Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

The prison of the Dali Temple was filled with the smell of blood. A west wind blew through the cold corridor, making the torches on the wall flicker.

In the innermost cell of the prison, there was a tall wooden frame with various torture instruments placed on it. The torches cast the reflection of the wooden frame on the walls of the room. From a distance, it looked like a crawling, threatening beast.

"Ninth Miss." The jailer at the gate saw her, bowed politely and opened the door for her.

The chain tied to the door made a slight sound. Feng Jia walked in and a damp and musty smell hit her in the face. She frowned slightly, said nothing, and her eyes moved around.

Lu Xun was sitting against the wall with her long hair loose, drawing something on the ground with one hand. Her face was pale and her expression was dull. The loose prison uniform wrapped around her thin body made her look fragile, as if she would be blown down by the wind at any second.

At my feet was the food that had been delivered to me. Red oil had congealed on it, and it was completely cold and had not been touched at all.

Feng Jia moved her eyes downward and noticed Lu Xun's unusually shriveled stomach, and remembered what Jiang Yun had said to her before he came in.

"Lu Xun took an abortion pill two days before her wedding."

"The child is gone."

Feng Jia's brows furrowed even more tightly, and at this moment, she felt a gaze falling on her. It was Lu Xun's slightly stiff gaze looking in her direction.

"Don't waste your time." Lu Xun said.

"You ancient people, bring me any torture instruments you have. I will never yield!"

……

Ancient people? Sure enough.

Feng Jia took a step forward, squatted down, and looked at Lu Xun twice, finally stopping at her hands covered with red marks: "Did they torture you?"

Lu Xun stared at him with anger, "Stop pretending! I'm telling you, you won't learn a single thing from me..."

"I love you walking alone in a dark alley."

"..."

After a moment, Lu Xun hesitantly sang out: "Love the way you don't kneel?"

She looked at Feng Jia, and suddenly she shuddered and stood up, her pupils dilated, her eyes full of disbelief, and then infinite ecstasy: "You, you too..."

Feng Jia also stood up, looked at her at eye level, and answered for her with a smile: "Yes, I am also a time traveler."

In such a strange and dangerous world, being able to see one's own kind, "Land Cruiser" felt sad after his ecstasy, and his strong will collapsed at this moment.

It was like she had suffered a great injustice but didn't even cry, but a word of comfort from others made her burst into tears.

To her, Feng Jia's arrival was like a shot of placebo.

Lu Xun sniffed, forcing himself not to cry, and finally forced out an extremely ugly smile: "That's great!"

Great, she's not alone!

However, after the ecstasy, reason came back to mind, and the "Land Cruisers" were cautious: "Just a secret code is not enough for me to trust you."

"Lu Xun" curled his lips and said, "Who knows if you ancient people have discovered time travelers before me? It's possible to get a secret code from them. How about this, let me test you."

"Tell me, how many gold medals did our country win in the 08 Olympics?"

Feng Jia shook her head: "I don't know."

The Land Cruiser subconsciously took a step back, shielding his chest with his arms, his eyes full of vigilance.

Feng Jia's heart was slightly moved, and she said, "I traveled to this world when I was very young, so I don't know how many gold medals I have won in total."

"When I was very young?"

"Lu Xun" murmured and looked outside. No wonder the jailer was so respectful to her just now. It seemed that she had adapted well to this strange world and had a high status.

"However, I have a way to relieve your worries." Feng Jia paused and said, "Because I have a system."

"System?"

"Lu Xun" remembered the system prompt sound when he just came here.

But just as she was about to speak, she suddenly froze because she saw someone who looked exactly like her.

To be precise, it should be referring to a person whose face looks exactly like the body that I traveled through.

The Land Cruiser felt his heart tremble, and he suppressed his throat to prevent himself from shouting. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Is this the ability that your system gives you?"

"Disguise?"

Feng Jia smiled.

As she smiled, the mask on her face seemed to be cut in the middle. A pair of invisible hands pulled from both sides of the cut edge, and the mask slowly disappeared into the air.

Feng Jia returned to her original appearance.

"Lu Xun" finally believed it. She held back her tears and joy and held Feng Jia's hand: "You really are a time traveler, you really are. That's great."

