Chapter 890 The Mystery Solved (Part Two)
"I''m going to see him. Are you sure you want to stop me?" asked Harper bluntly.
"I''ll lead the way for you, Your Highness," said Fernando hesitantly.
He then took Harper to the Imperial Study. As he was about to inform Rndo of their arrival, Harper
stopped him. Sean, the eunuch was also going to tell Rndo that they have arrived, but Harper shook
her head and signaled him to leave. He hesitated for a second but he quietly left.
Rndo was reading over the files carefully when he saw something that made his blood boil. His hand
instinctively went for his teacup, as drinking tea had always made him calm, but to his frustration, the
cup was empty. He took in a deep breath to center himself and decided to ask Sean to fetch another
one. When he raised his head, however, he found that instead of Sean, Harper was standing in front of
him.
"Harper, why are you here?" Surprise and confusion colored Rndo''s face. "What''s happening? Are
the servants not serving you well?"
"Lilian was poisoned. Miguel just came to the Harmony Pce and begged me for help," Harper said,
looking Rndo in the eyes.
Rndo nodded, replying, "I see. Whether to save her or not, it''s up to you. Don''t feel obligated to it,
however."
"Rndo, is Lilian really your consort?" Harper asked seriously. If Lilian was indeed Rndo''s consort
and was pregnant with his child, Rndo wouldn''t have reacted in such a calm manner. However, he
did, and it seemed like Lilian was an irrelevant person to him. Lilian was poisoned, and aside from not
showing any kind of worry on his face, he even asked Harper to make the choice herself and not to feel
obligated!
"What do you think?" Rndo didn''t reply but asked her the question.
Harper wanted to ask if the child inside Lilian''s womb was his. Because if so, she found hisck of
concern disturbing. A few seconds of silence followed that, and during that time, Harper realized that
she had no say in the matter and asking about it would be basically invading Rndo and Lilian''s
privacy. Upon the thought, she turned her back to him to leave.
"Harper!" Rndo called out as he tried to stop Harper from leaving. "Will you attend the empress
coronation ceremony?"
Harper turned around to look at Rndo and replied, "I came here as a representative of the Bright
Dynasty to celebrate the coronation. Of course I woulde."
A light flickered in Rndo''s eyes. The coronation was still a go, but the candidate for his empress
needed changing. To be honest, Lilian was never meant to be the woman to sit beside him on the
throne—she was just a disguise. He asked for Harper''s opinion just to see how she would react.
The light in Harper''s eyes, however, darkened as she once again headed for the door. Rndo had
just asked her whether she would take part in the coronation, which confused her. ''He is the emperor of
this kingdom. He should have known what I came here for,'' she thought.

When Harper returned to the Harmony Pce, she found that Patrick had alreadye back. It stood
at the table, holding the fruit in its hand and biting it. The moment its eyesid on her, it immediately
threw the fruit away and ran to her. It excitedly pointed at the stuff on the table. It was as if it was
presenting Harper a treasure.
Harper had no choice but to walk over the table and have a look at everything that was on it. It was the
Heavenly Book she had handed to Matthew. "Where did you find Matthew?" she asked.
Patrick folded its arms across its chest, as if asking Harper forpensation first before it answered. It
made Harperugh. She then pulled out a pill and Patrick chased after it. After eating it up, Patrick
returned in front of Harper and reached out its ws, threatening to scratch her if she didn''t give it
more pills.
"Where did you find him?"
Harper drew a big circle with her finger, and asked. "In the city?"
Patrick nodded. Yes, it found Matthew in the city, not in the Imperial Pce!
Squinting her eyes, Harper asked, "Who else did you see besides Matthew?"
Patrick''s eyes narrowed as if wondering, ''Was there anyone else?'' After thinking for a while, it
concluded that it didn''t meet anyone else and so it shook its head.
Harper nodded. "OK. Nobody else, then. I understand."
Patrick continued to reach out its paws to scratch Harper to ask for more pills. With a chuckle, she
threw a bottle of pills to it and opened the three Heavenly Books, trying to find a way to unveil its
hidden content. Unfortunately, she failed.
Frustrated, she looked at the Heavenly Books and said to herself, "I still couldn''t see the hidden part of
the Heavenly Books even though I have collected all the three. Was I wrong? How will I be able to
unveil that?"
"Squeak!" Patrick suddenly jumped onto the Heavenly Books and asked Harper to y with it. Harper
impatiently asked it to go away and continued to read the Heavenly Book in a daze.
"Squeak! Squeak!" Patrick was not pleased. It jumped onto the Heavenly Books again, stomping on
them viciously. Harper just couldn''t be bothered and angrily waved her hand to get rid of it.
Unexpectedly, Patrick bit her finger.
"Hiss!" Harper let out a soft yelp and pulled her finger back. After examining it, she saw that Patrick had
bitten her badly, and that her finger was bleeding. Soon, a bit of her blood dropped on one of the
Heavenly Books. She hurriedly wipe it clean, making a mental note to discipline Patrick some other
time. While she was doing that, however, a strange thing happened: the Heavenly Book with her blood
started emitting a strange light.
Harper quickly realized what she had to do and put a bit of her blood on the other two Heavenly Books.
Suddenly, the three books integrated to form one book, with the hidden content revealing itself. Harper
watched the scene unfold with wide eyes and mouth agape. It turned out that the key to unravel the
mystery of the Heavenly Book was her blood!
"Squeak!" Patrick was frightened by what was happening. It thought that it had made a mistake, so it
hid itself in a corner, afraid of what Harper would do to it if she caught it. But Harper was busy—she
was intently staring at the Heavenly Book and what was happening to it as if it was the only thing inside
the room.
