Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNkfx1t2db
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLs2Mx0nhv
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvz9WrEwQK
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IByXFfhhE
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaUvfflvDl
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsTAdjYP7R
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO9nqYmhvd
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3wfhDxwCf
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 low299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR49DAZJXVe
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA06Q6wRz81
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAP0YM85Tx
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrn0LZT3Y7
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsBloLhZuF
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEemdM2DMqW
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKWu4LnYFj
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuFebw8sLa
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJizdGJSeos
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ATMOEY0A
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbCOcPhCIc
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHgxZCEc07
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI1EA5XN2U
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHYyKz3zQ6
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyE1GvlWAt
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQL4m3ppNO
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnUbuHrprs
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrAE239pJG
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGdNRTxFD0
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpmU2WsYhM
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwPsdanQnF
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfvuhbmlj5
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZXUUFvvcB
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXjQl7kcma
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhPwB8tOn2
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE5rbqK4Q7
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY55CA9HYx
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxtGvS25KU
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KEqhNWxBB
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiabkmWN3so
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyPhOXEOKM
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCNz1NMlUS
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRhXgaoJul
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPPksiMiFl
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bj6XLBEOe
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F0icpryob
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 a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopbqvhqwiv
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cwrdkKYs0
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL3V77wlUS
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXOteKa60z
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AfGvKSEIG
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡophOLL15q3
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MR4D77rYs
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 Xuan299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmYtlBAqtz
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. She299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPh0ho25O6
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡron2ygS83h
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVeuekaryI
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYMfbApLi0
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD796Tmj3uS
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtop8AfXSXv
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiLaed0wLZ
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, the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9UP6NzM8s
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24UagixA93
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9erVd3Fbj
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PqlhGghn4
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqUqNFcBKV
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin3JqYAl04
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTloeJeStWG
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGCuIzrZt1
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVZLxvganm
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrZunYjUBw
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 be299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIh6CsvO1I
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9yiKLNhKR
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpurhZJK6Iq
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vIcOj8IYt
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihDD0yOqxy
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCP8q6rd3c
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvxvw7OofO
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8JEhfJzny
Ning.”
