Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 963

The moment Matthew came in, he said nothing and left all the things to Harper to handle. The only thing he had done was to ask the servant behind him to hand him a small bag and it turned out to be a bag of smoked plum. He picked one and fed it to Harper and Harper ate it with appetite.

"Please forgive me, Lady Victoria. I love to eat something sour since I am pregnant," Harper explained, seeing the puzzled look on Victoria's face. Harper knew that Victoria was buying more time for Derrick, so she was playing along with her. It was hard to say that who would laugh last.

Victoria was confused. She could tell that Matthew loved their baby very much. In this way, there wasn't much time left for them to find the treasure. They should find out where the secret treasure house was as soon as possible and open it.

"Your Highness, if Harper and your child were in danger at the same time, which one would you choose to protect first?"

Matthew gave Victoria a cold look and said flatly, "Both." He would protect Harper and their baby no matter what happened.

"What if you can only choose one?"

"There is no if. I will protect Harper and whatever Harper wants," Matthew said seriously. "I will guard the baby and the Heavenly Books for Harper as long as she wants them."

Victoria's face darkened. She knew that there was no way to lure them into telling her the truth. She also wondered how Derrick was doing. Had he successfully taken over the Phoenix City and caught Darren? After all, it seemed that Darren was more useful than Daphne.

"So does Prince Matthew agree to open the secret treasure house of the Qin Clan?" asked Victoria tentatively. "The way to keep both Harper and the baby safe is in the treasure house."

"Really?" Matthew pretended to be suddenly enlightened. "Harp, what does she mean by secret treasure house? I've never heard of it."

"I don't know either," Harper replied with a smile. "Lady Victoria, do you know about it?"

"It's about the secret of our Qin Clan..." Victoria replied.

"And their treasure," Harper chimed in. "It's said that there are elixirs of immortality in the secret treasure house of the Qin Clan. Lady Victoria, do you know about it?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Victoria's eyes. She was getting older and older, so she wanted the elixirs very much. But she would never show Harper her true feelings.
