Forensic Imperial Concubine

In a private room inside the teahouse, a man had already been waiting for Luther. "How is everything going in the city?" Luther asked.

"Everything is fine," the man replied.

"Where did Prince Matthew and his wife go today?" Luther asked specifically.

"They had been to the morning market and then the Treasure Pavilion. I am not sure what they bought from there."

"The Treasure Pavilion?" Luther frowned. He knew well about the Treasure Pavilion, as it was notorious for selling fake, shoddy and defective goods in the Birch Pass. The Treasure Pavilion had cheated many people. Yet, the pavilion was very careful in their dealings and they hardly left any evidence against them. So Luther allowed them to keep running their business.

"Prince Matthew didn't lift the roof of the Treasure Pavilion?" Luther asked curiously. The pavilion was notorious. So he assumed that if the pavilion dared to cheat Matthew and his wife, the consequences would be serious.

"Not yet. Princess Harper seemed happy when she came out of the pavilion. She carried a box with her, and asked the shopkeeper of the pavilion to send all the things she procured to your mansion," the man answered cautiously. "General, but why are you keeping watch on Prince Matthew?"

"Prince Matthew and his wife are our honorable guests. The Birch Pass is in the south domain. What if there is a lawless intruder in the city? And what if he hurts them in the city under our watch? My intention is not to spy on them. I'm sending you to protect them secretly. If anything happens, I can be there to rescue them in time," Luther said slowly as he took a sip of tea.
