Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 621

The two stared at each other. There was just one person in the imperial capital whose arrogance was really unparalleled. That person was Harper. Due to her outstanding medical skills and her clan's power before her marriage, she had been remarkably arrogant. Although she seemed gentle and restrained after she got married with Matthew, her nature was unchanged. Even the emperor couldn't do anything to her!

"In the past, you didn't like Harper and thought no man would marry her because of her temper. But look at her now! She's married to Prince Matthew, and he's absolutely devoted to her." Monica put her hand on her forehead. She was once hit on the head by Matthew and it left a pink scar. Now, it seemed that he had gone easy on her back then.

"Alas, we can only envy her excellent good luck."

"Yes, not everyone can be so lucky as her." Monica smiled bitterly.

"Ladies." After a while, Minna trotted in. She threw a glance at Monica, and then turned to Sherry. She wanted to make some remarks, but she hesitated.

"If you have anything to report, just spit it out. What's holding your tongue?" Sherry prompted her.

Minna gritted her teeth and said, "A maid found a female corpse in the Cold Palace's well. Her body was swollen, and her face couldn't be recognized. I heard that she was Lady Cheryl, the one who was promoted as the attendant a few days ago."

"Cheryl is dead?" Sherry and Monica looked at each other, taken aback. A few days ago, the empress pretended to be ill in order to lure the emperor to the Sleek Palace to check on her. Little did she know that the emperor, after visiting her, would have slept with her maid! Because he developed a lust for that maid, the emperor even didn't attend the imperial court session the next day, and he brought her away from the empress's palace that day to promote her as to the rank of an attendant. But why was she found dead today?

Monica's mind was racing. The empress was a harsh and intolerant woman towards those around her. She would never tolerate any sort of betrayal. Cheryl had been working for the empress, but she dared to seduce the emperor. Even after becoming an attendant, she couldn't escape the deadly retribution of the empress.

"Cheryl used to belong to the Sleek Palace, and the empress is in charge of all the affairs of the imperial harem. It's none of our business," Sherry whispered. "Minna, don't look into it any further. Just drop it."

"My Lady, I didn't mean to. But I heard that Lady Cheryl was drowned, and when her body was pulled out of the well, they also found a voodoo doll on her."

"They found WHAT?!" Monica was shocked. The practice of voodoo was strictly forbidden In the Bright Dynasty, and it was especially forbidden in the imperial palace. Cheryl had been killed. Why was a voodoo doll found on her? Was anyone using voodoo curse in the palace?

"Sherry, I'm afraid it's a big deal. Using voodoo stuff is a serious felony!" Monica's face turned pale. As the emperor's concubines, they didn't dare to get involved in anything related to voodoo. It was like playing with fire.

Equally shocked, Sherry asked at once, "Has the thing been reported to His Majesty?"
