Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwazQrNmUk
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojL5oRAREY
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdLlAtNJxM
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbdZ9choku
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9P5M4MJWm
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN1B6nDsqo
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbyWsAE3yD
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn983UvVK2
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 low498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQLpBntDa
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVXqqpV7QT
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtuoBbf6oC
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HxJYnCS9I
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUdmGSkKhZ
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKorSwiZ3fz
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB1I6JjkuR
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9giJumboF
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA2TS3duTd
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfP746andK
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz1IGIyF3d
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxFBW4cjtd
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajYM8ge4Oo
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhRo28HUlN
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjNLhchkSj
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9dDqWg8Ab
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4wu9FtUuK
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpiriYHDqR
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuMwhTlSuT
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKKN2QWeBD
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyv7lmvUYA
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JLvkSftvT
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOiSwvAdTw
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhWEW35Yjf
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgJQcmk4PM
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAghakOjkc
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXad28Jbo9J
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvTcFRFFQD
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8GdaYozh8
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczQh5EbJFY
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreGNEprL9C
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFhoJK1vEO
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoZdQWUBmu
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEAsTnXXRG
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoteTwRjd1p
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p08rLKgok
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 a498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TqCPY9vs1
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ACZFPytB
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBkDJpv0AD
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf5Fbe9av5
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQD9rLu3Ij
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3WPL3tlJq
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYSbtk8J65
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 Xuan498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaA1QohJkQ
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. She498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaibusSAzR
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rwmojZaKE
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfDUxOolqj
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pibs4ti7K
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7s1C57tZS
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VtgVmNeW1
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41OI2Rsjom
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, the498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanZjWMpqqg
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmEC5uZWmv
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNFw8VF5Dj
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZvhnvLN64
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.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0EcLk9N3i
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeafK3jZA2
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nR0You3fI
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQbMcjNFPv
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPua5XMKr1w
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQfaXlDXM
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 be498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhVcp9BOvQ
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcp1KOjfUQ
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbqPllfLrV
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SbHDg1Gap
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahBrTGn0yh
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFfaGPdYyc
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXMGA2SZSp
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoJcHBKZLk
Ning.”
