Chapter 116: Reverse, Plot Twist 3
yuan Che completely and then kill him, making Xuanyuan Luo Chen regret it for life.But after all, he was her most beloved man. Lan Xinyu couldn't bear it, she just tapped his acupoints for sleep. She...Her schadenfreude smile pierced Lan Feiyue's eyes deeply, and Lan Feiyue felt a surge of hatred in her heart! She had carefully planned so much, not only did it fail to harm the other woman in the slightest, but she also ended up getting her own sister involved. She was unwilling to accept this!
"Lan Xin Yao, you heartless creature, return my royal sister's life to me!" Zhao Tianqi's hawk-like eyes glared fiercely at Lan Xin Yao, his voice laced with murderous intent.
She fought Su Qingying and was even willing to sacrifice her imperial sister's life, using Jinling as cannon fodder. He couldn't swallow this anger!
“I, I didn’t… it wasn’t me…” Lan Xin Yao was startled, shaking her head frantically. Now all eyes were on her, accusingly. She had no way to defend herself.
Su Qingying looked on coldly, a mocking smile curling her lips. They had been plotting against her, but they hadn't expected to end up shooting themselves in the foot. Just look at their faces that have suddenly changed color – it truly filled her with satisfaction!
"West Ming Emperor, since the truth has been revealed, then bring the culprit to justice and give Xiao Ying an explanation. Treason against a princess is punishable by death! West Ming Emperor shouldn't be biased, should he" Shangguan Jinghong was enjoying the show. He didn't mind adding fuel to the fire and sending Lan Xin Yao on her way sooner rather than later. He loathed women like her who were two-faced his whole life.
"Wait, it wasn't my sister who killed the princess of Jinling, it was me!" Lan Feiyu stepped forward, shielding Lan Xin Yao and glared fiercely at Su Qingying.
"Sister," Lan Xinyue looked at the figure standing in front of her, her voice trembling.
Lán Fēi Yǔ was veiled, her expression obscured. Lán Xīn Yáo only heard her soft voice ring out, "Sister, you are the family's hope, you should not fall here. Live well and avenge me!"
Lan Feiyu didn't want to die, but she was already ruined. Living only tarnished her family's reputation. However, her sister was different; she was intelligent and more patient. Even their father would probably choose her sister without hesitation. She was just a pawn, utterly useless. So, it was the best choice for her to take the blame.
Without waiting for Lan Xin Yao's response, she spoke out loudly: "I'm sorry, sister. It was me who secretly found Xiang'er. Xiang'er knows martial arts and can help me with this. I know you have a kind heart, sister. If you knew about it, you wouldn't let me do this. But I hate Zhao Ruozhi, and even more so, Su Qingying. Zhao Ruozhi ridiculed my ruined appearance, so I made her taste the bitterness of disfigurement. Su Qingying caused me to lose everything, how could I let her go Everything is my doing. One person does the deed, one person bears the responsibility. It has nothing to do with my sister."
Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's eyes deepened slightly, "So you admit guilt"
"Yes, I plead guilty. No one else is involved," Lan Feiyu said.
Upon seeing this, Su Qingying let out a cold snort, "Lan Feiyu, you're actually clever for once!"
To say that Lan Feiyu killed Zhao Ruozhi, she would rather die than believe it. She wasn't capable of such a thing.
She could tell the others had figured it out too, but she wasn't about to expose them. After all, every one of them that died was a victory.
Since Lan Feiyu took the blame, Su Qingying knew that Lan Xinyao's life was saved. However, her carefully cultivated goddess image had been completely ruined, so Su Qingying still gained something in the end.
"Humph, Su Qingying, don't get too cocky. Even as a ghost, I won't let you go!" Lan Feiyu glared at Su Qingying. Even through the veil, Su Qingying could feel her intense hatred.
“Come, Lan Feiyu murdered a princess of the country, his crimes are heinous, sentenced to the ultimate punishment, Ling Chi execution! Execute immediately!” To pay with life, Xuanyuan Luocheng was also considered giving Jining an explanation. Zhao Tianqi felt unwilling but couldn't say anything. Who would blame Ximing as one of the four major powers in the world It’s not that Jining could contend against them, this is just the gap in strength.
