Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 713

The first time Francis was witness to Harper's sheer ruthlessness, he was glad to see that she was a woman with her own principles. But when he became the victim of her cruelty, all his merry was overturned to sadness. It was not until that moment, he realized that he could get treated so ruthlessly by her. It slowly came into his senses that he was nothing special to her, but just the one who stepped on her bottom line.

Like all those other people who dared to step on her bottom line, he was also retaliated and became just a stranger to her!

"How's your wound?" Jason asked in a light voice while moving through the dark passage.

"I won't die," Francis said, in a hoarse and depressed voice. Though Jason couldn't see his face, he anticipated that he would look quite livid.

"Don't worry. As long as we stick to this passage, we will soon be out of the imperial capital. We cannot stay in here anymore." Jason led the way, and Owen, holding Francis' arm, followed. The secret passage was dimly lit with torches, and there was just the sound of their footsteps to be heard. All their secret guards got killed, and only the three escaped.

Owen hated Harper to the core. Even though she didn't like his master, Francis, there was no excuse for hurting him so badly without mercy. After all, his master was so concerned about her.

"Prince Jason, where are we going now?" Owen asked under his breath.

"To the South Kingdom." Before Jason could answer, Francis spoke. "We still have some chip in our hands. Contact Diana and ask her to help us."

After a brief silence, Jason whispered, "Okay."

After a whole day's fight in the Imperial Palace, its floor was completely stained with blood. Even after repeated washing by the servants, the floor was still stained in red.

The officials were waiting in the Tranquil Hall. They stealthily hoped that Matthew would take over the throne. Matthew was a rare talent, and no one doubted his capability. If he were to take over the throne, he would certainly bring prosperity to the Bright Dynasty. However, if the eighth prince, Lucas, ascended the throne, they had no such confidence in him. They were not so sure about his abilities. His dissolute image was deeply rooted in their minds, and it was not easy to change in a quick time.

In the Imperial Study, Lucas gave the imperial jade seal to Matthew and said, "Uncle, I hope you will inherit the throne. It's not that I don't like the throne, but I believe that only under your leadership can the Bright Dynasty emerge prosperous."
