Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 914 The Tricky Situation (Part Two)

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the general withdrew from the camp, Bastian strode in and reported, "Your Majesty, the spies sent to the Bright Dynasty got some news. The mud ball is called fire bomb and it is said to come from Prince Matthew's mansion."

Rolando's hand, which was writing, suddenly stopped. He looked up at Bastian and asked, "Is it from Prince Matthew's mansion, or someone in the mansion?"

"We haven't found it yet. I just heard that Princess Harper's secret guards sent them to the Dragon Pass. If they are from Prince Matthew's mansion, maybe Shawn has more than enough bombs, right?" Bastian frowned.

Rolando was deep in thought with a frown. The bombs came from Prince Matthew's mansion. He knew clearly what kind of person Matthew was and that it was reasonable for him to have such a back-up plan. 'After all, he could think of a way to guard against me in advance. He would definitely let Shawn have the ability to guard before he returns to the Dragon Pass.'

"Give out my orders. Go all out to capture Matthew and delay his returning to the Dragon Pass."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Besides, have you found out the outsiders coming to the Dragon Pass recently as I told you to?" Rolando continued to read over the reports from the officials. He would not lose control of the imperial court even on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, we found that Shawn and Princess Harper came to the Dragon Pass together. She was accompanied by a man called Felton Qin. Now he stays at the Dragon Pass. But Felton doesn't have

much contact with other people, and even Shawn is not familiar with him." Bastian was confused. He didn't understand why Rolando was so interested in Felton.

"Felton Qin!" Rolando instantly understood that Felton belonged to the Qin Clan. Harper must have contacted the members of the Qin Clan. That was to say, all the living people of the Qin Clan were obeyed to her.

Rolando was lost in thought. Something occurred to him all of a sudden when he thought of the Qin Clan. He asked Bastian, "Who came to the Dragon Pass with Shawn as you said?"

"Princess Harper."

Rolando's pen was cut in half. Even if he didn't want to, he had to admit the fact that Harper must have taken precautions against him a long time ago. He thought he had a perfect plan, but he didn't know Harper would make use of his plan! His purpose was the Heavenly Book, and so was Harper's. It turned out that the two had the same plot in mind.

"I'm afraid the bomb was made by Harper." Rolando felt uncomfortable. He always made use of others, but never had he imagined that he would be one of those people that would be calculated.

"Princess Harper made it! How is it possible? She is just a woman. How could she make such a terrible thing?" Bastian asked in disbelief.

Rolando smiled bitterly. "She's not an ordinary woman, but a very capable woman. However, I didn't know that she had been on alert against me to this level. She came here with Shawn, and left the bombs to him, in order to guard against me when I attack the Dragon Pass. " Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Your Majesty..." Bastian was a little worried. As the leader of the Cyan Garment Guards, he knew clearly that the emperor was obsessed with Harper and wouldn't turn down any of her requests. It was outrageous that she treated him in return in this way.

"Now that it is designed by Harper, Felton is the key point. Tell the spies in the Dragon Pass to catch him alive!" Rolando had a murderous look in his eyes. He would not stop Harper from escaping. Yet, he would put all the land in his territory. At that time, wherever she was, she would be in his territory.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the Dragon Pass, Felton sat in a cane chair at the foot of the corridor, covering his mouth and coughing repeatedly. "The weather in the Dragon Pass is too dry, and my throat always tickles. I am not feeling well."

"Master, it's time for you to take your medicine. Princess Harper is about to come back, right?" Mathias said as he put the medicine on the small table near Felton.

"She won't be back so soon. But the weather is changing." Felton looked up at the gray sky and thought, 'Tonight it's going to rain. It's the best time to kill people and rob. The rain will wash away all the evidence.'

"Master, when are we leaving here?" Mathias asked in confusion. It was useless for them to stay at the Dragon Pass all the time. They'd better go back to Phoenix City.

"Pretty soon," whispered Felton, taking the medicine bowl and blew gently, which misted his eyes.

"Are we going back to Phoenix City with Princess Harper after she returns here?" Mathias asked cautiously. They never called Harper as their leader in public, but instead they called her Lady Harper or Princess Harper in order to protect her.

"Sort of." Although Felton didn't know when Harper would go back to the Phoenix City, she needed to go back there if she wanted to uncover the secret of the Qin Clan. So he was sure she would return to Phoenix City. But when and how she would go back would be another story.

"Mathias, get ready. We have guests tonight." Felton put down the empty medicine bowl. The guests tonight were not his friends. With the help of bombs, Shawn failed to frighten the generals from the Great Jade Kingdom. Rolando came here at that time, which put the Dragon Pass in grave danger.

Upon hearing this, Mathias immediately took the empty bowl away. Now that some guests would arrive, he should prepare well to welcome them.

The wind bell under the eave was swaying in the breeze and made a pleasing sound. Felton looked up at it and mumbled with a faint smile, "The wind is rising. It's not safe here. I'll help you guard the Dragon Pass just for now. You should come back as soon as possible."
