Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gOYRtNtFo
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEfBJeanbQ
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN6C36xHdk
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cck9mt5zB
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgj2Vpac9T
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8osD8lx7xY
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwlSANFpIw
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr4cbKAS5y
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 low482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF8pTraaex
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHg9Yazawy
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWdO9jPEvt
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15HuhD4OGt
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv6tcvbQ5S
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpsrOdRZ61
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttsSqhY3Ul
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC7wkhLgSs
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhhgMaQH4r
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz4IuY2qGc
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORQx7Wgp7O
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQFRsMBmJk
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD87KhlKqL4
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIH7Kted5L
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwQXFyuO3O
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS2l30XSCm
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k1vVnsY9L
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu02fXVc3r
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZkBX2r4kh
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4MmvXLaLw
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBA5mvaOVT
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCfvVeAmJl
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ191rCPcD4O
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GjwnM3hHF
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUjSMUAF4V
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrZgJRD17
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddo0cRItcS
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0WEbWiXA4
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG0XkKyaBK
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejh7Ft7qyA
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIKWOTrHym
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9VaCgCRm0
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbhvqu6oOr
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihJmmRAdlt
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwBmtZpbSi
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySOm17UcMv
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 a482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1psDtjlWLv
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHto5TZQ1U
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC0YRu5oSE
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDBy55IKRy
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaWPJs76rp
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzSUz6TUbO
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKMFoPraMS
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 Xuan482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9HJhwPYgE
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. She482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpcNpOJ2A
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDc0di97rq
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWdxcrur2Z
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggAy9DbVf9
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZPSfLknF7
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYi1w7y5F8
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYSFZ7z3hM
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, the482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISrmTsGizJ
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6lf1U69j8
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHHnughwOl
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZb4ScvA9n
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQUCeoO5gM
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KCVmvhOEw
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7oItYYf5E
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡityBebgKl4
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhljjjv27cw
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf3JnFVlpw
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 be482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkdjJoAI8t
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OtF4EwSi5
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIvdhT0O5G
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfduf0oDTnJ
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYalf79tbzd
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgkth1sLds
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE6eivhc4N
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfjCkT2lwJ
Ning.”
