Chapter 216 Sister Who Loves Her Brother 23
"System, what's going on? Give me a reasonable explanation." Her plan was so perfect, how could Xu Hongyu turn the tables?
"Everything was done as you said. I don't know what went wrong." Although the system was a little puzzled, it still tried to comfort Li Yaoniang with kind words.
"I don't care. Xu Hongyu must die today. Kill him for me." Li Yaoniang's eyes turned red with anger. She wished she could kill Xu Hongyu with her eyes.
Yuyan, who was not far away, frowned slightly. She looked at Li Yaoniang strangely, then moved silently and quietly to her side.
As for Li Yaoniang's unreasonable behavior, the system was silent for a moment, and then looked at Xu Hongyu on the beheading platform.
The next second, a 'ding' sound was heard.
The executioner who was standing behind Xu Hongyu suddenly tripped and the big knife in his hand fell towards Xu Hongyu's neck in an instant.
Xu Hongyu originally thought that he was going to die today, but unexpectedly, God had a good vision and he finally received pardon at the critical moment.
He was secretly happy and waited to be released later. Just as a smile of surviving a disaster appeared on his face, he felt a chill on his neck and his head and body were separated.
The supervising officer who was about to receive the order was also caught off guard when he saw this situation. He looked at the confused executioner on the stage with a frown on his face.
How can I explain this situation to His Majesty and Minister Zheng? He turned his eyes around, looked at the imperial edict in the hand of the messenger, and subconsciously retracted his hand quickly.
As long as he didn't accept the imperial edict, it wouldn't be considered disobeying orders. At most... at most they can only say that they didn't retract their swords in time due to inertia. It was the sword's fault, and it has nothing to do with the people.
Then the executioner looked at the equally confused messenger and spoke seriously.
"I'm sorry, the emperor's order came a little late. The criminal Xu Hongyu has already been executed. Do you think it's still possible to accept this order? Otherwise, could you please go back and ask the emperor what he thinks?"
"........."
The messenger froze as he held both hands to deliver the imperial edict. He had never encountered such a situation before! What should he do?
His Majesty said that he would pardon them and prove that everyone in the Zheng family was innocent, but he didn't expect things to go this way.
The two sides were frozen in an instant by Xu Hongyu's sudden death. When they looked at each other, not knowing what to do, a high-pitched scream of fear suddenly came from the lively crowd.
When everyone turned around, they saw a slim young girl pointing at Li Yaoniang and accusing her loudly.
"Ah... a monster, she is a monster, the monster killed people. I, I just saw that she used magic to kill Xu Hongyu, she knows magic, ah... help! The monster wants to kill me to silence me, ah..."
The girl who was speaking seemed to be strangled by an invisible force suddenly.
With a look of horror on her face, she tried hard to pry away the hands that were pinching her neck, but she was unable to break free due to her weak body.
The young girl looked ready to die, and she looked at Li Yaoniang with a righteous look and cried out in a tearful voice.
"Monster, don't think that if you kill me, no one will know your true identity. You are a monster, a moody and vicious monster. If you have the guts, you can kill me, but even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
Yuyan pinched herself with a painful expression and performed her true feelings fearlessly, as if someone really was trying to strangle her to death with his own hands.
Li Yaoniang felt confused and relieved when she saw Yuyan's painful expression. In her heart, she thought that the system was helping her vent her anger.
But she knew that she could never admit to this trumped-up charge. People of that era were superstitious, and if she was really accused of being a monster, she would definitely be executed.
So Li Yaoniang approached Yuyan with a slight anger on her face but her eyes full of satisfaction, and she scolded Yuyan loudly.
"Yuyan, don't talk nonsense. I'm not a monster. You are crazy and jealous of me. Now you dare to slander me. You are so vicious. Why don't you just die, you vicious woman?"
As soon as Li Yaoniang finished speaking, Yuyan spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at Li Yaoniang in front of her with a face full of fear, she still persisted in accusing again.
"Monster, she is a monster..."
After she finished speaking, Yu Yan, who was so angry, reached out to hit her, but her weak body did not allow it.
As soon as his hand landed on Li Yaoniang's cheek, he was subdued by her in an instant. Li Yaoniang, who was in a rage, threw Yuyan away with great force.
Therefore, Yuyan failed to hit anyone and only grabbed a handful of the air around Li Yaoniang.
At this time, Yu Sheng, who heard that something had happened, also rushed over. He waved Li Yaoniang away and hugged Yu Yan, holding her tightly in his arms.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Yu Sheng looked at the pinch marks on Yu Yan's neck and the blood on her lips, his eyes were bloodshot. He looked straight at Li Yao Niang, wishing he could skin her alive.
"...Brother, I was almost killed." Yu Yan snuggled in his arms, and said weakly and aggrievedly: "Li Yaoniang is a monster, she wanted to kill me..."
"It's okay. I'm here. I won't let her hurt you again."
While patting her back to comfort her, Yu Sheng squinted at Li Yaoniang, already planning in his mind how to kill her without anyone noticing.
Li Yaoniang was pushed to the ground by Yu Sheng and her hands were scratched.
Especially Yu Sheng’s sinister look, she was so angry that she wanted the system to arrange a death for them both right away.
However, looking at the questioning eyes of the people around her, she forced herself to suppress her anger.
Now that Xu Hongyu has been killed, it is not advisable to take any more action. We should wait a little longer. They won’t live for many days anyway.
Yuyan stayed quietly in Yusheng's arms at this time. She continued to glare at Li Yaoniang, but her hands subconsciously twisted her fingertips.
When she ran into him on the road just now, she noticed that there was a fly around the heroine. She originally thought that it was because her soul was emitting a foul odor, but it turned out not to be the case.
Just now, she took advantage of the heroine's inattention and caught the fly as tiny as dust.
Then she took it in her hand and examined it carefully from front to back and inside out, only to find that it was actually a small ultra-micro nanorobot.
How did this thing come from? How did it end up with Li Yaoniang? Why should I help her?
There were many questions that she couldn't figure out, but she was too lazy to think about them. In short, it must be the heroine's adventure or cheating.
It doesn't matter, I will destroy whoever you come to. If I can destroy it, I will destroy it. If I can't destroy it, I will step on it. I don't believe I can't kill you.
Then she twisted it again and found that it was still quite strong and could not be damaged at all. Of course, it could also be because she did not use other powers.
