away Harper's waistband using his fingers. However, Harper managed to
