Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAlkHyVP4a
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFgGYnokKK
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDiu0yzosi
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4mDyOzhHK
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6pFgKVVUE
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nBKKxtv3W
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq61uLzoN9
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWua52wlovz
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 low334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckp71xvpV7
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuGs6mZVPd
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yHuK1R4cC
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8MqAyWjCc
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwtwOH2zUy
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAHWqzF2tC
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfkbQZbSHz
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW7GZyWb1L
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mkkltqCWt
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTUj6UZKJe
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0aJYgcMuJ
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC6Namn0cI
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWL8c4T21b
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTXmwXNP0y
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjpnaOR5JY
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIbwoGTif
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwLLaGQfYb
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISznn3kQft
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsFioqCEIz
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdpLridUEp
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazhJ8t3tS0
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFPrU1pm6o
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Srt5nCYlJ
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDHqREP0vA
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnwldwiVWS
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhQ6NepjnY
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZbj6yabBc
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hNP7GcANw
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFg9rRwzSL
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ546J3HiPqu
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aRUY0QblF
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDKEUK1faO
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6dtNofdZP
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlMxapKrUg
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp3POf25f3
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohVrNoesFC
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 a334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF61YS7WpCS
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakqUxBlnZd
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cnbOWqmic
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBURO7hSlDs
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2pbiHZ4o0
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysCWjQKQJ5
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClEbhyvmq3
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 Xuan334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4UDlWVKRh
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. She334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M5IDr7keW
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES11gylGnD
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkPwFjI4v
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW4qcuvsah
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfobhjb4c3
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vw0LjZb3R
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkfqcKQvBr
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, the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoHpdKOk1s
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXeubTE6fC
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAl7HsyZ8Q
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnReO7bY8t
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.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX3x5bUtSU
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ873aR7zBoc
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgzLE4TT5o
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAocUMcSc6K
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmMF5p1Fwp
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIzloicuSv
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 be334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4kwQtcmEr
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8HcQpJWJB
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1n30mD90A
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL9F3MbvOL
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGhyiVWnlT
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebBomLp8NZ
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WrSzt0jN7
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOMuUYgbFb
Ning.”
