Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 797

When Harper was trying to sneak into the Royal Palace of the South Kingdom, she, unfortunately, got lost. What was worse, Fred got lost with her as well.

"Don't you know the way to Lance's residence?" Harper turned back to look at Fred, implying that he should know it. After all, it was understandable that she didn't know because she had never been there before.

Fred shook his head. "Your Highness, I've never been to Lance's residence so I don't know the way."

Harper wanted to cry but she didn't have time for tears at that moment. Both of them had no idea how to get to their destination but still, they continued to move forward. She had no choice but to give an order to the secret guards to find Lance's palace.

Fred was rendered speechless because of Harper's command. The secret guards being used to find someone was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Harper might be the only one who would do such a thing.

"This hall is so luxurious. Who lives here?" Harper curiously asked. Most halls in every palace bore the name of the one residing in each. However, the one they came across, looked rather splendid but it didn't have a name. Spending so much effort and resources in a nameless hall seemed unreasonable. So it made Harper very curious.

"We'll know when we get inside."

"That's what I think too."

Harper and Fred finally sneaked into the hall, only to find that it was spotless and no servant in sight. In the middle of the hall, there was even a jade statue to be worshiped. Once they looked closer, the face of the statue astonished both of them!

Fred looked at the jade statue and then at Harper. He looked back and forth between the jade statue and Harper before finally saying with utmost certainty, "Your Highness, since when have you been worshiped here?"

Harper firmly responded, "That isn't me! It looks worn and torn in some parts. It could have only been made more than ten years ago. At that time, I was just a child so this jade statue can't be me."

Fred looked at the jade statue more carefully and said, "Now that you say that, the jade statue actually looks a little different from you. At first glance, it definitely looks like you. But the longer you look at it, the more it doesn't look like you. The statue looks more gentle and compassionate. On the other hand, Your Highness..."

"I have a smile on my face, but my eyes are cold. Am I right?"

Fred didn't answer her, but silently thought to himself, 'You're right. Even when there's a smile on your face, it doesn't reach your indifferent eyes. It instantly makes people freeze to death. You only have a sincere smile when you're in front of His Highness and Zack.'

Patrick folded its arms across its chest and looked at Harper with its small eyes. It was obvious that it wanted to get something out of it. So Harper gave it a pill. Immediately, it grabbed the pill and happily stuffed it into its mouth. With so much contentment, it ate the pill just like a human being.

The corners of Fred's mouth twitched while he looked at Patrick. Was this really a beast? He didn't know how to feel about this fellow which looked like a person actually asking for a reward!

"Come on. You can have an entire bottle when you finish your task."

Upon hearing this, Patrick had so much excitement in its eyes. It turned into a small purple light, barely the size of a thumb. It then immediately sneaked into Lance's bedroom. During the time, Lance had been lying in bed because he was unable to move. There were a lot of guards outside, but only a few people in the inner room were allowed to go inside to take care of him.

Standing on the bedside, Patrick stretched out its paw in front of Lance's nose to find out if the man was still breathing. Just then, Lance sensed something, so he slowly opened his eyes. He then saw a little purple fox with its paw under his nose.

Seeing this, Patrick retreated its claw. With contempt, it turned its butt in front of Lance's face and farted. The stinky smell almost made him throw up. But since there was nothing he could do, he just glared at Patrick.
