Capítulo 782: Can't Stand Your Face

The ministers agreed with what Nianzu said. It was considered treason when anyone tried to harm the Emperor or the Empress. Nianzu looked at his mother and asked him to accept the crimes that she had committed till now.

"It was all for you," Deng Hui said. "I was taken as a concubine. You always were humiliated because of me. That's why I stayed quiet believing that a day would come when I would get authority over people. I didn't do anything wrong." She had refused to accept the crimes that she committed. She stepped back from him and pulled out the dagger from her sash.

The Ministers got terrified and so did the others in the court. Sheng Li rose to his feet while General Wang stepped forward to make sure that Deng Hui would do nothing wrong.

"Drop it, Empress Dowager," Sheng Li commanded her and quickly descended the stairs.
