The moment Matthew came in, he said nothing and left all the things to Harper to handle. The only thing he had done was to ask
the servant behind him to hand him a small bag and it turned out to be a bag of smoked plum. He picked one and fed it to Harper
and Harper ate it with appetite.
"Please forgive me, Lady Victoria. I love to eat something sour since I am pregnant," Harper explained, seeing the puzzled look
on Victoria's face. Harper knew that Victoria was buying more time for Derrick, so she was playing along with her. It was hard to
say that who would laugh last.
Victoria was confused. She could tell that Matthew loved their baby very much. In this way, there wasn't much time left for them
to find the treasure. They should find out where the secret treasure house was as soon as possible and open it.
"Your Highness, if Harper and your child were in danger at the same time, which one would you choose to protect first?"
Matthew gave Victoria a cold look and said flatly, "Both." He would protect Harper and their baby no matter what happened.
"What if you can only choose one?"
"There is no if. I will protect Harper and whatever Harper wants," Matthew said seriously. "I will guard the baby and the Heavenly

Victoria's face darkened. She knew that there was no way to lure them into telling her the truth. She also wondered how Derrick

The poison should take effect in any minutes now. After it took effect, Matthew would have no strength to resist, and then she could took Harper away to get the Heavenly Books and Sacred Seal. The servant behind Matthew suddenly fell down. Harper and Matthew turned their heads,

with fell down as well. Harper seemed to be shocked and questioned, "What did you do?"
A big smile appeared on Victoria's wrinkled face as she said, "Harper, it's all for your own good. You'd better come with us. You
are the only direct descendant of the Qin Clan. If you die, the treasure of the Qin Clan will be buried forever!"
"So, should I express my thanks to you?" Harper said gently, smiling like a queen and didn't look like someone who was under
Victoria's thumb.
Matthew didn't move, but his face was livid. Victoria sneered, "Your Highness, I suggest you'd better not activate your internal
