Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chodak left chicly and resolutely without turning back or hesitating. He was as swift as a breeze blowing across the lake, raising a layer of ripples, and then in the next moment, peace was resumed and he was gone without even a trace.

Bored to death, Harper leafed through the Buddhist scripture. "Matthew, Chodak…" she mumbled.

"Chodak doesn't exist anymore. He died by the side of the lake. From now on, the person who is alive will be Rolando, the crown prince of the Great Jade Kingdom," Matthew said while dealing with the letters he had received. "The emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom is terminally ill. Being the crown prince, he can't stay here any longer."

"Even though his father is terminally ill, he is only a deposed crown prince…" Harper paused for a while as something came to her mind all of a sudden. "Why on earth was he deprived of the title of the crown prince in the first place?"

"One reason was that he enjoyed high prestige, making his father view him as a threat; another reason was that he wanted to look for the Heavenly Books," Matthew sneered. "He is decisive and always maintains a low profile. To avoid suspicion, he even shaved his head and became a monk. Nobody would look for a former crown prince among monks."

"So, you know all the things about him," Harper said casually. "Although I am not sure why you had let him stay in the Bright Dynasty, I'm quite sure that you must have struck a deal with him."

"Yes, you're right. I was poisoned once, and he was the one who saved my life with a pill. So, I provided him with a shelter in return." Matthew explained the reason. For him, it was not a bad deal to exchange a shelter for his life.

Suddenly, someone knocked at the door and called out, "Your Highness."
