Prang!
The sound of porcelains broken could be heard from the main423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNhsDqK3B9
palace. The eunuch and servants were all trying their best to reduce their423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iTPF4sP0X
presence. They were all afraid that they would be the next target.
“Hiding poison in the new tea that I have prepared, how423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJau8ypicO
bold.” The cold and chilling voice caused everyone to tremble in fear. They all423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XC9nC9M5c
knew that the Empress was angry. To think that the new type of tea that she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnxrlZGGjx
introduced in her last tea party was now used to hide a new type of poison.
“We have already arrested the culprit, Your Majesty.” Prime423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfO4dXTozW
Minister Feng Hou Zheng cupped his fist. His veins were bulging because he was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9wXneAm1d
angry that their first target ended up being his daughter. Even if he wanted to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QQbGqxDB9
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 low423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ePUlsMAv2
tone. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Even though he was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCDauj88ZV
displeased that the accident occurred during the Imperial Party, he was someone423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAxXtq8Afw
who knew how to control his emotion well.
“It’s a fast acting poison that worked like acid,” The423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVG2WfuJaG
Imperial Doctor replied respectfully.
“How’s Princess Ning?”
“Her life is saved.” The Imperial Doctor was silent for a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFbk5kqDW5
while. “However, the poison had damaged her vocal cord. It’s unknown whether423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4EDO7jzOu
she can recover or not.”
Vocal cord.
“Aaaaaa!” Wailing cries exploded from the side as Lin Xie Ya423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowAlIAK6Tu
displayed her acting skill as a caring mother. She looked at her brother and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs7tt7IUVN
begged, “Your Majesty, please get justice for my poor daughter. She’s still423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegUsmnvuHT
young and should have a bright future, but this will make her life hard…423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo9kIBgzo7
(omitted 10,000 words).”
Listening to her description, it would seem as if she was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcfH3Bv6sU
truly a caring mother who was aggrieved for the injustice her daughter423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUaOJ4jy5U
suffered. Though, those who were listening to her rambling would also wonder423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjDYILCX0h
when she would end her complaint. The length alone was enough to make eight423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh3TMlUiJt
legged essay!*
Prime Minister Feng Hou Zheng also nodded strongly, acting423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDTgQiJjub
as the most caring father in the world.
Only Feng Quan sneered in her heart because she knew that423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr9s9w5M2M
her parents didn’t even spend more than an incense stick of time in their423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOD69BgfJt
entire life to stay near her younger sister. They didn’t even acknowledge her423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6wxT0SpSe
existence until recently when this accident occurred.
“I’ll definitely get justice for her.” The Emperor raised423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY15MUeQjm
his hand, effectively stopping Lin Xie Ya from her ongoing performance. He423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejYRnLB96b
turned his head to look at the side where Lin Han Xing was standing. “How do423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd37koLg4sj
you plan to repay this favor, Lin Han Xing?”
At this moment, Lin Han Xing was cursing his wife (Lin Zi423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQuM4B7lpX
Xuan’s mother)’s eight generation. He knew very well that Princess Ning was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VWpwCC4zc
poisoned because she was drinking the cup that was supposed to be Lin Zi Xuan.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY8GGA6Pgb
If it was not because of her, the one who wouldn’t be able to speak would be423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx7YlGMR2e
his son.
If he had to say, he would rather have his son turned mute423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd3yqEc6v0
rather than getting thrown into this mess!
“Your Majesty, this servant will definitely pay enough423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8aFso1Mti
compensation for the damage on Princess Ning.”
Lin Xie Ya looked at the man with indignation. “Compensation423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVuI5C6PWP
alone wouldn’t be enough. Who would want to marry my daughter when they know423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAFA6UN2mM
that she’s mute?”
Lin Han Xing was silent. He turned his head to look at his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlssdLA59oQ
second son, who muttered under his breath, “Who would want to be with a mute?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwpfHMZvNO
She wouldn’t be able to do her job properly and will be nothing more than a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfDEUUQNPb
hassle.”
He nearly kicked his own son and screamed at his ear that it423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVWsiCbT3A
was actually an opportunity for him to get close to her. After all, his sons423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxldkXIxb9Z
didn’t have the legitimate right to inherit the throne despite having the same423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCIUqJRrzp
surname. But if they got married with one of the princesses, the next423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz7bSzCI6W
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 a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3bW0BDndr
prince from different surname like this. They would be able to gain more423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mIg8ZGhBh
authority and also amassed even greater wealth compared than before.
“In that case, would you like for me to bestow a marriage423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy53bxfA0vv
agreement for your daughter, Imperial Sister?” the Emperor looked at his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpz6CbXwvM
cunning sister.
Lin Xie Ya bowed politely. “Your Majesty, that would be for423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSQN3TAHf3
the best.”
The Emperor looked at the eager Lin Han Xing, who nearly423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKswfstk9r
couldn’t hide his thoughts. He naturally knew what was in that man’s mind423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNEXi50rOB
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 Xuan423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVWCNUZ5HN
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. She423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJJ8IoGcQU
didn’t like this man and naturally knew that if her daughter got married to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAgdppWlXW
them, there was not much benefit that she could get. “Would it be appropriate,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGBrhUIrxd
Your Majesty?”
“The one who caused your daughter to turn mute is Lin Zi423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw6csHD1Ng
Xuan.” The Emperor looked at the quiet young man, who stood at the back. Even423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufwv9qvd1I
though Lin Zi Xuan was also Lin Han Xing’s son, he wasn’t favored and even423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lAH2kOkJ1
hated. He, being the Emperor, didn’t have any plan on allowing any of them423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn7K0sYSxQ
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, the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KtAqater7
other nobles had seen her daughter took the cup that belonged to Lin Zi Xuan.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rWKcqGF7G
They were cousins, so while it might be a bit inappropriate, they could chalk423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4QZ2bTxHJ
it to a child’s mischievousness.
But when the young princess was poisoned rather than the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDt4xROtJi
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5CWg86taP
“However, I still would like to have them to give compensation for the damage423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpHdnmAG1v
done to my beloved daughter.”
“Compensation is only natural. In that case…”
“Wait, Your Majesty.” Lin Han Xing’s palm was sweating.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ8dVmR1nA
“While it was true that the cause of the matter lies in Lin Zi Xuan, but he’s423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAFjOdhKZH
far older than Princess Ning. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for my second423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AT6PuUXP0
son, Lin Hu Xi to replace him?”
Beside him, Lin Hu Xi’s eyes widened when he heard what his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqclk87jlcU
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 be423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaO0jOepRN
together with a mute. Not to mention, if he were to marry an Imperial Princess,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZWjI7HfWh
he couldn’t take any concubine. What was so fun of staying together with423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVqEEv3D59
someone who couldn’t communicate well with him?
He didn’t want it!
The Emperor watched their interaction then turned his head423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aA11LijI0
to look at Lin Zi Xuan. He had heard that this young man had some achievement423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWmwq64T5
at the battlefield, but it was limited to that.
There was nothing much remarkable from what he had done so423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGWzxN9Wv
far. “What do you think, Commander Zi Xuan?”
Lin Zi Xuan raised his head then cupped his fist. “This423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32JTrbgAxC
prince will obey your order Your Majesty and take responsibility for Princess423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gL9xgSBza
Ning.”
