<span>Chapter 66 How is countering someone a crime? Part 2


    <span>Before Mu Zi Ling even got a chance to look at the person who was sitting on the


    <span>main seat when she walked in, she felt all the hairs on her body stand up.


    <span>This was her second timeing to the Shou An Pce. It was clearly the same


    <span>ce with the same people, but why does it atmosphere feel so different from before?


    <span>Mu Zi Ling unconsciously shivered and took a deep breath. Then she continued to


    <span>slowly walk towards the main seat.


    <span>Only now did she see the Empress Dowager who was sitting on the main seat up


    <span>above. She still looked as elegant and graceful as before, but her expression was


    <span>a bit different than before. This time she had on a serious expression with a smile


    <span>on her face. Her sharp gaze was locked onto Mu Zi Ling.


    <span>The Empress was also present, but her expression was a lot more calm than the


    <span>Empress Dowager’s, and it looks a lot better as well. She was also as elegant and


    <span>graceful as before, giving off an motherly image.


    <span>Looks like she has be a bit more open minded about Long Xiao Li being


    <span>locked inside his pce. She was even able toe and participate in this event


    <span>and pretend to be a good person.


    <span>When Mu Zi Ling walked to the main hall, she didn’t even get a chance to pay her


    <span>greetings before the Empress Dowager screamed, “Kneel down.”


    <span>The Empress Dowager didn’t say for who to kneel down, but everyone present


    <span>already knew who she was talking to.


    <span>However, the person who these words were directed to, Mu Zi Ling, was not even


    <span>startled by that cold voice. She arrogantly stood up straight and didn’t move. She


    <span>didn’t even n to pay her greetings anymore. Mu Zi Ling didn’t hide from the


    <span>Empress’s sharp, cold gaze and stared right back at her.


    <span>Kneel? She knows to kneel to the sky, the ground, and her parents. However, she


    <span>will never kneel down to the Empress Dowager. She has already offended the


    <span>Empress Dowager enough, so a bit more wouldn’t hurt.


    <span>However, Lin mama did something that didn’t go with her ns. Lin mama gave


    <span>the pce maids a look.


    <span>The two maids received the message and immediately walked up to Mu Zi Ling.


    <span>They each had a hand on Mu Zi Ling and tried to push her down. Mu Zi Ling’s two


    <span>hands were not strong enoughpared to the four that were going against her.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling clenched down her teeth and struggled for a bit, but at the end, she


    <span>wasn’t able to keep standing and kneeled down.


    <span>Seeing that Mu Zi Ling was still trying to stay arrogant while being forced to kneel


    <span>down, Lin mama started tough silently in her heart. She didn’t even forget to kick


    <span>her foot onto Mu Zi Ling’s back, so now Mu Zi Ling was truely kneeling down to the


    <span>Empress Dowager.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling yelped out in pain and started to curse underneath her breath. <span>Damn


    <span>servant, do you have to be so malicious?


    <span>A tiger who goes down the mountain would be insulted by dogs, she will just endure


    <span>this. That olddy better hope that the Empress Dowager will be able to kill her


    <span>today. If they ever give her a chance to escape, that olddy would be the first one


    <span>for her to target.


    <span>After the Empress Dowager saw that Mu Zi Ling kneeled down, she smiled


    <span>pleasingly. She picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. Her imposing voice contained


    <span>a dark tone, “Mu Zi Ling, do you admit to your crimes.”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling raised her head and looked at the Empress Dowager. She pretended to


    <span>be clueless and asked, “What did this wife do?”


    <span>She truly doesn’t know what she did wrong. She haven’t even seen Long Xiao Nan


    <span>yet, so how would she know if his illness truly recurred or not? So what if she did


    <span>know what happened? They have no proof anyways.


    <span>The Empress Dowager asked her right away about her crimes instead of asking her


    <span>for the reasons. She would not give the Empress Dowager a chance to pull her


    <span>down. Do they really think that she was y and easy to manipte? When


    <span>something or someone gets urgent, they will fight back. Although the Empress


    <span>Dowager had a really high status and she wouldn’t be able to do anything to her


    <span>physically, she could still mess and joke with her.


