Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 253

"It is said that she once killed the unborn baby of General Maxwell due to her poor medical skills. She almost lost her life because of that mistake. I don't imagine that she has even learnt a lesson from it," Johnson said in a sarcastic tone. "Such a reckless woman. Rena, you don't need to contend with a woman like her. She will die of her arrogance."

Denny didn't say anything. Harper was not a bad person from his point of view. Her only fault was that she had offended Rena. He didn't really want to take a stand between Rena and Harper.

When Denny was sunk in his thoughts, he didn't notice Rena's movements. When no one was looking, she put her hand into the bath barrel, pretending to test the temperature of the water. Nobody but her knew of her real intention.

"The toxins are about to subside. Prepare the Golden Cicada!" Seeing that the toxins in Matthew's body had gradually stabilized, Johnson knew that the toxins had been neutralized by the toxic substance from Tribulation Flower. The toxins were evenly balanced in his body, waiting for the Golden Cicada to break the balance and absorb all of the toxins at the same time.

The toxins in Matthew's body were stable for no more than an instant, and then the balance collapsed. They spread all over his body, which stunned both Johnson and Denny. "What's going on?"

"Aargh!" The pain was too much for Matthew to endure. He let out a shrill scream. The toxins broke out, and he felt as if his bones and muscles were in flames. The pain in every inch of his skin overwhelmed him.

"Hurry up to release the Golden Cicada!" Johnson was a little shocked. He hoped that the Golden Cicada could keep the situation under control, so he just decided to put it in the water, despite not being the right moment. As soon as the cicada flew into Matthew's body, he struggled even more violently. Johnson and Denny were holding him at his two sides, keeping him under control.

The Golden Cicada lurked and swam randomly under the skin of Matthew, causing him into a spasm. His seven orifices were bleeding with black blood, and then he passed out. Terrified by the scene, Denny loosened his grip on Matthew. Then he quickly grabbed Matthew's wrist and felt his pulse. The touch scared him to a pulp, and he said, "Master, what should we do now?"

Johnson was also surprised. It was not supposed to be like this. Obviously, the toxins in Matthew's body had been brought under control just a moment before, so why had the toxins suddenly erupted again? No mistake had been made in the meanwhile! What had gone wrong?

Johnson was flabbergasted, and Denny was frozen in fear. Matthew's pulse was weakening every second. If things continued like this, the prince would die!
