Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

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.

"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.