"Yes."
Lingchi, also known as death by a thousand cuts, involves slicing off pieces of flesh from the victim's body one by one until they die. This process can involve thousands of cuts, and the condemned person must remain completely conscious throughout the ordeal. Even if they faint from pain, they are revived with cold water. This punishment is incredibly cruel.
Lan Xinyao watched helplessly as Lan Feiyu was dragged away. Her cries of pain came intermittently, and Lan Xinyao's heart ached with each sound.
Her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, but she seemed oblivious to the pain. Her eyes blazed with a terrifying hatred.
She tightly closed her eyes, forcing the tears back. When she opened them again, Lan Xin Yao's face was calm and serene. Her beautiful eyes sparkled without a ripple of emotion.
Su Qingying's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Even someone as cold and ruthless as her had to admire Lan Xin Yao's composure. To be able to adjust her emotions so quickly showed just how deep her scheming was.
With such an incident happening at the palace banquet, no one had any interest in continuing. As a result, the banquet ended early.
"East Mountain's Fifth Princess, I apologize for the intrusion. Could you please explain what just happened Why did that palace maid seem like a puppet the moment she looked into your eyes" Su Wan'er was genuinely curious and couldn't help but step forward to stop Su Qingying, her watery eyes filled with confusion.
The women were having a conversation, so Su Ziyixun didn't want to disturb them. He made space for them and walked aside to chat with Rong Yue.
Su Qingying had a good impression of Situ Wan'er and was happy to explain to her, "It's nothing. Actually, this is hypnosis. In simple terms, it utilizes the two different levels of human thinking: consciousness and the subconscious, you see"
"I don't quite understand." Si Tu Wan'er was a little confused, and even Rong Yue Su Ziyi beside her subconsciously stopped talking, turning to look with a studious gaze.
Xuanyuan Lò chén stood not far away, also silently perked up his ears, paying attention to this side.
Seeing their eager eyes, Su Qingying suddenly felt her cool aura grow infinitely stronger. Immediately, she put an arm around Situ Wan'er's shoulder like a good buddy and said in a serious tone, "Let me put it simply, normally when we are awake, our consciousness is dominant. Hypnosis works by focusing a person's consciousness on one thing. At this time, the subconscious mind is no longer suppressed by consciousness, so it gets activated and enters a state where both the subconscious and conscious minds are open. This allows us to communicate with the subconscious mind. Hypnosis is essentially bypassing consciousness and communicating directly with the subconscious."
"Of course, not just anyone can use hypnosis casually, it takes talent. Do you understand what I mean"
"......Sistine Wan said her mind was in chaos, like a short circuit, she couldn't understand at all."
"…" Rong Yue doubted her own intelligence for the first time.
"……Su Ziyi was directly dumbfounded, his heart felt a little hit. Were they really siblings Why couldn't he understand at all!"
"...... Xuan Yuan Luo Chen frowned tightly, racking his brains to think about this sentence, almost dying from frustration!"
"Isn't that easy to understand" Weiliang added, with a look of pride on her face, as if she had stabbed a knife straight into the hearts of everyone present.
"..." The crowd was silent.
"Princess Wuan'er chuckled softly, her voice as gentle as a breeze, sweet enough to reach one's very bones. “Fifth Princess is truly knowledgeable and well-read, I am far inferior."
The woman's face flushed, she covered her face and stomped her feet. That shy air made everyone break out in a cold sweat. "Oh, come on, it's nothing special! Don't worship me so much."
"…" Si Tu Wan'er had three thick black lines appear on her forehead, her expression momentarily stunned.
"The Fifth Princess is truly straightforward and endearing." Reacting, Situ Wan'er felt a mix of amusement and disbelief. This Su Qingying was truly a live treasure, making it impossible for her to dislike her. She couldn't help but feel closer to her. of a powerful weapon.If it were sulfur, that would explain why there are no other animals here.This was the first time both Jun Liye and Yu Feng had heard this word. They had no idea what it meant. Y...
