Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 76

After a while, Hansen woke up from his unconscious state compelled by the heat inside his body that made him feel uncomfortable. The heat was turning him claustrophobic. He struggled to tear his clothes off to be able to grab some respite from the heat. His breath quickened as he tried to inhale some cool air.

Outside the cabinet, the aphrodisiac in the room made Felicia wreathe in discomfort. She started to tear her clothes exposing her fair skin. If there was a mirror in the room, she would definitely find that the scars on her body which had disappeared earlier were slowly changing as a result of the effect created by the aphrodisiac. Slowly, the scars started looking like black bugs moving along her skin.

By the time Hansen came out of the cabinet, Felicia's body was set ablaze by the fire of desire. She had completely lost her mind and taken off her clothes except for her underwear. The black marks had spread all over her back by that time. Even Hansen was completely blinded by the heat in his body. All he wanted was to find a way out of this uneasiness. He found Felicia and clung on to her thinking that becoming physically close to someone could help him feel better.

Harper was sitting on the other side of the wall with Zack. The sound from the next room made her feel extremely embarrassed. If she had been alone, she would have certainly commented on their behaviors. However, in the presence of a man that she didn't know much, she was bound to control her tongue. It was awkward for both of them as they were forced to overhear something so private. Cold sweat started appearing on Harper's forehead.

Zack remained composed and graceful. He seemed to notice Harper's awkwardness. After all, the noise in the next room was not at all low.

"Can you play Go?" Zack asked softly. He didn't wait for Harper to reply and walked straight to the board that was placed near the window. It was at a distance where the noise would not be as loud as it was at the place they were sitting right now.

Harper hesitated for a moment before she walked to the window and sat facing Zack. Marking the indecisiveness in Harper, Zack pushed the black stones towards Harper and suggested politely, "If you don't know how to play, I can teach you."

Harper nodded her head. Her face had turned crimson just like the sky before the sunset. Moreover, she had dressed herself up to fool Felicia. Hence, she couldn't look sexier now.

At the same time, in the tea house opposite to them, Matthew was sitting with Lucas, the emperor's eighth son. There was a strange coldness in Mathew's eyes. Lucas looked into his eyes and felt that something was wrong. He asked, "Uncle Matthew, are you all right?"

Mathew kept staring at the teacup intently without uttering a single word. He played his finger around the rim of the cup slowly and carefully so that the tea did not spill over. In a matter of a few moments, the steaming hot tea cooled down.

"Uncle Matthew, are you okay?" Lucas asked again as he marked the heinous intent on Mathew's face. He felt a little regretful for choosing to have a cup of tea with his uncle. The murderous intent that burst out from Matthew's body almost made him breathless.

Matthew's facial expression did not change. With a suppressed menacing look on his face, Mathew seemed to be trying hard to restrain his murderous will. Right at that moment, a drop of tea splashed out and the malicious spirit erupted in an instant. Lucas turned pale with fear. His immediate instinct was to run away, but he did not dare to make a move!
