With anticipation, Ji Yunxi felt that time flew by, and it was already the day of execution.
She changed into a red dress, which was extremely eye - catching. However, she didn't wear any hair ornaments on her head. Holding Nianyun in her hand, she walked out of the room.
She took a deep breath, as if trying to expel all the previous pains from her body.
Nianyun seemed to sense the unusualness of this day. It let out mournful cries in her hand, and the killing intent rippled out uncontrollably in circles.
Feeling the tremor in her hand, she murmured to herself, "Are you also happy for me?"
As if in response, Nianyun let out a buzzing sound.
The Ji brothers appeared in front of Ji Yunxi in white clothes. They didn't find anything wrong with their younger sister's red dress, even though they were still in the period of mourning.
"Yunxi, the second brother has already prepared the carriage. Let's go there together."
However, Ji Yunxi shook her head. "No, I'll go there now and take a look at the prisoner's cart along the way."
"I want to see how Ji Yuyan is humiliated and disgraced!"
After saying that, she soared into the air, ignoring the carriage that had been prepared at the door, and headed straight for the execution ground.
Ji Yuchen held his younger brother back. "Let her go."
The capital of Nanyan was right beneath Ji Yunxi's feet. Many people saw a fiery red figure flying across the sky and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Did you see that? Did you see that?!"
"That's, that's the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"She's really a genius. But why is she wearing a red dress?"
"Yeah, it hasn't been long since Prime Minister Ji passed away, has it?"
"Who knows..."
One after another, exclamations and curious remarks sounded around the slowly moving prisoner's cart where Ji Yuyan was.
She looked up and happened to see Ji Yunxi in the air. Her graceful figure was enough to show her extraordinary abilities.
Suddenly, a tear fell from the corner of her eye. Ji Yuyan could only lament that God was really unfair.
As if sensing the gaze, Ji Yunxi turned her head slightly and just met Ji Yuyan's eyes.
The hatred between the two collided, and in an instant, it was like thunder and lightning in the air.
Ji Yunxi raised her hand and gently made a slashing motion across her neck. This made Ji Yuyan so angry that her eyes turned red. She suddenly grabbed the bars of the prisoner's cart in front of her.
Ji Yunxi sneered. Not wanting to waste any more words on a dead person, she lightly tapped her feet and turned around to disappear.
Li Jiuge got up early. Knowing that today was the day when Ji Yuyan would be executed by Ji Yunxi, she planned to go to the execution ground to have a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the carriage arrived at the place, she saw Ji Yunxi floating over in a red dress.
"Yunxi!" She called out to her. Li Jiuge got out of the carriage, and the people around knelt down to pay their respects.
She didn't care about others. Instead, she quickly walked up to Ji Yunxi, grabbed her hand, and said with full of worry, "Yunxi, do you really have to do it yourself? Isn't it not good to get your hands stained with blood?"
Ji Yunxi knew that she was really worried about her. She smiled gently. "Jiuge, I've been longing to kill my enemy with my own hands."
Her eyes were firm, and she tightened her grip on Nianyun as she spoke.
Knowing that she always kept her word, Li Jiuge didn't try to persuade her anymore. Instead, she patted her on the shoulder. "Okay, then I'll accompany you."
Her tone was understated but full of strength. Standing beside Ji Yunxi, she made everyone around feel the royal majesty.
Ji Yuyan and her mother's carriage finally arrived at the execution ground. It already stank to high heaven.
Along the way, the common people held eggs and vegetable leaves in their hands and kept throwing them at the two women.
"Kill this unfilial and evil girl! She's even capable of murdering her own father!"
"The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked!"
The scolding made Qiao Shi unable to hide her pain. She wished she could pounce on Ji Yuyan and hide her from all this humiliation. But she couldn't. She could only watch her daughter being pelted in the prisoner's cart behind.
Ji Yuyan tightly clenched her hands. She didn't even feel the pain when her fingernails dug into her flesh.
The two were brought to the execution ground. The chief eunuch glanced at Ji Yunxi. Seeing her nod, he stepped forward.
"His Majesty's oral edict!" At this shout, everyone present knelt down. "Qiao Shi, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her daughter Ji Yuyan plotted to murder the old Prime Minister's wife and the old Prime Minister himself. Their methods were insidious and cruel. I hereby order the victim Ji Yunxi to carry out the execution personally to console the old Prime Minister's spirit in heaven!"
Ji Yuyan instantly widened her eyes and stared fixedly at Ji Yunxi on the stage, looking completely incredulous.
She didn't expect that the emperor would actually agree to let Ji Yunxi carry out the execution. This was completely against the rules!
But when she saw Feng Xingzhi standing beside Ji Yunxi, she suddenly understood - that person was already the prospective princess. What could be against the rules?
She couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Her eyes looking at Ji Yunxi became even more venomous.
In the crowd, a wisp of mist was hidden. It was Qing Xuan. And Lu Shu was on the other side. With many people from the Dream - Splendor Pavilion, they were seriously distributed everywhere in the crowd.
On the contrary, Ji Yunxi didn't say a word. She stared fixedly at the two people in the prisoner's cart.
Qiao Shi was already in despair. She sat there quietly, motionless, waiting for fate to come.
Ji Yuyan, on the other hand, couldn't help but look around.
Ji Yunxi knew her very well. At this moment, she couldn't be indifferent. She must be going to cry, make a scene, and cause a ruckus. She would do her best to ruin Ji Yunxi's reputation.
The fact that she was so quiet now was rather suspicious.
Especially when she kept looking around, Ji Yunxi thought that someone must be coming, which was why Ji Yuyan was so calm.
She secretly tightened her grip. A Ji Yuyan was nothing. Her real enemy was the person behind the scenes!
Ji Yunxi exchanged glances with several pairs of eyes in the crowd. Then all the gazes converged on Ji Yuyan.
You wait, and so do we!
