Forensic Imperial Concubine

The reason why Francis told Harper what happened to Felton was because he wanted to see how she was going to react to it. Back then, she had made a move without any hesitation because of what he himself had done. What would she do if it were someone from the Qin Clan? To be more specific, when it came to this case, he was curious about whether or not Harper would be as cold and ruthless as she was before.

After Francis left, Harper didn't make any moves or take any immediate action. She and Matthew just kept living their normal lives, eating, sleeping and being happy all around, as if the dealings concerning the Qin Clan had nothing to do with her.

Harper only smiled as she took the documents and leafed through them one by one. During this process, Darren noticed that a man was standing by the window—Matthew. He started to study him. It had been rumored that he was a merciless and bloodthirsty man, but from what he was sensing, the man was abnormally calm and peaceful.

"I've heard that Your Highness is a bloodsucking monster. Now that I've met you in person, I don't think that's true," Darren suddenly admitted. "Well, at least, I don't feel any murderous intent from you right now," he added.

"I'm not a lunatic that would kill without reasons," returned Matthew, his facial expression unchanging.
