Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 260

Three days was a period neither too long nor too short. However, for Matthew, each day was so prolonged that he felt it as long as a year. But for Johnson and Denny, the days passed like the blink of an eye.

The next day after Matthew woke up, the emperor issued an imperial edict to summon him. Had it not been for Matthew's early recovery, the old emperor would have broken into the prince's mansion by force. When Matthew finally appeared in front of everyone, the old emperor was quite astonished, but he didn't find fault with Matthew.

After returning home, Matthew interrogated Rena secretly.

"Your Highness! Have you come to save me?" As Rena saw Matthew, tears streamed down her face. "Your Highness, Her Highness is very vicious. She not only showed the wrong way to detoxify you but also imprisoned me. Your Highness, kindly help me."

Matthew looked cold, and there was visible disgust in his eyes. But Rena was unable to see that and had a strong feeling that he had come to save her. "I offered the Tribulation Flower to save your life, but Her Highness was jealous of me and had intended to kill you. Your Highness, you should never let her go."

"The method to detoxify me was wrong?" Matthew enquired coldly. Since the look on his face was as cold as always, Rena never noticed that something was actually wrong.

"That's right. My father and Denny can prove it to you. We strictly followed each step of the method written by Harper, but it still went wrong!" Rena's eyes twinkled with affection. Even if she knew, she would never have admitted that it actually went wrong as she had drugged him with aphrodisiac.

"But Denny told me that something was added in the medicated bath, resulting in the toxins in my body to lose balance," Matthew said slowly and fidgeted with his jade ring.

In a trembling voice, Rena said, "No, I didn't put the aphrodisiac in your bath. I didn't!"

"I didn't say anything about the aphrodisiac. Why did you admit it?" Matthew asked in a disdainful tone while looking at the woman who had admitted her guilt before being inquired.

"I... I..." Rena stammered as she was unable to come up with a reasonable explanation. Actually, Harper had mentioned the aphrodisiac before, but Rena was too anxious now to realize that. The onus was now completely on Matthew, and whether he would decide to still marry her as a concubine was something to be waited and watched.
