Forensic Imperial Concubine

As ominous light filled the Harmony Palace, the secret guards stationed in the immediate vicinity quickly gathered to report the abnormal phenomenon to Rolando. Rolando was at first alarmed and confused by this development, but he quickly came to the realization that it must have been Harper who caused this. 'She must have already obtained the last Heavenly Book and is now unveiling its deepest secrets. That might be the reason for the appearance of such light!' he thought. And he was right—Harper was the only key that would be able to decode the secrets embedded in the Heavenly Books.

"To the Harmony Palace now," he announced at once. He was craving to know more.

Meanwhile, in the Harmony Palace, Harper was already under a magical state of consciousness. Every character that could be found in the Heavenly Book had turned into what seemed like small people, and they flew and danced joyously in the air before they rushed into her body. Soon, she began the ritual—she closed her eyes and chanted as her hand performed the chant's accompanying choreography. Unfortunately, it turned out that the Heavenly Books of the Qin Clan did not record any method that one could do to achieve immortally—they merely recorded the cultivation methods of the Qin Clan.

When Rolando arrived, he found himself unable to enter Harper's room no matter what he did. It was as if there was an invisible wall along its perimeters, preventing any outsider from entering.

"What's going on?" Rolando asked in a panicked tone as he stretched his hands out to feel what was hindering him from even touching the door. When he felt and confirmed that indeed, there was an invisible barrier that was surrounding the room where Harper was, he began to strike it, hoping to break it down. His first strike, however, made it clear that it would be impossible for him to do that: his knuckle just bounced off of the unseen force field. 'Is this because of the Heavenly Books? What kind of powerful secret was it keeping hidden?' he thought.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we would be able to enter Princess Harper's room no matter what we do," Fernando said helplessly.
