By the time Josef returned to the Tranquil Hall to report to the emperor, Jason had already left.
"Your Majesty, the former empress has gone," Josef informed the emperor euphemistically. Hearing this, the emperor closed his
eyes and let out a long sigh. After being married to the emperor all these years, the empress met such a cruel fate. Although she
deserved it, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"Your Majesty," Andy carefully called out.
"I'm okay. How is Francis doing?"
"Prince Francis is taking a good rest in his mansion. Since his body is frail, I'm afraid it's going to take quite a while for him to
recover. Fortunately, Prince Jason is back and can lend his help. Please do not worry yourself too much, Your Majesty," Andy
comforted the emperor with a pleasant smile. "Your Majesty, with Prince Jason around, you seem to be in high spirits lately."
"Is Lucas back?"
"Prince Lucas has gone to help with the disaster relief. He has yet to come back," Andy cautiously replied. "Prince Lucas enjoys
roaming around. The former crown prince was the one who sent him to help with the disaster relief. I wonder if he..."
"He is my son; I know he'll be able to handle this trivial thing well," the emperor interrupted Andy. 'Lucas, it's good for you to
leave the imperial capital. Everything's in a mess here and even the palace isn't at peace. This won't be a good time for you to
return, ' the emperor thought. Then, he ordered, "Well, you may now take your leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With Andy gone, the emperor was now all by himself in the hall. He kept silent for a long time. The entire hall was so quiet that

he couldn't even hear the sound of his breath. It wasn't until nightfall that a voice came out from the hall. "Someone, go to invite
Matthew into the palace." "Right away, Your Majesty." A guest came to a remote yard in the imperial capital. Felton was in the
middle of taking his medicine when he heard his steward, Mathias, came to report to him, "Young master, a guest is here to pay
you a visit." "Please send the guest in."

After placing the bowl of medicine down at the table, Felton said to the figure who came in, "It's late in the evening. Aren't you
afraid that he might get jealous if he found out what you're doing?" Hearing this, the figure proceeded to take off its cloak,
revealing its elegant and beautiful face. It was Harper. "His Majesty has called him into the palace, so I came here to see you. By
the way, I want to ask what you said to him that day." "I only told him what I was supposed to say." Upon saying that, Felton
picked up the bowl and continued to take the medicine. "Although I'm not in good health, I can still rely on the medicine to make
sure that I survive. You're different from me. Or, do you perhaps want to lose your life?" With her eyes growing darker, Harper
said, "Didn't you say that we should comply with the destiny?" "But wasn't it you who said that you have a say in your own fate?!"
Felton put the medicine bowl down on the table with a loud
thud. "Are you trying to say that you gave up in fighting against fate?"
Harper smiled, "Felton, you don't have to be mad at me. I only said that casually. I'm the one in charge of my life. Anyway, the
fate of the Qin Clan should be broken."
Letting out a long sigh of relief, Felton said, "Do you know that it almost scared the living daylights out of me when I heard that
you were pregnant?"
"Someone was plotting against me. Whenever I was with him, I always made sure to use contraceptives. How could I be
pregnant? At first, I had thought it was due to a mistake of my contraceptive measures. But I found out later that I had actually

been poisoned by the Terminalia Chebula." Harper sighed. "Getting the medicine like Terminalia Chebula is not an easy task. So,
now I am also very curious about who is behind all this. At first, I thought it was Francis who did it, but I later found out that it
wasn't him." "If it's not him, then who is it? Jason?" "Although Jason isn't that smart, he can't be so cruel to me. Whoever it is,
that person must know things about the Qin Clan,
know what Matthew is thinking, and probably even know everything else about us quite well. That being said, those who know us
well and are capable of working for us are very limited. There are only a handful of them." Harper thought that the whole thing
was such a big headache. "Felton, I asked you to come to the imperial capital this time for two reasons. The first is for your

health, and the second is to find the person hiding behind the scenes. Once the people of the Qin Clan reveal themselves, both
the royal family and the people lurking in the shadows will begin to take action."
"Harper, you and Prince Matthew..."
"I can find ways to keep myself safe. But it's going to take quite a while. I wonder if he would be willing to wait for me," Harper
wondered, feeling a bit helpless. "By the way, what's going on with the Qin Clan in Joy City?"
"The emperor's secret guards are currently searching for the third Heavenly Book. Who's going to think that you'll actually hide it
in the imperial temple?" Felton said, looking Harper in the eye. He couldn't understand why she had to go through lengths just to
hide it there. "Has your seal been removed?"
"Yes, it has," Harper quickly replied as she rubbed her temples. "But I still don't know who attacked me in the general's house."
"You were attacked at the general's house?" Felton asked in surprise.
"Yes, otherwise, I wouldn't have been backstabbed by Hailey and the others even if my martial arts skills were sealed," Harper
replied with a slight frown. "I always think that someone is plotting against me. At first, I thought that it was Matthew himself, but I
found out later that he was just one of the chess pieces. Then, I started suspecting Hoffman and Felix, too. But as it turned out,
none of them was the culprit. When I was on the way to River City, I also suspected Francis. Then, I found out that my fellow
brother Jason and the chief of the Scarlet Devils were the same person. Back then, I was pretty sure that he was the one. In the
end, however, I found out that it wasn't him as well!"
