Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 907

Toby dispatched a number of his soldiers to keep a close eye on the Dragon Pass. In order to avoid being exposed, he specifically told them to camp at a far distance. Unfortunately, the soldiers stayed so far back that they couldn't see clearly what Shawn and his people were doing outside the city gates. Because of that, they thought they were simply cleaning up the battlefield.

"Your Highness, at dawn, Shawn brought some soldiers to the battlefield to clean it up. They threw all the corpses and amputated limbs into a pit and buried them there," reported one soldier as soon as he came back.

"Hypocrite. If he hates to see such a scene, why would he use a weapon so destructive in the first place?" Toby scoffed.

"Your Highness, shall we advance toward the enemy lines?" the general leading the army asked.

"Move ahead. We must find out today what the hell Shawn is doing!"

Harper and Matthew were still trying to escape the Great Jade Kingdom, and in the process, attempting to eliminate the killers that were sent after them. They seemed to be not able to shake them off, and soon, Harper understood why: she must be the reason why they kept finding them out. With that, a grim expression graced her face.

"Harp, Rolando said you were poisoned. Is that true?" It was a question that was eating Matthew up from the inside. However, Harper looked unharmed, so he was beginning to doubt what Rolando had told him.

"I wasn't poisoned. I was drugged with poisonous insects. He put it on the Heavenly Book, to be sure that I get it to my system. But it's not a big deal, Matthew. I used my spiritual power to seal it up. The unfortunate thing is, there's no way for me to remove it," Harper explained, pointing at her elixir field.

Matthew's face became grim. "Rolando also told me that if you go too far away from him, your life would be in danger."

"And you believed him? At this point in time, Rolando might be coming up to the Dragon Pass. If what he said was true, the poison would have already worked and I would have died by now. But I'm still alive, aren't I?" Harper asked with a smile.

"Are you sure you're okay, Harp?" Matthew asked, sounding extremely concerned.

"I'm all right, Matthew. You don't have to worry. I just don't know how to get rid of this Deathly Kalpa inside of me but my life isn't threatened. Believe me." Harper held Patrick in her arms. "Anyway, as I said, Rolando is already on his way to the Dragon Pass. Even though I have prepared something for Shawn in advance, I'm afraid it won't last too long. Because of that, we need to get separated here. You'll go to the Dragon Pass, and I'll go meet Kile."

"No way." Matthew wouldn't let Harper travel alone no matter what. "Kile is a rascal. If you go to see him alone, I'm afraid he may hurt you!" he rejected at once.

"Matthew, not everyone in the world is Rolando," Harper responded calmly.

"Harper, even without Rolando, there is still Francis hidden in the dark."

Harper sighed helplessly. "Without Becky, Francis can't do anything to me. Besides, I'm not alone. I have bodyguards with me."

"Well, if that's the case, let's get on with your plan. After I deal with Rolando, I'll go to the Wonder Kingdom to find you." With Howard around, any man who wanted to flirt with Harper would give it a second thought.

Harper didn't expect Matthew to change his mind so quickly, but she didn't want to inquire further. "I'll meet you in the Dragon Pass after I get the Sacred Seal."

"Take care."

Harper nodded her head and turned away. Before she went on her way, she turned around and said, "Felton is already at the Dragon Pass. If you need anything, just go find him. I believe he can help you."

Immediately, the image of the sickly man filled Matthew's head. Felton was in such a bad shape that anyone wouldn't be able to help himself but feel sorry for him. Despite that, he knew better than to underestimate him and his skills.

"I understand. The twelve secret guards will keep protecting you. I'll also ask Fred to go with you."

"You won't have people to protect you if you do that."

"I still have three guys with me. I just... couldn't feel secure leaving you with the twelve secret guards. I need someone competent to accompany you," Matthew said casually. Zorro, once again, elected to remain silent. If the prince thought that, he couldn't argue back.
