Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Lady Harper, what poison is it?" Derrick, who until then was keeping silent, suddenly asked.

Harper looked at Derrick, her eyes deep and undecipherable. Even though she couldn't bear to tell him the truth, she had to. "Darren was drugged by the Spiritual Poison, and... I still haven't worked out an antidote yet."

Harper knew that the man in black she hurt a while back must have known her relationship with Darren. Because of that, he injured Darren to get an antidote out of her. But Harper didn't expect that the man would have hurt Darren so much that he almost died!

"I'm the only one I know who has the Spiritual Poison. There's no antidote, because I haven't made one," Harper explained as she took a deep breath.

Hopelessness grasped Daphne immediately, and she was trembling and staggering backward as she couldn't believe what she just heard. "Harper, do you mean that Darren... will die?"

Harper didn't respond or even look at Daphne. Instead, she just looked at Darren. Although his lips hadn't turned darker purple, she knew that he still hadn't been detoxified. And if she wanted to detoxify him, she must develop an antidote first. She was the only person who could do that.
