Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 883 Got The Blank Heavenly Book (Part One)

Looking at the box on the table, Harper didn't know what to say or how to react. Forsythia wanted to say something but stopped herself after thinking about it again. Since Rolando came to Harper's quarters, placed the box on the table and left, Harper hadn't moved at all.

"Are you going to open it, Your Highness?" Forsythia finally asked.

Harper didn't respond. She was still thinking about what happened last night, so she didn't pay any attention to the Heavenly Book or Forsythia's question. She was still wondering whether last night was a dream and whether Matthew was actually hurt or not.

After stealing food from somewhere in secret, Patrick sneaked back into the room. Its mouth was full of oil as it jumped onto the table. Then, it found a comfortable position and closed its eyes to sleep while leaning on Harper's arm.

Seeing that Patrick was back, Harper immediately withdrew her hand with so much force that the creature fell on the table. Patrick's head hit the table so bad that it became dizzy. It jumped up trying to fight with Harper.

She reached out her hand and picked up Patrick. "Was Matthew injured?"

Patrick looked at Harper with a confused expression on its face. 'It's great that Matthew got hurt. That bastard always bullied me. Oh, that's such a good thing. I should congratulate him.'

Upon noticing the gloat on Patrick's face, Harper knew that it didn't know whether Matthew was injured or not, so she immediately threw it away. Then, she went back to being in a daze.

The corners of Forsythia's mouth twitched while she thought, 'Your Highness, you're thinking way ahead. You've been pondering for a long time. Are you thinking about His Highness instead of the Heavenly Book?'

"Your Highness, are you missing His Highness? Do you want me to contact him?" Forsythia cautiously asked.

"Can you actually get in touch with him?" Harper asked, looking puzzled.

"The secret guards have their own way of communication, but it will be a different case if the message can be sent out." Forsythia was feeling helpless. She couldn't even move a single step in the Imperial Palace of the Great Jade Kingdom. What she could do now was stay with Harper and never leave her side.

Harper knew exactly what Forsythia meant. At that moment, the Harmony Palace was surrounded by numerous guards. Even a fly couldn't get out, let alone a message. Matthew couldn't have sneaked in here without disturbing anybody. She really must have been dreaming last night.

With these thoughts in mind, Harper sighed. She opened the box that Rolando had brought and took out the Heavenly Book inside. Opening the book, she saw the characters on it, which were extremely familiar to her. It was certainly another Heavenly Book that she hadn't seen before. To her surprise, Rolando had sent two Heavenly Books to her.

"How could there be two books? Isn't there only one Heavenly Book in Emperor Rolando's hand?" Forsythia doubtfully asked.

"The other is the Heavenly Book which belonged to the Bright Dynasty," Harper calmly said. She didn't exactly know how Rolando acquired the book, but she knew that whatever happened must have been related to Matthew. The two must have made some kind of deal which made Matthew give the Heavenly Book to Rolando.

"Now, there is only the last Heavenly Book to be found. Your Highness, there are three Heavenly Books, but we only have two of them. It seems useless to have them," Forsythia thoughtfully said.

"Only one book to be found?" As if murmuring to herself, Harper opened the last Heavenly Book. In her hand was the first volume of the book. The Heavenly Book which belonged to Matthew was the second volume, while the third one was from Rolando. At that moment, only the third volume was what she hadn't read yet.

Rolando had ordered Miguel to send her some copies, which was fine because what she wanted to know was the contents of the book. But when she skimmed through the pages, she found out that the latter part was blank!

"It's blank!"

Forsythia was astonished as well. The latter part of the third Heavenly Book was blank. There really was nothing in the second half of the book. To say the least, it was weird.

"Your Highness, is there really nothing in the book, or is it a fake one?" Forsythia asked with caution. If the Heavenly Book was fake, it would have been very shameless of Rolando.

Harper carefully touched the blank pages and didn't find anything significant. There wasn't a scratch or a fold or anything. But, the latter part of the book should definitely not be blank. There should be something on it. Perhaps, Harper needed a special way for the book to show the contents. "This is a real one. The part in the end is not blank. The contents are just hidden."

"Will the contents appear if we dip it in the water?" Forsythia handed a cup of tea to Harper, urging her to try it. With a smile, Harper shook her head.

"Rolando must have tried all of the common methods. So definitely, an ordinary way won't make the characters show up." Why were the contents in the book hidden? Was it because the information recorded on it was extremely confidential?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Then, Patrick started pestering Harper. She curled a finger and flicked it into the air. The creature didn't want to let her go so it continued to pounce on her. But Harper used her internal force every time it would do so. Although she wouldn't hurt it, she could still easily throw it out.

Patrick knew it was not a match for Harper, so it directly grabbed the Heavenly Book on the table and ran away. Harper did not get upset with that. She let Patrick grab and play with the Heavenly Book. When she saw that Patrick threw the book here and there as a toy, Forsythia was scared and worried that the Heavenly Book would be damaged. There were only three of those in the world. If anything were to happen to the book, the contents on it would cease to exist.
