Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 678

The procession for the political marriage alliance was to set off very early the next morning. The decision to leave was made in
such a hurry that Matthew and Lucas did not even have enough time to prepare. The old emperor had just been buried, so
bystanders were quite suspicious why it seemed like the bridal procession couldn't wait to set off for its destination.
The night before, someone came to Lucas' mansion. He was in the middle of packing his belongings when he heard a noise
from the window. Someone had broken in. As soon as he touched the sword on his waist, he saw Matthew and Harper.
Surprised, he looked out of the window to check whether there were other people but he immediately closed it again.
"Uncle Matthew, it's the middle of the night. What are you doing here?" Lucas was startled, to say the least. He just visited
Matthew's mansion earlier that day, so he did not understand why they came to his mansion at midnight.
Matthew sat down, arm in arm with Harper. "Do you really believe that we're going to the Great Jade Kingdom just for the
marriage alliance?"
"Am I wrong to think that?" Lucas was a little confused. He thought, 'Earlier in the day, your wife asked me to do my best in
escorting Lilian. But now, you came to me at night and told me not to take it for what it is. If we're not going for the marriage

Matthew sneered before he responded. "Don't be so naive. Do you really believe that Francis has no other purpose for making
us escort Lilian for the marriage alliance? I think you might have been in the romantic place for too long. Being in the company of

women might have confused your mind."
"Uncle Matthew, are you saying that Francis wants to use this chance to kill me?" Although Lucas knew Francis wouldn't let him

kill me as well." When he heard that, Lucas calmed down. He was

sure about it. Now that he came to him, he must have already had a plan. Francis wanted to kill Matthew, but it would never be that easy. Matthew nodded his head and replied, "Yes, and I need your cooperation." "Whatever you want me to do, I'll certainly do it." Lucas was extremely obedient. Now that he had become Francis' target, it would be hard to survive. But if he cooperated with Matthew, he might have a

himself and his subordinates, he would probably not be a match for Francis.
"Tomorrow, you and I will still escort Lilian to the foreign country as planned. But before we leave, I must ensure Harp's safety in
the imperial capital. She can't go with us." Matthew looked at Harper tenderly while she just shrugged in surrender. She had told
Matthew that she was capable enough to protect herself. But no matter what she said, Matthew was not convinced. She then let
him do anything he wanted to do.
"I'm going to ask my men left in the imperial capital to protect Aunt Harper." Lucas immediately thought that he understood what

people to injure Francis? But Francis was skilled in martial arts so his men might not be able to hurt him. With honesty, he stated, "Our men may not be capable enough to
