Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA7nyljUho
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EqxudGx7w
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAI1WIM4W1
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmJWApZ4uY
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgFcqKGECj
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWCKpaA4Nd
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfJ7bbnWbK
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsRPcpwlEI
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 low486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklfyI8zAk4
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahK50Fani7
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU05FoBzJS
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3SCBezQKG
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfz8gs4u8v
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJINvhJPg
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03eZRXW5dY
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e7MuSRI5J
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZZDnJCMm6
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUtPQRwY0k
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mgeZ2Tz1W
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9nw5EcRmw
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3yQmsBlEc
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6B3JptKNk
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9rerFUd5L
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLQdj3QTGJ
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbe1T8vbvN
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6pyxKEbW3
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yokOodrYw
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y6aep08wL
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6gqECKB51
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9LJA6Teqa
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sRDK5z5Lf
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69rkg8OzmX
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRvA2FCD9Z
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJB3SHk6gH
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUECgIXjvJ
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEpBhsGgRM
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABv7I2iMfn
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yRQkAz6OX
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbGnIHBTf3
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vx3quVbH5
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0ywb6eTB
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkebWMFLzZF
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ6QYtrwlL
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtH9dewg2b
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 a486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUWmPfjvmq
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvbjojL5sR
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJlDOrYxRe
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuVVl8jJbk
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVX4MkVdKc
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzcRLqlVTc
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fi1CxHUBA
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 Xuan486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMgPWZYnJJ
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. She486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQxRHe0GVX
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNkTG9cnFB
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO0KMqBr35
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiThnm6OoTL
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZNXpG6Ftn
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeQHT5vHYE
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h6cqMKart
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, the486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe21ojxDV7H
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAhJFF4Swc
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpYSY7YdCm
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQdLdUkj1e
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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJwcsMN6gG
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpnaH0GXUl
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXelUiCK0zX
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahfWlyakop
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DB0VGUiwd
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzfAxszUDG
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 be486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL6zw85Cjk
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyaoxawuZH
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJPZ14QN7k
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXN9uHbFmJ
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjqTZhGbxX
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66yWXlovkM
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqxK19h8ts
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQStpZI0GBM
Ning.”
