Chapter 870 Being Poisoned (Part Two)
"Matthew, I missed you. I missed you so, so much." Harpery in Rndo''s strong arms without
knowing that it wasn''t Matthew. Actually, there was no way for her toe to this realization: Fantasy''s
effect was too potent for her to fight.
Rndo once again felt his heart being crushed so hard that he could hardly breathe. As much as he
was enjoying Harper being this romantic towards him, his pride would not allow him to be a substitute
for another man. When he finally made up his mind and tried to push Harper away, she looked at him in
the eye, her expression sweet and innocent, and asked, "Did you miss me like I missed you?"
At that point, Rndo finally admitted to himself that he loved Harper more than he thought. His self-
control, which he was proud of, thenpletely copsed in a matter of seconds. ''She hasn''t even
done anything to you! She just asked whether you missed her!'' he thought. With a sigh, he epted
that even if Harper was seeing Matthew instead of him, he would not be able to refuse her.
"Of course, I do. I miss you so much. I even want to hug you tightly and swallow you alive!" Rndo
wanted to indulge himself. For this one time, he didn''t want to think about the consequences of doing
so. Even if in the end, Harper would hate him for the rest of her lifetime, he needed to have her. That
was how crazy he was over her!
Rndo''s rationality had finally abandoned him. It wasn''t hard to see that all of this was just someone''s
evil n to ruin his rtionship with Harper, but he no longer wanted to care about all of that. He
wouldn''t deserve to continue being a man if he still tried to control himself when the woman he wanted
so much was right in front of him, practically begging him to be with her.
Rndo then passionately kissed Harper, the woman he had longed for the longest time. Even though
he had told himself countless times that he had no feelings for her and that all he wanted to do was to
use her to put his ns into action, at that moment, he became honest enough to admit that he had
already fallen in love with this woman unconsciously, and that he couldn''t stop himself from doing so!
"Harper, I love you!" Rndo said affectionately. Unbeknownst to him, it was this sentence that woke
Harper up from her stupor. Shocked at what was happening, she pushed Rndo away in an instant.
Rndo was taken aback by Harper''s unexpected move. As he dropped to the ground, he looked at
Harper with astonishment. Harper shook her head hard. ''The person on the ground has the familiar
face of Matthew, but for some reason, I know that he is not Matthew!'' she thought. Because Matthew
had always been the jealous type, he never called her ''Harper'' the way every other people in her life
called her. If he was in a good mood, he would call her Harp. If he was angry or anything else, he
would call her by her full name.
"Harper, what''s wrong with you?" Rndo asked in shock.
Harper clenched her teeth, and came to realize that someone had sessfully plotted against her.
Since the best way to keep the brain active was to feel pain, she took off her hairpin and stabbed her
arm with it.
Rndo sat on the ground, mouth agape as he saw what Harper was doing to herself. Seeing that she
was about to stab herself again, he immediately grabbed her hand and pressed one of her acupoints,
making her unable to move for a while. Then, he picked up the kettle on the table and used the water
inside it to extinguish the censer.
"Is anybody out there?" Rndo shouted from inside the room.
Hearing his voice, Sonia hurriedly opened the door and came in. "Your Majesty, I am here."
"Call the imperial physician in."
"Yes."This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
As soon as the imperial physician entered, he immediately noticed how messy Rndo looked. When
he saw Harper, he gasped at how bloodied she was. "Check Harper first. After you''ve examined her
thoroughly, check the incense in the censer," Rndo ordered at once. Then, he turned to Sonia and
asked, "Who lit that today?"
Sonia was so afraid that she would the one who would be med for everything. "Your Majesty, I didn''t
light the incense," she said earnestly.
Rndo didn''t answer. His face was pale, and he still felt his blood boiling inside of him. However, what
troubled him more was Harper''s condition. After the imperial physician examined Harper, his face
changed in surprise. He looked at Rndo first, and then at Harper.
"Tell me your diagnosis of the situation immediately," Rndo hissed upon seeing how the imperial
physician was acting.
"Well, Your Majesty, thisdy has been poisoned with Fire Toxin."
Sonia gasped. Immediately, she said, "Your Majesty, I don''t know what''s going on! I really don''t know!"
"Can you cure her?" Rndo asked, not paying attention to the panicking Sonia.
"The treatment is simple. It only needs Your Majesty to have sex with her." The imperial physician
looked cautiously at Rndo. A mouthful of saliva got stuck in Rndo''s throat. If this thing could be
solely dealt with through that way, would he look so furious and gloomy now?
"Is there any other way?" Rndo asked seriously.
"This poison is very strange. It ispletely different from everything I have encountered before. It
must be from and far from the Great Jade Kingdom. But there is one thing that I know about poisons
like this—they are fierce. Although Lady Harper can be restrained now, I''m afraid that she will die of
bleeding within a few hours." When he heard that, Rndo''s face turned more serious. The imperial
physician trembled with fear as he really did not know other treatment. Having sex was the quickest
and most effective way to detoxify.
"Fernando!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Go and find out whoever came in and out of the Harmony Pce today. Don''t let anyone slip away.
Have everyone put to jail until we discover the mastermind of this heinous crime!"
"Yes."
Sonia was trembling all over with fear. Rndo mentioned all those who went in and out of the
Harmony Pce. It was impossible for them to escape as they were servants and maids of the
Harmony Pce. "Your Majesty..."
"Investigate what is in the censer as soon as possible!" After that, Rndo held Harper up and rushed
out of the Harmony Pce, not caring about what others were thinking.
