Yin Weiyin trembled uncontrollably.
The words that were originally meant to dig a trap for Dong Gong Ruoshu had unexpectedly backfired on her.
Her lips quivered, her mind raced at lightning speed.
Now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to plead guilty. After all, as the daughter of Prince Jing, this was merely a transgression of speech. If she pleaded guilty, the punishment would at most be confinement, and everything would pass without further incident.
She confessed, "This subject's daughter has spoken recklessly about the Empress Dowager, tarnishing her sacred name. I am fully aware this is an unforgivable offense and humbly request the Empress Dowager to mete out punishment."
"If it's an unforgivable offense, then let it remain unforgivable." The Empress Dowager said coldly, "Grant her death."

The female crown froze momentarily, disbelief flickering in her eyes.
