Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 655

Harper's eyebrows knitted. She tapped on the table as usual and Zack said nothing. He suspected that regular ways of
communication might expose the news. Whenever some important news came up, they always chose this way of
communication, because no one could decrypt their behaviors.
Zack translated Harper's message and memorized it. The army in the north domain was the most important part of their plan. If
the army in the north domain was in trouble, the Black Flag Army would have a hard time dealing with it on its own. Now the
forces in the court, under the leadership of Jason and Francis, were divided into two factions. The force that used to support the
deposed Felix had shrunk and soon, the hidden force of the court would be in the light.
"Your Highness, Lord Zack, we arrived at Prince Francis' mansion." Andy's voice came from outside the carriage. Harper and
Zack shared a look at each other. The latter then jumped down from the carriage and helped Harper get off.
"Let's check on Francis. He's always ill. It's rather worrying."
Harper thought Francis might have been poisoned again. He had been in and out of the palace, and it wasn't difficult for the
emperor to poison him there. Harper checked his pulse, but his condition was much worse than expected.
"Harper, how is His Highness?" Zack asked at once upon seeing her frown.
Harper shook her head and asked, "Where is Owen?"
"Your Highness, I'm here," Owen answered quickly.
"Tell me. What did he eat and what did he do recently?" Harper felt the situation rather tricky, and reproached Francis wildly in
mind. 'You bastard! It is difficult for me to detoxify you. It is also extremely hard to treat you and bring you back to normal. You
acted so carelessly, ruined all my efforts and almost got yourself killed.'
"My master didn't eat much and even had no appetite. He just read books, made some sugar figurines, and did nothing else.
Your Highness, please save my master's life," Owen pleaded in an innocent tone.
Harper was stressed. "Run to the palace at once and request His Majesty for the thousand-year-old Ganoderma."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid Ganoderma is too potent for Prince Francis' current condition. He is too weak now. I don't think his
body would endure its strong effect..." one of the imperial physicians said hesitantly

"Fine, then I'll leave him to you. Maybe you can come with a better idea to treat him." Harper moved away and the imperial
physician stepped back immediately. Without uttering another word, he sent someone to the Imperial Palace to get the
Ganoderma.
"Why do you all gather here? Do you have nothing else to do?" Harper asked in a soft voice, looking at the group of imperial
physicians standing behind her. "Go back to your respective homes if you have nothing else to do or say. Don't crowd here."

"Your Highness, we are here to help cure Prince Francis," said another imperial physician.
"Well, since you are all here to cure Francis, I believe he doesn't need my help anymore. I'll go back home then." Harper was
about to leave, but no one dared to let her leave. The physicians' survival depended on Francis' recovery. If anything happened
to Francis, then they too wouldn't survive.
"Your Highness, we will leave right now!" The imperial physician scurried out, afraid that it would be too late. They would be in
trouble if Francis was not treated properly.

the blame on you. But, if you cure him, they can take advantage of it." "Am I really that easy to be bullied?" As she spoke, Harper sat down on the bedside, took out a silver needle, and skillfully took off Francis' clothes. Zack coughed as a reminder to Harper, but soon he realized that Francis was only

troublesome patient in her entire career as a physician. "Is he alright?" Zack asked worriedly. "He was too weak and stressed recently. Thus, he got seriously ill." Seeing that Owen had brought the wine,

Harper wrote the prescription and sent someone to collect the herbs and prepare it. In the meantime, Ganoderma was brought
from the Imperial Palace, but Harper didn't have time to deal with it.
The decoction was finally done. Harper was so tired with her efforts that she asked Owen to feed the decoction to Francis. But
Francis' teeth were tightly clenched and despite Owen's efforts, Francis didn't open his mouth to drink the decoction. With no
way out, Owen turned to Harper for help.
Harper glanced at Francis and took the bowl from Owen's hand. She had a sip to check the temperature. When she was sure
that it wouldn't burn Francis' throat, she pinched his nose and poured it down to his throat without hesitation. Francis coughed,
which made Owen's heart ache.
Zack touched his nose and realized how gentle Harper was to him. Though earlier he was once forced to take the medicine, she
was not as rude as she was just now!
"Is that all?" Zack asked.
"Just turning the fever down!" Holding the Ganoderma, Harper said viciously, "When he wakes up, tell him that he owes me a lot.
It's with a lot of effort that I got the precious saussurea involucrata, and now I will force it down his throat!"
Owen stepped back and hid behind a pillar. He seemed to be timid and didn't dare to offend Harper. Harper ignored him. She

then fed one to Francis. "You owe me a lot now. I won't hesitate to sell you for money if you don't wake up

gave up and looked at Zack. "Zack, you can go back now. His condition is unpredictable. I have to stay here and monitor his condition. Matthew will come to pick me up later." Zack maintained his silence. When he came to Francis' mansion with Harper, he made a promise to Matthew that he would send her back safe and sound. He said, "I'll wait for you. I promised His Highness that I'll send you back safely."
