Forensic Imperial Concubine

Without a bit of a change in the expression on her face, she continued to walk forward. Lucas didn't linger beside her either. He then went on to greet his friends. Harper took one last look at Lucas before immediately shifting her eyes. Just then, he reminded her to be careful with the empress.

Although Harper knew the empress would take her chances and make trouble for her and Matthew, she hadn't expected that Lucas would tell her that. At that very moment, her entire being was suddenly wary and alert. If the empress was planning to do something, it wouldn't be that obvious and simple.

Meanwhile, Francis was sitting in his carriage and idly molding a sugar figurine. He had been interested in molding the figurines ever since he went to the temple fair. Now, he could already make them that looked like real people. As a gust of wind blew the curtain, Francis raised his head and saw a familiar person walking past his carriage. In a second, he completely lifted up the curtain.

"Aunt Harper."

Still lost in her thoughts, Harper didn't hear when Francis called her for the first time. As soon as he noticed that Harper didn't stop walking, he quickly jumped off the carriage and chased after her. Owen hastily ran after him. Carrying his cloak, the servant called out, "Your Highness, your cloak, your cloak."

"Aunt Harper," Francis called her again while running behind her. Finally, Harper stopped walking and turned around. Fred and Forsythia stood aside to give way. But Francis was running so fast that he almost bumped into Harper. Fred stretched his hand in an attempt to stop Francis. To his surprise, however, Francis managed to stabilize himself before actually knocking into his aunt. The only problem was that he stopped when he was only inches away from her. His face was almost touching Harper's.

He hastily stepped back and felt embarrassed. He did not know what to say, so he looked everywhere else except on Harper's face. Then, the sugar figurine in his hand caught his attention, so he immediately held it up and said, "Aunt Harper, look! I'm better at making sugar figurines now."

When Harper saw the vivid sugar figurine in his hand, the corners of her mouth raised into a small smile. She took the figurine from his hand and bit its head. While chewing the sugar bit, she said, "It not only looks good, but also tastes good."

Due to Harper's praise, a wide smile bloomed on Francis's face. He then walked towards the palace gate side by side with his aunt. Forsythia deliberately looked at Fred, as if she was trying to tell him something with her eyes. However, Fred only looked puzzled and had no idea what Forsythia meant.
