Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 731

That day, batches of medicinal herbs arrived at the yard where Harper lived. The soldiers guarding the general's mansion were
quite taken aback because even though they were in the Birch Pass, the medicinal herbs were very rare for them to see. In
addition, the sultry weather in the south domain all year round caused the air to be filled with miasmas. As a result, numerous
people died on a daily basis. So when they caught sight of a large number of medicinal herbs being sent to the general's
mansion, they were overjoyed at the prospect of that. However, as the true soldiers they were, they didn't show their happiness
on the outside. For them, it was possible that Harper knew they were running short of herbs. If that were the case, she was
indeed a very caring woman.
However, after a long period of waiting, they didn't get the order from their general to ask them to fetch the medicinal herbs from
Harper. The fragrance of the herbs would occasionally spread from Harper's quarters, bringing them both peace and comfort.
"Why is there always smell of herbs coming from the inside?" The guards gathering outside Harper's yard began to discuss with
each other.
"Maybe she's making some medicine." One guard made a wild guess.
"Have you ever smelled medicine this good before? You must be kidding. From what I can smell, she's cooking something
delicious," another guard responded while sniffing the air around him.
"The only thing you can think about is food. That's exactly the reason you're assuming that it's food."
"Excuse me, food isn't my only expertise. I know a great deal about fighting as well!"
Meanwhile, Luther was on his way back after assembling the team to escort the envoy. When he reached the entrance to
Matthew's yard, he noticed that it was surrounded by several guards. With a frown on his face, he asked, "What exactly is going
on here?"
The guards, who were still indulged in a heated debate, instantly stopped throwing words at each other. Composing themselves,

they greeted, "General!"
"What are you doing here?" Luther asked again.
"Our curiosity brought us here. The lovely fragrance emitting from Prince Matthew's yard has been in the air for hours now. We
are wondering whether this scent is because of some medicine or perhaps some delicious food," one of the guards replied right

standing here while trying to guess the source of a fragrant smell doesn't fall under your duties. It doesn't matter where the smell is coming from because it has nothing to do with you guys. All right, everyone? Go back to your positions." "Yes, General." In fact, Luther knew that a lot of the medicinal herbs were sent to his mansion from the Treasure Pavilion. He was well aware of what kind of herbs that place would provide. He even knew their cunning tricks. Yet, Harper was a woman with incredible medical skills, so it would not have been easy to deceive her. Luther concluded that this time, the deceptive Treasure Pavilion would suffer a great loss because of Harper. "General, His Highness wants to see you," Jack said while he invited Luther inside with a smile on his face. As a matter of fact, he didn't have to follow Matthew

Matthew said while his eyes were still glued to the report.
"Yes, Your Highness. I've already selected five hundred skilled fighters from the barracks. They will escort you and Her Highness
on your way to the South Kingdom," Luther responded.
"That's very kind of you." Matthew expressed his gratitude. He didn't refuse his offer. After all, five hundred soldiers would
certainly be helpful. He knew that it would be hard for them to reach the South Kingdom without being spotted. And he didn't
intend to do so either. There was no need for them to keep a low profile. He figured that some people might have already known
that he and Harper were at the Birch Pass.
"Your Highness, you are welcome. This is what I need to do," Luther responded.
"Where are you from?" Matthew asked in a casual tone.
