Forensic Imperial Concubine

Toby dispatched a number of his soldiers to keep a close eye on the Dragon Pass. In order to avoid being exposed, he specifically told them to camp at a far distance. Unfortunately, the soldiers stayed so far back that they couldn't see clearly what Shawn and his people were doing outside the city gates. Because of that, they thought they were simply cleaning up the battlefield.

"Your Highness, at dawn, Shawn brought some soldiers to the battlefield to clean it up. They threw all the corpses and amputated limbs into a pit and buried them there," reported one soldier as soon as he came back.

"Hypocrite. If he hates to see such a scene, why would he use a weapon so destructive in the first place?" Toby scoffed.

"Your Highness, shall we advance toward the enemy lines?" the general leading the army asked.

"Move ahead. We must find out today what the hell Shawn is doing!"

Harper and Matthew were still trying to escape the Great Jade Kingdom, and in the process, attempting to eliminate the killers that were sent after them. They seemed to be not able to shake them off, and soon, Harper understood why: she must be the reason why they kept finding them out. With that, a grim expression graced her face.

"Harp, Rolando said you were poisoned. Is that true?" It was a question that was eating Matthew up from the inside. However, Harper looked unharmed, so he was beginning to doubt what Rolando had told him.

"I wasn't poisoned. I was drugged with poisonous insects. He put it on the Heavenly Book, to be sure that I get it to my system. But it's not a big deal, Matthew. I used my spiritual power to seal it up. The unfortunate thing is, there's no way for me to remove it," Harper explained, pointing at her elixir field.

Matthew's face became grim. "Rolando also told me that if you go too far away from him, your life would be in danger."
