Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 731 More Confusions Arise (Part One)

That day, batches of medicinal herbs arrived at the yard where Harper lived. The soldiers guarding the general's mansion were quite taken aback because even though they were in the Birch Pass, the medicinal herbs were very rare for them to see. In addition, the sultry weather in the south domain all year round caused the air to be filled with miasmas. As a result, numerous people died on a daily basis. So when they caught sight of a large number of medicinal herbs being sent to the general's mansion, they were overjoyed at the prospect of that. However, as the true soldiers they were, they didn't show their happiness on the outside. For them, it was possible that Harper knew they were running short of herbs. If that were the case, she was indeed a very caring woman.

However, after a long period of waiting, they didn't get the order from their general to ask them to fetch the medicinal herbs from Harper. The fragrance of the herbs would occasionally spread from Harper's quarters, bringing them both peace and comfort.

"Why is there always smell of herbs coming from the inside?" The guards gathering outside Harper's yard began to discuss with each other.

"Maybe she's making some medicine." One guard made a wild guess.

"Have you ever smelled medicine this good before? You must be kidding. From what I can smell, she's cooking something delicious," another guard responded while sniffing the air around him.

"The only thing you can think about is food. That's exactly the reason you're assuming that it's food."

"Excuse me, food isn't my only expertise. I know a great deal about fighting as well!"

Meanwhile, Luther was on his way back after assembling the team to escort the envoy. When he reached the entrance to Matthew's yard, he noticed that it was surrounded by several guards. With a frown on his face, he asked, "What exactly is going on here?"
