The prince raised his head and was surprised that the empress dowager had left Emperor Yong and come to the Buddhist temple.
"Grandmother, do you trust Shen Yubai so much?"
He showed a sorrowful expression and said in a hoarse voice, "My mother has been married to my father for many years. She has always been virtuous and well-behaved. She has never overstepped her bounds in her filial duties to you. You should understand what kind of person she is! Now Shen Yubai has used evil magic to frame her, and you won't even give her the chance to find out the truth..."
"The truth?! How dare you say these two words in front of Ai!"
The Queen Mother was furious, "Do you really think I can't guess? Your father didn't just faint from a sudden illness. Is it you who can't tolerate him and curse him?"
It was the Sun family who used the evil magic, not Prince Zhan!"
The prince looked dissatisfied and was about to say something, but Empress Sun knelt on the ground and laughed crazily:
"Haha, I want you dead, I want you all executed! Prince Zhan, Emperor, whoever stands in the way of my Sun family is unacceptable!"
"Mother..."
The prince watched helplessly as Queen Sun took a knife and cruelly cut off a piece of flesh from her own arm.
She threw away the knife, grabbed the piece of meat with her other hand, and stuffed the bloody meat into the broken pieces of the Buddha statue on the ground. "Eat it, my Buddha, eat it quickly! When you're full, help me kill those who are blocking my way. I want them all dead, leaving no one alive! Not even the emperor!"
The Queen Mother walked up to Empress Sun without fear and asked:
"What kind of evil magic did you use on the emperor? How do you plan to kill him?"
Empress Sun suddenly raised her head and stared at the Empress Dowager's face for a long time before revealing a sinister, hateful smile:
"I just fed the Buddha and prayed for the emperor in front of him, asking the Buddha to bless the emperor!"
"Blessing?" Chen Yubai whispered, "How do you bless?"
He hasn't forgotten Shu Fei for so many years and has always been obsessed with that dead woman. So I will fulfill his wish and let him reunite with that woman. Did I do something wrong?
The Queen Mother raised her hand and slapped Empress Sun hard in the face.
Empress Sun stared at her for a long moment, then suddenly went mad and pounced on her without a care in the world. "And you, you old hag, you're both bullying me! I want you to die too, and take that Prince Zhan with you. All of you, die, not one of you will be spared!"
The guards held down Empress Sun, but she continued to struggle, shouting that these lowly guards had no right to touch her.
The Queen Mother could no longer bear it and said coldly:
"The criminal Sun has gone insane. Keep her and the Crown Prince under guard. Remember to keep a close watch on them. Never give them the opportunity to secretly perform any more evil magic!"
She didn't kill Sun now only because she was still useful.
As for the prince...
Empress Dowager Lu looked at the prince and was silent for a while before instructing Shen Yubai:
"Keep an eye on him."
This means that the prince should be handed over to Shen Yubai for disposal.
The Crown Prince looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, "Grandmother, you can't leave me to this cruel and ruthless lunatic? I'm your own grandson!"
The Queen Mother had no expression on her face. "I don't have any grandson who wishes for his father's death."
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and left.
Shen Yubai smiled at the prince and said gracefully:
"It just so happens that the emperor's uncle wants to talk to you about something, so you must answer obediently."
The prince's pupils constricted.
He knew that based on Shen Yubai's expression, he would never receive any preferential treatment from the other party, and would definitely live a life worse than death...
In a manor outside the palace.
"The Queen and the Crown Prince are already abandoned. Even the Sun family will no longer invest manpower in them. Tell our spies in the palace to keep a close eye on Shen Yubai and the woman next to him who swapped souls."
The man in the black cloak gave his subordinates instructions, and after they had left, he slowly opened the secret compartment in the room.
There was actually a head inside.
He revealed a gentle and lingering look, reaching out to gently stroke her head, "As long as you are here, we have a chance to turn the tables."
