Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 255

His eyes landed on the two men who had been just apprehended. Rufus, confused, turned to look at Harper, who was trying to drag Matthew out from the bath barrel. "Hey, woman..."

"Don't just babble there! Come and help me!" Harper shouted. Anger gripped Harper's insides. It was like a blazing inferno that wanted to burn her from the inside out. This became evident in her voice, which was loud and thunderous. This quickly put terror into Rufus' heart that he unconsciously shook like a leaf. In a hurry, he dashed to help Harper. The two of them successfully got Matthew out of the bath barrel and put him on the bed.

"Go and fetch some water," Harper ordered. She opened the needle kit, only to find that her hands were shaking so uncontrollably. She slapped the back of her hand several times that it was already glowing red, but her hand was still trembling.

"Here's the clear water that you asked for, Your Highness."

"The liquid medicine on his body shall be..." Then, it suddenly clicked in Harper's mind. 'There is a hot spring in Matthew's bedroom!' she thought. Quickly, she reached out and pressed the button on the bedside. As she had expected, the partition door was opened. "Put him inside and wash his body."

With pursed lips, Rufus followed her orders. Swiftly but carefully, he put Matthew into the hot spring to tidy his body up. After the bath, he took him out and put him on the bed beside Harper. Her hands had already stopped trembling and within a few second, she was able to carry out the acupuncture treatment quickly and accurately.

"Barry, block Denny's and Johnson's internal forces. After that, lock them up. If any of the three prisoners gets way, you will be put to death as a punishment." Harper's eyes were as dangerous as a hawk's.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Forsythia."

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"Go to the Bu Clan at once and request Zack to come here. Inform him that something urgent has happened and tell him to come here on the sly."

"Understood, Your Highness."

Seeing the serious face everyone in the room was wearing, Rufus, for a moment, was clueless as what to say. Denny was his friend and they got along well, but Harper had just issued an order to lock him and the other two up. Not even Barry had the courage to defy Harper's orders and say no.

"Hey, woman..." he said, walking towards Harper. That moment, however, he noticed something. "Oh, no. Your Highness, what on earth happened? " Seeing that Matthew was as black as charcoal, he immediately knew that he was poisoned. A sinister smile crept on his lips. It had never occurred to him that Matthew would be in such a situation one day.

"Don't you see that he's dying?" Harper gave Rufus a ferocious stare. 'How dare you!' she thought, her eyes narrowing. 'This guy literally has the audacity to smile at this moment!'
