Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Matthew was not satisfied with Harper's answer. So he exerted a little bit more strength in pinching her to make it a little painful.
In return, she frowned at him. Instantly, the red snake bent its body to attack him, but Harper stretched out her hand to grab its
tail. She then threw it far away from them.
Matthew loosened his hold on Harper. He then noticed that her hand had turned red because of his grip. Gently, he took hold of
her hand with both of his and rubbed it with his utmost carefulness. "That little thing has very fast instincts to protect its master!
You have spent so much time raising it and as it turns out, it's worthwhile. Only, it's so blind that it even wanted to bite me."
With that, they both looked at the red snake which she had thrown earlier. It didn't understand why it got punished after attacking

had started to get in touch with other countries again and even sent people to the South Kingdom. Plus with the records which they had seen in the Secret Pavilion, Matthew couldn't help but think that the Wonder Kingdom must be planning on the other half of the Sacred Seal. "Well, let's see who'll rise to the occasion and win." It was late at night

for the envoys. Who would dare to cause trouble here? Do they want to get killed?' There were so many questions on her mind. "Your Highness, an envoy from the Great Jade Kingdom just arrived. As soon as he did, he broke into our quarters. His Highness went out in an effort to send him away. Now, that envoy..." Forsythia was about to say something, but hesitated. For

which ultimately shocked everyone on the spot. Naturally, it seemed like the envoy was a little surprised. He even forgot to put his crossed fingers back. The rouge on his face was wet, and instantly, it was sliding down his cheeks. His colorful face which had been perfect just a few seconds ago was now too miserable to be seen. The woman's clothes were wet as well. They stuck to his body, revealing his strong chest. If Matthew were being completely honest, he was quite satisfied with
