Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Even before he could speak, Harper already knew that Miguel was on the premises. However, she didn't want to see him as she
could still remember how he had looked the night before. After all, she was enjoying her breakfast at that moment. So as much
as possible, she didn't want to vomit everything she had just eaten.
"Please come back next time, Prime Minister Miguel. My wife is unwell, so it's not a good time for her to receive any guest,"
Matthew firmly said, resolutely dismissing Miguel.
Of course, Miguel refused to leave so easily. "Prince Matthew, Lady Harper and our emperor are good friends and they have
gone through a lot of difficult and dangerous times together. This time, before I came to the South Kingdom, His Majesty
repeatedly told me to pass on something to Lady Harper in person. Lady Harper, don't you want to see me, even if it's just for His
Majesty's sake?"
Harper was rendered speechless because of the things that Miguel had just said. She couldn't help but wonder what Rolando
might have asked Miguel to give her.
Meanwhile, Matthew only frowned with what Miguel had just informed them. By instinct, he felt that whatever it was that Miguel
was supposed to give Harper, it wouldn't be anything good. However, Rolando had two Heavenly Books in his hands. And if they
wanted to know what had happened to the Qin Clan and the secrets about Harper's body, they needed to have all three
Heavenly Books altogether and get the Sacred Seal.
"Let's see him," Matthew finally said. When Harper didn't utter a word in response and passively looked at him quietly, he felt that
it was safe. So, he gestured the servant to allow Miguel to come in.
As soon as Miguel entered the room, he directly sat next to Harper at the table. He grabbed a stuffed bun and threw it into his
mouth. "I went to bed late last night so I got up very late this morning. I haven't had any breakfast yet."
"Prepare a bowl and a pair of chopsticks for Prime Minister Miguel," Harper ordered right away.

"You are so kind, unlike someone who tried to hurt me as soon as he heard that I was here," Miguel said while subtly peeking at.

Matthew. Although he was still dressed a little provocatively, he was behaving normally right then. Harper almost thought that he
had two personalities, one at night and the other during the day. A maid fetched a bowl and a pair of chopsticks for Miguel. After
being given the utensils, he began eating without hesitation. While still chewing his food, he sighed with utmost contentment. He
then said, "The weather here in the South Kingdom is extremely hot and humid! I could hardly bear it. But this breakfast is really
good. My trip has not been in vain."
When Harper was already full and satisfied, she put down her bowl and chopsticks. She immediately noticed that Miguel ate up
all of the ten stuffed buns on the table, two small dishes of pickles, and two bowls of porridge. She could not help but widen her
eyes in shock as she admired Miguel's appetite. After a while, Miguel finally put down his bowl and chopsticks. In a satisfied
tone, he said, "It is said that beautiful women have the ability to encourage appetite. Looking at you right now, I can believe that
it's true. Today, I had breakfast at the same table with a beauty, so I was able to eat a lot. I'm actually quite surprised by myself."
The corner of Harper's mouth twitched at his words. "What did Rolando ask you to give me?" she asked straight on. When he
heard that, Miguel winked at her and said, "Why don't you try guessing?" Matthew removed his sword from his waist and placed
it on top of the table. If Miguel attempted to fool them, he would not hesitate to stab Miguel furiously.
"I don't want to guess. After all, Rolando is different from you. If I guess correctly, you might change the answer, so no, I'm not
going to do it."
"Beauty, you don't believe me. That hurts me so much," Miguel complained, pretending to be heartbroken. Matthew unsheathed
his sword and placed it on Miguel's shoulder.
Miguel chuckled in embarrassment before saying, "Take it easy. I'll take it right now."
Harper took a cup of tea from Forsythia and had a sip of it gracefully. Then she said, "Prime Minister Miguel, please don't mind
my husband's bad temper. It's very obvious that he has been trying his best to restrain himself. If it was in the past, he would
have killed you by now."

With a calm smile, Miguel pinched Matthew's sword with his fingers and carefully pushed it away from him. It was not until then
that he took out a wad of paper from his pocket and handed it to Harper. "His Majesty is inviting you to visit the Great Jade

Kingdom. The weather is rather pleasant for a trip right now. I'm sure you're going to like it." "I should thank Emperor Rolando for
his invitation—" Harper was about to refuse the invitation, but she swallowed her words upon seeing what was on the paper. In
fact, what Rolando had asked Miguel to give her was a copy of the other Heavenly Book. However, what was on her hands was
not complete. It was only a part of the book.
When he noticed the change in Harper's demeanor, Matthew knew that whatever Miguel had brought to her must be something
related to the Heavenly Book. He could not help but grit his teeth while he thought that Rolando really knew what Harper cared
about the most.
"What happened to Rolando's hand? When he left the imperial capital, he had not fully recovered yet," Harper gently asked after
putting away the copy of the Heavenly Book.
Looking at Harper with so much interest, Miguel responded, "Well, he doesn't have any problem using his hand for daily tasks.
However, he can't use a sword anymore. Since he was very skilled at using a sword before, it's really a pity for him. By the way, I
still remember when Prince Matthew went to the Great Jade Kingdom to escort Lady Lilian the last time, he actually harassed
His Majesty without any mercy by using a sword."
Miguel was trying his best to sow discord between the couple. 'His Majesty disabled his arm just to save you. But your husband
was so shameless that he took advantage of His Majesty's poor health condition and fought him using a sword."
Harper turned to look at Matthew, who looked righteous without any hint of a guilty conscience. Whenever he would hurt other
people, he didn't care if they were disabled or in a good condition. Either way, he would harass them because he believed that
they were asking for it.
"And then?"
"Naturally, your husband defeated His Majesty."
"Is there anything else?" Harper asked. Disappointment was written all over her face.
"Do you want to disable His Majesty's other arm as well?"
"I thought you were upset with my husband because he defeated Rolando. So you took revenge on him by wearing women's
clothes in an attempt to seduce him and even try to turn him gay," Harper said in a serious tone. She felt that with regards to
what Miguel had done last night, her assumption actually made perfect sense!
