"Someone, pull the Fairy Queen out and give her twenty lashes of lightning. When she thinks clearly and admits her mistakes, then bring her back to see me!" As soon as he finished speaking, I was roughly dragged out. Lightning whips carrying reverse spikes continuously fell on his back, each whip cracking his skin and causing fresh blood to flow. After twenty lashes, I was lying face down on the ground. I didn't even have the strength to stand up. Only a weak breath remained to maintain my life. But even so, we still do not admit our mistakes. I gritted my teeth and didn't make a sound. Seeing me like that, my mother suddenly rushed out and rushed in front of me, hitting and scolding me. "Do you have to make me angry to be satisfied? In the end, you have to let go of Man Nhi no matter what you want!" "If I had known this day would come, when Man Nhi was picked up in the past, I should have strangled her first, so I wouldn't have had to keep her until now and harm people!" I gently pulled the corners of my lips, having difficulty getting out a few words. “If that's the case……” “Then from now on, I'll pretend I don't have parents like you two.” When his father followed outside, he heard these words and was first stunned, then coldly laughed. He directly pulled out the short sword from his waist and threw it down in front of me. “It's easy to say it with your mouth.” “If you really want to make a clean break with the Shen clan, then right here, cut off cause and effect.” I lowered my head to look at that short sword, suddenly panicked. This sword is an item that I personally went down to the blacksmith shop down the mountain to make for my father. The design is not very nice. But at that time, I really put all my effort into it. Seeing that I was slow to act, my mother took down the peace jade pendant from her body. That piece of jade is what I knelt down three hundred stone steps to pray for her. Now, without thinking, she aggressively threw it in my face. "Now I know it's too late to regret it!" “Take your things away, get out!” “From today onwards, we won't have a daughter like you either!” The moment they turned to leave, I clearly felt that the last ties deep within my soul were completely broken. The power of this world's rejection of me also immediately surged forth strongly. I know. We should go. Right after that, a stream of warm blood suddenly shot down at their feet. I picked up the short sword from the ground, without hesitation, directly stabbed myself through the neck. 2 “What else is there to cut off cause and effect?” “I return this life to you.” Ta Hanh quickly walked out of the inner hall, just in time to see the moment I grabbed the short knife and cut my throat. “Nhuoc Nhi—!” That scream made the whole palace seem to shake. I fell down in a pool of blood all over the ground. Relying on the last bit of consciousness, I opened my eyes with difficulty, looking at each panicked face in front of me in turn. Until my eyes stopped. I feel very clearly that when this body completely cools down, the last bit of connection between me and this world will be completely broken. Right after that, the soul shook slightly, escaping from the body. The mother stiffly stood in place. The back of her shirt was covered in my blood. After a while, she gradually turned her head to look at me, her eyes opened wide, tears suddenly flowed out. His father standing next to him was also stunned. Ta Hanh was the first person to rush to my side, both hands covering the wound on my neck, his eyes bloodshot, and his voice stern. "Where is the alchemist? Immediately stop the bleeding for Queen Tham!" His hands trembled violently. But no matter how hard I pressed, the blood on my neck wouldn't stop flowing. The alchemist almost crawled forward, panicked and took out the best hemostatic elixir and poured it all on the wound. But when he saw that my chest was no longer heaving, his movements immediately became confused. First, he shook his hand to feel my breath, then reluctantly held my pulse. After a long time, he turned pale and knelt down. “Emperor… Empress Shen, you are lost!” “Shut up!” As soon as these words finished, Ta Hanh raised his foot and kicked him out. "Who gave you permission to say that Empress Tham is lost? If you dare say another bad word, I will force your entire family to bury you."

together!" He stared at my closed eyes, the panic in his voice could not be hidden at all. “Nhuoc Nhi, wake up.” “The deity has arrived. Open your eyes, look at this deity—" But no matter how urgently he called, it was useless. I couldn't open my eyes anymore. Mother seemed to have only just regained consciousness at this point, staggering forward. She looked at the terrifying wound on my neck, her hands were shaking uncontrollably, not even daring to touch me. After confirming that I had really stopped breathing, her whole body immediately sat down on the ground. "I'm dead..." "How is it possible... Why are you really dead..." Father looked bewildered, his face, which was always cold and strict, was now pale and bloodless. At this moment, Tham Man's weak and painful groan could be heard in the inner hall. "Di Venerable... I'm in so much pain, can you come in and look at me for a moment..." She held her stomach, moaning softly in pain. But Ta Hanh seemed to not hear it at all.
