Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGzDoyzMPh
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCvObhZ30v
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg1RTQoqVy
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE82dIEqxe
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZkRqs9Nn
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjunPa78Jp
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvjfJKNUlo
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LWRQrWRwM
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 low444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANGQvTnAQw
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovxQPH7tkv
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Coq17XFuF
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DytHI7gGN
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ZxQsiRyE
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3aLg6CuB9
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI6fNJskmb
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIGreqxzUX
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawPJr3UUpS
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakPTlQHRMy
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQTuCaOkkd
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIXVR0xLBn
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphNAlKUJnL
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTweVV6UJtN
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrvTJqVEcq
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsYGOKF3zh
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI9x3Kcj3Q
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLF3iQLqcZ
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszoPXM6Pfe
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5UMlQkWWy
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqrIE24LYU
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx72IZD4GkI
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxmRTsx46o
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OYdSLedUP
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHAHZY9dwS
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepn638KTew
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9xxvvv8qu
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRPdWeeYB1
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Dyx54BsP
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3GMzS0E4H
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZPJCVPtih
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvHWCpMisu
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdoP8v9ohY
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXnVo7RbSH
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6GGF0Xr8L
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMXtWTvuwQ
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 a444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTZ9O3MI1i
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFZoznFN78
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w0ChdQxXa
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqWXYuvMjS
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRNN648kyw
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzTdFI5CVe
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi09HEjESUN
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 Xuan444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iwDtXvIpE
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. She444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMpATrkNHv
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pNYeSS2Ha
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsJnK0jmp2
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjtGpT2K9t
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19wgvcRVuL
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNVA0JKDz7
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuNww4eIN0
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, the444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpDNuzziiA
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQeCbvdWt1
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZMXdrzisj
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNXfqPbOJD
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqUSCAC4qx
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Scoj5Nxe
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuIwey9I85
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivkh0YSi9
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqtdlvtPbQ
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5WClKKlCl
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 be444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVIJLp3p5j
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJx4vjZt5Q
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJF7hQ1Zf9
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiFSU77hgM
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOF4Y2YIY
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLo3iycaIX
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR5Ein1gES
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEOM2I9RL2
Ning.”
