Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 796

"You are right," Diana said, heaving a deep sigh. She recalled what Harper had said to comfort her earlier. Her words sounded
harsher than that of Howard's. In fact, Harper didn't comfort people. Rather, she used her words for provoking and goading
people into action. And her tactics were effective. Diana remembered how Harper's words had pushed her out of the lull where
she had almost accepted her fate to be killed by her sister. Had it not been for Harper, that day, Diana would have died in the
Labyrinth Swamp rather than being here at the moment.
"After I bring peace back to the South Kingdom, I will follow her," Diana declared in a determined tone. "I have so much to learn
from her. I strongly believe that staying with her is incredibly beneficial for me."
"Only if she is willing to take you with her. It's not so easy to have your way with Harper, you see," Howard reminded her calmly.
Then he teased her, "Judging from your intelligence quotient, I don't think she will be willing to take you with her."
"Howard Chu, what do you mean?" Diana asked, rolling up her sleeves. "Do you want to get into a fight with me?"
Howard raised his eyebrows and turned to go outward, without saying anything to Diana. He was aware that this time was not for
reveling in such useless conversations. After Diana's secret visit to the royal palace to see her father today, Catherine would not
simply sit idle. Even if she had no evidence of Diana's presence in the South Kingdom, she must have sent her people all around
the city by now to find the intruder. Howard was aware that they had to be vigilant.
Diana was initially taken aback and rather angered by Howard's turning his back and walking out. But later on, she realized that
Howard had gone out to look for something in the yard. Howard's intuitiveness, sincerity, and care in dealing with the situation
impressed Diana very much.
Diana followed him to the yard. After a while, Howard nodded his head with satisfaction after he got everything ready. He looked
at Diana and said, "Let's go out of the capital city."
"Out of the capital city? Why?" Diana asked, looking startled by Howard's words. "Why should we go out of the capital at this

time?"
"We can't be so complacent at this stage. Catherine is far more dangerous than you think. She had been hiding her real self for
ten years only to achieve her goal. Then you can imagine how shrewd and scheming a person she can be. It will not take her a
long time to find out that you are still alive and have also returned to the South Kingdom. She will surely rummage the whole
capital to search for you. Since your father refuses to write the royal edict to appoint her as the heir to the throne, she would

"But what did you do?" Diana asked as she wriggled out through the window. "I have just set up some tricks. Come, let's make a move now. We have to go out of the capital as soon as possible," Howard said, grasping Diana's hand who was about to walk to the yard. "Just follow me if you don't want to get injured. Otherwise, I won't save you if you step into the traps." After that, Howard held her and led her through a very narrow passage. Diana pouted her lips and obediently followed Howard to walk outward. Although she didn't believe that Catherine could guess that she

his foot in the capital, the news reached Catherine immediately.
"He is here!" said Catherine. Her eyes lit up with a spark of joy and her face broke into a complacent smile. She sprang up from
her seat and said, "You guys carry on with your search and I'll go to see him."
"Yes, Your Grace," the informer replied. Then he bowed in front of her and left.
As Catherine reached within the vicinity of Harper and Matthew, Harper had a gut feeling that there must be something on
Matthew's body that made Catherine know that he had entered the capital city. Yet, she did not know what it was.
"I am leaving now," Harper said in a low voice.
"You be careful," Matthew said slowly. 'How could Catherine get a sniff of my presence so easily?' It was important for him to find
that out. But before that, he and Harper had to separate their paths and carry on with the course of action separately.

Fred followed Harper through the narrow alleys of the

single-handed. Fred missed the time when Harper had been feeble. But even at that time, she had a very strong mind. Over time, her strength reached a paranormal level. After all, she had brought a group of people out of the Labyrinth Swamp. That was certainly no feat for a person with normal capacities. "Your Highness, where are we going right now?" This was for the first time that Fred had asked Harper after they separated from Matthew. Harper
