“What he said may not be completely wrong.” Xuan Tu was stunned. I looked at the black shadow below my feet. It also seems to be looking at us. For the past twenty years, I have always known what resides in my body. I smelled decay, saw shadows, and as a child, I even heard the dead crying at the foot of the wall. But I have never harmed innocent people. When I was three years old, the backyard of the Tham family was full of blood. Everyone said I was crazy, biting the dog to death, scaring the lady crazy. But I only remember my mother hugging me, her whole body covered in blood, her voice choking. "Chieu Vi, don't be afraid, you're not a monster." "Monsters are them." I walked to my mother's altar. The golden talisman is still stuck on the tablet. With every step closer, the talisman made a deafening burning sound. Lieu Tran shouted: "Don't touch!" I reached out and peeled off that golden talisman. The moment the talisman left the tablet, all the green lights in the room exploded simultaneously. A gap opened in front of the wooden man's chest. A white mist flew out from the gap, slowly condensing into the silhouette of a woman. She wore an old wedding dress, her eyes were gentle. Just like in my memory. Mother stood in front of the wooden man, looking at me, tears falling first. "Chieu Vi." My throat choked. "Nhuong." She wanted to reach out and touch me. But the fingertips pierced my face, only bringing a cold wind. The depths of her eyes were even more painful. "You're grown up." Lieu Tran was extremely angry, the string of Buddha beads in his hand slammed towards his mother's remaining soul. Before I could move, the black shadow under my feet rushed out. It bit Lieu Tran's Buddha necklace. The Buddha pearl broke, Lieu Tran groaned and retreated, blood streaming from the corner of his mouth. The mother turned her head to look at him. At that moment, hatred finally appeared in her gentle eyes. "Liu Tran, it's been twenty years." "The blood debt you owe to the Tham family, you should also pay it back." Lieu Tran hugged his chest and suddenly laughed. "Tham Van Binh, do you think the poor monk came alone today?" He raised his hand and pointed to the yard. "The palace door has been sealed, the evil formation has been established." "If she hadn't died, Tonight the entire imperial city will be buried with her.” As soon as he finished speaking, outside the Department of Medicine, a steady sound of chanting was heard. Countless white lights lit up behind the palace wall. Under each lamp stood a gray-robed monk. 12When the white lamp lit up, the rainwater on the palace wall seemed to have turned to dew. The sound of chanting came down layer upon layer. Heavy, prolonged, like countless hands pressing on one's head, forcing one to kneel. Xuan Tu's face turned pale, he covered his ears. "Madam, this slave has a headache." It's not just her. Tiet Chi Lan fell into Luc Hoai Canh's arms, her whole body trembling. Trieu Thieu became even more limp in the guard's hands, constantly chanting Buddha's name. The Queen Mother's body was unstable, but she still gritted her teeth and stood. She stared at the group of gray-robed monks in the yard and said coldly: "Tran Quoc Temple dares to arbitrarily barge into the inner palace." Lieu Tran wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "The poor monk is taking care of the impure lady." The Queen Mother smiled coldly. "So impure that he could hold someone's son's soul for twenty years." "Liu Tran, Tran Quoc Tu of you are truly very compassionate." Lieu Tran's expression did not change. "The Queen Mother was blinded by a demon, the poor monk does not blame the lady." "Waiting for tonight to clear the roots of the disaster, the lady will naturally not change." I understand.” As he finished speaking, the monks outside the courtyard simultaneously raised their hands. In the palm of each person's hand, they hold a piece of purple sandalwood. The moment I saw that piece of wood clearly, the old scar on my neck suddenly ached. The mother's remnant soul changed color. "That is the Soul Suppressing Wood from the same source as your Buddha pearl." Lieu Tran said: "Back then, the poor monk was soft-hearted, only took a string of Buddha pearls to lock her." "Now it seems, the evil things cannot stay after all." "Tonight, use seventy-two pieces of Soul Suppressing Wood to display.

battle, used the imperial dragon's weapon to press down, Tam Chieu Vi, even if you have wings, it will be difficult to escape." I looked at him. "You open your mouth and shut your mouth and say I am evil." "But in the past twenty years, who have I killed?" Lieu Tran's eyes were cold. "Evil things don't need to kill people, they also deserve to die." I laughed. "So I am five or three years old and deserve to die." "Chief." The Queen Mother's death at the age of three also deserved to die." "All those who saw the truth deserved to die." The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly moved. She turned her head to look at Lieu Tran. "You said that Thua Nhi was born with a negative eye, it would disrupt the country's destiny." "But who was that faceless woman when he saw it that year?" Lieu Tran was silent for a moment. At that very moment, the Queen Mother understood everything. Her voice suddenly broke out. cold. "It's the person next to the emperor." The old mother took a cold breath. The mother looked at the Queen Mother and said softly: "What your little highness saw was not a drug." "The Queen Mother Dung's face suddenly turned pale. As soon as the two words were uttered, the white lights in the yard shook in unison: "Shut up!" The mother was not dumb. "After Concubine Dung died, the resentment did not disappear, clinging to the first emperor's body." "The little royal highness saw her and spoke out." "The first emperor was afraid that the old story would be exposed, so he invited Lieu Tran into the palace." The Queen Mother's breath choked. "The old story?"
