Forensic Imperial Concubine

The door of the side hall was closed slowly. The empress released Harper's hand and sat down at the head of the table while a maid served them hot tea. "Harper, I'm sorry to trouble you by bringing you here."

"Your Majesty, it's all right." Harper had the teacup in her hand. She sniffed at it, and there was an odd smell. With a gleam in her eyes, she took a slow sip, and said, "It's my honor to talk with you."

"It's said that you are an intelligent lady. You are indeed very understanding," the empress said with a smile. "Matthew dotes on you. Even in his mansion, you are the one in command. Every lady in the imperial capital admires you."

"Yeah, that's true," Harper said nonchalantly. Then she suddenly rubbed her temples, feeling some discomfort in her head.

The empress kept her eyes fixed on Harper, with an evil gleam in them. Harper looked up at the empress, and felt dizzy. Then she passed into unconsciousness.

Nancy stepped forward to check Harper's condition, and found that she had passed out. She nodded at the empress. "Call her over and get them changed."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A woman emerged from an inner room. She was like a mirror image of Harper, identical to her in both face and figure. Nancy quickly removed Harper's ceremonial outfit and put it on the woman. Then she clothed Harper with the maid-in-waiting's clothes. After they left the side hall, she told another servant to take Harper away.

After the woman put on Harper's ceremonial outfit, she bowed to the empress and said, "Your Majesty."

Her words and gestures were exactly the same as Harper's. The empress nodded with satisfaction and extended her hand to the woman. "Harper, the banquet is to begin. Let's go to the front hall."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The woman came forward to accompany the empress, smiling decently just as Harper did. Every step she took was proper and all of her words were spoken softly. Even the empress could detect no difference from the real Harper whatsoever, as if she were not an imposter.

The moment the door opened, Forsythia hurried up to the false Harper. "Your Highness."

She nodded at Forsythia. "Let's go to the front hall."

Forsythia followed her lady directly behind, leaving Fred in the rear. He was standing there with his head bowed. The false Harper passed him and glanced coldly at him, but without saying a word.
