Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 723

Harper was puzzled for a moment seeing Becky Liu, the chief guard of the Secret Pavilion on the mission. 'Why would the
woman guarding the Secret Pavilion come with us?' she wondered.
She gave a glance at Matthew that seemed to ask why Becky Liu would come with them to the South Kingdom.
Matthew glanced at Becky Liu for a second, and then said in a low voice, "She was afraid that something might be wrong with
the thing you took away. So, in order to monitor you, she will follow you wherever you go."
"Did Lucas agree to this?" What an excuse! Even if Becky Liu were to follow her everywhere, Harper was confident that she
wouldn't be able to take the tripod back.
"He was too tired of her badgering that he agreed." Matthew put down the curtain of the carriage and held Harper in his arms.
"It's a long way to the South Kingdom. You'd better get some rest at the beginning of our trip when the road is smooth. The road
will be bumpy later on. It would be difficult for you to sleep then, even if you want to."
Resting her head on Matthew's lap, Harper gazed at his face. He was reading a book on strategy. She felt he looked even more

bit, and it wasn't a big deal for her.
With a slight smile on his face, he responded, "I haven't decided what to do. It will take us about twenty days to reach the South
Kingdom. Well, should I do you a favor so that you can have a good rest, and wouldn't even need to show up in front of other

"I will punish you," he said and continued to unknot his waistband. "Stop!" Matthew's action scared her a bit. She knew what he meant and what he intended to do.
