Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Will she show it to the world?" Lucas asked. He was curious about what Harper would do with the imperial edict as she was someone who never acted according to common principles.

Ignoring his question, Matthew gave him a cold look and asked, "Do you want to go back to the imperial capital? Or are you planning to hide in the procession and go to the Great Jade Kingdom with us?"

"I'd like to hear your opinion first," Lucas replied. He didn't speak out his plan. Under the current situation, the best option for him was to listen to Matthew before deciding.

After a moment's silence, Matthew proposed, "I think you should go back to the imperial capital and cooperate with Harp. She may need your help."

Lucas always knew how much Matthew valued his wife. But he never expected that Matthew would value her this much. This was a critical moment for all of them. Yet, he asked him to go back to the imperial capital just to help Harper. To be honest, Lucas was shocked to see Matthew's devotion to his wife. He sighed, "Your trust for her is absolute."

"If you are not willing to cooperate with her, then don't go back to the imperial capital as you would only create trouble by acting at your own will," Matthew commented.

"Uncle Matthew, don't worry. As long as Aunt Harper orders me, I will obey her without any question. I will follow her orders no matter what they are," Lucas promised as he raised his hand in an oath. "Please be rest assured and don't worry. I'll listen to her obediently!"

The shameless look on Lucas' face made the corners of Matthew's mouth twitch. "Harp is right. Your father had a good eye to choose you as his successor."
