Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzBXBodUVO
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsY6in69Ks
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXj9nkjpYY
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IZMX82AhW
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDepq9ZSQAe
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LGHak2C64
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaINosSzPb
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DGfDT5CqI
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 low357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhRj9OnJqQ
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzsBfI9aaQ
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxVWuPOH5X
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBWumKEbvo
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZERG6zR3rw
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtvDspGzf2
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OWGzcIbQ0
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJvkIJvEeV
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUCpKpF0nm
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nJXuLAqoh
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dBeo3zWqw
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzEp6FSdXx
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhRtFY1HAV
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Pl02zzCa
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopoOVvO0Cv
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCMqIgdRd1
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9kSHXPt6w
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlgoCv7s4F
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEvqEpegrZ
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdjWowH2G8
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Hdw9zmRz
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXOX4GxNfy
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfADkzos45g
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvOIRHVdw8
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMqL2ISn8E
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7EREhHkmG
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3CrDizQgH
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFledncXzQ
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa6OQW8YYz
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpgpe9X2xi
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1mXvY7yrV
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuPqgMhMaR
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1yNvehbmf
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV9aQ7kiq1
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlejChbchu
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMbzllvECR
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 a357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygbpIOdAZE
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMreqMAnHw8
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2eNHp6cy3
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivHwjTyJXe
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP1nko8S2v
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMuRFIEj9L
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M67J9YM37
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 Xuan357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2wqf3x1e9
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. She357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnkqmORmvv
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELk6Hkq4Ym
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDxt1Cwtpf
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sO7kajGSN
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhHDowmUSv
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCBsNcq578
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw9zEEvDl9
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, the357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMtthFblvi
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCskMqFIcoq
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7cVLcMFE0
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PbnnX7b5L
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpErBELAqe
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf2WJgfM4v
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6VjcH10Gm
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YOmAJAhvp
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqdshiSCEd
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EzNPTB14s
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 be357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb5NRGrBzL
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM5Y2XGyY3
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpXQVlS4H7
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4qBv457WB
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMT26AmtTE
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxfuuUptm3
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrakrqhh8J
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQHqRhzCNW
Ning.”
