    <span>Chapter 67: Secret Punishment, Causing trouble to the Throne Room part 1


    <span>Mu Zi Ling stared at the object in Lin mama’s hand. Her small face was scared to the


    <span>point of turning white. She was really about to cry. She was extremely unlucky today,


    <span>did the Empress Dowager know that she was scared of this object? Did she purposely


    <span>tell Lin mama to use that to scare her?


    <span>However, this Empress’s ways of hinting sure is good. Her “teach” actually meant for


    <span>them to give her a punishment. Why doesn’t the Empress Dowager just kill her instead


    <span>of torturing her? This move that Empress Dowager made was very cruel!


    <span>The item that Lin mama held in her hand, was the only object that the Mu Zi Ling, who


    <span>was not afraid of anything else, was scared of.


    <span>This needle was not a golden needle, not a silver needle, and it also wasn’t a needle


    <span>that you use to sew clothing. It was a rusted, spotted, thick, and long needle. The tip


    <span>of this needle was sharp and shiny.


    <span>This needle seemed like the type of needle that you used to sew the sole of a shoe,


    <span>It was nearly five inches long! However, this Lin mama was able to keep it in her


    <span>embrace like that, was she not afraid?


    <span>The Empress saw Mu Zi Ling’s terrified expression after Lin mama took out the needle.


    <span>However, she didn’t say anything and just kept watching. She went back to her seat,


    <span>and her expression was still as calm and kind as before. It was as if she was trying to


    <span>not get involved in any of this. It seemed like she was ignoring everything that was


    <span>happening in front of her.


    <span>The Empress Dowager never expected for Mu Zi Ling to have such a terrified


    <span>expression after seeing the needle, but she was very satisfied with this. It didn’t seem


    <span>like Mu Zi Ling was acting either, so this means that she was truly scared now.


    <span>Looks like just a small needle was enough for this little girl who was not afraid of


    <span>anything to be extremely afraid. All the anger that was inside of her earlier has


    <span>disappeared after seeing this scene. As it turned out, Mu Zi Ling wasn’t that strong


    <span>after all.


    <span>The Empress Dowager’s mouth curved up into a smile, and a deep pair of eyes


    <span>stared coldly at Mu Zi Ling, “Mu Zi Ling, this dowager will ask you this one more time.


    <span>Do you know what crimes you havemitted?”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling recovered her consciousness from being terrified. Then she silently


    <spanughed in her heart. Know the crimes? It seems like the Empress Dowager was


    <span>about to torture her until she admits it. Should she give up and just admit to the


    <span>crimes?


    <span>Mu Zi Ling’s small face looked stubborn, and she coldly said to the Empress


    <span>Dowager, “Empress Dowager, you keep saying that this wife hasmitted a crime,


    <span>but this wife hasn’t even seen the Fifth Prince yet. This wife doesn’t even know the


    <span>Fifth Prince’s condition at this moment. Wouldn’t it be too careless of you to pin a


    <span>crime on my head now?”


    <span>She didn’t do anything wrong! The Empress Dowager wants her to admit to a crime


    <span>with no reason? She must’ve been dreaming!


    <span>This Empress Dowager was truly to confident in herself. So what if she was scared


    <span>of needles? Even if she was pricked to death by the needles, she would never


    <span>admit to something that she didn’t do.


    <span>After the Empress Dowager heard what Mu Zi Ling has said, her anger started to


    <span>rise up again. Then she coldly said, “See? You have made Xiao Nan suffer more


    <span>than he has before, yet you still want to see him? Lin mama!”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling was secretly mocking her self. In this world, if one’s status was one level


    <span>lower than someone else, then one will be in very big trouble. Not to mention that


    <span>the person was the Empress Dowager who wanted her to die. At this moment, her


    <span>trying to talk some sense into the Empress Dowager, was basically ying a zither


    <span>to a cow, a waste of words.


    <span>She even has the heart to die now. If it was not because both of her hands were held


    <span>and she can’t reach into the ster system to grab a potion, she wouldn’t be suffering


    <span>so much now.


    <span>Lin mama has already been waiting a long time for this moment. Seeing that the


    <span>Empress Dowager was signaling her to start, she smiled coldly an immediately saw


    <span>the hint. Then she ordered the two pce maids to prop open Mu Zi Ling’s hand.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling didn’t try to struggle anymore. Even though she hates needles, no matter


    <span>how much she struggles, the results will all be the same. Dying early and dyingter


    <span>are all forms of dying, so why should she make life difficult for herself?


    <span>After Mu Zi Ling’s hands were propped open, Lin mama reached over her old wrinkly


    <span>hands and held Mu Zi Ling’s forefinger. Then she started to prick an even rougher


    <span>needle into Mu Zi Ling’s finger.


    <span> -


    <span>The area that Long Xiao Ze rushed towards was the throne room. Long Xiao Ze


    <span>knows that the only person who could stop the Empress Dowager now is the Emperor.


    <span>Although he was also worried about Long Xiao Nan’s illness, he knows that only


    <span>Mu Zi Ling knows how to cure it.


    <span>He also knows the methods that the Empress Dowager use. Since Mu Zi Ling was


    <span>forcibly brought away by the Empress Dowager, she must be being cruelly punished


    <span>at this moment. This was why there''s nothing else for him to do, other than rushing


    <span>into the throne room.


    <span>Coincidently, this is exactly the moment that the Emperor was having his daily


    <span>morning meeting with the other high court officials. He didn’t care about the people


    <span>who stopped him, and he anxiously ran towards the throne room.


    <span>There were golden pirs in the throne room, and the whole area emitted a golden


    <span>light. Itpletely showed off how rich the Royal Family was. There were hundreds


    <span>of court officials in the the hall of the throne room. Every one of them wore neat and


    <span>tidy clothes, and they all had a serious expression on their face. This gave people a


    <span>feeling that these officials shouldn’t be taken lightly.


    <span>At this moment, the Wen Yin Emperor was sitting on the imperial throne in a yellow


    <span>dragon robe. He was just in the middle of discussing important matters about the


    <span>when he was interrupted by someone.


    <span> Long Xiao Yu ran into the throne room and opened his mouth before he even got a


    <span>chance to take a breath, “Imperial father, imperial father, this son has something he


    <span>needs to tell you!”


    <span>Hundreds of court officials looked into the direction of the voice and they were all


    <span>shook. Expressions of unbelief allnded on Long Xiao Ze.


    <span>The Wen Yin Emperor also looked in the direction of the criminal who dared to


    <span>disrupt him in the throne room. He furrowed his brows and seriously screamed,


    <span>“How dare you y around.”


    <span>His expression showed small signs of anger, and all of the court officials lowered


    <span>their heads. They didn’t dare to even breathe loudly, and they all silently wiped away


    <span>sweat for Long Xiao Ze in their hearts. This Long Xiao Ze had too much guts. He


    <span>even dared to enter the throne room without permission.
