Forensic Imperial Concubine

Although Hailey came back, she only stayed home for three days and then went back to work. After all, she was the only female imperial physician in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Many ladies would ask for her help when they suffered from pain. That was an advantage of being a female physician. Therefore, Hailey was very busy dealing with her work all the time. Harper also kept herself busy. She had been researching about things she could sell. She locked herself inside the room and saw nobody these days. Even Nina and Anabel had no idea what she was doing exactly.

Enya had always been curious. She had tried to break in to see what was going on several times, but she was stopped by Nina every time. They were of the same ranking as maids but only Nina had the maturity to stop Enya from being too nosy. Nina knew that Harper would not want any of them to know what she was concentrating on.

On the other hand, the grievous sores on Felicia's face were finally healed after Hailey treated her face. But there were still marks remaining on her face. Felicia would have to wear a veil when she went out from now on.

"My Lady, Lady Yvonne is here," Anabel told Harper after entering the room.

Harper paused on her research and stretched her tired arms. "Please let her in."

"Greetings, Harper," said Yvonne.

"Don't be so formal, Yvonne. We are sisters, after all. Take a seat," Harper replied. Yvonne looked a bit restless, but Harper understood what she was worried about. So in the meantime, she kept her silence and wouldn't bring it up if that would make Yvonne uncomfortable.

to become Lady Sue's pawn against her enemies. I know Lady Sue may force me to marry into a business family if it will bring her benefits. Or worse, she will force me to marry an old man. I'm still young, Harper! Will you let me be miserable for all my life?" Yvonne wept.

Although she didn't mention who she was referring to, Harper was sure that Yvonne knew who

I won't say anything about it. But I just want to remind you that Lady Sue is a very, well, let's say, capable woman. And you know Felicia is not a simple girl. Both of them are not easy to deal with. You'd better be careful and don't let others find out that you're keeping something. Felicia is going to celebrating her birthday soon. Once she comes of age, her marriage will be around the corner. Before that comes, you'd better plan well for yourself," Harper

everything brought immense pleasure to Harper. Sue and Felicia used to celebrate Harper's misery. It was just fair play and Harper

While talking to Harper, she was so afraid that Harper would declare what she had done. In that case, Sue would certainly make her marry into a random family as soon as possible to cover the scandal.
