Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 695 Breaking His Head (Part Two)

Seeing his wound, Harper touched her nose, feeling guilty for what she had done. She ordered, "Forsythia, bring me my medicine kit."

"Yes, Your Highness." Rufus was a frequent visitor to Matthew's mansion, and Forsythia also knew him well. Ever since Harper had been staying in the Sleek Palace, they had always been on alert. When Rufus tried to break in secretly at midnight, they thought it was some random rounder outside, and that was the reason why they had waited behind the door to strike him down. They didn't expect it would be Rufus.

Harper quickly applied some medicine to Rufus' head to stop his bleeding and then bandaged the wound on his head. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect you here. I thought it was some rounder trying to pick up loose women, so I tried to…"

Rufus rubbed his head angrily. It was an unforeseen disaster for him. Even though he understood Harper's situation, he couldn't help but snort at her. "But you should have asked who I am before you struck," he said.

"If it was an enemy outside and if I were to ask, then I would end up exposing myself to danger, right?" Harper said, pouring a cup of tea and handing it to Rufus. "Here, have a cup of tea and it will calm you down. Don't worry, your wound isn't serious, and it will recover soon."

Rufus drank up the tea in one gulp. He shouldn't have explored the Sleep Palace this way. He realized that Howard must have guessed about this hidden threat as well as the possibility that Harper would be on high alert. That would be the reason he dared not come first, but encouraged him to do that. Rufus wondered if Matthew's head had ever been smashed when he courted Harper and broke into her room at night in the first place.

"Have you broken Prince Matthew's head previously while he was trying to enter the Chu Clan mansion at night?" Rufus asked as he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Waving her hand and shaking her head, Harper said, "That's impossible. Matthew has excellent martial arts skills and quick reflexes. Even though I tried launching a sneak attack, I was no match for his talent."
