Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 188 Harper's Intentions (Part One)

Within days, the news spread far and wide about how the emperor sanctioned the marriage between Harper and Matthew. Everyone had different reactions, but the most worried would have to be the Bu Clan.

At that time, Isabella was pacing back and forth in the room. The anxiety was so apparent on her face. Meanwhile, Franklin's temples had started to ache, and so did Caroline's.

"Father, Prince Matthew's fiancees all died before they could get married to him. With this, I can't help but feel afraid that Harper might die in her boots too." Caroline openly surmised her worries.

"If that's the case, it's honestly not the worst thing that could happen to Harper," Zack responded with a bitter smile on his face.

"Zack, what do you mean by that?" Caroline asked in confusion.

Franklin and Zack looked at each other and as if on cue, the father and son shared tacit understanding. Charles was loyal to the emperor. The emperor wanted Harper to marry Matthew so that she would be able to spy on him. If she was tasked to assassinate Matthew and failed to do so, then her life would be a living hell.

"Father, is there anything we can do to save her?" Zack expectantly asked. He just found out that he actually liked Harper more than as a friend. He didn't expect that the emperor would promptly set up a marriage between Harper and Matthew.

Franklin shook his head. Matthew was a thorn in the flesh of the emperor. Harper was the only woman who was somehow related to him and was still alive. Everything would have been fine if the emperor hadn't thought of this fact. However, now that the emperor had figured it out, she might really meet the end of her life.
