Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Harper looked down and noticed that Jason had been lying motionless on the ground for a long time. So, she asked Barry and
Fred, "Is he dead?"
"Your Highness, he is still alive. He would probably just get severely injured at most," Fred quickly replied. In truth, his conclusion
was decisive yet cold, and no one could tell whether he was joking or not. When Barry heard his response, the corners of his
mouth twitched a bit. Maybe other people would have no idea, but he was well aware that Matthew didn't really hurt Jason that
severely. Jason might get hurt badly, but he was not an incapable man. There was no way he would get killed so easily like this.
"Okay. That's fine, as long as he doesn't die," Harper blurted out.
"It seems that he is not badly hurt after all," Barry added. Jason had already sat up and was getting ready to lend Francis a hand.
Seeing this, Harper ordered in a decisive tone at once, "Fred, go and stop him! Beat and cripple him if you must."
When he heard Harper's words, Jason staggered and fell back to the ground. Then, he shot her an intense glare and yelled out,
"Hey! We have the same master and you are my junior! How could you be so cruel?"
"Whatever you say isn't going to change my mind," Harper flatly said, casting Jason a cold glance. Then, she said to Fred, "Fred,

your heart's content."

Jason found the whole situation awkward now. Meanwhile, Francis and Matthew were still fighting fiercely with each other, but Francis was being at a disadvantage now. As the match progressed, he proved to be no match for Matthew. Matthew, on the other hand, took advantage of this and launched more furious strikes. What was more, he grabbed the opportunity and slapped Francis in the face real hard twice. It was so hard that Francis' tied-up hair even loosened. He was such a mess right now. With that, Matthew finally stopped and flew back to Harper's side after he had won. As soon as he stepped on the gate tower, he put his arm around Harper's waist and said, "I've slapped him twice for you. Are you satisfied now?" "Yes, yes, I'm very satisfied," Harper replied, looking quite pleased as she smiled. "Now that you have already taught him a lesson, why don't you let Lucas take care of everything else? Let's go home, shall

just about to leave. "No, no, no! Uncle Matthew, Aunt Harper, you can't just leave like this!" Lucas yelled out. There was no way he would agree to that. "If you leave right

had all been fooled by you! We scolded you at that time because we were disappointed at you for not making any contribution to this country. That was why we had to impeach you for the sake of the Bright Dynasty. I know that you are a broad-minded man. Please forgive us," one of the ministers cried out. Lucas, however, wouldn't let those officials go that easily. "Aunt Harper, please stay and help me,"
