Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo0kRR4Yli
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGs8rC7zMM
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC85jrJL21f
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2spU5EU5E3
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYVQCoGwLm
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cfKjWWlGX
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf8fGmAC4L
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oec1gETCI
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 low425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pPBiVSqyi
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGdDsyKlDA
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzfNveM4Wu
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuC660xs3E
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQxctcYxpc
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8JSndMJho
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmEoQxildB
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bfEh2k2ih
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvf2hqcw7o
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgSOlejGvN
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74hTNqrufk
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkm5I6LKo6
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIN3h822TU
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7LZOp7Ku1
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzvcGG0E0t
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCz4idEzFI
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJujx1i43d
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1svujVAlW
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx2e7dSq1v
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6vut4bjUF
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT4P6Us60Z
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A4MZPg1jX
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTniWtQ8l7
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkojtQrWb2W
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cn06OOwMd
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyU5hCIW8E
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbNzxaOVXQ
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFni5hpYaRa
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFZrphGSnQ
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovCPsN3ECL
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeyWO0BgyT
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtksFUcgo
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4R6HPLD06
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPTazAzwsu
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG1AwzCZvC
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBYvcOEBEj
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 a425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAZfwk7ATB
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fg3Plldbn
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX9fw5oQsQ
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMgvlLF4AF
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hgJ5OnQ1E
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMICcSClLFp
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zKw8aW3ht
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 Xuan425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA9emed0UD
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. She425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIswE9AoAzC
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauq0CWncDQ
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZIN1lIuLR
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUMrmdd2is
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiqMEcIeUj
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOCAL66YqA
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqZ2sCGynS
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, the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaj12dpKSD
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKhONyuLYR
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA6txMXHgB
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuMfnfFBOJ
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnIuHEUWQr
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjPrQT2vHd
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywlhrf88Kg
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgQtnsaPS
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT8Dwz6lnF
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sNOOVPBvH
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 be425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1LJiYNgid
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQrfaAe7bH
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiczSN9ZOke
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJr4ceDTla
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3hBj0pkT9
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXQaUYc6sk
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD0Lo8WW9W
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36B3YkWyi7
Ning.”
