Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 793

Due to the imperial capital's high security, Howard and the rest could not enter. Naturally, they turned to Diana for help. She was the princess of the South Kingdom, after all. She had grown up here, so Howard believed she must be aware of some secret passage to get into the capital.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know what to do now either." Diana shrugged. She had been busy in her time here, spending every day here either practicing martial arts skills or fighting with Catherine. When she wasn't doing that, she would hang out with the men. So she had no time to think about anything else.

"Don't tell me you are a mere figurehead and don't know anything about your kingdom's secret passages," Howard said. In his opinion, there was no way this cunning woman wouldn't have a back-up plan ready.

Diana gave another shrug. "Of course, I am not a figurehead. It's not impossible to break into the city. And we can't just walk in with everyone watching. We must find a way to go unnoticed, otherwise, we'll be found out."

"Do you want to go into the city on your own?" Howard asked in confusion.

Looking at the towering walls, Diana said, "I have to get into the Imperial Palace to confirm that my father is safe. If what my master said is true, that Catherine will kill my father, then he must be in danger. I must check on him."

"What if he's already dead?" Howard asked.

"No! My father is still alive! Don't talk nonsense," Diana stated affirmatively. "Catherine wants to claim the throne. There are only two ways that could happen. The first is for my father to issue an imperial edict claiming that she would succeed to the throne. The second is for her to get the South Kingdom's imperial jade seal. However, the seal is in my hand now. Therefore, her only option is to get an imperial edict out of my father. Until my father writes it, he's safe. But I suspect that she must have tortured him."

Upon hearing that, Howard frowned and said, "I won't let you go in there alone. Harper asked me to keep an eye on you."

Diana glared at Howard impatiently, saying, "Well, do whatever pleases you. If you want to follow me, just follow."

The Imperial Palace was not that heavily guarded. That was probably due to Catherine believing that both Harper and Diana had already died. Those who entered the Labyrinth Swamp didn't have the slightest chance of living.

After Diana successfully made her way into the palace, she was relieved to find the guards so lax. "The guards are slacking. That's in our favor."

"Maybe it never occurred to Catherine that you could survive. She would have had the entire palace under lockdown if she had suspected for a second that you were alive. It would have been so heavily guarded that even a fly would not have been able to get in," Howard sneered, "So you should thank Harper for getting you out of the Labyrinth Swamp alive!"

Diana, however, merely glanced at him with contempt. "Shut up. Harper, Harper, Harper! Please, don't talk like you're close! She is my master now. Oh, one more thing, you are not even her biological brother. Why are you acting so proud?"
