Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 729

After making some hefty purchase of medicinal herbs, Harper didn't want to shop around anymore. She was eager to get back to the general's mansion and study those herbs she had just procured. Matthew knew very well about her, so he went back with her.

As soon as the couple arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, Luther, accompanied by two men, went up to them and greeted, "Greetings, Your Highnesses."

"Where are you heading, Luther?" Harper asked in confusion. "Is there something urgent at the barracks?"

"Your Highness, there isn't any particular emergency at the barracks, but I was trying to find you. I heard you both went out of the mansion alone, with no guards for your protection. So, I was worried about your safety." Luther was a very considerate person. He was ready to undertake any tasks that one could think of, and could control an army of one hundred thousand soldiers in a short time. It was evident that he wasn't simple-minded.

"Thank you so much for your concern, Luther. We just wanted to take a walk around the Birch Pass and see its local traditions, its people, as well as its culture. If you sent some people to follow us, the civilians would feel uneasy, and they might feel like being harassed," Matthew said indifferently. "People here live and work peacefully. I couldn't find anything inharmonious or strange at all. You indeed manage it very well."

"Your Highness, thank you for your kind words. I am just doing my job."

Matthew nodded and walked in with Harper. He turned around at the threshold and ordered, "Barry, stay at the door. When the things that Harper purchased are delivered, ask someone to move them into her room. She needs them."

"Yes, Your Highness."

At the same time, Luther followed up and said, "Your Highness, the Worship Ceremony will be held in five days at the capital of the South Kingdom. May I know when you are leaving for the ceremony?"

"Tomorrow," Matthew replied swiftly. "In order to avoid anything undesirable, you lead the soldiers and wait at the border. By then, ask your people to deal with the changing situations tactically."

A hint of surprise flashed across Luther's eyes. He asked, "Will the South Kingdom create trouble then?"

Matthew didn't reply. He didn't know whether the South Kingdom would take the chance to stir up trouble, but he was sure that Francis would do it. However, at the moment, Matthew was also concerned with something else. The garrison of the south domain was the most complex army among all the forces in the Bright Dynasty. Two of the three generals of the south domain hadn't met him so far. Matthew had been in the Birch Pass since the last two days, but they never showed the courtesy to visit him. It was obvious that even though he was the prince, they didn't take him seriously.
