Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Derrick was extremely angry. He cursed in mind that Victoria was so useless. She failed to stop Matthew and made his Black
Flag Army show up here. Considering that the powerful Black Flag Army was here, he knew that Victoria had been defeated.
Thus, the best option for him was to retreat for the time being. As long as he was alive, he still had a chance to make his way
back.
With that thought in mind, Derrick intended to retreat and run away immediately. However, as soon as he moved, an iron net fell
from the sky and trapped him tightly.
"Bastard, you have been captured!"
Joshua snorted. He had guessed that Derrick cherished his life very much. When he found himself in a disadvantageous
situation, he would definitely find a way to escape. So Joshua had prepared to prevent his escape in advance. As long as Derrick
wanted to escape, he would definitely be a rat in the hole!
The net was made of iron. Thus, no matter how hard he tried, Derrick couldn't break it and his face turned livid. "You can't kill me.
I am the only one who knows where the secret treasure house of the Qin Clan is hidden," Derrick said, staring at Joshua
hatefully.
Joshua squatted in front of Derrick and said, "You such a fool; do you think Princess Harper can order us to kill you here if she
doesn't know the hiding place of the treasure?"
"So, it's Harper who wants to kill me!" Derrick was shocked. The reason he dared to make such a mess in the Phoenix City was
that he had firmly believed Harper would not kill him, but now it turned out he was completely wrong. After all, Harper was a
heartless person. She had killed his father. Thus, she would never show mercy to him.
"Please let me go, and I'll take you to find the treasure," Derrick pleaded at once.
"I'm not the kind who likes treasures!" Joshua spat on Derrick's face and broke the sinews of his right hand with a sword. Derrick
was both painful and furious, but he couldn't resist. Holding his wrist, he wished he could tear Joshua to pieces.
"Don't worry, Lord Derrick. What I'm good at is to torture people, making him feel that death is better than being alive. You'll soon
beg me to kill you!" Joshua dragged the iron net to the lord's mansion.
"Tsk-tsk, our general must be itching again. This time, the lord would have a lot to suffer. I've never seen anyone who won't beg

"Darling, I think you'd better find a wife for Joshua, in case he may suffer from some unknown illness after being single for too long time." Matthew checked Joshua from head to toe, who was still excited about his masterpiece. Joshua didn't have the slightest idea that Matthew had already planned to find a tough woman to discipline him. How dare he make the lord look so

said with difficulty, "Kill me..." His teeth were also removed by Joshua, so he couldn't speak clearly. With a sinister smile, Harper said, "Derrick, you are the lord of the Phoenix City, the doorkeeper of the secret treasure house of the Qin Clan. How can you die? You have to guard the secret treasure for all your whole life." Derrick's eyes widened in disbelief. Only the last lord of the Phoenix City knew he was the doorkeeper of the treasure, which was a top secret passed down from the last lord. How could Harper know it? "You..." Derrick uttered with great difficulty. "Do you want to ask me why I knew such a fact?" Harper had a brighter smile. "Have you forgotten that I am the only direct descendant of the Qin Clan? How could I not know your secret?" "The treasure..." Derrick hesitated. "The secret treasure house is just a cover. The real inheritance is in the Heavenly Book. The secret treasure you've been thinking about in your mind is just a lie," Harper explained slowly. "After that door, there is no piles of gold and silver jewelry, nor is there any elixir that can help you live forever. There are only skeletons and endless silence and fatigue!" Derrick widened his eyes as though he couldn't believe what she said. Then, he found it hard to breathe. In no time, he kicked the bucket. Victoria was unwilling to believe what Harper just said at all. After Harper opened the door of the secret treasure house, Victoria saw with her own eyes that there was nothing there. As she couldn't accept such a blow, she went crazy.

of course, I will roam around the world." Rolando waved his hand and left without looking back. Looking at Rolando's receding figure, Harper didn't ask him to stay. Rolando had his own pride, and his pride wouldn't allow him to live under other people's roof, even though he was no longer an emperor. "Darling, let's go back to the imperial capital." All of a sudden, Harper missed the relatives and friends of the imperial capital a lot. Now that her brother came here, and the Phoenix City

hand. His eyes reddened as he saw Harper get off the carriage. He called with tears brimming in his eyes, "Harper." Harper was a little surprised. He looked at the boy who held the child, and found that the boy and the girl were Alexander and Gianna whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Before she could say anything, Alexander had released his arms from Gianna's and ran towards her. But when the boy was about to rush into Harper's arms, he was stopped by Matthew. "You brat, who allowed you to be so
