Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYZRxHaisc
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssY87VScNu
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7dw0fkIKD
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N5M4Y24sm
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyS3bMWjcQ
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXlNfeLlRS
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPQ43q4j8h
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0MfK69JSK
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 low530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6SIeKFcpc
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXZD2z4nXQ
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3ftFaIhS
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4axhHtXpWS
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEadfmWbKy
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hULueZE04
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZQna0uedb
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtBxaYbpAg
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4rrj88qu
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoOWqg6czT
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcTgDGBemd
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8BsewBjxU
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O1M9j4hMk
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy8uWPvDjG
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9L81ZrfzN
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg07INJwop
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuwdWqlLAh
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrTwc2t9qM
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq2pvqVs80
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhCc1z31Q0
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MXPNOKxn6
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQyO0jOmQU
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvFAgwUHjV
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodgnLWZlGh
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSeHo8rhLw
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OPEDbCFFt
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiRwEIhv7H
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKE5n0c2e3
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY85axHWh8E
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYVFyhtSUD
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaVSb8v3qZ
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGNotaP0Op
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v7uGZVWQ4
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlAfsdNoIw
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXVAS3fQ3x
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZJ9OmCTCm
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 a530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjTxqtdzZr
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIxuft4hpP
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgujjcPxgLh
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpTheqIfB7
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaChonmzS8
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZSws7umgw
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGVsk676QY
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 Xuan530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp6FmBvHpb
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. She530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF7MEvIugP
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZxGMfbfd6
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpDdKjfBKW
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjQAH02DxH
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97f1pnEcwi
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTFYP48VBY
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW29E3oL3E
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, the530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp44cvH7B9
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcH97LLRYh
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcENVT5owE
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJNvOhnvtt
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMR1U9JNnF
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxCYzCsKhQ
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraAZ21tCzH
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pxIf73kDI
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATAvcltnjY
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR8VebSrRd
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 be530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdoi4STbmF
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMBHPc5MwB
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAh61HlXAA
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwSeDpazYE
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x2cqPCDfM
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbYXmJSWEp
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlokClRZF4M
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8y4czLs44
Ning.”
