Forensic Imperial Concubine

Finally, Harper was able to see clearly the man in front of her. He was not her husband Matthew, but Rolando who looked so pale and furious. He was holding her arms and walking towards a remote palace.

"Rolando," Harper called out weakly in a hoarse voice.

"Are you awake?" Lowering his head, Rolando carefully stared at Harper and added, "Don't worry. I'll take care of you. You'll be fine."

The temperate of Harper's body increased more and more. Even though she had just sobered up, she understood right away why her body was unusually hot. Coupled with the fact that their clothes were disheveled, she knew what had happened at once, although she had been poisoned.

"Where are we going?" Harper forced herself to put some distance between her and Rolando's arms. At that moment, he was a great temptation for her and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to restrain herself if she kept being this close in his arms.

"We're going to the freezing Ice Pool. It's the palace that can contain the Fire Toxin in your body. Hang in there; we're almost there," Rolando quickly replied.

Soon enough, they arrived at the pool. Rolando kicked open the door of the palace and took Harper into a secret chamber where the pool was located. As soon as they dipped into the pool, Harper felt a piercing chill seep through her body, which actually helped in regaining some of her strength.

Rolando still held onto Harper and stepped into the pool without hesitation. The piercing cold almost made Harper cry out. She shivered tremendously, unable to bear the cold. Fortunately, the blazing heat in her body was gradually subsiding.

Rolando held Harper by the waist and made her stand on the edge of the pool. "Put me down. I can stand by myself," Harper said after a short while.
