Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA0I2m1peM
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVqxZzehK9
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsz5NknPlZ
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6GHrngt2B
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIVKz8myYI
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eibeO1U8X
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ifIzVvSiQ
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg1lLBru4K
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 low396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aLXu5eOdX
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmJs1pBzw4
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4sv4K8omj
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxmrG9h8av
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxvpIZIThs
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAPvBAcMVE
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sY9TMmnlL
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtjfFiuqAB
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjkEJovgfC
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriSMRuEmvl
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvuTIV3Bwo
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRY6NF0atf
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvafpVYw8H7
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrRBSiAsaX
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZOfuJ0Lly
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LkHwFA1tS
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Pz8xsJEq
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaPHZuhXuw
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z4H0Q2gig
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihjNHtYh1e
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLMUimPRLo
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvkTQgbkGQ
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn22gbEXsHn
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdasEiWsiVB
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09DHtK70B0
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RHCy2ioWF
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YFhfia0II
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWwuSUEl6t
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zyweHHHoL
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQIavKQKms
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliVROyT9qL
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlkf70uPCt
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ef7WMhz4M
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqatL1g7mi6
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBK6rbI415
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HzegobiCr
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 a396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl06UUDojf
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPmCVYTwMd
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOLTBeA8N9
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYFrP0B5Db
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLUKe55gI0
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oTOSFQdIE
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneYX2PHJBM
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 Xuan396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNIoTGCnSN
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. She396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCgKooSPyb
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSgemanRqv
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy68xmxbMV6
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWDEXhvWlC
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X2zFD2SZi
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Nns4kvCX
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xjNsW1Z2n
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, the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mKYrFLZ3H
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3yr3BHXQ5
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo5t8WUmi4
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl6prbwPOo
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJyawkwNmQ
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cARk0Jb2x
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhry8jrdrYs
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgZcQUv9No
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5toYsTwesJ
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRQ0yPFkqC
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 be396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5K4GeAR1M
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkTfh9Nyxc
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvpoVw2slb
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7jcqsLD8P
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1wtz0rp1F
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9LYamtatc
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9dGGsuwvX
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYL3MGEX22
Ning.”
