Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 694

Cynthia was retained in the Sleek Palace. Since Harper stayed in the side hall, there was just the main hall that remained
vacant. Looking at the luxurious and spacious main hall, Cynthia frowned tightly and asked the young maid who had guided her
there, "Excuse me, but why do I stay in the main hall for the night?"
"Lady Cynthia, since Her Highness is staying in the side hall, only the main hall is available now. So, Her Highness herself
ordered me to arrange your stay in the main hall," the young maid answered respectfully.
"I'm just a civilian girl. It's not appropriate for me to stay in the main hall of the Sleek Palace. Can you pass a message to Her
Highness for me asking her if she will stay in the main hall and let me stay in the side hall?" Cynthia was somewhat annoyed.
She was merely a guest visiting Matthew's mansion. If she stayed in the main hall of the Sleek Palace, obviously she would
become the topic of gossip. She could imagine what others would think of her. Moreover, with a position higher than hers, Harper
was staying in the side hall. In that situation, if Cynthia were to stay in the main hall, it would be an act of adding fuel to the fire,
making it easy for others to attack her verbally.
"Lady Cynthia, please try to understand. Her Highness has already gone to bed. Besides, the moment she stepped into the
Sleek Palace, she had clarified that she wouldn't be staying in the main hall. So please stay in the main hall for the time being
despite your unwillingness," the young maid said helplessly. She thought it was a great honor to stay in the main hall of the Sleek
Palace for a night. She couldn't understand why both Harper and Cynthia were refusing such an honor. She wondered, 'Do they
look down upon the main hall of the Sleek Palace?'

Looking at the receding back of the young maid, Cynthia frowned tightly. Her maid, Amy, also looked quite uneasy. "My Lady,
what do you think about Lady Harper's intention? She stays in the Sleek Palace, but she lives the side hall instead of the main
hall, and lets you stay the main hall..."

another place to stay for the night. "I remember there is a soft bed in the drawing room. The weather isn't cold now. Bring a quilt and follow me. I will sleep on the soft bed in the drawing room." "Yes, My Lady." When Rufus sneaked into the Imperial Palace, he found that the palace was heavily

their tracks. The Sleek Palace was not just protected by ordinary guards, but there were also additional secret guards outside the palace. They perceived no less than ten secret guards

"Are you sure about getting in? The palace is so heavily protected," Rufus asked with suspicion.
"No, I can't!" Howard answered, gritting his teeth in frustration. He perceived that Francis might have regarded Harper as his
most valuable asset and would have been extremely worried about her. That could be the reason why he provided such a heavy
guard to the Sleek Palace. It was almost impossible for the two of them to enter the palace under such heavy defenses.
"Then what should we do?" Rufus asked helplessly.
"Try to see if you can sneak in. If you are successful, go to locate your younger sister first. Inform me when you find out Harper's
location in the Sleek Palace. I will somehow find a way to get in," Howard whispered to Rufus after thinking for a while.

up." "Don't worry. I'll be there to support you. Go ahead," Howard said and reassured Rufus. Thinking he would have a fight at the worst, Rufus flipped over the wall and entered the Sleek Palace. To his surprise, he wasn't stopped by anyone. None of the secret guards moved, while the ordinary guards could not find out about his existence.
