Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 76 Is Lady Harper So Dissolute (Part One)

After a while, Hansen woke up from his unconscious state compelled by the heat inside his body that made him feel uncomfortable. The heat was turning him claustrophobic. He struggled to tear his clothes off to be able to grab some respite from the heat. His breath quickened as he tried to inhale some cool air.

Outside the cabinet, the aphrodisiac in the room made Felicia wreathe in discomfort. She started to tear her clothes exposing her fair skin. If there was a mirror in the room, she would definitely find that the scars on her body which had disappeared earlier were slowly changing as a result of the effect created by the aphrodisiac. Slowly, the scars started looking like black bugs moving along her skin.

By the time Hansen came out of the cabinet, Felicia's body was set ablaze by the fire of desire. She had completely lost her mind and taken off her clothes except for her underwear. The black marks had spread all over her back by that time. Even Hansen was completely blinded by the heat in his body. All he wanted was to find a way out of this uneasiness. He found Felicia and clung on to her thinking that becoming physically close to someone could help him feel better.

Harper was sitting on the other side of the wall with Zack. The sound from the next room made her feel extremely embarrassed. If she had been alone, she would have certainly commented on their behaviors. However, in the presence of a man that she didn't know much, she was bound to control her tongue. It was awkward for both of them as they were forced to overhear something so private. Cold sweat started appearing on Harper's forehead.

Zack remained composed and graceful. He seemed to notice Harper's awkwardness. After all, the noise in the next room was not at all low.

"Can you play Go?" Zack asked softly. He didn't wait for Harper to reply and walked straight to the board that was placed near the window. It was at a distance where the noise would not be as loud as it was at the place they were sitting right now.

Harper hesitated for a moment before she walked to the window and sat facing Zack. Marking the indecisiveness in Harper, Zack pushed the black stones towards Harper and suggested politely, "If you don't know how to play, I can teach you."

Harper nodded her head. Her face had turned crimson just like the sky before the sunset. Moreover, she had dressed herself up to fool Felicia. Hence, she couldn't look sexier now.

At the same time, in the tea house opposite to them, Matthew was sitting with Lucas, the emperor's eighth son. There was a strange coldness in Mathew's eyes. Lucas looked into his eyes and felt that something was wrong. He asked, "Uncle Matthew, are you all right?"

Mathew kept staring at the teacup intently without uttering a single word. He played his finger around the rim of the cup slowly and carefully so that the tea did not spill over. In a matter of a few moments, the steaming hot tea cooled down.

"Uncle Matthew, are you okay?" Lucas asked again as he marked the heinous intent on Mathew's face. He felt a little regretful for choosing to have a cup of tea with his uncle. The murderous intent that burst out from Matthew's body almost made him breathless.

Matthew's facial expression did not change. With a suppressed menacing look on his face, Mathew seemed to be trying hard to restrain his murderous will. Right at that moment, a drop of tea splashed out and the malicious spirit erupted in an instant. Lucas turned pale with fear. His immediate instinct was to run away, but he did not dare to make a move!

Although Zack tried to remain calm, he could not help from getting into the flow of the moment. He slowly stretched out his hand, intending to touch Harper's pretty face. But just as he reached out, she abruptly picked one stone and placed it on the board. The sudden sound brought him back from his trance.

Zack removed his hand instantly and placed a stone on the board too. The crimson color had faded away from Harper's face, and she turned pale. She was so tense and nervous!

Zack was completely out of his wits. He didn't know what had happened to him all of a sudden. He himself was taken aback by his impulsive action. The smile on his face gave way to an awkward look, and cold sweat started to appear on his forehead.

The game of Go did not help in rescuing the two of them from the awkwardness. Harper mechanically moved a few stones across the board. After that, as she touched her face gently, something hit her suddenly. Almost out of the blue, Harper felt herself a biting chill all across her body and she got goose bumps!

Harper looked out of the window but could not spot anything weird as such. She smirked at herself and wondered if she had become too sensitive. She felt a murderous intent, but it was not from Zack.

The game of Go between Harper and Zack continued for two hours. By the time they were about to finish the game, they heard some noise from outside. Zack stood up to open the door. Harper kept her eyes on him as he spoke with someone on the other side of the door. He asked what happened outside. A mark of embarrassment appeared on his gentle face when he heard the answer.

"What's wrong?" Harper asked feeling anxious.

"The noise in the next room was so loud that some passers-by tried to listen from outside the door. And in the process, the door was accidentally pushed open." Zack cleared his throat and then succinctly explained the situation.

Harper was dumbfounded as she heard that. With her mouth slightly open, she thought, 'Are the two...?' Harper made haste to go and take a look at the scene, but she was stopped by Zack. "You'd better not go out. It's not suitable for women to watch all that."

The two people in the next room were still having sex passionately. They were completely oblivious to the surrounding. Nothing seemed to bother them at all. They remained undeterred even when the door was pushed open and many people bumped in. Neither of them even tried to drive away the onlookers. The people who gathered around to witness such a shameless act of love found their nonchalance a little weird. They thought that this man must be having fun with a whore, so they did not care about being watched. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Isn't this Prince Kevin's heir?" remarked one of the spectators.

"What heir? His Majesty has ousted him of his title as an heir!" someone whispered from the crowd.

"Who is that woman with him? Her breasts are so fair!" All sorts of filthy words kept coming from the crowd. Although Zack stopped Harper at the door, she could hear every dirty word. However, she didn't have any trace of shame or anger on her face.
