Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc455PgqA4B
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SDHxMpMqZ
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2OoHLocYI
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4n2iBzJet
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhstfhkPp9T
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf1Y1pMrEv
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPKQwSguaF
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVc0IbAfzW
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 low445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms3EpSUrW0
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzOPfC2jMh
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Usb1V7pza
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrNjwEjZyB
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4cKggsZNB
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHj4XS1YAn
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNivSQIm3Fg
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbYU6Mh9hy
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o5bst4Jqy
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFim5Bz3fA
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMCcXS6xfA
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdsNJOFzaF
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HkzjwhYfy
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Eatd7Bmg
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ377C8xz46
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd8KnSDevn
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPpWy357nx
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrk3pZZmNj
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbxKCRGBqt
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4aE9RlqFt
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdny0AL2S
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpdgKgNXev
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMONDCkYvSr
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKvtxgU9rF
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkYqUmniHz
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0EOWt3hzz
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR8oAZI9a4
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEdOCwFO80
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4AKEP3CWw
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmsF1P5ZNz
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1irbrzDZf8
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXosA85VKMY
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp75fM6Q3p
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymWHstKCHn
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe8vlFdVBk
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnONaVvFvO
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 a445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx73JCEMuh7
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UCG93cyYQ
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZC8jQEZFs
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup1jLx9HuZ
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrqzp0osJ9
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvH8W9hnMJ
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK0hdTspY3
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 Xuan445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYAwY8a7VO
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. She445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU4kJLLKUG
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6wpbbBXIK
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUFwyQfu6x
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYatKYn0AA
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLID1uy0hpF
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TK09FSudB
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn0I5SfH64
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, the445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGIbIsVObB
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9MYkrE6HG
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjBJYhVvuN
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw8tsyFA4i
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9v4oBk356
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NT0Zk2Npc
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGDTRp4rwn
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6gfTQqeDl
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTbI7pvgjj
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKm8fRovuC
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 be445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQyO6raMKH
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ulZIN8ScR
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtzWgdlhcq
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHTmBUHKsM
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNu6bmSwjw
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB5vO5ob5w
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRM3S1AIBI
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVCHytsC4h
Ning.”
