"This man seems to be adept at concealing his identity." Thinking of this, Felton started feeling a little uneasy. "You... I think it
would be best for you to leave the imperial capital."
"It won't be that easy for me to leave," Harper sighed. "Maybe you should change your medicine."
"I take medicine like this every day. It never works. You don't need to worry about me."
"Felton, if you stop using your spiritual power, you won't have to suffer the relapse of your disease again and again. I don't think
it's good for your health. From now on, you will not be allowed to use it unless it is a last resort!" Harper stressed at once. "Did
you hear me?"
"Okay, I'll bear that in mind." Felton chuckled. "It's getting late. You should leave right away. Matthew may get suspicious if he
comes back and finds that you're not in the mansion."
"All right. Take good care of yourself, Felton."
With that, Harper put on her cloak to hide her identity. And as soon as she went out, a figure tailed her silently.
"Sister, where have you been?" Someone stopped Harper in her tracks before she reached Matthew's mansion. It was Howard.
Crossing his arms against his chest, he fixed his attention on Harper who had a black cloak on. "I had no idea you have such a
powerful master close by."
"Howard, have you grown tired of living?" Harper asked in a cold tone, but her voice was as clear and charming as usual. Even

though she wasn't showing any signs of it, Howard could sense the strong killing intent coming from her.
Howard immediately jumped off the tree and stood beside her. "Tell your secret protector to hide himself well. Matthew is back."
Harper then turned to have eye contact with the man next to her, who then instantly disappeared into the darkness. In no time,

Glancing at Howard, Harper simply went ahead and entered Matthew's mansion through the back door. But when she came in, she was surprised to see that Matthew was already there waiting for her. Taking off her cloak, she casually said, "You're back." "I'm the one who's supposed to say that to you. You're back!" Then, Matthew walked toward her and held her hand. "Why

starting to get warm. I thought it wasn't cold outside, so I didn't wear too much." The smile on Harper's face didn't change. Then, the two of them walked toward the Phoenix House hand in hand. Since Matthew didn't ask why she went out or where she went, Harper opted not to talk about it. "The empress committed suicide after receiving the imperial edict." Matthew informed Harper about what had happened in the palace. The empress's deadly fate had been decided, but he never expected it to happen so soon. Harper

"Matthew, you've been dealing with His Majesty for many years. What kind of person do you think he is?" Harper asked under
her breath as she tightened his grip on her husband's hand.
"A wicked person!"
"Haha." Hearing this, Harper couldn't hold back her laughter. "I guess that suits him. But I want to ask you, will he kill all his
children for the sake of his obsession with power and the throne?"
"No, I don't think so. As far as I know, he definitely prepared a backup plan. Even in the recent years, he has been very wary of

to get rid of me. It must be because he didn't want the heir to his throne to be threatened by my existence." Matthew didn't bother mincing his words. "So, who do you think is going to be the emperor's first choice as his inheritor among all the princes?" Before she could even reply, Matthew continued, "Felix has been dethroned; Walden has been exiled;
