Chapter 894 Be My Empress (Part Two)


    "What do you mean by that?" she asked after staying silent for a few seconds.


    Rndo smiled in response. "As I said, Harper: I want you to be my empress, and I will do anything for


    that to happen. I know that Matthew is now in the Imperial Capital. He wants to take you away from


    here, but that isn''t an easy task. But let me ask you one thing, though—which do you think is more


    important to him: the whole world or the one he loves?"


    Harper didn''t answer because what Rndo said troubled her immensely. If she remembered correctly,


    Rndo was supposed to hold the coronation ceremony tomorrow. ''What is he going to do?'' she just


    thought silently.


    When he realized that Harper had stopped being responsive to any of his advances, Rndo decided


    to leave. After he had gone, Forsythia bemoaned with resentment, "What should we do, My Lady? It


    seems like he is set on making you his woman while Prince Matthew isn''t by your side! I think it''s better


    if we escape this ce as soon as possible!"


    "Escape?" Harper repeated,ughing almost hysterically. "There are so many guards outside,


    Forsythia. It''s impossible that we beat them all. There is nothing we can do—we can''t get out of here."


    "Even if I can''t defeat all of them, I will still fight for you!" Forsythia said with a determined face.


    Harper had no choice but to smile helplessly at Forsythia''s unparalleled stubbornness and dedication


    to her. "Don''t be ridiculous, Forsythia. Matthew is still alive, yet there is already someone who wants to


    snatch his wife away. Of course I wouldn''t want that, but if he wouldn''t do anything, I''d be incredibly


    disappointed. In that case, I don''t think marrying Rndo is a bad idea."


    "My Lady! What are you talking about? I doubt Prince Matthew can remain calm if he knows what''s


    happening!" Forsythia said. Even though she had already been serving Harper for a long time, she still


    considered Matthew as one of her masters. What was more, she witnessed the blossoming of their


    beautiful rtionship. Because of this, she was one hundred percent sure that Matthew would never


    allow Harper to be taken away by Rndo.


    "I know. Of course he wouldn''t. We''ll just wait for him toe. What''s the rush anyway?" Harper said


    calmly. From what Rndo had said, Harper guessed that he was nning something for her that


    would put her in a difficult situation. ''But what would he do?'' she thought. Despite thinking hard, she


    couldn''t think of anything.


    "My Lady! We should at least tell His Highness that Emperor Rndo is trying to make you his


    empress!" Forsythia said. She was starting to feel annoyed by Harper''s seemingly nonchnt attitude.


    Since they were trapped inside the Harmony Pce, they had no way to tell Matthew what was


    happening. Now, if Rndo indeed forced Harper to be his wife and Matthew had no idea about it,


    things would undeniably go very, very wrong.


    Looking out of the room, Harper said, "Don''t worry, Forsythia. We both know that Matthew is very


    capable. How could he not know what''s happening here?"


    "I want to believe that, but I still want security that His Highness knows the bad ideas Emperor Rndo


    has in mind!" It was obvious that Forsythia wasn''t beingforted by Harper''s words.


    Harper smiled and replied, "I suddenly feel curious. What if Matthew sees me stand on the tform


    tomorrow?"


    "I think he is going to grow furious and Emperor Rndo and his men will be doomed," Forsythia


    answered at once. She was well aware of Matthew''s temper and she was sure that he would show no


    mercy to anyone who was involved in this issue.


    Harperughed, seemingly to signal that she was only poking fun at Forsythia. She really wasn''t


    sweating about the oing coronation ceremony. When she was reading the Heavenly Book and


    was inheriting the power of the Qin n, she found herself poisoned. It was something she didn''t


    recognize when it had happened. She had a special body. Minor poisons such as those that made


    people fall lethargically asleep and aphrodisiacs wouldn''t pose much threat to her. But the poison


    inside her at that moment seemed different and special. While it seemed to be harmless, Harper was


    still afraid that if it came into effect, it would kill her. What was worse, the poison was umted near


    her elixir field.


    She then began to recall everything that had happened after she entered the Imperial Pce of the


    Great Jade Kingdom. If there was nothing weird about the food and drink she had ingested, how had


    she been poisoned? Was there a venomous insect in her body? If yes, then when did she get in touch


    such insect?


    Suddenly, Harper looked at the Heavenly Book on the table. Rndo did not take it away. Although she


    had learned each and every secret that the book contained, it did not mean that it had be useless


    to her. Did he leave it because he was sure that she would not be able to leave the pce?


    Harper quickly took the book and examined it carefully. As she caressed its cover, she couldn''t help but


    smile. "He has such a sensitive mind. No wonder I didn''t notice anything."


    "My Lady, what is it?" Forsythia asked curiously.


    Harper did not respond. The poison was put on the Heavenly Book, right on the nk page that


    Rndo discovered. He made sure that he showed it to Harper because he was sure that she would


    be all over it, examining it herself with her hands.


    "You may leave now. Leave me alone for a while," Harper said as she waved her hand to ask Forsythia


    to leave. The poison Rndo had for her must be extremely strong because he knew that ordinary


    venomous insect poison wouldn''t have any effect on her. Also, she was a gifted physician, so Rndo


    used something that was somewhat more challenging to be removed from her body. And itsplexity


    was already showing: Harper knew that she had to further examine her body first before being sure


    what kind of poison she was poisoned with.


    Harper slowly took out a silver needle, stabbed it into her elixir field without hesitation, and pulled it out.


    The needle didn''t change its color at all. Confused, she thought, ''Is it not poison? But if it is not poison,


    what on earth is in my body?'' The elixir field was very important for martial cultivators. Whatever was


    inside her stomach was extremely dangerous. Once it came into effect, it would undoubtedly make her


    suffer.

    "Rndo, nothing has put me in a position where I don''t know what to do. Let''s see who''ll have thest


    laugh," she murmured with a determined look on her face.
