Forensic Imperial Concubine

Rolando opened the Heavenly Book he owned. What had been troubling him for the longest time was that the final pages of the book were blank. Where there should have been some content on it, the only thing staring at him were white spaces after white spaces. Despite his long-time efforts in studying the book, he still couldn't find a way to make anything show itself. He thought that perhaps, only a member of the Qin Clan knew the secrets which were hidden in the pages.

"What on earth do you think might be concealed in the blank parts of this book?" Rolando subconsciously asked out loud. Getting a little tired from years of studying the book, he could only get its superficial meaning. He had no idea what secrets might be written between the lines.

"Your Majesty, since you have studied it for ages, I think you know it very well. Moreover, I still don't think scheming against that couple is a good idea," Miguel firmly said.

In fact, Rolando already knew that Miguel's statement made a lot of sense. Matthew was already as powerful, cunning, and sophisticated as he was. On the other hand, Harper was a smart and resourceful person as well. In the past, she had hidden her talents on purpose, and no one noticed that she was an ingenious woman. In the end, Matthew married her, taking Harper on his side, which was yet another blessing for that man. It seemed like God had always been smiling to Matthew.

"Of course I know it's not completely wise. But she's the only one who can reveal the secret of the Heavenly Books," Rolando replied.

"If no one can find the third volume, she won't be able to solve the problem either." Miguel tried to persuade Rolando in giving up the plan. In his mind, the Great Jade Kingdom had just settled down and it might not survive another battle. If its monarch willfully insisted on carrying out his plan to deal with Matthew and his wife, then it was quite possible that it would have a war against the Bright Dynasty.

Rolando smiled before saying, "Maybe no one else can find the third volume, but I'm willing to bet that Harper can definitely do it. Besides, Matthew could refuse anyone in this world, except Harper. That's why, I must make her stay in our kingdom for as long as I can."

Miguel totally understood the situation, even if Rolando didn't thoroughly explain it. Harper was the only living descendant of the Qin Clan. If there were any secrets in the book, then only someone like her could uncover it. Back then, the reasons that Rolando went to the Bright Dynasty and became one of its monks were not only to avoid the internal strife in the Great Jade Kingdom, but also to find a way to figure out the book's secret, and search for the only descendant of the Qin Clan.
