Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 896 The Urgent Situation (Part Two)

In a hotel in the capital, Diana walked up and down restlessly. "What should we do? My master has been trapped in the Imperial Palace. And Prince Matthew is nowhere to be seen. What should we do?"

"Stop pacing around! You're making me dizzy! His Highness is not here, so he must have been out to find a way to save Princess Harper. Who would have thought that Emperor Rolando would do such a shameless thing, like forcing to keep Her Highness inside his palace against her will! What a heartless person!" Zorro said agonizingly.

Diana rolled her eyes. This idiot still thought that Rolando was aiming for Matthew. Rolando's target had probably been Harper ever since the very beginning. Harper's earlier-than-expected arrival in the Great Jade Kingdom, her successful penetration of the Imperial Palace, and her incredible treatment even as a foreigner must all have been because of Rolando. The planned coronation ceremony tomorrow must have been planned for vengeance!

"The envoy team has arrived. It is a great opportunity for us to save Her Highness at the ceremony tomorrow!" Zorro clenched his fists and hoped that the guards in the palace would slack off tomorrow, because no one in their right mind would do anything out of line when something that important would happen. They would find the right time to sneak into the Harmony Palace and rescue Harper before Rolando was able to marry her!

Suddenly a small snake climbed into the room through the window and immediately made its way towards Diana. It climbed up her leg and to her wrist. Diana was overjoyed to see the creature. "Any news?" she asked happily.

Nobody knew how Diana was able to talk to the snake, but Zorro didn't care. They needed the information. Unfortunately, her face became contorted as if she received bad news. "What's wrong?" Zorro asked.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Princess Lilian had a miscarriage and was put under house arrest," Diana shared, looking at Zorro directly in the eyes.

"What about Princess Harper?" Zorro further inquired.

"I was just going to share that next," Diana said, gulping down her saliva. She continued, "Rolando decided to have somebody else to be his empress to replace Lilian at the last second. He has chosen Princess Harper, and tomorrow, she would become his empress!"

Zorro's eyes widened and his mouth fell open. "That despicable asshole, Rolando! How could he do this!"

"That shouldn't be our main concern! What's more pressing is Prince Matthew going into the palace to find his wife, and he was hurt by Rolando. We all know that he is injured somewhere, but his whereabouts are still unknown."

"What?" Zorro contemplated their fate as of late: the prince asked them to take care of Harper, but she was taken away by Rolando, even though she was under their protection; Matthew then went to rescue her, but was plotted in secret by Rolando; now, Rolando was actively trying to make Harper his empress despite her being someone else's wife. "Rolando is rather shameless!" he shouted.

"We have to send someone to the palace to save Her Highness." Zorro immediately stood up and walked out.

"Stop!" Diana shouted, trying to stop him from going. "How do you think you would be able to save her especially at this time? Break into the palace and let Rolando's people kill you? If all of you are dead, then nobody can save my master!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"We will fight for her at the ceremony tomorrow! Although I know my master doesn't want to attend that damned event, we all know that Rolando is very sinister and will force her to attend. When that time comes, we will create some aversion so that we would be able to rescue her. That will be much safer than just barging in there right now," Diana said decisively.

"No, I can't wait that long!" Zorro protested.

"Zorro, get your head straight! The Imperial Palace is obviously currently heavily guarded. There is a high chance that you will be killed before seeing my master, let alone saving her. Isn't that the dumbest thing you can do right now?" Diana was speechless. 'What kind of people are they? How could they be this stupid and reckless? My master always said that I don't think about my actions thoroughly, but it seems like her subordinates are worse!'

"It's... But the ceremony will be held tomorrow. If Her Highness becomes the empress of the Great Jade Kingdom, what will His Highness do?"

"What a fool! We are going to stop the ceremony tomorrow, but how should we stop it? We need to discuss and plan this carefully, because we will absolutely not let my master marry Rolando!" Diana said, her voice sounding incredibly furious.

Zorro finally calmed down and thought for a while. "I need to send a message to Marquis Shawn. If things go on like this, there may be a war between the Great Jade Kingdom and the Bright Dynasty. We have to tell him so that he would be able to prepare!"

"You are right. Shawn is a general guarding the border. If he sends the army to the border and puts pressure on Rolando, it will be good for us!" Diana rolled her eyes. "Send a message to Shawn. Ask him to stir up the conflict between the two kingdoms first. Attack Rolando off guard."

"Okay." Zorro sent a message to Shawn immediately. After thinking it over, Diana decided to send a message to Catherine. If the Bright Dynasty and the Great Jade Kingdom started a fight, the South Kingdom and the Wonder Kingdom would not be able to stand by. She had to tell Catherine to get prepared.

Diana opened the window and whistled. In the dark night, a quick shadow flew into the window and stopped on her arm. She tied the letter on its leg. "Go back and tell my sister. You can't delay."

Diana sent the message by the exclusive crow of the South Kingdom, which could resist the miasma in the kingdom. Because of the special environment, only crows could pass through the miasma in the region. So she trained crows to pass the message. When the crow disappeared, she closed the window and thought, 'Harper, let me see if you can defeat Rolando.'
