Forensic Imperial Concubine

Even Howard found this very surprising as well, he knew a bit more than Hailey did. Harper's mother was a descendant of the Qin Clan, and all of its members possessed magic power. From that piece of information, he concluded that Harper must have inherited such magic power from the Qin Clan as well. After all, she had the blood of the Qin Clan flowing through her veins.

When Harper walked past Howard, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that people might find out about your ability if you keep acting so recklessly like this?"

Without stopping, Harper simply replied, "Afraid? Why should I be afraid? There is nothing to be afraid of. Will you tell other people? Will Fred tell other people? Or will the dead tell other people?"

Upon hearing her response, Howard couldn't say anything as he watched Harper walk out. However, the moment she stepped out of that place, someone suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path. When she saw him, Harper respectfully bowed her head and said, "Mister, I'm afraid you're blocking my way."

Harper's words gave Matthew a headache. If he hadn't asked about the situation from his secret guard, he believed that Harper probably wouldn't tell him the truth about what happened today. She had even allowed that fake Harper to sit right next to him. Because of that, he just couldn't take it anymore. "You broke your promise," he said.

"What are you talking about? I don't think I understand," Harper said, feigning ignorance as to what Matthew meant. Matthew, on the other hand, was no patient man, so he didn't want to play along. Pulling her into his arms, he whispered into her ear, "It matters not even if you don't understand. I will teach you a lesson once we go back and while we are lying on the bed!"

Meanwhile, in the Phoenix House, Nina looked at Harper who was busy reading a book by the table. Somehow, she felt that something seemed to be quite amiss. But she just couldn't tell what it was.

"Your Highness, would you like me to help you bathe and change your clothes?" Nina then asked cautiously.

But the strange feeling in her heart kept haunting Nina. That was exactly one of the reasons why she decided to report

Harper in his arms. But due to the fact that Harper was wearing men's clothing as a disguise, Nina didn't recognize her right away. For that reason, she was taken aback when she saw him holding a strange man in his arms and couldn't believe her eyes. It seemed that she was at a bit of a loss because of everything that happened today. On one hand, Harper had been acting weird in the Phoenix House. On the other hand, Matthew was carrying a man in his arms. These
