Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 897 Harmony Palace Is On Fire (Part One)

As night fell, the guards in the Harmony Palace were doubled. After she took a quick glance at the increasing guards, Harper's attention was caught by something in the yard. Forsythia followed suit but had no idea what Harper was looking at. Somehow, it bothered her that Harper's demeanor was still so calm amid everything that was happening. 'Is she... interested in becoming Rolando's empress?' she thought, scandalized.

"Your Highness, I think we have to try and escape," Forsythia whispered, her spirit not waning despite the urgent situation. "If we don't leave now, tomorrow you'll..."

"Forsythia, you have said that a million times," Harper said emotionlessly without even raising her head. "If you really believe that you can go out of there and leave unscathed, then you can have a try."

"But Your Highness, I don't think it's a good idea if we just stay here and do nothing! We have to try and do something!" Forsythia was slowly becoming manic as Matthew still hadn't shown up yet. If Harper attended tomorrow's ceremony and truly became Rolando's empress, things would definitely become bad and out of control!

Suddenly, Harper clapped her hands, a look of satisfaction donning on her face. "Well, it's done," she said, breathing deeply.

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness?" Forsythia asked curiously.

"The array has been set, my dear Forsythia," Harper answered, her eyes glittering. "Matthew should be here now. Let's get in."

This statement did not make any sense to Forsythia. She felt lost and completely confused, but somehow, the statement calmed her nerves. Her master's ways of dealing things were a mystery, but she trusted in them.
