The two stared at each other. There was just one person in the imperial capital whose arrogance was really unparalleled. That
person was Harper. Due to her outstanding medical skills and her clan's power before her marriage, she had been remarkably
arrogant. Although she seemed gentle and restrained after she got married with Matthew, her nature was unchanged. Even the
emperor couldn't do anything to her!
"In the past, you didn't like Harper and thought no man would marry her because of her temper. But look at her now! She's
married to Prince Matthew, and he's absolutely devoted to her." Monica put her hand on her forehead. She was once hit on the
head by Matthew and it left a pink scar. Now, it seemed that he had gone easy on her back then.
"Alas, we can only envy her excellent good luck."
"Yes, not everyone can be so lucky as her." Monica smiled bitterly.
"Ladies." After a while, Minna trotted in. She threw a glance at Monica, and then turned to Sherry. She wanted to make some
remarks, but she hesitated.
"If you have anything to report, just spit it out. What's holding your tongue?" Sherry prompted her.
Minna gritted her teeth and said, "A maid found a female corpse in the Cold Palace's well. Her body was swollen, and her face
couldn't be recognized. I heard that she was Lady Cheryl, the one who was promoted as the attendant a few days ago."
"Cheryl is dead?" Sherry and Monica looked at each other, taken aback. A few days ago, the empress pretended to be ill in order
to lure the emperor to the Sleek Palace to check on her. Little did she know that the emperor, after visiting her, would have slept

with her maid! Because he developed a lust for that maid, the emperor even didn't attend the imperial court session the next day,
and he brought her away from the empress's palace that day to promote her as to the rank of an attendant. But why was she
found dead today?

the empress. "Cheryl used to belong to the Sleek Palace, and the empress is in charge of all the affairs of the imperial harem. It's none of our business," Sherry whispered. "Minna, don't look into it any further. Just drop it." "My Lady, I didn't mean to. But I heard that Lady Cheryl was drowned, and when her body was pulled

imperial palace. Cheryl had been killed. Why was a voodoo doll found on her? Was anyone using voodoo curse in the palace? "Sherry, I'm afraid it's a big deal. Using voodoo stuff is a serious felony!" Monica's face turned pale. As the emperor's concubines, they didn't dare to get involved in anything related to voodoo. It was like playing with fire. Equally shocked, Sherry asked at once, "Has the thing been reported to His Majesty?" "His

Majesty just ordered her to be buried."
"How about the voodoo doll?"
"Before the eunuch could say anything more, the empress sent him away. The eunuch had no other choice but only to bury Lady
Cheryl together with the voodoo material." Minna looked terrified. "I can't believe Cheryl would be so bold as to use that voodoo
doll in the palace."
"Well, don't talk about it anymore. Since His Majesty doesn't want to have it investigated, just let it go. You can leave now."
Sherry waved her hand to indicate that Minna could leave.
