Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Nina soon fetched some water and put it into a bowl. Harper took a sip. The water was clean.

"What do you think, My Lady?" Nina asked anxiously.

"There is no problem with the water." Frowning, Harper wondered how the bird's nest soup had been poisoned. Frustrated that she couldn't figure it out, Harper went to inspect the kitchen. Enya and Elsie didn't know what happened to make Harper's mood sour but they sensed they had to stay silent.

Harper checked the water tank in the kitchen and the bird's nest again. Then she looked at the roof and the windowsill. Even the ash in the stove did not have a trace of the poison. But there was poison in the soup. That much she was certain.

'It's so strange!' Harper thought for a long time, but still was unable to figure out a possibility. It took a certain brand of brilliance and cunning to be able to poison her so subtly. If it weren't for her medical background, she wouldn't detect the poison at all. They would have been poisoned to their deaths. If someone had run into the Emerald House to poison her, her maids should have noticed that person's presence. What o

y," Harper said.

Carrie was so frightened that she immediately took her finger back. After she was sure that Harper was fine and was not poisoned, she gritted her teeth and stood up. "I was just out for a midnight stroll," she replied, trying hard to calm herself down.

"Oh, were you?" Harper sneered, making her look terrifying in the dark night. Carrie's heart beat fast as if it would break out of her chest any time. "The road is slippery. People always easily fall down when they walk at night. I think you'd better go back as soon as you can. Otherwise, you may fall down once again," Harper stated emotionlessly.

Carrie wanted to talk back, but she knew that it was not appropriate to appear outside Harper's house so late at night. So she turned around and left with her maid. After a few steps, she twisted her ankle. After she got up, she pinched Shirley as she limped away. Harper's eyes went cold as ice. 'I have already given you the last chance. Since you've just thrown it back to my face, don't blame me for all the things coming your way.'

"Nina, go and light a lotus lantern," she told Nina.