"Well, that's great." Feng Jia held her hand in return. "What's your system?"

"Lu Xun" said: "Mine is a financial system. According to the system prompts, I need to earn 10 billion taels of silver in this world so that I can return to my original world. What is the concept of 10 billion taels of silver in this world? How much money is it equivalent to in our world?"

Feng Jia naturally didn't know the concept of money in their world, so she just said, "This is the Dali Dynasty. The annual treasury income is about 25 million taels of silver. The annual income of an ordinary family of four is about 10 taels of silver."

"Lu Xun" opened his mouth wide: "If you convert it this way, for an ordinary citizen like me to earn one billion taels here, I need... tens of millions, hundreds of millions, hundreds of thousands, millions... God, forty million years?"

The "Lu Xun" sat down on the ground: "With so much money, I'd rather die!"

After a while, he asked again, "What is my status in this Dali Dynasty?"

She looked at the prison uniform on her body. "A noble lady in distress? A white moonlight who was imprisoned by a domineering prince because she couldn't get his love?"

Feng Jia didn't quite understand some of the words, but judging from the other party's expectant expression, he must be of a high status. She coughed lightly and said, "...You are now a murderer who has been arrested and imprisoned."

"..."

"He will probably be executed in the autumn."

"how so?!"

"That's the end of this month."

"Fuck!"

Feng Jia comforted him: "I will help you. This is also the reason why I came here today, but not now. Please be patient and wait."

"really?"

Feng Jia nodded.

"Lu Xun" wiped the tears from his eyelashes and said, "Okay, I believe you. By the way, what's your name?"

Feng Jia thought of the letter and said, "My name is Zhong Qian."

"Lu Xun" asked: "What you learn from books is still shallow? Still shallow?"

Feng Jia did not correct him, but asked back: "What about you, what's your name?"

"Ning Shu Lou."

After a brief conversation, Ning Shulou learned that the body he traveled to was called Lu Xun, who killed someone in revenge for his sister Lu Qin. This time traveler, Zhong Qian, came to this fictional historical dynasty, the Dali Dynasty, at the age of five and became Xie Lanzhao, an unpopular concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"It's almost time, Ninth Miss." The jailer outside urged.

Feng Jia nodded to him, then turned to look at the nervous Ning Shulou, gently patted her hands that were hugging her left arm, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Shulou, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you, so before that, please be patient for a while."

Ning Shulou's messy long hair was scattered, but her eyes were particularly bright. She nodded, "Okay! Qianqian, I believe you."

Feng Jia gave her a reassuring smile, and turned away before leaving: "Remember what I told you."

"What you said to me..."

Ning Shulou murmured: "Don't say anything, don't believe anyone..."

She looked up, her eyes firm: "Okay!"

The heavy wooden door closed again. Ning Shulou followed Feng Jia's departing figure with her eyes until she could no longer see him. Then she squatted down and slowly retreated to the corner. She curled up into a ball, drawing circles on the ground with her fingers and muttering to herself.

"Don't say anything..."

"Do not trust anyone……"

……

"How was it?" Seeing her come out, Jiang Yun, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but ask, "Did Lu Xun say anything?"

Feng Jia glanced at Shi Xun, who had been silent on the side, and then turned his gaze back to Jiang Yun, shook his head, and said, "You refuse to say anything."

Jiang Yun sighed heavily, pacing back and forth anxiously: "Resurrection from the dead? This doesn't make sense! And this Lu Xun seems to have lost his memory... Could it be, could it be..."

"What?" Shi Xun glanced at him.

"Could it be..." Jiang Yun lowered his voice, "Could it be that the Taiping Sect's reincarnation array is really effective? Someone used a secret method to revive Lu Xun?"

"Nonsense." Shi Xun looked annoyed.

The three of them looked at each other in silence, and Feng Jia excused herself on the pretext that it was getting late. She did not take the Dali Temple's carriage, but rode a fast horse herself. However, she did not stop at the Prime Minister's Mansion, but went east until she arrived at a mansion.

The moon was setting in the west and it was already late at night. The concierge opened the door sleepily, only to be shocked to see a woman in blue standing at the door.

"you are?"

Feng Jia said in a cold voice: "I am Xie Lanzhao, and I want to see the Princess of Nancheng for something important."
