Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 626

Without wasting another breath, Harper took the Heavenly Book from Matthew and opened it. To anyone else, the messy
writings on the book looked like ghost paintings. But to Harper, they looked lovely as if the words were welcoming her, which was
fitting because she could actually read them. She was a member of the Qin Clan, so it was like second nature to her.
"When I was in the Phoenix House, I was very careful about the food that I eat. Except for the designated few people, no one
was allowed to enter the kitchen. Unauthorized people weren't able to touch my food because they didn't have a chance to enter
the kitchen in the first place. No one had the opportunity to poison me at all." Harper's words sounded so sweet like flowers
falling from their trees. But then, it started to have a different tone. "When I was in the Phoenix House, I knew that I wasn't
pregnant. So how could I have been expecting after staying in the Pine House for a few days?"
Matthew immediately turned to look at Harper with wide eyes and a slightly opened mouth. To say that he was shocked was an
understatement. He heard her words very clearly. But he didn't seem to understand what she meant. "Harp, what do you mean
by that?"
Harper, on the other hand, ignored his question and didn't respond to him. Instead, she continued to speak while looking at Jack.
"On the night of the emperor's birthday, you realized that it was a rare opportunity as soon as you found out that Matthew took
me back. So you decided there and then to take advantage when the food was served to him. You know well enough that I have
excellent medical skills. So if you were to poison me, I would discover it at once. So you chose the Terminalia Chebula because
not only is it colorless, it's also odorless."
The admiration in Jack's eyes grew stronger and stronger while he listened to her assertions. "My master had been saying that

we shouldn't underestimate you. I realize now that he's right.
Lady Harper, it's not easy to get ahold of the Terminalia Chebula because it's not an ordinary poison. If it is permitted to stay in
your body for half a year, there's a high possibility that it will kill you. But if you choose to detoxify yourself and use every means

way to fully recover. If you try to cure yourself by chance, I'm afraid that it will be hard for you to get pregnant in the future." The smile on Jack's face was full of vicious intent and it could almost be mistaken for a smirk. While Matthew

at her while wearing a wide smile on his face. With so much amusement, he said, "What a clever lady

danger that was contained within.
"Well, you're right. So let me ask you. Do you want the Heavenly Book or the antidote?" Jack asked. His voice was kind, but it
was full of evil intentions. "Lady Harper, you have very proficient medical skills. You should know how powerful the Terminalia
Chebula is. As a woman, especially a prince's wife, you won't keep your position for long if you don't produce an heir. Not only
that, you'll also lose the prince's love."
Harper held the Heavenly Book tightly. While walking towards Jack with confident steps, she said, "Oh? Is that so? Thank you for
that very educational speech. Do you really want the Heavenly Book?"
"Of course. The only thing I want is the Heavenly Book. I only did everything that I have done because of it. I can assure you that

book is in my hands," Jack replied while looking at Harper with the same smile that he had earlier. "Okay, why not?" Harper casually said. With those few words, there was a subtle twinkle in Jack's eyes. He was a bit surprised to hear that Harper
