Forensic Imperial Concubine

"The imperial jade seal in your hands is a fake one, isn't it?" Francis asked in a cold tone as he peered at the imperial jade seal Lucas was holding in his hands.

Lucas then began tossing the imperial jade seal between his hands. "What do you think?" he flatly asked.

Francis screwed his eyes slightly. His intuition was telling him that something seemed quite amiss. Yet, as the arrow was on the bow and poised to strike, he didn't have the time to think too much about it. For as long as Lucas was dead and he himself became the new emperor, Matthew wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

"Lucas, are you aware that you have committed one more crime—forging the imperial jade seal?!" Francis accused him, waving his hand and gesturing for all of the guards to attack Lucas together. At that point, he believed that it wouldn't make a difference even if Lucas was still alive. By doing this, Lucas could be killed and his blood could be used to pay respect to the flag, because it would become a good omen for his enthronement.

The Regal Guards moved one after another and stood with the palace guards. The head as well as the deputy head of the palace guards respectively stood on one side of Francis, awaiting his orders.

It could even be considered humiliating for one to take the throne without stepping on bones."

"As the saying goes, a general achieves renown over the dead bodies of ten thousand soldiers, let alone an emperor," Matthew said, pulling Harper into his arms. "I'm beginning to get bored just watching from here. What do you say we do something to take part in it too?"

replied. Wrapping his arm around Harper's waist, he leaped off from the gate tower and landed on the ground in front of Francis. Francis' face had been completely devoid of color. "I didn't expect that
