Forensic Imperial Concubine

Due to the imperial capital's high security, Howard and the rest could not enter. Naturally, they turned to Diana for help. She was the princess of the South Kingdom, after all. She had grown up here, so Howard believed she must be aware of some secret passage to get into the capital.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know what to do now either." Diana shrugged. She had been busy in her time here, spending every day here either practicing martial arts skills or fighting with Catherine. When she wasn't doing that, she would hang out with the men. So she had no time to think about anything else.

"Don't tell me you are a mere figurehead and don't know anything about your kingdom's secret passages," Howard said. In his opinion, there was no way this cunning woman wouldn't have a back-up plan ready.

Diana gave another shrug. "Of course, I am not a figurehead. It's not impossible to break into the city. And we can't just walk in with everyone watching. We must find a way to go unnoticed, otherwise, we'll be found out."

"Do you want to go into the city on your own?" Howard asked in confusion.

Looking at the towering walls, Diana said, "I have to get into the Imperial Palace to confirm that my father is safe. If what my master said is true, that Catherine will kill my father, then he must be in danger. I must check on him."

"What if he's already dead?" Howard asked.

"No! My father is still alive! Don't talk nonsense," Diana stated affirmatively. "Catherine wants to claim the throne. There are only two ways that could happen. The first is for my father to issue an imperial edict claiming that she would succeed to the throne. The second is for her to get the South Kingdom's imperial jade seal. However, the seal is in my hand now. Therefore, her only option is to get an imperial edict out of my father. Until my father writes it, he's safe. But I suspect that she must have tortured him."
