Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 801

After coming out of the South Kingdom's palace, Harper went to the inn straightaway. Meanwhile, Matthew was almost at the end of his wits. Just when he was about to go out and find Harper, he saw her while she was on the way back. With huge steps, he immediately approached her.

"You're back."

"Well, we're back, but—" Harper looked up at the man behind her before continuing, "It seems like Fred needs some more time before he goes back to normal."

Matthew was a little surprised at that. "Did he get out of control?"

"Yes, but he still has a reasonable mind while he's in that state. For a while, he just couldn't control the raging power in his body. He's very irritable as well. Fortunately, he's still sensible enough not to kill everyone at will. So I used some medicine to keep him in this state. If he can't control himself again, I'll try another way to deal with him." Harper watched Matthew's reaction. When he didn't say anything, she blinked at him and said, "Don't pity him, darling."

"I love you and I'm just afraid that you'll get tired. As for this guy, I don't care about him at all." In fact, Matthew didn't have a bit of sympathy for Fred. On the contrary, he was worried that dealing with Fred would be exhaustive for Harper. If it were up to him, Matthew would want Harper to just leave the guy alone. Whether he was out of his mind or would become violent, Matthew didn't care because he had plenty of methods to deal with him.

Upon hearing this, Fred felt aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. Even though he had used every bit of his strength to go back to normal, he just couldn't do it. However, he was determined to control his power as soon as possible. He wanted to surprise Harper and let her know how competent he was.

"What happened in the South Kingdom?"

A hint of delight was seen in Harper's eyes. "Well, there's an unexpected person who just appeared and it seems like, she might be the key."

Matthew slowly asked, "You mean, the queen of the South Kingdom? She's a legend. Lance, the king of the South Kingdom only has two daughters and both of them have the same mother. The other consorts of the king weren't even able to get pregnant. Even though she's been living in a secluded life for so many years, Lance still loves her. She must be a remarkable person."

"Indeed, if I ignore you for ten years and won't allow you to see me, I'm afraid you're—"

"I would have demolished your bedroom in a day! How can I let you live inside your room for ten years?" Without hesitation, Matthew interrupted her with the utmost conviction.

Harper smiled at that. "Don't worry. I'm not even the kind of person who could stay in her room for ten years."

"I know. If you can do that, I wouldn't believe that it's really you."

With an even wider smile on her face, Harper was in such a good mood because of what Matthew said. She then stated, "It seems like we can go back to the Bright Dynasty soon. I wonder if we can arrive before Caroline gives birth. Now that the new emperor has ascended to the throne, Zack is going to take a lot of responsibilities."

"Don't worry. A person more capable shoulders more responsibility. I believe that he could do it well." Matthew thought that it would be best if Zack was too tired to come and see Harper. After all, he was kind of protective with his beloved wife.
