Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Also, about the Qin Clan—"
"Zack, you don't have to worry about me. Both the Qin Clan and the Chu Clan are in the past for me. Right now, Alexander is
under the protection of Marquis Pearce, and Gianna is under the protection of Prince Allen. All I need to do is to protect
Matthew's mansion," Harper said slowly. She then looked up and added, "Zack, look at the beautiful sky. Sometimes when you
do, you will find that there are still a lot of things worth looking forward to and pursuing in the world."
All of a sudden, the light in Zack's eyes dimmed, but he soon returned to normal. "Yes, there are a lot of things that are worth
looking forward to in this world. By the way, when will you come back?"
"I haven't decided yet. After I leave for the Great Jade Kingdom, I have to go to the Wonder Kingdom to meet up with an old
friend. Speaking of which, I actually want to introduce a friend to you someday," Harper said with a faint smile.
"He must be an interesting person, given that he is a friend of yours," Zack responded. "I'm looking forward to seeing what kind
of person he is."
"He's a man who looks a lot like you. During the hardest part of my life, he encouraged me to hold on. He was also the one who
helped me find the master who taught me. He is like a brother to me," Harper softly said.
Zack was surprised to see the tender expression on Harper's face. She hadn't shown such an expression even in front of
Alexander and Gianna. Therefore, he thought that the person she was talking about must be of great importance to her. But he
didn't know about it until now.
"I'm even more curious now. He must be a gentle person."
Harper giggled. "Gentle? No, he's not gentle. Every time it seemed like he was gentle, it would turn out that he was actually
planning how to play a prank on me. Unfortunately, I was not a match for him every single time. We're friends, but we're also
'enemies' if you know what I mean."
The corners of Zack's mouth twitched a little. He thought that such a person who could make Harper feel very warm must have a
very interesting temperament. "Who is it?"
"He is the young lord of the Phoenix City. His name is Darren."
When he heard the name, Zack was a little surprised. Although Darren seldom appeared in public, no one dared to look down on
him. Even outsiders knew that Phoenix City was a strong and indestructible city. But no one knew that eight years ago, the real

ruler of the Phoenix City had been Darren, and his father, the former ruler, had already traveled around the world so no one knew
where he was.
"Darren is a remarkable man," Zack remarked.
"Really?" She paused as if in serious thought before she continued, "He is powerful and has a very sharp tongue. Aside from
that, I haven't found anything special about him."
"But he's the one who can make you admit defeat. Isn't he powerful enough in this regard? As far as I'm concerned, there aren't
many people who can make you do that," Zack seriously said.
Harper rubbed her nose and thought for a while. She then nodded her head in agreement. "I guess you're right. By the way,
when I passed by Phoenix City, I deliberately avoided him. Will he beat me to death the next time I see him?"
After carefully thinking it over, Zack nodded. "Probably. If you don't want to be beaten, you can bring Prince Matthew with you.
For the sake of your husband, he may not be as furious."
Actually, Zack wasn't telling her the entire truth. In fact, Darren was very likely to vent his anger on Matthew and beat him up. He
lied because about a week ago, Matthew was trying to instigate conflict between him and Darren. And after listening to Harper's
explanation, he immediately knew that it had been Darren who Matthew was vigilant against.
"I think you're right!" Nevertheless, Harper agreed with him.
Then, Forsythia came out of nowhere. "Your Highness, here comes Lord Shawn."
A hint of concern instantly appeared in Harper's eyes. "Let him in. Something might have happened to Lady Wendy."
Shawn walked in with big strides. When he saw Zack, he was a little bit stunned. "Harper, Wendy woke up but something's
wrong."
"Is Physician Gore unable to deal with it?" Harper was surprised. Physician Gore was supposed to be very good at handling the
kind of recovery treatment that Wendy was going through. After all, he had learned a lot from her, and he understood the
knowledge much better than those old physicians.
"Wendy is in a bad mood. She wouldn't let Physician Gore in her room. Actually, she doesn't let anyone in. She just kept on
yelling about some scar all the time. Her screams can be heard all throughout the mansion so I didn't have a choice but to come

and see you." A strange look appeared on Shawn's face. He didn't seem to understand Wendy's reaction. For men, scars meant
nothing. Even if they obtained any amount of scars on their body, they wouldn't take it seriously. Scars could sometimes be
regarded as trophies on the battlefield. The more scars you had, the braver and stronger you would be considered.
Harper understood the situation. Because of the operation, there was a big scar on Wendy's chest. She was afraid that since
Wendy's condition had gotten a lot better, she finally noticed the scar. It might be a little hard for her to accept that.
"It's not a big deal. Just ignore it," Harper said.
"But Physician Gore said that if she ripped the wound—"
"Rip the wound? Does she want to die?" Harper was surprised by then.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know she would have such a reaction," Shawn said with a worried expression on his face.
"In that case, I'm going to have a look," Harper calmly said. She wouldn't mind giving Wendy a quick death if she really wanted to
die!
Watching Harper who was walking very quickly out of the room, Zack then turned to Shawn. The man had a hopeless expression
in his eyes, so Zack asked, "What's going on? The person under Harper's treatment shouldn't have any problem. What's wrong
with your sister?"
