Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNMs7PeB1w
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZ8vSU9c0
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpLZfOvbk6
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGdCuTuJRG
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL0vFaY4XJ
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvSAL6gCQf
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0RXy31d9j
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfduZeHfODl
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 low499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHgYoNopRj
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uswr9kAZC
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVnHMLtYYV
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuYJYlpJ4v
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nvRACogsp
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIaJwmcVfO
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh8xX1Mawj
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIHXo4xCTj
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQL6yPRWV0
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUeDtulJiF
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84fDUoLTLN
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68rYlzKOsc
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT5yceeP4f
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjp3JUbYpc
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3SVRTNlVV
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRtBeeEvou
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGjHki8gW0
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv8l603Xak
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf64902kuZ
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaqOTegvwB
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfhmIHX3Ye
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbcRGJvi6S
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9xGCOCDvF
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwWXR75WvD
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDVQnVqe1S
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjyaMBvkbg
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqvFRZJ1sq
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rNP7E9LUs
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdkO4QQL6f
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ZxJ9FOlS
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtBZWX8pMw
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3XTyc5LVW
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVxAgRDNVG
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND1EcfSzhG
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CHC8fPW91
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd2lsqi8yV
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 a499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniOnTnHx5Q
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmV6OCL2lS
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJITDCnYsIY
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6hndr7Wqo
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEff3yzpf0J
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E1wnwlF6R
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5raU1HPXK9
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 Xuan499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfhWzJ7Wbs
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. She499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjjMbOVwqC
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonYFS0CqsA
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0hkGFNSuv
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6kIEZGSTr
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmtjGL7S1c
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg9qQ07COx
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3m2v4ifNL
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, the499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmQXdTfbA0
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35wqpyBJGR
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfB03E7i9R
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j3HTZm8Cz
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9drddt1bS
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Hsqua3mM
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqnPozE2bC
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki7mmpn5Gi
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElhkhbpzrh
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bgPMRXsoH
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 be499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEzSVLH4sC
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVejR7U6bT
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNrnZAAvti
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Mos9N6nF
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeYlfw6Pz7
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cl4RmOVFI
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJgC5e6MYb
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReOKUafgIK
Ning.”
