Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 745

At that time, the Holy Maiden was about to leave. She was overjoyed after spending the afternoon with Harper. She turned to Becky but only for a short while before turning to Harper. "You'd better give a good lesson to those people who distort facts. In the South Kingdom, those who slander someone else's reputation and are then proven to be spewing lies will be thrown into the cave with thousands of poisonous sects."

"Thank you, Your Grace. I will keep your words in mind," Harper responded with a smile. After exchanging some more pleasantries, the Holy Maiden left. Harper watched her with bliss while Becky, on the other side, started turning pale like a sheet of paper.

"You did that on purpose!" Becky exclaimed through gritted teeth.

Raising her eyebrows at Becky, Harper replied, "I think the Holy Maiden's suggestion was very wise. You thought I wouldn't kill you, so you kept on pushing me to my limits?"

In an instant, Becky suddenly looked embarrassed. But it didn't last. She then snorted and left without saying another word.

After that, the keeper of the inn came up to Harper and said with obvious envy, "Oh, you're so lucky to receive the Holy Maiden's invitation to come to the Starry Palace. It's truly a great honor."

Harper put the token in her pocket before responding. "I haven't been to the Starry Palace before. They said even the bricks and tiles are made of white jade and all of the things in there are invaluable. How rich and magnificent the palace should be!"

Hearing this, the keeper immediately straightened his back, taking absolute pride in the palace. "Of course, the Holy Maiden is so pure and noble like a fairy. The palace she lives should be pure and noble as well. That's why the Starry Palace was entirely made of Chinese white jade. It symbolized her holy image. You'll be able to see that tomorrow."

"Sir, could you please tell me what am I not supposed to do in the Starry Palace? I don't want to do anything rude that might offend Holy Maiden tomorrow," Harper asked.

The keeper was very glad to do her the favor, so he replied, "Oh, my pleasure. First, no one is allowed to enter the library of the Starry Palace except the Holy Maiden and other members of the royal family. Anyone who enters the library will suffer severe punishment from heaven."

"What is the punishment from heaven?" Harper curiously asked.

"It's the divine thunder and lightning from the heaven. Anyone who steps into the library without permission will be punished by it! In the past, there were some people who went too far into the library, and they were all struck to death by the lightning. They didn't even leave any bones. It was that horrible." The shopkeeper spoke of this with both fear and awe.
