Forensic Imperial Concubine

With an innocent smile on her face, Harper said, "I've been poisoned? When did it happen? I didn't even realize it."

"I smeared poison on the empress' robe I gave you yesterday," Francis said as he looked at Harper, feeling quite sorry for her in his heart. "I knew Uncle Matthew would surely show up today, so I came up with such a plan just in case."

Matthew didn't utter a single word and simply stared at Harper. Harper then took a step toward Francis and asked him, "What do you want?"

could finish his sentence, the clear sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh suddenly came through. Then, Francis lowered his head to have a look in utter disbelief. With a faint smile on her face, Harper looked at the grief-stricken Francis. Without so much as a hint of mercy, she pushed the dagger deeper into his body.
