Forensic Imperial Concubine

As soon as Harper returned to her yard, her maid, Nina, rushed to her anxiously. "What happened, My Lady? You went to deliver the baby of General Maxwell's concubine yesterday. Lady Sue had us locked in the house and didn't allow me to go out. Are you all right?"

Seeing the concern in the maid's eyes, Harper let out a weak smile and said, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure, My Lady?" asked Nina. Nina helped Harper enter her room and poured her a cup of warm water. Harper drank some water and started to look better.

Harper looked up at Nina with a wry smile. "Nina, you have suffered a lot."

"Why are you talking like that, My Lady? What's wrong?" Nina held Harper's hand and shuddered. She looked at Harper's face and asked, "Your hand is so cold. Did Lady Sue scold you?"

Harper shook her head. She was grounded by Charles. Sue and her daughter definitely would seize such a good opportunity. After she had lost her position in the Imperial Academy of Medicine and was rejected by Hansen, they would take advantage of her weak moment and try to kill her by all means. At this moment, the only person who could save her was Mavis, her grandmother.

Harper turned towards Nina and gritted her teeth as she wrote something on her palm carefully. Nina was surprised, but she remained silent. She looked at the handwriting carefully and nodded.

"Just go out secretly so that no one sees you. Remember, your attitude must be sincere when you tell her that I am truly wrong." Harper then went into her room and took out a book of Buddhist sutras she had transcribed. She handed it to Nina and said, "And one more thing. Remember to be as quick as possible. I'm afraid I don't have much time left now."

Nina was too frightened to say a word, but she understood the great significance of the task she was asked to complete. After Nina left, Harper called in another maid. "Anabel, did Lady Sue give you some hard time yesterday?" she asked.

"No, My Lady. Lady Sue didn't do anything to make things difficult for us. She just locked the door and didn't allow anyone of us to go out," Anabel answered respectfully. Although Harper was a little dominating, she was never harsh to her maids.

"My father grounded me. We can't go out of this place for a long time." Harper let out a pale smile. "Tell others to be careful and not to provoke them."

"My Lady, why did His Lord ground you?" 'Although His Lord has a preference for Lady Hailey and Lady Felicia, I don't understand why he decided to ground Lady Harper. Lady Harper will be the wife of Prince Kevin's heir in future. It's not wise to offend Prince Kevin, ' Anabel thought to herself.

"Because Hansen has called off our engagement, and I have also lost my position in the Imperial Academy of Medicine," Harper explained with a wry smile. "You'll have a tough time being my maid."

This marriage was proposed and agreed upon even before the two of you were born! My Lady, what should we do now?" Anabel became unsettled to hear that. She knew it very well that it would be difficult

Harper took a deep breath, hoping that she could put up with it and buy some time for Nina
