Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYe4Rziiy
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfbiT0d9o
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH77haQkIp
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Mn2mXkYu
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYKiZN5g8J
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbqXzhDS9h
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynBdU9VmiX
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXIvZcllqm
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 low522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIByM9zGAP
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPCsBrERoO
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFTeKi9Shl
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Y8BGkcQ3
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IwBX6hGze
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIuzKTDGeh
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ318pApBSQY
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s7nu4vWuI
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKkxD0ffuX
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6FjZImOTy
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OSdSBuG8w
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BnkdwV76m
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YH4rQXDZG
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVQYf1wPiq
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuhPKDfTQQ
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VAXWgoyjS
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TinPQnQBy
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYUfhTvBBh
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyj47rkmfr
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczJK2Np0at
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYVKf6IdPl
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinBE8J81Cy
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2JnNDzRJR
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBflodYR1l8
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uBHev8o9o
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9k0zxP1Wo
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1vCbDpklc
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorC7F5oLoh
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M8bxe4nVq
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEBGaL9eGj
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLxgXD3LiQ
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2crdDxKJRZ
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPh0w3djYf
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqOXBwxKe4
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0kD6pNgC5
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8lofoE9ti
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 a522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09cRWrUXfX
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt79WCrw0h
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxPSYKIV5V
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I0Fq3TP86
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNv9kTYYp8
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzK3UQpJza
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPXb5FZ8Sx
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 Xuan522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I2PxYIxGC
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. She522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJublumlDX
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVNBaNc9b6
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvtSscGHTa
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA800R6tgID
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxwWvjQkGK
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dgT8VfBjF
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZI3c9SLD9
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, the522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EjNsWua0R
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZFXWzchOZ
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOP7z16ZQd
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKJVWMdHc8
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.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Dobvxj2g
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPDFX4bglh
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVYqz2jYxA
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyxEY7i1Fp
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIB3OpblLl
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3WgimEUMH
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 be522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT3hEsUTmN
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovnf3uWSc1
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tcfyIjsZm
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQSA9OGBGC
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fddlbFspw
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PeAWJFiVa
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMELlKdPTH
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnFKwsm66T
Ning.”
