Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 72

"My Lady, are you all right?" Nina asked anxiously. She then fetched the medicine kit and intended to clean the wound on the back of Harper's hand. The cut was not deep, but it could not be ignored. If the wound was not treated well, then there might be a scar, leaving an ugly mark forever on her hand.

But Harper stopped Nina. She looked at the wound on the back of her hand, and her eyes were so dark that no one could see through her thoughts and emotions. It was obvious that her aura had changed.

"Excuse me, My Lady?" Nina felt a bit uneasy, noticing this change. She shuddered when she saw Harper staring at the wound on her hand. There was a hint of cruelty in Harper's eyes.

"Leave me alone. I want to stay alone for a while," ordered Harper in an indifferent tone.

"Yes, My Lady." Nina put down the medicine kit and did as she was ordered.

As soon as Nina closed the door, blood began to drip down from the corner of Harper's mouth. She wiped the blood, looking cold and indifferent.

"I was going to let you go, but you are hell-bent on digging your own grave. I'm am forced to take an action to defend myself. Don't blame me for anything. You asked for it! You are going to die anyway. Yvonne would be happy to see this! You owe her your life!" Harper said softly, but her gentle words reeked of coldness.

Harper took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in her chest. She knew for sure it was Felicia who had poisoned her. But Felicia was unaware of the fact that Harper was special. Whatever toxin she took in, it would soon be discharged from her body. In short, it would be fair to say that Harper was immune to poison. If it wasn't for the special trait of her body, she would have died already.

"Nina."

"Yes, My Lady."

"Get ready. We are going out," Harper said slowly. She had already come up with a plan. But if she wanted to execute the plan successfully, she would need someone's help. Besides, she didn't want others to be suspicious of her. Carrie hated Felicia to the core, so Harper was sure that Carrie wouldn't let any chance to hurt Felicia slip away.

"Yes, My Lady," Nina replied obediently.

Due to Felicia's death, the Chu Clan and Kevin's family did not get along well these days. The Chu Clan was having a rough time. Recently, most members of the Chu Clan had kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public. When Harper appeared on the street, people didn't instantly recognize her. But slowly, she began to capture everyone's attention. People stopped doing what they were doing, whispering amongst themselves to discuss her. She had become so famous that it was impossible to blend with the crowd, no matter how hard she tried.

"Oh, isn't that Lady Harper from the Chu Clan?" A lewd voice came, and then a wretched man blocked Harper's way. "Harper, where are you going?"

Ignoring the man in front of her, Harper turned around and was about to leave. However, the man reached out and stopped her. "You're growing more and more beautiful. I thought you might become gaunt after Hansen abandoned you. But it seems that you are living a good life."

The man went ahead and was about to caress Harper's face. However, someone grabbed his hand, stopping him from touching her. "How dare you flirt with a woman in broad daylight!"
