Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HYIDMqTiF
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TvXNJr5xo
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4eAVEttRU
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1MGTJchFx
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAbl9f8I33
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5YToTO1dD
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GFW9zam6w
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaje75iEno
stay away from this case, it would be completely impossible.
His daughter was the one who got implicated.
“What type of poison is it?” The Emperor asked in a low511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvICOlzZuZ
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsIriRIIy4
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWijbKR5E9g
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOPRZBCoqJ
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cyEiw3xWK
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeu7HSwwGN
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp8TMho4DX
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHS8UIud6x
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh4iJ1Sgdo
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmkRmpeFSs
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGUkqUeZE3
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWRkbaWfp0
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tBRqDWzNT
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv27hKrEquK
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39VxJP6MvE
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OEMt8OsGw
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jik445ER8
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n94eKZWna
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYc6V0wn42
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJWr3Z63CX
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jx8HtiEe2
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuZATjGadF
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7NBh6VxVg
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LdWAgXDbx
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibBBFuxJdI
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcCrmEvHAF
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOMmpdup2X
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWda0xZSut
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8gdqqrxay
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg9V2RZgVG
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IAoiotVg1
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ368xdxGWTA
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3dQ8nL0up
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkWRnMjW46
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKukJe14IkM
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K7P9a9kSf
generation would be the legitimate heir.
That was, if the next emperor didn’t have children either.
In any case, it was a much better position than being a511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9PcZou9Sw
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSItpIr5Qd
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2UYwYtYzy
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno7kXgmm04
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNtO6jAWnS
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDuWZ3fyK4
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsdZu9JE6a
because Lin Han Xing was an ambitious man. He would not let go of this chance.
He looked at the two sons that Lin Han Xing had. Lin Zi Xuan511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznuG5LIXXY
was a bit old while Lin Hu Xi did have suitable age gap with Princess Ning.
“What do you think of Lin Han Xing’s sons?”
Lin Xie Ya’s expression faltered when she heard that. She511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpBVlmBcrM
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3hXNim6z3
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxwfeSWhFN
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tACSt3jKi
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRdUV0ZG5b
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvV6uPo4Hv
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI9lSWbiNx
gathering power under him.
“Wouldn’t it be reasonable to have him responsible for her?”
Lin Xie Ya couldn’t find any word to retort. After all, the511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKTGuoET3L
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡielwVQ3WOL
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFMtCckhAC
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCYxImB0Pd
owner of the cup, this turned into a problem.
Many people would be talking about this matter.
“I wouldn’t mind.” Prime Minister Feng stood forward.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3pogVtooQ
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleQukSvnoq
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4pCfV1dk1
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMiNslaxvX
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U1qK9lSiV
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmqywed4KI
father said. He didn’t want to be with a mute! “Father, I…”
“Quiet!” Lin Han Xing glared at his son.
Lin Hu Xi shut his mouth unhappily. He didn’t want to be511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxMXxDUhEU
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUhtzhzIeE
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLTPPVzYwt
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlJ9Oxxcz4
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HppDJJDTk
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzdSWOYaZg
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu2FjFYPIB
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1E2zQTZow
Ning.”
