Forensic Imperial Concubine

After giving it some thoughts, Harper accepted the invitation, saying, "Yes, of course. That would be work for me." She, then stood up, calling out, "Fred, let's leave now."

With the sword resting on his shoulder, Fred followed Harper out of the palace. The murderous look on his face remained unchanged. Catherine watched Harper leave the palace and regretted having missed the opportunity to trap her. At the moment, Catherine had to tend to her mother. Her mother had no idea about her misdeeds, though she must be speculating something after what she had witnessed. If her mother knew what she had done, she would surely be very disappointed.

"Mother, I..." Catherine then stammered. She didn't know where to begin with.

"Catherine, bring your sister back to the palace. I am going to pay a visit to your father," the queen said tenderly. She came close to Catherine and flicked her hair behind her ear just like she would cajole a little girl. "You should never forget that we are a family. We must always support each other."

He was very excited to see the queen inside his palace after so many years. "What brings you here?" he asked, trying to smile through his pains.

"It was so noisy outside, that I had to come out of my palace to see what was going on," the queen replied. She then took a seat on the side of Lance's bed. She lifted his hand and began to feel his pulse skillfully to diagnose him. "You're getting old. You are poisoned by the venomous insect poison."

"Yes, you are right. I'm getting old. And you're as beautiful and gentle as before. Time and tide do not wait for me. But it seems to have stopped for you," Lance replied, his voice still sounding weak.

Strangely, they have their lineage still living in this world. I thought it to be a mere coincidence. After all, there are many similar looking people in the world.
