Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 735

Since Matthew and Harper parted from the envoy team, the team was no longer pestered by the poisonous insects or snakes for some reason. Everyone immediately felt worried, believing that the poisonous insects and snakes were chasing after the couple. They thought that Matthew drew away the poisonous creatures for the sake of their safety.

If Harper knew what these people were thinking, she would absolutely despise them. The actual reason that they left the team was because she and Matthew suspected that there were spies in the team. Moreover, if they continued to stay with them, everyone in the team would not be able to endure the attacks of the poisonous insects and snakes any longer. They would also run out of medicinal herbs in no time.

When a realization suddenly came to Harper, she asked, "Matthew, do you think the reason that these poisonous insects and snakes have been constantly attacking is that they want us to use up all of our medicine?"

Matthew narrowed his eyes a little. Although they had bought a lot of medicinal supplies, only a few people knew that Harper had refined them into pills, making them convenient to be carried around. So how could those people know that they brought a lot of pills with them?

"There's a spy in the general's mansion!"

"What's more, I'm afraid there's also a spy hiding among the five hundred guards. But we don't know who the spies are since we don't know the army in the south domain very well!" Harper exclaimed. In fact, she was quite impressed. It seemed like the people who were hiding in the dark were by no means weak and incapable. Luther was not an incompetent man. The guards he selected must be at the top of their game and perhaps some of them were even his right hand. So it would be quite impressive to be able to place a spy among Luther's men.

"We're going to know who the spies are very soon," Matthew said while he handed Harper the fruits which he had washed for her. While they continued to walk, Harper took one and started eating it.

She then blinked her eyes and stated, "You're right. A fox always shows its tail sooner or later. But I wonder who the planted spy in the Birch Pass is."

Matthew didn't respond to her. For the time being, they couldn't tell which one was the spy, or perhaps, there was more than one planted spy.

All of a sudden, Harper stopped walking. She then turned to Matthew and asked, "Matthew, if one of those three people is a spy, can we get some help if something happens to us here?"

With his arms around Harper's waist, Matthew took her away using his flying skills. "Don't worry about it. It's time to change the commander in chief of the Birch Pass. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Lucas won't be able to sleep at night from worrying too much."

Harper was a little surprised to hear that. Every time she saw Lucas, he would always make impromptu comic gestures and remarks. But she knew that even though he looked inconspicuous, he was an extremely assertive person. The troops stationed at the Birch Pass had been a burden on the emperor. In the past, Harrison had used them as his private army so the late emperor didn't even want to take over the south domain. But Lucas decided that he wanted to do what his father couldn't, which only meant that he was quite brave.
