Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ZtsUIZB5
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEymoXLGfd
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuMINil7bg
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nh9r7GBBi
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH04yveOOXw
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYOo4Qj2RC
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJHh4MayY5
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3iIHcGUbK
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 low465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSiOezUtMz
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvosGXdNGZ
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloyphdZuAM
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU5HfsuziW
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlALK8hdyHA
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiHmZPK4Ox
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4a6ziXYvn
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbo9UaWi9a
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0H5CYfeS9
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesKHwNMUC7
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYEKjiVmxo
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FTWIrKQEA
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzI8eJZKlJ
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg1qV0ddr5
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEydfvnZ83
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCLeHxMpmW
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVFYgderZz
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnSHlCZmGc
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUCJtsIP0B
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHSb2r5wkp
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCd540URV6
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c2baBNqFd
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6yQCAjhvd
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBdvMyIjsz
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ZUVL7g9z
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjuFFO92Fl
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhjIC9Wnzj
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgQ1IjvbC2
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDWeFSDaxe
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SXT0Oj6eM
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7otWJFGgfL
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqf3ULvHAe
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ60JgcNnP
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYavlxfTnx
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUWKrPohWp
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTJWfKhxDt
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 a465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFzziZrKBp
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanWjPpvSTM
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lAruBuuyB
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDegJhPS07G
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZI2gXaCxu
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3QQBnGSV7
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgYrjdvk43
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 Xuan465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlvigKbto4
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. She465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kIu98kHDV
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeyOjn5zDL
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rEcuGtSG3
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXg6C9ZFUd
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NMwp7arw8
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclJ0fs0Ao5
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdiylhexdZ
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, the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQkvQoeXnf
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpO67uOZN7
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvYTWmr9Ps
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hillp6zZw
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoLD87ZK9k
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBFvojIDia
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedEcaxkQq4
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJD5XLpaBa
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx8btBOnPA
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXD2p5zRs7
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 be465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhS4NXu3BA
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7afn7YTHh
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqSVEad5uM
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5168lmoWm
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPhHC5Re4e
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mgJpqmO0Z
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUIlJODhxM
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbqIhwHmky
Ning.”