    <span>The Empress Dowager’s eyes shed by a senses of anger, and she coldly said,


    <span>“You have lied to us first and kept the information from us next. You opened up


    <span>Long Xiao Nan’s brain without any permission. Since you did cure his illnessst


    <span>time, and he was in a fine condition, I didn’t punish you. However, now that his


    <span>illness has recurred, are you still trying to tell me that you don’t know what you have


    <span>done?


    <span>Mu Zi Ling, you really do have great courage. I would like to see how long you are


    <span>able to keep your mouth shut today. I have waited for so long, and I finally came


    <span>across this chance. I will not let you off so easily this time.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling innocently blinked her eyes and asked again, “What crimes did this wife


    <spanmit?”


    <span>She wouldn’t be able to win the Empress Dowager today anyways. Plus, the


    <span>Empress Dowager wouldn’t let her go just because she lowered her voice and


    <span>begged for forgiveness. Even if the Empress Dowager would let her go if she


    <span>lowered her voice and begged for forgiveness, she wouldn’t know how to do it.


    <span>Since she wasn’t able to win, and she doesn’t know how to eg or forgiveness, then


    <span>she would just mess and joke with the Empress Dowager. She would have to fight


    <span>with the Empress Dowager until death. She’ll still feel good about herself if she


    <span>could anger the Empress Dowager before she dies.


    <span>The Empress Dowager’s expressions changed, and she angrily yelled, “How dare


    <span>you Mu Zi Ling. Just the fact that you dared to open up a Prince’s head means


    <span>that you have already vited the disrespectful rule. Then lying to the Royal Family


    <span>means that you have vited the rules, by deceiving the Emperor. However, you


    <span>dare to say that you didn’tmit any crimes?


    <span>The Empress Dowager has never thought that Mu Zi Ling would still be so


    <span>righteous and calm even when she was right at death’s door. Even in this situation,


    <span>Mu Zi Ling was able to look and talk to her calmly without any signs of fear.


    <span>At the end, she still underestimated Mu Zi Ling. This Mu Zi Ling sure has great


    <span>capabilities.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling made a shocked and terrified expression on her face as she continued to


    <span>blink innocently and foolishly ask, “How could this wifemit any of those crimes?”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling was not rushing the Empress Dowager at all. If she was going to die soon,


    <span>then she might as well make this worth it.


    <span>If you’re not satisfied, thene bite me!


    <span>“You….” The Empress Dowager was angered to the point of her chest moving up


    <span>and down and not even being able to speak out words.


    <span>At this moment, the “good” Empress came into the conversation to help. She


    <span>elegantly stood up and walked towards the Empress Dowager. Then she tried to


    <span>calm the Empress Dowager down by saying, “Mother, please calm down. Ling’er is


    <span>still young and doesn’t know the rules, so we just have to teach them to her.


    <span>The Empress Dowager’s breath calmed down, and she doesn’t even feel angry


    <span>anymore after hearing the words that the Empress has said. It was as if waking up


    <span>from a dream, regaining one’s consciousness in a split second.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling was not touched by the Empress’s kind words at all. She secretly rolled


    <span>her eyes towards the Empress. She was little? She has already lived for two


    <span>lifetimes, yet she was little? She has already married, yet she was little?


    <span>At her age in the ancient time, people probably already have countless kids crawling


    <span>on the floor. Was this Empress blind?


    <span>As for the teaching her part that the Empress has said, she really wonders how the


    <span>Empress would “teach” her.


    <span>Now, the Empress Dowager’s mouth curved up into a smile and she softly called


    <span>out, “Lin mama.”


    <span>“This servant understands.” replied Lin mama treacherously. Then she pulled out


    <span>something from her embrace and started to walk over to Mu Zi Ling.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling turned around to see the thing that Lin mama was holding, and she finally


    <span>understood what the Empress means by “Teach”.


    <span>Her expressions suddenly changed, and she was scared to the point of being


    <span>dumbfounded. Now she was truly scared.


    <span>Oh god, this “teach” sure is really cruel. It could really cause someone to die...
