Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 656 The Sleeping Beauty (Part One)

After looking after Francis for an entire day, Harper started feeling a bit sleepy. She ended up falling asleep by the bed. A few minutes after Harper dozed off, Francis woke up and opened his eyes. It seemed that he knew Harper by his side all the time, but he gently turned to her and watched her sleeping. All of a sudden, he hit her sleeping acupoint.

"Only when you're asleep, will you let your guard down," he whispered under his breath. He then sat up and looked at Harper's sleeping face. Even he himself had no idea why he would do something like this.

A gentle smile crept onto Francis' pale face as he stared at Harper's pretty face. Unable to resist the urge, he gently caressed her face, then moved her into the bed. As he held her in his arms, he felt a sense of contentment and fell asleep again.

Fred had been waiting outside the whole time. Now that it was already getting late, he thought that it was about time for him to escort Harper back to Prince Matthew's mansion. After all, she could just come to visit Francis again tomorrow. However, he never would have expected that he would be attacked in Prince Francis' mansion. Someone released a poisonous gas. It was so sudden that he didn't even have much time to react. At that moment, he wanted to set off a flare to send out a message asking for help, but someone seemed to have guessed what he was planning to do and managed to quickly stop him. In the end, Fred lost consciousness and fell to the ground without being able to do anything.

Checking on Fred who had lost consciousness, Owen wiped off the beads of cold sweat on his forehead. If Fred had managed to set off the flare successfully, Francis would definitely punish him for screwing up his plan. With that, he immediately ordered someone to carry Fred away. He sighed, "I can't allow you to ruin my master's plan."

Matthew was currently in the army, busy dealing with the military affairs. There were fierce fights taking place in the Great Jade Kingdom. In order to prevent another country from swooping in while they were fighting, the Great Jade Kingdom had deployed troops to the border in case of an external enemy invasion. But as far as Matthew was concerned, Rolando should have already taken control of the whole situation in his country by now, so sending out troops to the border might be for a completely different matter.
