Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 50

"Your Highness, a lotus lantern is lit up in the Chu Clan mansion." The guard came in and reported to Matthew. A gust of wind came and Matthew, who was in a wheelchair, disappeared in the darkness.

Harper thought the masked man couldn't see her lotus lantern since it was too late at night. She thought that even if he saw it, he would not come until the next day. She didn't expect to see him so soon.

"You want to see me?" A voice rang out in the darkness. Seeing that it was the masked man, Harper heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's so late. I didn't expect you to come here tonight." Harper was surprised. She straightened her clothes and found the man leaning against the window, looking at her quietly.

"What do you want?" the man asked her directly. He already knew that something had happened. He had his own guess, and based from the news coming from the Chu Clan mansion, there was something she needed to share with him. But he wanted Harper to tell him herself.

After hesitating for a moment, Harper walked to the window. "You said you could get whatever you want. Is that true?"

"Of course."

"Can we get Yvonne's wedding dress?" Harper asked softly. "The dress will be sent to the Chu Clan mansion the day before the wedding. I wouldn't have a chance to touch it."

"My guess was right. Those two women are ungrateful and vicious." There was a hint of mockery behind his words.

"Just as I expected," Harper calmly replied. "I've already reached my goal. If she hadn't been so greedy and tried to kill me, I wouldn't have paid attention to them. There are many people who want me dead, and I'm not going to wait for anyone to kill me. I'm not that kind of person who repays injury with kindness."

The man looked at Harper as if she was a puzzle he couldn't solve. He thought she would be sad and angry at being betrayed. When the guard told him that Harper lit the lotus lantern at the Chu Clan mansion, he came as soon as he could. But she didn't look angry or sad. She didn't look like she needed to be comforted, which he thought he'd be doing when he came here. Instead, she looked calm and collected, as if she had already expected the worst.

"How can you remain calm after getting betrayed by the people you've trusted?" he asked, confused. He hated being betrayed the most. Betrayals led to death. Therefore, he couldn't afford to be betrayed.

Harper shrugged her shoulders. "Before everything unfold, I've already thought of the worst thing that could happen. Since I've already thought of the worst, I'm mentally prepared for the result."

"Do you want me to get Yvonne's wedding dress for you?" he asked, changing the topic.

Harper shook her head and took out a small green bottle. "No. I just need you to add something to her wedding dress."

"What's this?" He was about to open the lid when Harper stopped him, a surprised expression on her face.

"Don't open it!" Harper exclaimed in shock. She then realized that she was overreacted. But she didn't let go of his wrist and just said awkwardly, "It's a bottle of philter."

"You want to give her this and get rid of her baby?" he asked slowly.

Harper shook her head. She didn't have much interest in Yvonne, but she could use Yvonne for revenge. "She is not my goal."

"You want to use Yvonne to drug Hansen!" Hansen was Harper's former fiance. She said she didn't care, but maybe she still had Hansen in her heart. The masked man felt a little uncomfortable at the thought.

Harper didn't panic when the man saw through her. She said with composure, "Yes. I seek revenge for even the smallest grievance. He owed me a life."

"Owe you a life?" The man was a little surprised.

Harper didn't answer. Hansen owed the original owner of her body a life. If it weren't Hansen and Felicia who plotted against her, the original owner of her body wouldn't have died! She wanted to avenge the original owner of her body.

"Will the effects wear off if I sprinkle it on Yvonne's wedding dress? Will it affect others?" the man asked nervously.

"No, you have to apply it on the inner side of the dress. She won't be affected. The drug is made to be potent for males only. Once a man inhales a dose of it after drinking, the drug will come into effect." Harper's expression was as cold as ice. She didn't seem guilty at all, as if she was talking about the weather.
