Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 44 Venomous Slander (Part Two)

"No, thanks. Felicia has already been treated by—"

"Go and take a look!" Kate interrupted Sue. "After all, Felicia will be my son Hansen's wife soon. We can't make any mistakes. Go and see Felicia."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Kate told her maid to keep an eye on Sue, and she herself, as well as Wade Wang and the others, went straight to Splendor House where Felicia lived. When they arrived at the door, two maids guarding the door wanted to warn Felicia, but they were stopped by Harper. Everyone immediately heard some foul words being used by Felicia!

"Is that bitch dead?"

"My Lady, keep it down. They have gone there, but..."

"But what? Since she dares to steal my future husband, she should die!" Angrily, Felicia smashed something which made a loud noise. "Yvonne, do you think you can surpass me after having a child? No way! As long as I am alive, you are just a concubine. What's the big deal if you're pregnant? This time, I'd like to see if the baby in your belly can be kept alive!"

"My Lady, Lady Harper is at home and has good medical skills. If she saves her—"

"There is no way Harper can save that bitch. My mother and father have already taken her to be a murderess. How can they let her get close to that bitch? Even if she wants to save that bitch, she can't! Go check whether that bitch is dead or not. Also, confirm if that bitch Harper has been beaten to death!" Felicia chuckled proudly.

Everything was clear to everyone who heard it. Kate trembled with anger listening to these foul words. She didn't expect that Felicia was the one who had poisoned Yvonne. And to make things worse, she

was vicious enough to frame Harper for it. This went to show how evil she was. She had planned to kill both her sisters at once!

The maid Angel, who was talking to Felicia, was about to go out to see what was going on in Excellence House. When she came out, she saw a group of people standing in the yard and Kate was in the front. Angel was so scared that her legs trembled and she knelt on the ground. "Your Highness."

Hearing Angel's words, Felicia became scared out of her wits. She hurried to put the smashed items under the bed. Then she went back to lie in the bed. She didn't want anyone to find out what she had done. Secretly, she began to pray that no one had heard her words.

Although Kate was absolutely furious, she remained calm and led Wade Wang inside. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"Your Highness, what brings you here? Greetings." Felicia put on a show of struggle while she tried to get up. Seeing this, Kate waved her hand.

"Just lie down. I heard that someone poisoned you and your sister. I was so worried about you, so I took the imperial physician here to check your condition. Yvonne is all right now. Physician Wade, check her," Kate ordered, giving no chance for Felicia to refuse.

Felicia caught a glimpse of Harper in the crowd and was shocked. 'What! Why is she here? Why didn't Mother kill her? What's wrong? How could Yvonne be okay? I thought she had lost her baby and died!'

When Wade Wang started to check Felicia's pulse, she was trembling with fear. In truth, she had poisoned herself too but in small quantity. She told herself that the imperial physician couldn't lie and tell others that she wasn't poisoned. This thought filled her with some relief. She looked at Harper and gritted her teeth.

"Harper... I... What did I do to upset you? Why did you poison me?" Felicia cried and looked very pitiful. However, everyone present there had already heard of the conversation between her and angel. Hence

they knew her tears were fake. Instead of feeling sorry, they felt ashamed of her.

"Felicia, you must have misunderstood me. I never hurt you!" Harper said, looking utterly confused.

"Harper, don't try to fake it anymore. We know very well that you are jealous of me and Yvonne. It's forgivable that you hurt me, but how can you hurt Yvonne? After all, she is pregnant. Our family physician revealed that the gifts you sent were poisoned. When Yvonne saw the gift, she was filled with joy. We never expected you to be so cruel—"

Pak! Kate couldn't stand it any longer. She slapped Felicia across her left cheek. It was so hard that her soft skin began to bleed.

Looking petrified, Felicia didn't know what to say. Slowly, she stammered, "Your Highness...why...why did you hit me?"

"Why did I hit you?" In this anger, Kate didn't care about her own identity as a princess. She lurched forward and grabbed Felicia's hair. Recklessly, she continued to place several slaps across Felicia's face.

"Physician Wade, tell us what you have found out after checking her!"

Wade Wang glanced at Felicia, who was almost knocked dead by Kate. But knowing he had to follow Kate's orders, he said, "The poison given to Lady Yvonne and Lady Felicia happens to be the same. This poison is normally aimed at a pregnant woman. It will cause the woman to lose her baby and die. Luckily, Lady Yvonne is in good health and was rescued in time. By God's grace, her baby isn't harmed either. Even though Lady Felicia is poisoned, the amount used is very little. It only has the capacity to make her uncomfortable but can't harm her."

"The amount doesn't matter! The fact remains I too was poisoned by Harper! It is not my fault that I was lucky enough to have had only a small dose of poison!" Felicia wasn't the type to give up, so she continued with her attempts at framing Harper.

Harper looked at her with a sad expression. "Felicia, I didn't expect you to hate me so much!"
