Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQc6O7kbSR
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxymI4c1q9O
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAjLpVPeEG
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo5WberlZh
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopZZnefQ3T
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejEaau9Qrt
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5WrlBypUC
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3vlF0RYgq
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 low406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKKNCGyPah
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2LNwVjvc3
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGOHbU7wby
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlev3XzB1Z5
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtAwAurBRK
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWg671NmZE
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYul0UGtew1
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yTQ2wDuLf
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKostpjC0T7
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vBY4Iwz5W
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtByMxC3z1x
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37hL5AzZ70
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA6czYe6cP
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgEApa9qg0
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38JauGKEE9
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEWch1VonQ
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1fTIN7Aqj
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQwh3Wq4XM
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKQVq3fWbe
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Nbd7dXqf
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4UcD068CK
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEVn6cxFHr
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLSIefJagJ
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo0Pd6mF6l
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6oRnBtmfs
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qidxtMzCf
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt9wpiFi4v
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtslSem2RxF
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdeBVpEWOD
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLusTu8gbE
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWQYzxr0Ou
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLTqkI2uow
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWaFgWSzlD
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbnyaB1nzm
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JRIY19VpZ
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshex3bHYKj
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 a406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUQmuGXPuj
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBSfD5Fgsl
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHWKnEkPIM
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDUmDgE7gl
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG8RnRv1xW
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1RQD5lNY
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oY64XtsTv
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 Xuan406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw9LtgJ6WY
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. She406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX4gFTQtlx
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8KrEVGVW8
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzrSwTuDkl
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9pDMn4oyl
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsQNYedqRY
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgcaZZoy4k
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwD9ouk2La
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, the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpLUG3KSq1
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrjOUDUmae
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT4MTA9vdK
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q46AqY9Ac
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBiybGI650
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItuP0hvyll
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVfClQeBGT
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapvkEIdi38
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQqPX6JP8P
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCkr0dzrfw
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 be406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPMjFuWbMf
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlGCBRmgLH
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHjHojlUGl
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD5FsA7gTK
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJOG6vCLnU
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyjKll3nh1
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkONZH0BUQ7
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuEb9XAscp
Ning.”
