Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 722

Looking at how annoyed Harper was, Matthew felt helpless and said, "I just don't want to risk your safety."
"Do you really think there's a safe place anywhere in the world right now? If you go to the South Kingdom alone and leave me in
the imperial capital by myself, do you think Francis wouldn't do anything to hurt me? I'm afraid that he will sneak back to the
imperial capital and seek revenge on me as soon as you leave. It doesn't even have to be him. He could still have acquaintances
here and could just ask them to do his dirty work for him. Or, don't you believe in your capabilities to protect me if I go with you?"
Harper reasoned with him.
It was the first time for Matthew to see Harper being so eloquent. He didn't know how to rebut her arguments because she did
have a point. The safest way was to keep Harper by his side so that he could look after her by himself. After all, it was the only
way for him to feel assured of her safety. There was nobody else that he could ask to protect Harper while he was away.
"Your Highnesses, His Majesty is here," Noah reported while he came into the room. When he noticed the awkward atmosphere,
Noah was confused so he asked, "Shall I invite His Majesty here?"
Lucas was feeling aggrieved as an emperor. He thought that he must be the first emperor in history to have been denied access
to a mansion. But he was already used to being embarrassed. So he immediately climbed over the wall to enter Matthew's
mansion. Noah just turned a blind eye to such behavior, because Matthew only said that Lucas was not allowed to enter his
mansion through the gate. Technically, he didn't prohibit Lucas from entering his mansion by climbing over the wall.

"Uncle Matthew, Aunt Harper," Lucas greeted the couple while he popped his head into the room with a flattering smile on his
face. Upon entering the room, he straight on stated, "The general guarding the south domain sent me an emergency report.
According to his accounts, something unusual happened in the border of the South Kingdom."

asked when a name suddenly came to her mind. "Is it Luther Lu? He was the man that your father sent to take over the army in the south domain after Harrison was dismissed from his position." Meanwhile, Matthew remembered Luther just then. The man was a former member of the military's strategic plan department. He had kept a low profile and hadn't had much contact with the courtiers. When the late emperor promoted him, everyone else had been very surprised to hear the news. That was because Luther had been too inconspicuous. But if anyone were to carefully look into him, they would find out that his rank did not increase because of

but to climb over the wall just to enter your mansion." Lucas threw himself into a chair as if he didn't have a single bone in his body. Then, he picked up a cup and took a big sip of the tea. "There are a lot of poisonous miasmas and insects in the South Kingdom. Besides, the people in there are very skilled at using poison. In case we have to

"But that is not what you should be worrying about. First of all, you have to figure out how many spies are there in the south
domain's army," Matthew said. After carefully looking through Luther's personal records, he handed them to Harper. He couldn't
find anything wrong with the man. "I didn't expect that he has obtained a lot of achievements in the military."
"The reason that Father promoted him was precisely because of his capabilities. And at that time, Father was hoping that he
could find a military general who would be comparable to you..." Lucas stated, his voice dropping while he continued to speak.
After all, the late emperor had been hostile to Matthew because he had always been threatened by him. Because of this, the late
emperor had done a lot of things which would have been enough for Matthew to kill him a dozen times.

to that and sipped his tea instead. At that moment, Harper was skimming over Luther's personal records. All of a sudden, she asked, "How is Carlson in the north domain?" "That guy had a rather great experience in his time at the Northern Expeditionary Army. He is now a sub-third rank general. Previously, every time Uncle Allen heard what Carlson did, he would shake his head and helplessly sigh. However, things are different now. Whenever he hears that Carlson had earned excellent military
