Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Inside his mansion, Matthew was looking at the secret guards of the Chu Clan who were then guarding

the Phoenix House. It

was at this moment that Matthew unintentionally caught a glimpse of Fred and Forsythia who had also

been kicked out.

"What happened to Harper?"

Matthew asked. Forsythia turned to him and thought, 'Prince Matthew, you really are a hopeless case.

To an extent, you made

Lady Harper upset. And still, you're asking what happened?!'

With so much hesitation, Fred stated, "Your Highness, I heard that it was you who made Her Highness

upset. More importantly,

she asked me to pass on two words to you."

"What are they?"

Fred responded in a calm tone, "Go die."

The expression on Matthew's face instantly twisted. It didn't make any sense until his mind wandered to

what he had discussed

with Harper when he left. In an instant, he understood what had happened. Harper must have thought

that he didn't like children.

She must've thought that he was so frightened by the news of her pregnancy so he fled. There was no

other explanation of why

she was so furious with him.

"Someone, make some medicine for miscarriage prevention and prepare a plate of sweet-sour plums,"

Matthew ordered at once.

"Yes, Your Highness." After that, Matthew didn't rush to come inside. Instead, he just stood outside the

door and turned to Fred,

making the man a bit worried about his stare. Somehow, Fred had a hunch that something unpleasant

would happen to him.

At that time, Jack had just come back. He put his hand on Barry's shoulder while looking at the closed

gate of the Phoenix

House. With a smile, he said, "Did something happen to Her Highness? Why does it seem like you've

all been kicked out?"

Naturally, Fred's eyes fell on Jack. The expression on his face didn't change. It was uncaring as usual,

but in his eyes was

something different. As Matthew inadvertently noticed the strange look in Fred's eyes, he followed

where he was looking and

found out that it was Jack. At that moment, Jack had his arms roped around Barry's neck and asked,

"Forsythia, why have you

also been kicked out?"

With that, Forsythia quickly walked over to Jack who still had a broad smile on his face. When she was

right in front of him, he looked down at her and asked, "Do you want me to plead for you—" Before he

could finish speaking, a loud and pitiful scream was heard.

Without a word or a warning, Forsythia had given him a punch on the stomach. She then snorted loudly

in front of him and went back to where she had been standing. 'Lady Harper was really upset this time.

And this guy had the audacity to mess around here and took pleasure in other people's misfortunes. He

needed to be taught a lesson!' "Your Highness, here's the medicine and plums," one of the servants

told Matthew. He looked at the medicine and plums before taking them in his hands. Then, he went

straight towards the Phoenix House. However, the moment he got a little close to the door, the two

guards stationed in there tried to stop him. With some quick movements of his hands, the guards were

suddenly unable to move. Matthew had paralyzed them by pressing on their acupuncture points. Now,

with much ease, Matthew continued on his way inside the house. Looking at Matthew's receding figure,

Jack shook his head. "How pitiful it is to see His Highness like this. Can you imagine? He was kicked

out of his own mansion! When you get married in the future, don't choose such a horrible woman.

Otherwise, be careful because you might even sleep outside of your mansion on your own wedding

night." Fred turned to look at Jack, but he didn't pay much attention to what he was saying. Instead, he

continued to stand in silence. After a few short moments, Jack was already feeling bored, so he said,

"Barry, let's get out of here and drink."

"Do you really want His Highness to throw you back into training again?" Barry asked calmly, albeit a

little irritated. He finally

reached out to remove Jack's arm around his neck. After doing so, he said, "You're becoming more and

more impudent as the

days go by. Don't forget that the people who can do whatever she wants in front of His Highness is

inside the Phoenix House,

and you're excluded."

Get more training is fine for me. In this way, I can improve my fighting skills, and I won't get beaten up

by Fred every single time."

Jack threw a glance at Fred. Every time they met, the two men would always have their swords at each

other's throat. And every

single time, Jack would take the first swing by provoking Fred. Unfortunately, Fred was not a good-

tempered man. As long as

Jack provoked him, Fred would always draw his sword and try with every means to slash Jack with it.

"If you don't provoke Fred, will he beat you up?" Barry asked with a snort. Barry didn't know why but for

some reason, Jack had not been in good terms with Fred ever since they were young. Every time Jack

saw Fred, he would provoke him. Naturally, he would get some severe beating while screaming his

heart out. But the next day, he would still stay very close to Fred as if nothing had happened. With his

lips curled up, Jack didn't say anything more. He looked at the Phoenix House with its closed door and

started to wonder what was going on inside.

Holding the medicine in his hands, Matthew went into Harper's room without any more troubles. But the

moment Harper saw him, she immediately became furious. "Who let you in? Go away!"

"Fine. But before I leave, take the medicine." Matthew put down the medicine on the table. Even

though he climbed over the wall

and got inside, he did not spill the medicine even by just a little.

Harper glared at him before turning around and exclaiming, "No, I'm not drinking that."

Matthew took out a pile of paper from his arms, turned two pages, and then seriously said, "The

imperial physician said that

pregnant women must be happy and calm at all times. They cannot be upset, anxious or worried. They

shouldn't exercise

vigorously, or—"

It was at that moment when Harper thought that there was something wrong with what he just said. So

she asked, "What? I can't

even speak?"

Turning over the thick stack of paper, Matthew shook his head and sincerely said, "Of course you can

talk!"

"Well then, go away! I don't want to see you!" Harper was beyond furious at that point. She had so

many things she wanted to

tell him but she only kept it in her mind. 'What kind of person are you? After finding out that I'm

pregnant, you run away like you

just saw a terrifying ghost. And when you came back, instead of hearing some explanation, all I got

from you are rules after rules

that I should follow. I can't do anything except eating and drinking. Besides, I even have to watch my

food intake! I have to eat

this and that, but I can't eat too much. What kind of life are you making out for me?'

Matthew rolled up the paper and put it back in his pocket. "Here, have the medicine so you can keep

our baby safe. Please, it's

good for you, both of you."

"No!" Harper decisively refused once again.

"Harp, come on, let me help you," Matthew calmly said with every fiber of patience that he had.

"You don't like kids, right? So why should I even drink it? I think you should give me a bowl of abortion

medicine instead." Harper

was so mad at him that she spoke harshly without thinking much about her words. Matthew was trying

to be very patient but

when he heard that, the expression on his face quickly changed. It even took him a long time to react.
