Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 696 The Chief Culprit (Part One)

After driving Rufus away, Harper went to bed straight away. The entire Sleek Palace was extremely peaceful, but Rufus got into big trouble once he got out.

As soon as he stepped foot outside the Sleek Palace, the secret guards hiding in the dark took action to capture him. Using his agile flying skills, he tried to fend them all off.
