Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItIlIMflNZ
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzZ7d2fxpI
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXzRQ3Uva
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSk44migYV
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6v41FSGso
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcOFVbF1fh
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsiIknHGrZ
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21xcZrLMrE
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 low412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eFuJIY9Ur
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKAZq5QcmL
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUygsLsVQb
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6qWT5F8g0
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0qIXkAOjc
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBdRhoVBPq
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvC99prpKf
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJms1H567Nd
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mbn2zjWa7
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI1UlD6ZrO
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x31pIMGbq
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBbW9PSJNA
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudJxiBVhij
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KG2QdTrHS
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Vh5CqH4B
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ua11x6Ux1
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtar8CirSmq
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7GZfjmKpR
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTQ6mHHmRA
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s0OXs6zb7
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjk1WYZzmR
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHuc4ElrFy
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RLwAbxsSH
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAjTC6u7HL
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGzHcltcUA
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdG5U6Cbz8
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZH7tqTdR9
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhobkRU4WL
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgdPXexDVF
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMwV1HcBhI
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNLiW5oj4k
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZYS7O5HgL
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO8yj0yiWq
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCmGX4p2MG
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsan99qjJT
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOHqpC8WYm
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 a412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKeiN1Ba5Y
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhoF6UDsr
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L0oSsZE8m
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP0eqQf08X
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKse1mnk9R
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDBfBTWwDn
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNKqOBCMxD
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 Xuan412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL93iDxxUGR
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. She412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvkzOgN0CX
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo5AV8ifvW
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45IZmuj5Mk
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDDDbpK9Dy
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCflKA9qrC
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr9VnxnNki
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH87Z9vDaY
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, the412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GhACsrxik
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJBvoVikKz
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX67HR2yex
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREX6F16oEU
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY33NSrGv9
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TKWmSsKE
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH4NkHMBHF
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UL8zsM3Wn
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2EpOv6OcQ
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hyHEC8djX
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 be412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCj2NIEHyk
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwGiX7kB8k
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqNZOnO1xr
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKtqgTeOiz
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ880yUrGtyz
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11aeimFUgM
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRFKOQS936
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWfr5f2VLk
Ning.”
