Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 730

In a private room inside the teahouse, a man had already been waiting for Luther. "How is everything going in the city?" Luther asked.

"Everything is fine," the man replied.

"Where did Prince Matthew and his wife go today?" Luther asked specifically.

"They had been to the morning market and then the Treasure Pavilion. I am not sure what they bought from there."

"The Treasure Pavilion?" Luther frowned. He knew well about the Treasure Pavilion, as it was notorious for selling fake, shoddy and defective goods in the Birch Pass. The Treasure Pavilion had cheated many people. Yet, the pavilion was very careful in their dealings and they hardly left any evidence against them. So Luther allowed them to keep running their business.

"Prince Matthew didn't lift the roof of the Treasure Pavilion?" Luther asked curiously. The pavilion was notorious. So he assumed that if the pavilion dared to cheat Matthew and his wife, the consequences would be serious.

"Not yet. Princess Harper seemed happy when she came out of the pavilion. She carried a box with her, and asked the shopkeeper of the pavilion to send all the things she procured to your mansion," the man answered cautiously. "General, but why are you keeping watch on Prince Matthew?"

"Prince Matthew and his wife are our honorable guests. The Birch Pass is in the south domain. What if there is a lawless intruder in the city? And what if he hurts them in the city under our watch? My intention is not to spy on them. I'm sending you to protect them secretly. If anything happens, I can be there to rescue them in time," Luther said slowly as he took a sip of tea.

The man scratched his head and said with embarrassment, "General, you are amazing. Sorry to misunderstand you."

"Okay, you may take your leave now," Luther ordered in a low voice. The Birch Pass had a mixed population, including people from the Bright Dynasty, the South Kingdom, and even other kingdoms. Since he was the commander in chief of the garrison in the south domain, he had heavy responsibilities. He didn't dare to act carelessly at such a critical moment.

The ascension of the new emperor to the throne had led to major transformations in the whole Bright Dynasty. Meanwhile, the South Kingdom had invited guests from other kingdoms to watch their Worship Ceremony. Luther felt uneasy seeing the strange events unfolding around him.

"Luther." A soft and gentle voice abruptly came from behind. When Luther turned back, he was surprised to see one of his old acquaintances. He quickly smiled and said calmly, "I knew you must be alive." Looking at the acquaintance, who stood in the dark, he added, "Why are you here? What are you going to do this time?"

The person in the dark maintained his silence. He just looked at Luther quietly for a long time before he said slowly, "My purpose is, well, someone here in the Birch Pass."

"Who?" Luther asked calmly. The people his acquaintance was looking for couldn't be someone who had been in the Birch Pass for a long time, but would be among the few people who came there recently. That would be the reason his acquaintance would have taken the risk to be here now.
