Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 695

Seeing his wound, Harper touched her nose, feeling guilty for what she had done. She ordered, "Forsythia, bring me my
medicine kit."
"Yes, Your Highness." Rufus was a frequent visitor to Matthew's mansion, and Forsythia also knew him well. Ever since Harper
had been staying in the Sleek Palace, they had always been on alert. When Rufus tried to break in secretly at midnight, they
thought it was some random rounder outside, and that was the reason why they had waited behind the door to strike him down.
They didn't expect it would be Rufus.
Harper quickly applied some medicine to Rufus' head to stop his bleeding and then bandaged the wound on his head. She said
apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect you here. I thought it was some rounder trying to pick up loose women, so I tried to..."
Rufus rubbed his head angrily. It was an unforeseen disaster for him. Even though he understood Harper's situation, he couldn't
help but snort at her. "But you should have asked who I am before you struck," he said.
"If it was an enemy outside and if I were to ask, then I would end up exposing myself to danger, right?" Harper said, pouring a
cup of tea and handing it to Rufus. "Here, have a cup of tea and it will calm you down. Don't worry, your wound isn't serious, and
it will recover soon."
Rufus drank up the tea in one gulp. He shouldn't have explored the Sleep Palace this way. He realized that Howard must have
guessed about this hidden threat as well as the possibility that Harper would be on high alert. That would be the reason he dared
not come first, but encouraged him to do that. Rufus wondered if Matthew's head had ever been smashed when he courted

Harper and broke into her room at night in the first place.
"Have you broken Prince Matthew's head previously while he was trying to enter the Chu Clan mansion at night?" Rufus asked
as he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Rufus' face darkened when he heard her. Did she mean that he got struck only because he was weak in martial arts and was slow to react? "Now that you made

bully your younger sister? She's not just your sister, but Matthew's cousin as well. She has always been a part of my family. I will treat her well for your sake, even if not for Matthew's sake." "Come on! I know you're dark-minded!" Rufus didn't believe Harper's words at all. He knew her too well. If any woman were to cast her greedy eyes on Matthew,

the night. I have really treated her very well!"
Rufus' face twisted in shock. "Does my younger sister stay in the main hall of the Sleek Palace?"
"Yes. The Sleek Palace has only one main hall and one side hall. If I stay in the main hall, she will have to stay in the side hall
which would have been unkind from my side. So I let her stay in the main hall. Haven't you seen her in the main hall?" Harper
asked in surprise.
"No, there isn't anyone in the main hall."
Harper pondered carefully for a while and then said, "Now that there is no one in the main hall, I think she must be sleeping in

and narrow soft bed in the drawing room." Rufus thought to himself, 'How shameless you are! You yourself don't dare to sleep in the main hall, but you incited my sister to do that. If my sister were to sleep in the main hall, while you were actually sleeping in the side hall, what all consequences would she be
