Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 734

After walking away for some distance, Luther looked back once again with worried eyes. However, he still didn't see anyone suspicious. "Is it true that I'm being over-cautious?"

"General, is something wrong?" the deputy general asked in confusion.

"Nothing. We have to expand patrols in the city. Since the pass has been blocked, some merchants would complain. We will double the patrols from today." Meanwhile, Luther had no clue about where the three carriages of medicinal herbs that Matthew had procured were hiding. He wondered if it had something to do with the aroma of medicinal herbs from their house last night. He doubted that they had decocted those herbs last night and taken it along with them. But since the quantity of herbs was high, it was not easy to transport the decoction!

When Luther was walking, lost in thought, he suddenly saw someone at the door of a pharmacy, grinding the medicinal herbs into powder before packing it. He stopped and wondered, 'Did they grind the materials into powder before taking them away?' But that seemed impossible. There were a lot of such medicinal materials.

"General, what are you thinking about?" The deputy general sensed that something was wrong with Luther since Matthew and others had left.

"Do you have any idea about how to take away three carriages of medicinal herbs without attracting any attention?" Luther shared his concern, his eyes almost popping out.

The deputy general thought for a moment, and then replied, "Of course, you can make them into pills and take them away."

"Pills…" As soon as Luther heard the word, his eyes lit up. Harper was an excellent physician and was good at making various kinds of pills with strange effects. Did she manage to turn all the three carriages of medicinal materials into pills within just an overnight? What was the effect of these pills?

"Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion."

If they wanted to know what effect Harper's pills had, they should know what kind of medicinal materials she had bought. But when Luther went to the pharmacy with his people, he found that the door there was closed and a notice was hung on it, saying that the shopkeeper had some family issues and the shop would remain closed for a month.

Luther squinted his eyes. 'What a coincidence! Her Highness bought three carriages of medicinal herbs. But as soon as she left, the Treasure Pavilion closed for a month. One would only be delusional to believe that there wasn't any trick in it, ' he thought.

"Go find out where the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion is! Catch him and bring him to me!" Luther felt uneasy, so he went back to his mansion to check if there was any residue of medicine left in the house where Harper had stayed. But the room was clean, except for a faint scent of medicine. To his surprise, there wasn't even a tiny piece of residue left.

Matthew and his companions, who were on their way to the South Kingdom, were going through a lot of hardships. They were constantly under attack from various poisonous insects or beasts along the way. No matter what medicines Harper used to drive them away, they kept showing up one after the other. It seemed that in the eyes of the poisonous insects, the humans were delicious food, and they were not afraid of the medicines that Harper used to expel them.

"Your Highness, I think the poisonous insects and snakes in the South Kingdom can recognize human beings. Otherwise, why do they keep chasing us?" At that moment, Jack felt like weeping, but he had no tears. He still hadn't found Francis, and his thirst for revenge was yet to be quenched. He couldn't let himself be eaten by poisonous snakes or bugs.

Harper was also curious. Those poisonous snakes and insects seemed under someone's command, and it looked like he was using the poisonous creatures to deal with them. And no matter how hard they tried to hide, it wasn't working at all. Those creatures always outsmarted them.

She then turned and looked at Matthew. Both of them thought of the same possibility that there were spies in their team. But what was their intention behind sending poisonous insects and snakes after them? Did they want to kill them, or did they want to wear them out, so they could be easily eliminated once they arrived at the capital of the South Kingdom?

But no matter what their actual intentions were, they were no longer fit to stay in the team. After exchanging a look, the couple instantly had an idea. In a sudden move, Matthew reached out to hold Harper's waist and jumped away. They disappeared from the team, but still, Matthew's voice hadn't drifted away. "We will take a step first."
