Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 945 Being Tortured And Questioned (Part Two)

"Yes, it's really Darren. Even the assassins who tried to assassinate you yesterday were arranged by him. I didn't lie to you!" Douglas gasped for breath, with cold sweat coming out on his forehead. He underestimated Harper. That was right. She even dared to do something to her father without hesitation. To her distant relatives, he was afraid that her means would be more ruthless and cruel.

Chewing the hare meat, Harper thought for a while. "I can't figure out why Darren sent somebody to assassinate me, but you can let it pass first. At least, you have told me that the cooperative partner of the Qin Clan is from Phoenix City. Otherwise, so many assassins from the Qin Clan couldn't have entered the city and tried to kill us."

Douglas tried his best to control his emotions and reminded himself not to be led by Harper, but his mind had already been in a mess. The pain was like a maggot which had attached to his bone, as if it was painful in his head and could not be dispelled in any way.

"I've told you the truth. It's your business whether you believe it or not."

"Why is Felton the only one in the Qin Clan who has a weak body?" Harper asked about Felton's physical condition. People from the Qin Clan were born with the spiritual power, which would make them weak and unable to bear. So, why didn't Harper have a weak body but Felton did? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Douglas fell into silence by surprise. He didn't know whether he should talk about Felton's poor health. There was a method to solve the problem caused by the innate spiritual power of the Qin Clan, but this method was cruel. He had no idea whether he should say it or not.

"Is it difficult to answer the question?" Harper asked, while Patrick instantly showed its paws.

"Because all the people who have blood relationship with Felton transferred their spiritual power to him, and his body can't bear that much spiritual power, so he is so weak. Of course, I transferred my own spiritual power to him, too," Douglas replied hurriedly.

Harper finally understood the reason. "That's why I feel the spiritual power in his body is a mess. It turns out that several people transferred their spiritual power to him. That's to say, you've chosen to sacrifice him from the very beginning and used him as a container to collect everyone's spiritual power."

"I should have been the container. But for some unknown reason, I was born with a special physical condition, and I couldn't absorb others' spiritual power. That's why the Qin Clan turned to use him as the container." Douglas took a deep breath.

Harper nodded. She finally understood why the Qin Clan let Felton go out and why they abandoned him so easily. It turned out that he was the one that was abandoned in the first place.

Harper stared at Douglas and asked seriously, "How much does the Qin Clan know about the Heavenly Books? Don't try to deceive me. After all, I have hundreds of ways to give you a living death. I have means to make you spit out everything you know. I haven't killed you only for the sake of Felton."

Douglas clenched his teeth. "The clan know everything that they should know. They had wanted to get the Heavenly Books. However, Rolando and Matthew are hard to deal with. And they both pay attention to you. That's why Felton found you with the Heavenly Book from the Qin Clan. We wanted to use you to lure them out and get the other Heavenly Books from them. But the Qin Clan didn't expect that you would give the Heavenly Books to Rolando."

Harper got excited. That was to say, the Qin Clan didn't know about the heritage yet. They thought only the Death Pool was able to cleanse their bone marrow to save them?

"Have you taken away my mother's body?" Harper asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

"Wasn't your mother's body buried in... You dug up her tomb!" Douglas fell silent at once.

Harper didn't answer. She had dug her mother's tomb in order to make sure that she was dead, but she didn't get any news in the end. She just knew that her mother's remains were not in the family grave.

"I don't know about it. Maybe we need to ask Grandma. She is in charge of the domestic affairs in the clan. My mother is the mistress in name, but in fact, she has no real power. Grandma is the decision- maker." Douglas was telling the truth. He had no idea what was going on with Harper's mother.

Harper looked at Matthew, who nodded his head without being noticed and said, "I'll transfer the Black Flag Army here."

Douglas' pupils shrank in an instant after he heard that. What did he mean by transferring the Black Flag Army here? In order to help his wife vent her anger, Matthew intended to use the Black Flag Army with three hundred thousand soldiers to flatten the Cloud Mountain?

"Harper Chu, you are a part of the Qin Clan anyway."

"Lady Victoria said last night in front of everyone that my wife is just an outsider. Since she is an outsider, how can she be regarded as a part of the Qin Clan? As for you, Mister Douglas, you'd better think about yourself. Does the Qin Clan treat you as a human?" Matthew said coldly.

Matthew's last few words provoked Douglas and he squinted. He was born and grew up in the Qin Clan. He had a deep understanding of the inside intrigues and dirty tricks of the family, as well as the thoughts of the women and the top ten elders. At that moment, Matthew's words accurately described his position in the Qin Clan. It was so sad for him to admit such a fact.
