Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Your Highness!" Forsythia quickly rolled her body to stand in front of Harper. A hidden weapon hit her and she instantly fell to
the ground. After that, all she could do was watch helplessly as the other hidden weapons moved toward Harper.
Gritting her teeth, Harper had to steel her resolve to bear the pain from the hidden weapons hitting her. Even if she were to be
seriously injured, it would still be much better than being dying here. However, a white figure, as fast as lightning, moved in front
of Harper to keep her safe. He raised his long sword, much like a swimming dragon, only managing to stave off two hidden
weapons, with the other two piercing into the man's body.
The white figure seemed to fall down in slow motion. At that moment, Harper felt as though her mind had been blown up in an
instant. Those memories she blocked off and the forgotten past came rushing into her head all at once, almost knocking her
senseless, but she could not let herself pass out. In a swift motion, she threw away the dagger in her hand and caught the man
who was about to fall.
"Francis!" There was an ache in Harper's voice. Both of the two hidden weapons managed to hit his vital parts. At that moment,
she was too scared to check Francis' meridians, in fear of finding out anything which she might not be able to accept.
Seeing that Francis had been critically hit by the hidden weapons and that his life was now hanging by a thread, the secret
guards were caught off guard. Wanting to make the most of this opportunity, Diana decided to go straight to Harper to kill her, but
the look in Harper's eyes changed in an instant. With the flash of green light, a vine rose from the ground and turned into a sharp
sword, dashing towards Diana's vital parts in just the blink of an eye.
Diana had no choice but to retreat, but the vines continued to grow out as sharp swords, severely threatening her life and
rendering her incapable of taking even a step closer toward Harper.
When Jason finally arrived with his men, he stumbled upon such a strange scene. Countless vines rose to attack the assassins
in black. Any plant that got close to them would turn into a deadly weapon and kill them off.
"Francis!" Looking at injured Francis in Harper's arms, Jason was shocked. It was this call that pulled Harper back to her senses.
The growing vines disappeared in an instant, leaving behind a number of lifeless bodies. Thanks to this, Diana found an
opportunity to flee.
Taking Francis from Harper's arms, Jason realized that he had been hit by the hidden weapons. His breathing was weak, and it
was so bad that he might die at any moment. Jason felt so lightheaded all of a sudden, while Harper stood there motionless,
clueless as how she was supposed to react.

"Harper Chu, what on earth are you waiting for?" It was the first time Jason had ever spoken to someone in such a harsh tone.
Harper stared blankly at Jason, as if she didn't understand what he was saying.
Jason tried his best to keep himself from slapping Harper in the face. In order to save her, Francis got seriously wounded.
Knowing that, how could she still have the nerve to look at him like that? Did she want Francis to die?
"Harper, if Francis dies, I swear you're going to regret it and feel sorry about it all your life!" Jason was fuming with intense anger.
"You're the only one who can save him now. Do you want him to die?"
The memories flooding through her head threw Harper's mind into chaos. But when she saw how angry Jason was, she finally
calmed down. The past was already a part of the past, and what she needed to do right now was to cherish the present.
Taking out a water-drop-shaped jade pendant, she pinched it open and took out a pill, then she fed it directly to Francis.
"Find a place nearby, I need to take out the hidden weapons to stop his bleeding as soon as possible."
"Go to the palace!" Jason exclaimed without hesitation. Right now, only the Imperial Palace under their control was the safest.
Moreover, Francis had been seriously injured, so there was no way he could let him stay in Matthew's mansion. After all, it was
his enemy's place.
Harper didn't say no Jason's suggestion. Although Matthew's mansion was the nearest one, Jason would never allow Francis to
stay there. And the reason for that was anyone there could try to kill Francis. Knowing that, Harper didn't bother arguing and
simply followed Jason into the palace.
Since Francis got seriously injured, Sherry immediately got the news that Francis was staying in the Bright Moon House, which
was just nearby from the Tranquil Hall. As soon as Jason put him down, Sherry arrived at almost the same time with a group of
people. Without so much as a single word, Sherry slapped Harper in the face, catching her completely off guard.
It happened so fast that Jason couldn't do a thing. Then, Sherry raised her hand and was about to slap her again. However,
Harper caught her wrist and pinned her down to the ground using just a little force.
"How dare you! Because of you, my son got hurt like this! How dare you stop me!" Sherry was extremely furious.
Sherry quickly got on her feet and was about to slap Harper again. Unfortunately for her, Harper didn't have the patience to deal
with her right now. So, she slapped Sherry on the face, causing her to fall to the ground one more time.

"If you want your son to die as soon as possible, then be my guest and just keep slapping me!" Harper blurted out in a cold tone
with a murderous glare. "Or, could it be that you really want him to die as soon as possible?"
