Chapter VI Long-term Consideration
Even though Jiang Ning was repeatedly talking about the five thousand taels at her fingertips all the way, when she actually walked to the door of the Frost Hua Palace, she was still a little stunned.
The beautifully carved wooden plaque at the door had witnessed her death a few days ago, and now that she had set foot here, she felt a little inexplicably emotional.
Jiang Ning looked at the plaque and sighed, and said in his heart, is this Frost Hall her Yama Palace?
Xu is saw her stop here, the eunuch at the door bent over, and walked in front of Jiang Ning, with a little imperceptible flattery in his smile, "Niangniang, what is the important thing that you are here to find the noble concubine?" ”
She showed an embarrassed smile and waved her hand vigorously, "Ha, of course not, this palace is just passing by, just passing by." ”
Jiang Ning pretended to be relaxed and walked forward, while he couldn't stop looking towards the open door of the Frost Flower Palace.
The door of the main hall was hung with a pure white veil, and it was impossible to see what kind of scene was inside, and two well-dressed palace maids stood at the door, as quiet as two humanoid sculptures.
She didn't see Liu Jinfu's shadow, nor did she see the peacock's shadow.
Jiang Ning suddenly made a difficulty, the scale of this frost hall was at least three times that of the cold palace, how could such a large palace find the location of the peacock without being discovered, and then skillfully pluck a few feathers from the peacock's tail without being discovered?
Xu is saw Jiang Ning's hesitant expression, and the little eunuch always followed her with a flattering smile, "Niangniang, you..."
Jiang Ning looked at the little eunuch for a long time, but he didn't match him with any of the palace people in his impression.
But she still casually said nonsense, "Bengong is to see that you haven't come to listen to Bengong recently, and I wonder if you have encountered something important and want to ask." ”
Jiang Ning's lips pursed, and his eyes widened to observe the expression on the eunuch's face.
I saw that the eunuch was slightly stunned, and then his face showed joy, and he nodded vigorously at Jiang Ning, "It's hard to worry about my mother." The little eunuch grabbed his hair and showed a little shame on his face, "Actually, the slave only went twice, and the concubine was in charge of it, and the slave didn't dare..."
Hearing such a sentence, she finally exhaled with relief, "Seeing that you are fine, this palace is relieved." ”
The little eunuch smiled, "What can happen to the slave, there is food and drink in this Shuanghua Palace, and the concubine Niangniang has not treated the slave badly." ”
Jiang Ning's eyes rolled, and her face showed a little anxious, "This palace is worried that the peacock matter will implicate you..." she glanced left and right, stepped forward with a solemn expression, and lowered her voice to the little eunuch's ear, "Last time, the concubine Niangniang had a big temper!" ”
The little eunuch's palm patted lightly on Jiang Ning's sleeve, "Niangniang, you can rest assured, the concubine Niangniang did not lose her temper with the minions, not only that, but the concubine Niangniang likes the peacock feather hairpin you made very much..."
Hearing such a sentence, Jiang Ning instantly felt a little more confident in his heart, if the concubine's love for peacock feathers and hairpins was really like this little eunuch and folded willow, then this business of selling hairpins would not be able to make money.
After all, who among the girls in this world has not fantasized that she will be given the title of the first beauty in the world and marry the son of a true dragon?
Even if the dream can't be realized, it's not bad to have such a psychological sustenance!
Jiang Ning thought so, and bit his lower lip gently, this is a wealth sent to the door, don't be in vain!
"So...", she looked like she wanted to say something, "then, is that peacock called Jinxiu okay?" “
The little eunuch lowered his eyes and sighed, "After the peacock came back, he was depressed and finally starved to death." Xu was afraid that Jiang Ning would be sad, and the little eunuch changed his words, "But those peacocks sent by the queen are still well raised in the backyard of this Shuanghua Palace!" Mother, don't mind. ”
Jiang Ning was ecstatic, Rao was never expecting that it would be so easy for her to learn the whereabouts of the peacock.
She chatted with the little eunuch a few more words, and then ecstatic set out on the road to find the peacock.
According to the guidance of the little eunuch, Jiang Ning went around to the back of the Frost Hua Palace, where there was a bamboo forest adjacent to the Imperial Garden, but there was no trace of her.
Jiang Ning walked in the gap between the bamboo forest and the red wall, which was only three feet wide, she carefully bent over, and used her arms to push away the bamboo leaves little by little, but it was still inevitable that the wild bamboo leaves would scrape her delicate face, stabbing her cheeks with burning pain.
She walked all the way, carefully listening with her ear against the red wall.
Finally, as she reached the back of the palace, she heard a shrill peacock call.
Jiang Ning's footsteps slammed, and he hurriedly put his ear on the wall, for fear that he would hear it wrong if he was not careful.
At this moment, a clearer peacock cry came from inside, and the cry was very loud, which made Jiang Ning's ears hurt a little.
She was almost certain that the peacock was only a wall away from her.
Jiang Ning looked up at the red wall in front of him with a smile on his face.
The moment she looked up, the smile disappeared from her face.
In order to defend against the assassins and ensure the safety of the concubine, this palace wall was built extremely high and thick, and if it were not for his uneducated qualifications, it would never be easy to climb over this high wall.
And Jiang Ning, not to mention being petite, is even more powerless, and it is difficult to climb over the wall to enter.
It is impossible to dig a hole in the ground, and entering through the main entrance is tantamount to rushing to death, so maybe...
She looked left and right as she tried to find some tools for herself in the chaotic bamboo forest.
The bamboo is no more than the thickness of a teacup, and it is spring, and many young bamboo shoots break out of the ground, and even the bamboo forest has a bit of green green.
Jiang Ning chose a bamboo that looked the thickest, and the bamboo shook violently, and she pulled it completely to the waist.
Her heart jumped, and she didn't dare to think about what would happen if she stepped on it.
After staying in this bamboo forest for a long time, Jiang Ning still didn't have a clue. In desperation, she could only choose to think long-term.
However, Jiang Ning has never been a person who gives up easily, and after weighing everything in her heart, she still feels that dealing with beauties is much happier than working for the dog emperor.
So Jiang Ning troubled Lu Feng to help him make a ladder with a palace wall, and dismantled the ladder into a pile of wooden sticks that could be easily assembled.
On a dark and windy night, Jiang Ning held the pile of ladders that looked like firewood and set out on the road to the Frost Hua Palace.
Along the way, many palace maids and eunuchs cast surprised glances at Jiang Ning.
However, these eunuchs and palace maids already knew in their hearts that this lady was maverick, and it was not surprising that she was walking on the road with a pile of firewood at night.
After all, the emperor has no opinions, so what can these subordinates do?
So, Jiang Ning went so smoothly, and in full view of everyone, he came to the back of the Frost Hua Palace with a ladder.
