"When I found out that the real Niinu was already dead, I was also full of questions. Who was the burnt body in Phoenix Terrace? How could there be two Niinu? I only found out when I sent a maid to Qing Zhou to investigate.
Lan Xiang.
She was called Lan Xiang.
She had struggled to grow up in a brothel with Yu Zao and Niinu. She was also Niinu's best friend. She was Lan Xiang who had dug Niinu out of a mass grave.
She was born of the same mother as her sister Yu Zao. Niinu was also very intelligent. Not long after she had fallen into the Third Prince's palace, she had discovered the palace's secret. She had tried to lead her sisters out of the devil's den, but she had not expected to be discovered by the Third Prince. The group had been surrounded and killed.
It had been a hair-raising massacre. None of the dozens of girls had been left alive. One by one, their legs had been cut off, their tongues had been cut off, and their bodies had been drained of blood. Not only had they died, but they had also been thrown into a clay pot to be used to plant the Hundred Charm Incense.
As the mastermind behind this escape, she had been treated tens of thousands of times worse than death. Not only had she been tortured, she had been humiliated and tortured by hundreds of guards every day and night. Even the Third Prince's dog had been on her body … …
After hearing the news of her sister's death, her best friend, Lan Xiang, was her only thought in this world. Thus, on her deathbed, she desperately begged a guard she had helped before to send her identity card and an ancestral golden bracelet to Lan Xiang as a memento of their friendship in this world.
But who would have known that after Lan Xiang received the identity card and the golden bracelet, she had guessed that something big had happened to her. After Lan Xiang arrived in the capital, she had wandered around for many days. She had begged everywhere. However, she was only a singer of lowly birth. In the capital where nobles were everywhere, she could only meet countless cold nails and disdainful looks.
Just as she was in despair, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, at the Bathing Buddha Festival, she had coincidentally met a person.
She had never expected to meet someone here who could easily provide her with help. This great surprise shocked and delighted her at the same time.
However, after the intense ecstasy, she suddenly realized that the identity of that person was extremely precious and was not someone she could easily contact. As a result, she racked her brains and finally came up with a good idea. That was to take Niinu's identity card and enter the pleasure boat on the Moon Embracing Lake under Niinu's name. She would make an agreement with the pleasure boat's procuress and become the most famous singer on the Moon Embracing Lake in the capital. This way, when she heard the name "Niinu", that person would definitely appear to recognize her and help her search for the missing Niinu. And Lan Xiang, who had practiced with Niinu for many years, had a voice that was not inferior to hers, and had become the magic weapon and support that helped her succeed.
Therefore, she used the first magic trick in this case — she turned herself into Niinu. But what she did not expect was that what she thought was a good idea, in the end, became the poison that killed her! "
On the high platform, Empress Cao listened attentively and said, "How do you know who she met at the Bathing Buddha Festival and not at any other time? Now that everyone is dead, the dead tell no tales. Is it all based on your clever mouth? "
Ning Shu methodically said, "My conjecture naturally has its reasons. First, I found this contract that she signed with the pleasure boat's procuress in the Ministry of Revenue's Musical House. She signed it: Niinu on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-fourth year of Heaven's Selection. Although the signature was Niinu's name, the handwriting was exactly the same as Lan Xiang's handwriting that my maid brought back from Qingzhou. And two days before the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-fourth year of Heaven's Selection, it was the Bathing Buddha Festival, the day all the nobles in the capital would appear.
Secondly, I asked her friend, Chun Niang, who was on the pleasure boat. Chun Niang said that she went on the pleasure boat to find someone, but she was unwilling to say who she was looking for. I think it's not that she was unwilling to say, but that she couldn't say. She disguised herself as Niinu. If she told others that the person she was looking for was Niinu, then her plan would be completely ruined.
Other than that, there was another reason — she wanted to help that person hide a secret, a secret that could implicate many people and even cause their heads to be separated from their bodies! "
