Empress Sun's lips trembled slightly. When she saw the blood-red fragments all over the ground, her eyes seemed to be stained red with blood, and she had hallucinations.

She seemed to see again the woman whom she regarded as her lifelong enemy lying in a pool of blood, her eyes still open staring at her, like a nightmare that she could never get rid of.

The woman opened her mouth and whispered:

"Blood debt must be paid with blood, you will be punished."

Queen Sun told herself that it was just an illusion, that the woman had died long ago, and that Tianming Pavilion had promised her that it would make the bitch's soul fly away and that she would never be able to cause trouble for her again.

But she couldn't help closing her eyes, covering her ears, and showing an expression of fear and anxiety.

When everyone in the Buddhist temple saw Empress Sun's unusual behavior, they all knew that she had something to hide.

Only the prince was still stubborn and said:

"Chen Yubai, what did you do to my mother? You must have used some evil magic on her and satisfied her soul!"

Chen Yubai smiled softly after hearing this. "As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. There are so many of us in the Buddhist temple, why is it that only the Queen has such an expression?"

He then turned to Empress Sun and said:

"Empress, who did you see? Besides Empress Shu, who was killed by Tianming Pavilion at your instigation, who else was there?"

Empress Sun's face was pale and her body was shaking.

Even though the prince supported her with all his strength, she still couldn't stop shaking.

Just as Shen Yubai said, she saw more than just Shu Fei.

She also saw dozens of Shu family members who died unjustly under the blades of the killers from Tianming Pavilion. They maintained the tragic appearance of their death and stared at her with their eyes wide open, just like Shu Fei.

"Blood debt must be paid with blood, you will be punished."

"Blood debt must be paid with blood, you will be punished."

"Blood debt must be paid with blood..."

These curses, which were filled with deep blood feud, sounded incredibly real to Empress Sun.

She finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to her knees. "Go away, all of you! Get out of here!"

But these ghosts still haunted her, constantly whispering in her ears that they wanted retribution:

"You killed our entire family, and we want your entire family's life too."

"Don't you want your son to ascend the throne and become emperor? Don't worry, with us here, he will never be able to sit on the throne."

"He will be beheaded by the executioner along with you and the rest of the Sun family. This is what you deserve."

"You vicious woman even cursed the Emperor. Unfortunately, he is the true dragon emperor, and he will not be killed by your curse. He will wake up and personally destroy you and your son, as well as your family. This is your retribution."

Empress Sun rolled up her sleeves in extreme panic.

I saw several hideous scars on her fair arms.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.

But what shocked them even more was yet to come. The queen took out a blade she had hidden in advance from her bosom and cut her own skin with it. Blood flowed out instantly.

She continued to cut her arms open fiercely as if she didn't feel any pain, gritting her teeth and saying:

"I want you to die, I want you to die!"

The prince said in shock, "Mother, please wake up..."

Shen Yubai, however, looked calm, as if he was not surprised at all by the Queen's crazy behavior.

He looked at the fragments of the Buddha statue on the ground. The Queen's blood dripped on them. The fragments, which had already cracked, seemed to be nourished. The cracks slowly closed like a living thing, and even the color became brighter than before.

It was at this time that Taoist nun Meng took action.

She spread out her whisk and covered Empress Sun's frantic face. Empress Sun screamed in pain but could not move.

The prince tried to push the whisk away but was held down by the guards in the palace.

"What are you going to do to my mother?! Shen Yubai, how dare you attack the queen!"

At this moment, the Queen Mother's voice came from outside the palace:

"Sun used evil magic to harm the emperor. She is no longer the queen."
