In the middle of the night, a cold mist hung over the palace, and the whole palace slept peacefully in the night, except for the faint light of a few night lights.

In the palace road, the nose of the watchman was red from the cold, and the hand holding the gavel trembled.

Although he was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, he still couldn't help it. He rubbed his eyes sleepily, and the sound of the hammer was weak, and the crisp sound of the beating resounded in the inner courtyard of the palace, stirring up bursts of echoes.

At this time, in the corner of the Frost Hua Palace, Jiang Ning couldn't stop shivering. She rubbed her nose, which was a little sore from the cold, picked up the stick in her hand, and trembled towards the half-finished ladder.

The bright moon hung high, and the silver-white moonlight passed through the bamboo forest, and a bamboo shadow fell on Jiang Ning. The night breeze blew, the bamboo shadow swayed, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but shiver. The sound of beating came from the palace road in the distance, and it was a little lonely in this silent night.

At this time, Jiang Ning was concentrating on assembling his ladder. I don't know if it was because of the wind chill in the middle of the night that caused her hands to tremble, and there was originally only one section of the ladder left, and she couldn't put it together firmly after fighting for a long time.

Jiang Ning picked up the wooden stick again and approached the ladder in the group, and just as she was about to embed, the moonlight instantly disappeared.

She felt her original trajectory and walked towards the ladder, but helplessly, her hand holding the stick shifted in the short distance, and the stick grazed the gap and fell into the air.

It was pitch black all around, and she looked up at the sky, only to see a large cloud blocking the moon tightly.

Jiang Ning sighed silently, groping around in the dark night for a long time with his feelings, but he still couldn't embed.

Finally, she was no longer stubborn and was ready to take out her own fire fold to assist the lighting.

Helpless, she groped aimlessly on the ground beside her for a long time, but she still couldn't see the whereabouts of the fire break.

Jiang Ning recalled carefully for a long time, she clearly remembered that when the night was still clear, she still remembered the whereabouts of the fire fold, but now, she was groping with her memory, but she couldn't find it.

The night wind disturbed the rustling of bamboo leaves, her nose was itchy from the cold, and after sneezing a few times, Jiang Ning fell to the ground.

When sleepiness hit, Jiang Ning casually threw away the wooden stick in his hand, curled up his body into a ball, rubbed his numb hands vigorously, and continued to think about countermeasures.

Suddenly, a faint warm light reflected from within the palace wall, illuminating a small dead leaf at Jiang Ning's feet.

All the drowsiness was swept away in an instant, Jiang Ning got up suddenly, looked at the source of the light, and saw a faint light lit up inside the high walls of the Frost Palace.

The cold and sleepiness forced Jiang Ning to stop thinking about it, and she embed the last part into the ladder with all her spirits.

She exhaled with relief, and the whole person almost fell to the ground.

The moment he fell, Jiang Ning suddenly found that a foreign object seemed to be pressing under his leg.

She subconsciously reached out and touched it, picked up the foreign object, and by the faint light, she found that this was the fire fold she had been looking for for a long time without success.

She sighed helplessly, lamenting that it was really not easy for her to earn the five thousand taels of silver.

The lights of the Frost Hall went out instantly, and Jiang Ning clenched his fists with both hands and punched his already numb legs twice, making the numbness dissipate a little.

She stood up against the wall and set up the ladder against the wall in the dark.

Xu was because the ground was not very smooth, Jiang Ning staggered during the climbing, and Jiang Ning almost fell down several times.

She stepped onto the last section of the ladder with difficulty, groped her right hand and grasped the top of the palace wall, clenched it, and reached for the palace wall with her other hand.

Jiang Ning exerted his hands with both hands, his feet broke away from the ladder, and he stepped on the top of the palace wall with difficulty.

She swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and the whole person knelt on her lap, and her ten fingers were hard to clasp the gap in the palace wall, so that she could barely maintain the balance of her body.

The Frost Hall was pitch black, as if the entire palace had already fallen asleep for a long time.

For a moment, Jiang Ning even wondered if the light from not long ago was real or her fantasy.

She looked at the sleeping palace and suddenly realized something serious.

In the Frost Flower Palace, there was no one to answer her at all, and if she wanted to enter the Frost Hua Palace, she could only jump directly into it.

And she didn't know if the place she jumped on was a lawn, a dry well, or a sharp fence.

She tried her best to look down, but she still couldn't see the slightest reason.

"Five thousand taels, five thousand taels, five thousand taels..."Jiang Ning thought like self-encouragement, her legs had been numb by her, and if she continued to delay, she would eventually fall.

She could only gamble on her luck.

Jiang Ning changed from kneeling to squatting, and with a kick under his feet, he was about to jump towards the palace.

Helplessly, her legs were numb, she couldn't exert her strength, and the whole person fell from the palace wall.

She landed head-on on a soft grass, and a dull pain hit Jiang Ning's back, she held her back, and the whole person curled up in a ball.

In a daze, she found that the moon broke through the clouds and reappeared in the night sky.

The moonlight, which carried all the hopes of Jiang Ning, poured on her again.

She barely got up with her sore back, and when she looked up, she saw a peacock tilting its head and looking at her curiously in a small garden enclosed by a fence on her side.

All the pain and cold disappeared the moment Jiang Ning saw the peacock.

She got up on her back, grabbed the fence and prepared to climb towards the peacock garden.

"You're finally here, and this palace has been waiting for you for a long time." In the distance, a clear female voice came towards Jiang Ning, and the female voice did not carry the slightest emotion, even a little colder than the cold wind in the middle of the night.

Jiang Ning stiffened, and her hand that was originally holding the fence retracted.

"Good evening, concubine." Her heart was beating wildly, but she still turned around and looked at Liu Jinfu.

At this time, Liu Jinfu was wearing a silk pure white shirt and sitting under the eaves.

On her right hand side was a long whip the thickness of a finger.

However, Jiang Ning didn't even have time to think about what the use of that long whip was, and whether it would fall on her.

She looked at Liu Jinfu in a daze, watching the moonlight flow down her waterfall-like black hair without any embellishment, covering her with a hazy silver white.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and the moonlight reflected her plain white face more and more as jade, she blended with the moonlight like that, but it was a little more beautiful than the bright moon.

Jiang Ning just looked at her quietly, without any extra movements.

The night wind howled, unscrupulously poured into Liu Jinfu's sleeves, making her whole body more and more light and thin.

Inexplicably, Jiang Ning even had the illusion that she might run to the moon at any time.

"Concubine Ning visited my Frost Hall late at night, but what's the matter?"
