Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 761

At that time, there was still tension in the air. More specifically, Lance was feeling extremely nervous and Diana had a ghastly expression on her face. It was actually her who obtained the Lethal Seven poison. The reason why she didn't use a unique poison from the South Kingdom was she didn't want anyone to suspect anyone from their kingdom. However, Harper just said that she had a witness who could prove that the Lethal Seven was from the South Kingdom. How was that possible?

"Lady Harper, the Lethal Seven is from a poison master, not from the South Kingdom," Diana said in a rush.

"In the past, my husband was poisoned by the Lethal Seven. He captured the poison master, but he didn't have the antidote for it. In a fit of anger, my husband killed him. He also destroyed all of the poisons which the poison master had made, so he didn't make any poisons on the market right now. However, we found out that others had developed a similar poison," Harper replied before turning to Lance. "Your Majesty, do you want to be accused of murdering Prince Kile from the Wonder Kingdom and slandering me, a princess of the Bright Dynasty? Or do you want me to find out the truth? All I'm asking for is access to your library."

Lance was in a very difficult position. Certainly, he didn't want to admit that his kingdom had anything to do with the murder but at the same time, he didn't want Harper to enter the library either. Thus, he was hesitating.

"By the way, I can stop the poison attack for Prince Kile but it's only temporary." What Harper said felt like a bomb to Lance. It settled the decision that he was trying to make. Now he couldn't hesitate anymore because if he did, it meant that he would be the one who killed Kile!

"That's good. As long as you can find out the real murderer, you will be allowed to enter the library!" Lance finally exclaimed.

"Great! I'm happy that you chose that," Harper responded before taking out a small porcelain bottle from her handbag. She then took out a green pill from it and handed it to Kile. "Take it," she briefly said.

Kile didn't hesitate a bit. He just took the pill from Harper and swallowed it in a second. Before another envoy from the Wonder Kingdom could say anything to stop him, the prince commented, "It's sweet."

Harper chuckled while approaching Kile. She then grabbed his right hand which had been poisoned and suddenly drew a dagger to cut his palm. After that, she took out a small bamboo tube and poured out several bugs on his arm. Unconsciously, Kile wanted to shake them off. "If you don't want to die, don't move," Harper warned him.

With that, Kile tried to suppress his impulse to shake his hand and merely watched as the bugs climbed up to his wound and sucked his blood. The bean-sized bugs became about the size of a thumb after they had sucked enough blood. Within a short period of time, the black color on his hand gradually disappeared and returned to its normal color. However, Harper wasn't done with him. She placed several needles on his acupoints and then took the bugs from his arm.

"All right, we've been able to control the poison. Next, let's talk about how this hidden weapon was shot." While looking at Lance, Harper spoke very slowly in a gentle voice. It seemed so full of magic which made people involuntarily wonder how a hidden weapon was shot in that way. They all had the same questions on their minds. 'How was the hidden weapon fired?' and 'Was it really Harper who did it?'

"How was the hidden weapon launched?" Harper posed the question, seemingly capable of reading their minds.
