Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 696

After driving Rufus away, Harper went to bed straight away. The entire Sleek Palace was extremely peaceful, but Rufus got into
big trouble once he got out.
As soon as he stepped foot outside the Sleek Palace, the secret guards hiding in the dark took action to capture him. Using his
agile flying skills, he tried to fend them all off. After fighting for a long time, he was a bit overwhelmed and felt so exhausted. After
all, he was fighting against four secret guards all by himself. In the end, the guards managed to suppress him.
"Why don't you lend me a hand now?" Rufus screamed out into the air, obviously fuming with intense rage.
Thrown off by his words, the secret guards were taken by surprise and thought that Rufus still had an accomplice behind them.
They all turned their heads to check, only to find that no one was there. Realizing that they had been fooled, the four guards
turned back right away. Unfortunately for them, Rufus had already gone far away. Even so, the secret guards couldn't just let him
go, and they decided to run after him again, even alarming the guards of the imperial capital. Ken happened to be on duty that
night. When he heard that there was an assassin, he saw Rufus being chased in all directions by the secret guards.
"Rufus, surrender to us now! Otherwise, I'll be forced to order my men to shoot," Ken demanded in a stern voice. As he spoke,
Rufus had already been completely surrounded by the archers.

shrugged his shoulders and said, "I tried to surrender, but they wouldn't allow me to do so. There's nothing I can do."
"Seize him!" Ken said in an indifferent tone.
Rufus didn't try to resist. Needless to say, he was able to go in the Sleek Palace easily, mostly because Francis didn't stop him

wouldn't be that easy. No wonder Howard didn't follow him when he saw him easily breaking into the Sleek Palace. That man was as insidious as Harper. He said he would save him, but as it turned out, he merely watched as he got caught. In Rufus' mind, Howard turned out to be a despicable and shameless man! Ken brought the trespasser directly to Francis. The latter was still browsing through the reports which had been delivered by the officials. Recently, many officials had been sending reports to him, asking him to take the throne as soon as possible. The embroidery workshop actually began making imperial

A smile crept onto Francis' face and he asked, "So, were you able to see her?"
"Didn't you see it yourself? Before I could see her, I was hit in the head!" Rufus answered, pointing at the bandage on his head.
"If you didn't take my sister into the palace, I would not have bothered sneaking into the palace in the middle of the night. I
sneaked into the wrong room and got hit by that woman. Can't you see that my head is still bleeding?"
Hearing this, Francis shifted his gaze toward Rufus. There was some blood on the bandage wrapped around his head, which
only proved that the attacker didn't show any mercy. "Did Harper do it?"

injured." Francis was in no hurry, so he simply looked at Rufus coldly. Everyone knew that Rufus was a good friend of Matthew, but it was said that he and Harper didn't get along very well. In fact, it was so bad that during their first meeting, Harper
