Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdle5Gk8d2
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX14ndVRTf
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAkjlZrPmw
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXseOGKdMv
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatLaedFmPf
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wZvAySo4g
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHZXlPAAxZ
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8nRu99lUZ
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 low443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2X03Beyq9
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg8dopMQCt
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBih8axdhh
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZVQWY0bKg
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLfKOptNJ6
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhbEtxr8Gy
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLULiiKbF7
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75NcnHDW1R
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjZNQfxhS2
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO525WP4oye
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDEeVNCkeu
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSrAeImFJE
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAW3dHYXXm
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvInUwE0CF
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCqURZFEDb
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbCsvk4yh1
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2lYKVqaMW
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWzocDf5w4
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkaJgzg46X
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHrV2CbqRY
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFo5kZcOXd
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrzKNEBril
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2LX7TcSTv
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8mlTlpx8V
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRhYjrJ4nN
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A8inAR8OE
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV06hiLLoQ
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpMZ3kYCCt
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyJZYsVCze
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJw115ThZH
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5EEyCJkn4
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqWwpNO15j
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡithk9ePRXu
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUeIKpjr0v
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy3GABlp3B
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQYY7IkI7E
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 a443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCRsonMcTs
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hO6j01iX9
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6yTRccO6F
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI1fBUtsGV
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiiXVIazgE
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko7EsRDS5Z
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79HdnLsVDD
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 Xuan443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjJqxcp0kv
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. She443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsLJ6iiD9n
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpZUB1ABDk
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq137iukxLT
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJOW2BD8bl
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAR57NMNOx
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3TbnNNqTp
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2w30DfsCu
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, the443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrpHMTaw3f
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWA4m4QGmm
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyrSgvzKhI
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes4Ls2n3W4
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcnQW9nT5Q
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGwr7l0QTv
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hOsLobZQm
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtRi52otj4
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIOEalNrbm
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAw3oTPbZH
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 be443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed5y8DDGf2
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAXT0qxYRh
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyio0FGY62
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eikkSh4LZ
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvluW26cpUL
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYUx6A7LTO
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAsQmVx7dL
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UF7EsHsdf
Ning.”
