Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 700

While looking at Francis' receding figure, Harper gnashed her teeth in anger. If she hadn't controlled herself, she would have eaten him alive. 'How dared he plot against me! Since I became Princess Harper, no one had ever dared to do that. He was the first one.'

Even Forsythia was so surprised that her mind started to wander off. 'If Lady Harper became Prince Francis' wife, how would Prince Matthew react? He would never allow such a horrendous thing to happen!'

"Your Highness, you can't be Prince Francis' wife!"

"Have you lost your mind? Of course, I won't agree to that!" Harper quickly turned to Forsythia, feeling somewhat uneasy. When did Francis start to plot against her? He even made a fake divorce agreement and stole her jade bracelets which Matthew gave to her as a token of their love. If it was only the divorce agreement, Matthew might not believe it. But the bracelets completely changed everything.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Nina and Anabel became worried as well. When Harper was imprisoned in the palace, they too were taken there to restrain her while taking care of her. If Harper did anything to try and escape, Francis would threaten her with their lives.

Harper frowned before saying, "Don't worry. It doesn't matter if Matthew received the divorce agreement. If Matthew and I kept the matter a secret, who else would know about the divorce, right?"

The maids looked at each other and felt even more worried. They all thought that Harper was too optimistic. Since Francis had made his move, he wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted.

"Though, I'm afraid that he still has some tricks up his sleeve," Harper added. Now that she was confined in the Sleek Palace, she wasn't able to be updated with what was happening outside. The palace was heavily guarded that even her men couldn't come in to relay information right away. As a result, there was nothing she could do since every move would just be too risky. She really hoped that someone could tell her any news from outside the palace.

"Prince Jason is here." A maid's voice came from outside the room.

Harper's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth raised into a smile. She suddenly remembered that yesterday, she had promised Jason she would give him the thirty-six peaches-sharing skills as a gift. Jason might be the one she had been hoping for! They were even a little close because they studied with the same master for quite some time!

The moment Jason reached the door, the first thing he saw was Harper waving at him with a bright smile. He stepped back and looked at the plaque on the top of the door. Only after he was certain that he didn't walk to the wrong hall did he walk in and approach her. He said, "Why do you look so happy? I feel like something is wrong."

"Jason, are you here for the gift?" Harper asked while serving a cup of tea for him.

Affection flashed in Jason's eyes for a moment, but he pretended that he didn't care at all. "Are you saying that the gift is ready?"

"Not yet, but it's just a piece of cake. I can prepare it right away. I assure you it won't take long." Harper's eyes sparkled when she quickly asked her maids to prepare a writing brush, ink stick, paper, and inkstone. "Is there anything interesting that happened outside the palace recently?" she casually asked.
