Forensic Imperial Concubine

Victoria found herself pinned on a chair, the person pinning her down none other than her own daughter-in-law, Beth, who had been nothing but obedient to her until that moment.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Victoria snapped, her eyes wide. "Beth, are you really planning on betraying me and our clan?"

Beth let out a loud, mocking laugh. "Mother, lest you forget: you are just a concubine! You are not the legal leader of this clan!"

Victoria's face was immediately drained of color. The thing she hated the most was when people referred to her as a concubine. For years, she had worked hard to erase that part of her life so that she could be seen and revered as the leader of their clan!

"What do you want, Harper?!"

"Your Highness, we have found her."

Harper nodded in acknowledgement. Finally, she heard some good news—Daphne had been found. Now, the main thing they had to deal with was Derrick. Being the lord of the city, he still had a significant control over the place, so it was hard to know how many spies were working for him.

Aside from that, he could not jeopardize their plan that was already in full swing: he had already destroyed all the secret footholds of the Qin Clan in and around Phoenix City, and as for the mansion of the Qin Clan, with Harper there, Victoria would not be able to make any kind of move against

of such danger. One by one he fought each and every one of Derrick's soldiers,

towards Darren, his sword in his hand. He was the one who trained his son, so he should be the one to end the fight.

General Joshua, when will you go down there to help our young lord?" Quincey asked as he stared at Joshua and gnashed his teeth. The man said he was coming to help Darren, but it seemed like he was contented on watching the brewing showdown from
