A high platform has been set up in front of Yixiang Building, and the colorful silk is very bright and beautiful.

Before the young girl appeared, it was already crowded outside, and it was obvious that they were all admiring.

"It seems that this young girl is really a great beauty!" Xuan Jinhuan sighed.

A man next to him accosted: "This year's girl, but she is a rare beauty; I heard that as long as you wait for tonight's "Nine Days and Moons", Lord Yan will welcome the young girl into the door to be an aunt. ”

Not to mention who this Lord Yan is, but what is "Nine Days and Moon"?

The man explained: "'Nine Days and the Moon' is a legendary dance music, but it was only danced by a maiko thirty years ago, and then it was lost. Everyone came here, one is to see how stunning the girl is this year, and the other is to witness how wonderful the legendary "Nine Days and Moon" is. ”

Sure enough, this sounds like a mystery.

Xuan Jinhuan and Xie Lan glanced at each other, both thoughtful.

It always felt strange about it, but it really couldn't be said.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in their hearts.

In a melodious music, a group of beautiful women in yellow feathered clothes fell from the sky, dancing beautifully, like fairies scattering flowers, among which there was a woman in a white dress who was particularly eye-catching, thinking that this was the young girl.

The wind was blowing, and the veil on Nian Shu's face fell, revealing her beautiful face.

There was a sigh in the crowd, and they all praised that it was really a rare beauty.

"Her face is so fake!" Xuan Jinhuan frowned slightly and whispered.

"You mean, she's wearing a human skin mask?" Xie Lan thought for a moment about the meaning of Xuan Jinhuan's words.

Xuan Jinhuan nodded: "It should be right." It seems to be a play, but I don't know who this scene is for. ”

Xie Lan looked back at the beautiful woman on the high platform, and suddenly felt a chill.

However, at this moment, as if something flew from the crowd to the high platform, the woman who was still twisting her waist and dancing instantly fell on the high platform, and was silent; Her neck was cut by a dart, blood splattered on the spot, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.

Really! In fact, when they came here, they already had a vague premonition that something was going to happen.

The onlookers were all frightened by this sudden change, and after being stunned, they didn't know who was the first to let out a cry of fear, and then the screams came and went, and the lively scene was completely out of control.

Xie Lan turned around, but inadvertently saw a man standing in front of the window on the second floor of the teahouse opposite Yixiang Building, looking indifferently at everything opposite.

The dart just now was flying from the opposite side.

How did he end up here?

I don't know what I thought, Xie Lan's face showed a look of horror.

"What's wrong with you? You okay? Xuan Jinhuan was very worried when he saw Xie Lan suddenly like this, and then he followed his gaze and saw that person, and he was also stunned.

Emperor Chengji! How did he end up here?

Xie Lan immediately turned around as if he hadn't seen anything, and quietly disappeared into the vast sea of people with the scattered crowd.

After walking for a long time, Xie Lan stopped under the big locust tree, and Xuan Jinhuan said, "Just now, was it the emperor's hand?" Killed the young girl. ”

"Hmm." Xie Lan nodded bloodlessly.

If so, what is the origin of that Oiran?

On the night of Qixi Festival, such a thing suddenly happened, and Yixianglou was already surrounded by officers and soldiers.

I saw the firelight in the distance, reflecting half of the night.

After returning to Yunyan Pavilion, they told Master Xuan Si about this matter, and Lord Xuan Si sighed and said, "This Nian Shu is someone arranged by the Ning family. ”

"The Ning family?" Xie Lan was surprised, "Does that mean that Your Majesty already knows about the movements on the Ning family's side." ”

"It's uncertain, but it's possible." Master Xuan only said, "The Ning family is still covering things to the death, I'm afraid there are other mysteries in this." I can't figure out what the Ning family wants to do when they send an Oiran to Beijing like this. ”

Xuan Jinhuan remembered the obvious strange thing about the Oiran, and said to his stepmother: "Mother-in-law, when she was in front of Yixiang Building, that woman was wearing a human skin mask on her face. It's weird, I don't know why. ”

Hearing that there was such a thing, Master Xuan lightly held the case: "What is the purpose of the Ning family's troubles?" That year, there must have been some ulterior secret. ”

"It's just that now that she has been killed by the emperor, if we want to intervene again, I'm afraid we will startle the snake." Xuan Jinhuan said worriedly.

"The people over there in Danyang will have news soon." Master Xuan only said.

But until now, no one really understands what the Ning family's intention is to do this.

It wasn't until Song Fu, the master of the West Division, came back from Yong'an that he heard about the affairs of the royal capital, and his expression was ugly, and he asked: "That woman's name is Nian Shu?" She danced "Nine Days and Moon"? ”

According to what Song Yu said, Nian Shu's existence is comparable to a ghost story.

More than 30 years ago, there was also a woman named Nian Shu, who was the Oiran of the largest Chu Pavilion in the royal capital at that time, beautiful and unparalleled, and famous in the capital; On the night of Qixi Festival that year, she danced "Nine Days and Moon" on the high platform, which was amazing.

Immediately, Nian Shu was welcomed into the mansion by the general Xie Huan.

On the second day of Qixi Festival, the king of Yongding raised troops; Nian Shu assassinated the general Xie Huan, and then killed himself.

It turned out that this woman was the assassin of Yongding Wang An inserted into the capital, and the general Xie Heng was the uncle of the current Emperor Chengji.

Is there any connection between this year and that year 30 years ago? And why is the Ning family doing this now? Is it to imitate the behavior of King Yongding back then, or is it for some reason? It seems that the Ning family should be unable to bear it now, they want to act.

It's just that why Emperor Cheng Ji suddenly appeared opposite Yixiang Building that night, and then suddenly killed Nian Shu, which is even more puzzling.

Master Xuan was a little worried about Xie Lan's situation: "You were also outside Yixiang Mansion that day, did the emperor see you?" ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm wearing a human skin mask." Xie Lan hurriedly said.

"He is already a thousand-year-old demon, and a skin mask may not be able to deceive his eyes." Master Xuan sighed.

"Didn't my aunt say before that Your Majesty might find this side, and we should see each other again when the time comes." Xie Lan thought for a moment and then said; He was thinking that according to his aunt's plan, he would meet Emperor Chengji one day in the near future, and even if Emperor Chengji was sure that he was in the royal capital now, it would not hurt.

It's just that Master Xuan insisted on shaking his head: "It's different. Xie Jia, he is suspicious, I'm afraid there will be some kind of basket. After all, it's hard to say anything now. As she spoke, she glanced down at the Cold Shadow Sword that Xie Lan was carrying with her before continuing, "If he comes to embarrass you, you can stab him with the Cold Shadow Sword." ”

Xie Lan's expression froze completely.

He can't afford this crime of killing his father!
