Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 252

Johnson and Rena kept on speaking badly of Harper in front of Matthew, in order to discredit her. Johnson, meanwhile, was endeavoring to whitewash his daughter.

Harper didn't get involved in Matthew's treatment. She shut the door and turned a blind eye to the outside world. The only thing she did was to write down the herbs that were needed to detoxify Matthew, and then let the steward give the list to Matthew.

"Your Highness, we have prepared all the herbs that are needed. Why don't we just give them to the steward, instead of just delivering the list to His Highness?" Nina asked in confusion. She remembered there were medicinal herbs in abundance in Harper's room of herbs. Why wasn't she even willing to offer her resources?

"Because it won't be me to detoxify Matthew. Think about this. What could happen to me if there is something wrong with the herbs offer by me? For the sake of Matthew's safety, it's better and wiser for me not to be involved in anything to do with the treatment." Being of her cautious nature, Harper always considered matters more carefully than others did.

"Well, just let those incompetent fools claim all the credit. What a shame! After all, your prescription is the key to His Highness's cure."

"As long as Matthew is cured, that's all that matters to me! But I still worry about him." Harper cast Nina a bewildered look, but in an instant, she became determined and confident again. When she remembered what motivated Johnson to do this job, Harper guessed that he and his daughter would spare no effort to detoxify Matthew.

According to the deal agreed upon between Matthew and them, they would detoxify him within three days. Furthermore, he would hand over the method of the antidote and the Golden Cicada to Johnson only on that day. Johnson felt rather pleased to consider this arrangement. In the end, Harper would hand over her trump card, which would bring her close to death once the prince recovered.

"Your Highness, the medicine bath is ready." It was Denny's duty to prepare the medicine bath, while the most critical procedure, using the Tribulation Flower and Golden Cicada, was in Johnson's charge. Rena was standing by her father's side to assist when needed.

Barry took off Matthew's clothes and helped him into the medicine bath. Then he was driven out of the room. The procedure was not to be shared with anyone from the outside. Only the people inside were to know.

"Your Highness, it will be a little painful. You can shout out if you can't endure it. It will make you feel better," Rena said affectionately. "If necessary, I will certainly tell my father to try to reduce your pain."

"Hmm," Matthew responded coldly. He was wondering what Harper was doing these days. It had been just a few days since he had seen her, but to Matthew, it felt like more like a year. He almost couldn't bear to delay seeing her any longer.
