Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 656

After looking after Francis for an entire day, Harper started feeling a bit sleepy. She ended up falling asleep by the bed. A few
minutes after Harper dozed off, Francis woke up and opened his eyes. It seemed that he knew Harper by his side all the time,
but he gently turned to her and watched her sleeping. All of a sudden, he hit her sleeping acupoint.
"Only when you're asleep, will you let your guard down," he whispered under his breath. He then sat up and looked at Harper's
sleeping face. Even he himself had no idea why he would do something like this.
A gentle smile crept onto Francis' pale face as he stared at Harper's pretty face. Unable to resist the urge, he gently caressed
her face, then moved her into the bed. As he held her in his arms, he felt a sense of contentment and fell asleep again.
Fred had been waiting outside the whole time. Now that it was already getting late, he thought that it was about time for him to
escort Harper back to Prince Matthew's mansion. After all, she could just come to visit Francis again tomorrow. However, he
never would have expected that he would be attacked in Prince Francis' mansion. Someone released a poisonous gas. It was so
sudden that he didn't even have much time to react. At that moment, he wanted to set off a flare to send out a message asking
for help, but someone seemed to have guessed what he was planning to do and managed to quickly stop him. In the end, Fred
lost consciousness and fell to the ground without being able to do anything.
Checking on Fred who had lost consciousness, Owen wiped off the beads of cold sweat on his forehead. If Fred had managed to
set off the flare successfully, Francis would definitely punish him for screwing up his plan. With that, he immediately ordered
someone to carry Fred away. He sighed, "I can't allow you to ruin my master's plan."

Matthew was currently in the army, busy dealing with the military affairs. There were fierce fights taking place in the Great Jade
Kingdom. In order to prevent another country from swooping in while they were fighting, the Great Jade Kingdom had deployed
troops to the border in case of an external enemy invasion. But as far as Matthew was concerned, Rolando should have already

"Your Highness, it's about one fifteen. It's already late. Lady Harper must have gone to bed by now." Taking a look at the processed military file, Barry thought that Matthew still had a lot of work to do. Some of them probably had something to do with the Great

by 'should have'?" "We can't really say for sure because no one sent any messages from the mansion today. However, Lord Zack's manservant has sent a message to us during the daytime. It was said that His Majesty summoned him to

messages after that. For that reason, I assumed that Lady Harper might have gone back by herself."
Matthew's guts were telling him that something was quite amiss, so he asked, "You mean, you don't know whether Harper has
made it back or not?"
"I'm afraid, I do not know."
Upon hearing Barry's response, Matthew immediately stood up and walked out of the camp. Seeing this, Barry hurriedly went
after him.
Matthew went straight to the Phoenix House to look for Harper as soon as he got back to the mansion, only to find that she

Harper seemed to be fast asleep, so he didn't want to disturb her, but he had to. Carrying her in his arms, he put her down by the bed, trying to make it look like she just fell asleep. After that, he
