Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 691

Cynthia Xiao couldn't help but frown upon hearing his words. First of all, it was kind of weird for Francis to find out about the
situation in Matthew's mansion so soon. Was he actually having his men spy on Matthew's mansion? Besides, if it were true that
he was worried that no one would entertain her in Matthew's mansion, he should have just let Harper leave the Imperial Palace
and come back. But now, this man was inviting her into the Imperial Palace instead. Was this an order from Harper or from
Francis?
"Who is the one inviting into the Imperial Palace? Lady Harper or Prince Francis?" she asked.
"It doesn't matter anyway," Ken flatly replied, his voice calm and sensible. "Lady Cynthia, this way please."
"Lady Cynthia..." Amy was about to rejected Ken.
"Amy, don't be rude," Cynthia Xiao stopped Amy from saying anything else. Then, she turned to Ken and said, "Very well. Please
lead the way."
"Yes. Forgive me, Lady Cynthia. I'm only following orders," Ken apologized. With that, he asked the guards to surround the
carriage from the front to the back. It might appear that he was protecting the carriage, but he was actually just escorting them
into the Imperial Palace.
Standing by the window and looking at the person being taken away, Rufus squinted his eyes. "Mister Rufus, Lady Cynthia is
being taken into the Imperial Palace. Is she going to be all right?" asked Rufus' manservant.
"What could possibly happen to her?" Rufus answered in a rather indifferent tone. "What? Do you think Francis would be so
lecherous that he'd actually do something to her? I'm afraid the people in the Swan Castle only wish that Francis would actually
make a move on her."
Hearing his response, the attendant smiled awkwardly. He had been noticing that his young master was becoming more and

more displeased with the people in the Swan Castle. Rufus had only been back to the imperial capital for a few days, and now
Cynthia had arrived afterwards. Now, she even went directly to Matthew's mansion to pay a visit, only to be turned down and
even forcibly escorted into the Imperial Palace. These developments were very strange. However, it seemed that Rufus was not
worried at all.
"So we're just going to leave Lady Cynthia like this?" asked the attendant.

in his hand, he would naturally find a way to give it to Harper. Cynthia Xiao being brought into the Imperial Palace had

to visit the Imperial Palace at night. "You're going to the Imperial Palace? Then, I will accompany you," Howard suddenly chimed in. At that time, he was sitting nearby, carefully wiping his sword with a handkerchief. "I will be visiting the Imperial Palace at night!" Rufus stressed out. "Whatever. I'll be coming with you," Howard flatly replied. Howard took Felix away, but Felix managed to escape. Then, Felix chased after Francis and eventually got himself killed in the process. This left Harper very displeased with Howard, so Howard was determined to make amends for it. "My sister has been taken into the Imperial Palace. So, I, at least, have an excuse to go there. But what about you? Do

Howard's sword was now glistening with cold light. As he waved his sword, he pointed it straight toward Rufus. And then, his
sword stopped in front of Rufus' face. "Of course, I do."
"Are there really such brother and sister in the world who would scheme and hurt each other?" Rufus argued, and his stomach
even ached because of anger. 'What? Is he trying to threaten me with that damned sword?' he cursed deep inside.
Howard sneered, "Isn't that what your clan is like? Your family is no different from mine when it comes to this respect."
This rendered Rufus completely speechless. After giving it much thought, he realized that Howard was merely telling the truth. If
brothers and sisters were not from the same mother, the fights among them would probably be even fiercer. Although he rarely
came back to the Swan Castle, he knew that the overt and covert struggles were constantly happening one after another. At the
thought of that, he was afraid that the fights in his family were even worse than those in the Chu Clan.
