Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 680

Harper quietly watched the fight like a random outsider, and even talked with Forsythia from time to time, commenting on how the fight was going.

"Francis has been sick for many years. I never would have expected that even when he fights, it would be so pleasing to the eye. No wonder everyone keeps saying that he is so handsome." Harper couldn't help but exclaim. It cropped up in her mind that when Matthew fought, he seemed so cruel that she didn't really have the heart to watch. As the sword flashed, the head of the enemy had been cleanly cut off and his blood had been spilled all over the place. In Francis' case, he seemed as ethereal as the wind, winding like a dragon as he fought. At that moment, he was so dashing and handsome.

When she heard Harper's remarks, Forsythia carefully observed Francis' every move. It was indeed beautiful to watch, but Forsythia said with such disdain, "It is just pleasing to the eye, but not practical. In contrast to this, His Highness is really awesome. His martial arts is unbeatable, and no one can possibly hold a candle to him."

Hearing this, Harper pinched Forsythia's cheek. Due to the pain, the latter grimaced. However, the smile on Harper's face suddenly disappeared and she loosened her grip on Forsythia's cheek. "It looks like we're in trouble."

Another group of assassins appeared out of the blue and went straight toward Harper. Obviously, the two groups of assassins were from different parties. One group was trying to kill Francis, while the other was trying to get rid of Harper.

"Stay behind me, Your Highness," Forsythia said, pointing her sword at the assassins as they went all-out, thrusting their swords to hit Harper's vital organs. Although Forsythia was fluent in martial arts, protecting Harper from so many assassins was not an easy task.

"Are the secret guards nearby?" asked Harper slowly.

With that, four men appeared in an instant, surrounding Harper and preventing any assassins from getting close to her. Raising her eyebrows, Harper checked on Francis.

Seeing that another group of assassins were targeting at Harper, Francis was a bit uneasy. But as soon as he saw Harper called out the secret guards, he felt so relieved that he was able to concentrate on dealing with the assassins coming after him.

"Judging from the way they move, they are most likely from the South Kingdom," Harper said as she squinted her eyes. "I see. So, Diana is in the imperial capital."

This left the assassins who were coming for Harper so dumbfounded that they became pale-faced. Then, they all began to attack her even more desperately. Harper quickly took out a signal flare from her arms, pointed it toward the sky, and said, "I think your goal is to take over the Repenting Tower and save Hoffman, but you guys won't succeed!"

Never could've Diana expected that Harper would recognize that the assassins were from the South Kingdom merely by the way they moved. Because of that, her aim was easily exposed. Now that it was clear that she wouldn't be able to go to the Imperial Palace to save Hoffman, she made up her mind to just kill Harper anyway!

Although Francis was caught up in a fight with Diana, he still kept an eye on Harper. He thought that she would be fine, but it seemed that she knew nothing about martial arts at all. Apart from that, as Jason said, she now looked very different from what she used to be in the past!

Then, something totally unexpected happened. Just as everyone was busy trying to fend off the assassins, a hidden weapon appeared out of the blue and came straight toward Harper. In the air, the weapon divided into three parts and looked quite dangerous as they directly targeted Harper's vital parts.

"Your Highness!"

"Harper!"

Harper couldn't help but frown. Of course, she had already figured out the best way to avoid getting hit. Three hidden weapons, vicious as they might seem, were relatively easy to avoid. But, much to her surprise, they further split into nine weapons as they got closer and closer to Harper!

"Nine Consecutive Hidden Weapons!" Harper continued to step back in a hurry. It was nearly impossible for her to avoid the nine hidden weapons, let alone avoid getting hit in her vital parts. Seeing this, all the secret guards stopped fighting with the assassins and rushed to save Harper as fast as they could. By doing so, they exposed their back to the enemy and put their lives at risk, but even then, they only managed to ward off the power of four hidden weapons, while the other five were still charging straight at Harper.
