Chapter 623 Being Poisoned Again (Part One)


    In the end, Zack was thrown out of the mansion by Matthew.


    Seeing that Zack was thrown over the wall of Matthew''s mansion, his manservant leaped forward


    immediately to catch him, to prevent him from falling directly to the ground.


    "Young master, are you all right?" he asked worriedly after putting his young master down.


    Zack got up, flicked his wrinkled robe and then walked into the carriage. "I''m fine. Let''s go back now,"


    he said.


    "Yes." Then they headed back to the Bu n mansion. In the carriage, Zack''s gentle face appeared


    terrifyingly gloomy. The information Harper had told him made him feel infuriated. He had given


    Matthew tit for tat, only for hiding his fury.


    After throwing Zack out of his mansion, Matthew felt no remorse. "Don''t listen to him. I didn''t have any


    childhood sweetheart. I''m telling you, it''s all nonsense," he said to Harper.


    "But, you''re angry. If what he said wasn''t true, then why are you angry?" Harper asked teasingly.


    "I... I…" Matthew couldn''t say anything. He was left with no choice but to admit defeat. "My mother


    used to be on very good terms with my aunt. Gradually, I paid more attention to my aunt''s daughter


    than to others, but I swear she was not my childhood sweetheart."


    "I trust you, Matthew."


    "But, I think you trust him more, right?" Matthew asked sarcastically.


    Laughing with her hand covering her mouth, Harper said, "Matthew, I haven''t seen you this angry for a


    long time. You''ve been repressing yourself too muchtely."


    Matthew''s face changed color slightly. Holding Harper into his arms, he said, "My dear, always


    remember that there is no one more important for me than you. For me, even the totality of all the


    people in the world cannot bepared with you."


    Leaning against his chest, Harper asked, "So, what about our child?"


    "Even our child will not be as important as you!" Matthew expressed his will clearly. If it turned out that


    this child would be a threat to Harper''s life, he wouldn''t mind giving up it to save her.


    "I have something to tell you. In fact, I''m not…"


    "Your Highnesses, Prince Francis…" Noah suddenly appeared and interrupted before Harper could


    complete.

    "Your Highness, Prince Francis is dying!" Owen said anxiously as he ran in behind Noah. "Please save


    him!"


    Hearing that, Harper was quite surprised. She had cleansed the poison in Francis'' body. That day when


    he was caught in the rain, he just had a cold. She wondered how his condition would have worsened


    so suddenly.


    "Make it clear. What happened to him?" Harper asked confusedly. ''How could this happen? How could


    he suddenly be dying?'' she thought.


    "Since His Highness returned from the Imperial Pce yesterday, he has been feeling distressed. Your


    Highness, he intended to give a gift to you in person to celebrate your pregnancy, but he felt too


    ufortable toe here, so he went straight back to his mansion and slept for the night. This


    morning, when I went to wake up His Highness, he said that he was too tired and wanted to sleep a


    little longer. At that moment, I felt nothing odd because he did that many times earlier. But when I went


    to his room again at noon, he didn''t reply to me. I approached closer, only to find that he... he was


    dying! Your Highness, I beg you. Pleasee to his mansion immediately and save him!"


    Harper turned to look at Matthew and found he didn''t turn a hair. "Let''s have a look at him," he said.


    "Fetch my medicine kit, Forsythia," Harper ordered immediately. Matthew held Harper''s waist with his


    arm and flew to the roof of the house. In the blink of an eye, both of them disappeared. Seeing that,


    Owen ran out quickly and headed to Francis'' mansion.


    Following Matthew and Harper, Forsythia also hurried to Francis'' mansion by flying on roofs and


    vaulting over walls.


    Noah felt somewhat helpless. He ordered some people to guard the Phoenix House, and instructed not


    to let anyone in without permission. At the same time, he ordered the gatekeeper of the mansion to


    refuse anyone who came to visit Matthew or Harper.


    In Francis'' mansion, Francis was lying t on his bed. He didn''t look like a severe patient at all. Instead,


    he looked like he had fallen asleep. As soon as Harper arrived, she checked Francis'' pulse. She


    observed that his pulse was extremely weak.


    "What''s wrong with him?" Matthew asked.


    "I think he has been poisoned," Harper answered. She quickly took out her needle bag and began


    acupuncture on Francis. Earlier, she was sessful in removing the poison from his body, but now he


    was poisoned again with the same poison. Odds were that now, since the emperor trusted Francis,


    there was no reason for him to continue poisoning him. Besides, this time the dosage of the poison


    differed from before, and this had caused his sudden copse.


    Sitting on a chair aside, Matthew waited patiently for Harper to conduct the acupuncture. When


    Forsythia arrived, Harper was still busy with the process. As soon as she saw Forsythia, she ordered,


    "Open the third cab in the medicinal kit. Take out the red pill from it, dissolve it in wine, and force


    him to swallow it."


    "Right away, Your Highness."


    Forsythia took out the pill. Looking over the room, she saw a teapot on the side table. "Is it okay to use


    tea water instead?" she asked tentatively.


    "No, we need wine. There are bottles of wine on the second shelf of the wardrobe. It''s over there,"


    Harper said, as she pointed her finger to one corner, even without raising her head. However, she had


    no idea that Matthew''s eyes darkened all of a sudden when he heard her words. He only fixed his eyes


    on Harper, who was concentrating on acupuncture. After a while, he stood up and walked out at once.


    While Forsythia was taking out a bottle of wine from the wardrobe, she also observed Matthew walking


    out with an overcast face. But she didn''t give too much of a thought about it. As soon as the bottle was


    opened, the scent of the wine overflowed. Even Harper, who was busy working, couldn''t help but sigh


    in admiration, "Good wine! It smells great."


    Forsythia poured out some wine into a cup and put the pill into it. Soon, the pill dissolved in it, and then


    she handed over the cup to Harper. Harper took a nce at Francis, who was still lying unconscious.


    She then pinched his cheeks to force open his mouth and then emptied the cup into his


    mouth.
