Chapter 895 The Urgent Situation (Part One)
When Rndo came with the newly tailored ceremonial robes for the empress, Harper was ying
with Patrick to kill time. He was all smiles and was walking briskly.
"I have brought the clothes, Harper. I asked them to make them ording to your size, but since I don''t
really know the specifics of your size, I don''t really know if they''ll fit you. So try them on! Don''t worry if
they don''t fit—we have plenty of time to modify them," Rndo said, his tone gentle as he caressed the
bright red outfit.
Harper continued to y with Patrick, pretending not to hear what Rndo was saying. No one in the
world would be able to convince her to try the robes as she knew that she wouldn''t be the empress—in
the past, in the present, or in the future.
Rndo surprisingly didn''t feel bad about Harper''s silence and didn''t even press her for a response.
Instead, he just took the Heavenly Book on the table and said, "Harper, I''ll keep this for the time being.
I''ll give it back to you after the coronation ceremony."
Harper nced up at Rndo but still didn''t say anything. It was never her intention to hold on to the
book or to take it away from him. It really didn''t have any use to her anymore, as she had already
inherited all its contents and secrets. At that point, the Heavenly Book was already coursing through
her veins that she had no need for its physical form anymore.
"The coronation ceremony is going to be held tomorrow, Harper. Don''t you have anything to say about
that?" Rndo asked. Harper''s silence was starting to get into him as he rarely saw her like this. He
had seen her angry many, many times, but she was never this quiet.
"I have nothing to say," Harper answered, as she held Patrick tightly in her arms, rubbing its head.
Patrick, however, didn''t like it at all and tried to wriggle free from Harper''s clutches. Unfortunately for it,
she wasn''t budging, so it decided to y dead instead.
"Well, if that''s the case, you better rest early. Tomorrow will be very busy," Rndo said gently, poised
to leave. To him, what Harper thought and wanted didn''t matter at all—his ns woulde to fruition,
no matter what happened. Even the knowledge that Matthew was lurking in the capital didn''t worry him
one bit—if worse came to worst and they had to duel it out, he was ready. They had been mortal
enemies for the longest time now, and it was high time that someone between them triumphed.
Seeing that Rndo was about to head to the door, Harper suddenly said, "It''s been said that the
library of the Great Jade Kingdom has the mostplete collection of books in the whole world. I think
I want to have a look around there."
Rndo looked surprised but nodded nheless. "Okay. I''ll take you there."
"Thank you."
After a bit of preparation, the two of them made their way to the famous library. It was arge building
with three floors. The books it was housing covered all kinds of fields, including cultivation, martial arts,
court affairs, and so on.
"I think I want to stay here and read books today," Harper dered as soon as they arrived. She
immediately went upstairs to find one book about medicine. Although she didn''t know whether she
could find it or not, it was better than staying in the Harmony Pce in a daze.
"Okay," Rndo called behind her. He immediately ordered his people to stand guard outside so that it
would be impossible for Harper to escape.
"Your Highness, how could you still be in the mood to read medical books at this time? If I were you, I''d
be really stressed. I really admire you," Forsythia said with a downcast face. Slowly, she pushed a
window open and looked at the guards outside. She was awed by Rndo''s dedication to prevent
them from escaping, but she knew that every n had a weakness. After a few minutes of careful
calction, however, she had no choice but to give up. Truly, there was no chance for them to escape.
Harper didn''t answer Forsythia. Instead, she just went through the bookshelf as quickly as she could to
look for the thing she was searching for. She knew that she couldn''t afford to be anxious at that time, or
else she would be set up. Rndo was careful and meticulous, and since he sounded confident when
he revealed his ns to her, it meant that he had nned everything down to the smallest thing. And
the poison currently inside her body definitely was a key point!
Soon enough, Harper found the book she wanted. She quickly turned to the Deathly Kalpa which was
found on thest page. An undecipherable expression briefly contorted her face, but she collected
herself and put the book back on the shelf.
"Your Highness, the whole building is heavily guarded. There is no chance for us to escape," Forsythia
sadly said.
"Then let''s go." Harper then turned around and went downstairs. As she did, an old man wasing
up slowly, so she stepped aside to let him up first.
The old man took a good look at Harper as their paths crossed. Harper didn''t notice and continued
going downstairs with Forsythia.
Staring at Harper''s receding figure, the old man, Gary, said, "Is that the woman you like? You
deliberately let her know that she is suffering from the Deathly Kalpa. Aren''t you afraid that she''ll do
something impulsive?"
Rndo watched Harper leave. "She wouldn''t. Other people might do something irreparable on
impulse, but she wouldn''t. We''re the same type of person. She''s too rational."
"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, thisdy, Princess Harper, has extraordinary medical skills."
"More than that. The streets have said that the legendary Canon of Medicine is currently in her hands.
And honestly, judging from her medical skills, it might be true. But I believe that what you have put on
her is not easy to break; otherwise it won''t be called ''Deathly Kalpa'', right?" Rndo said in a low
voice.
Gary smiled confidently. "Of course, Your Majesty. Up until now, no one has been able to solve the
mystery of the Deathly Kalpa. Even if Harper is the best medical expert in the whole world, she
wouldn''t be able to solve it."

"Then please be ready for the coronation ceremony tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty. And please rest assured. You know that I would never disappoint you."
When Harper returned to the Harmony Pce, she looked calm, as if she hadn''t discovered something
disastrous. But Forsythia, after being around her for a long, long time, had immediately felt that Harper
had something on her mind. Considering what was happening tomorrow, however, she believed that no
one would be able to feel at peace, even for one second.
