Forensic Imperial Concubine

"That's it. I can't go back to the imperial capital with you for the time being. Wendy is recuperating in the south region right now. I'm going there to pick her up and take her back to the imperial capital. Please go ahead and proceed to the capital without me so you can have time to prepare. As soon as we arrive in the imperial capital, we'll come to you for the treatment," Shawn said while he stood up, preparing right then to go out.

"There is no need to hurry—"

"Wendy doesn't have much time left, so if you said that there's a chance that we can extend her life, I don't think I can wait. Thank you, Your Highness," Shawn said to Harper with a gentle smile.

After that, he jumped off the carriage, mounted his horse, and left the envoy team with his deputy general in a few heartbeats. They headed for the south as fast as they could. Harper lifted the curtain and looked at the direction that they went to. With gentle eyes, she watched Shawn's receding figure until she couldn't see him anymore. "Darling, it seems like Marquis Shawn is getting more and more decisive," she said.

"He's always been decisive. You just didn't know it until now," Matthew said while he put down the curtain. What Shawn said was true. There wasn't much time left for Wendy. If she could maintain a calm and peaceful state of mind, she could certainly live a few more years. Unfortunately, it seemed like everybody in the Shen Clan had already given up on her. They even sent her to the south to recuperate in hopes that she could live for a few more years in there.

"Why do I always feel like you know some secrets that you don't tell me? Do you want this Wendy to be a member of your mansion?" Harper asked with a smile.

"Why not? After all, none of my personal guards are married yet. Speaking of which, when are you going to let Nina get married to Barry? This boy has been eagerly waiting for so long. He's too shy to ask you about it. As the hostess of my mansion, you can't ignore his wish," Matthew plainly said.
