Chapter 6
Even though Jiang Ning kept talking about the 5000 taels that she could get at her fingertips, she was still a little apprehensive when she actually walked to the gate of Shuanghua Palace.

The beautifully carved wooden plaque at the door just witnessed her near-death a few days ago, and now that she set foot here again, she felt inexplicably moved.

Jiang Ning looked at the plaque and lamented, thinking, is this Shuanghua Palace her Yan Luo Palace?

Xu Shi saw her stop here, the eunuch at the door bent over and walked towards Jiang Ning, with a slightly flattering smile on his face, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you here looking for the imperial concubine?"

She showed an awkward smile with some guilt, and waved her hands vigorously, "Ha, of course not, I am just passing by, just passing by."

Jiang Ning walked forward pretending to be relaxed, and couldn't stop looking into the open gate of Shuanghua Palace.

A pure white veil was hung at the entrance of the main hall, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Two well-dressed maids stood at the entrance, 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 encountered a difficulty. Visually, the scale of the Shuanghua Palace is at least three times that of the Leng Palace. How can such a large palace find the location of the peacock without being discovered, and then cleverly find the location of the peacock? How many feathers can be plucked from the tail without being noticed?
Seeing Jiang Ning's expression of hesitation, Xu Shi always followed her side with a flattering smile on the little eunuch, "Your Majesty..."

Jiang Ning stared at the little eunuch for a long time, but he didn't match him with any palace man in his impression.

But she still said something nonsense, "I see that you haven't come to listen to Ben Gong's storytelling recently, and I was thinking about whether something important happened to you, so I wanted to ask."

Jiang Ning pursed his lips tightly and stared wide-eyed at the expression on the eunuch's face.

The eunuch was startled for a moment, then with a look of joy on his face, he kept nodding and bowing to Jiang Ning, "I'm sorry for your empress." The little eunuch scratched his hair, showing a little shyness, "Actually, the slave just went to It’s only been done twice, the imperial concubine is very strict, and the servant dare not..."

Hearing such a sentence, she finally let out a breath of relief, "Seeing that you are fine, I am relieved."

The little eunuch smiled all over his face, "What will happen to the slave, this Shuanghua Palace has food and drink, and the imperial concubine did not treat the slave badly."

Jiang Ning rolled her eyes, and her face showed a bit of anxiety, "I am worried that you will be involved in the peacock incident..." She looked around, stepped forward with a solemn expression, lowered her voice and leaned into the little eunuch's ear, "The imperial concubine lost her temper last time!"

The little eunuch patted Jiang Ning's sleeve lightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial concubine has not lost her temper with the servants, not only that, but the imperial concubine really likes the peacock feather hairpin you made..."

Hearing such a sentence, Jiang Ning felt a little more confident in his heart. If the imperial concubine really loved the peacock feather hairpins as much as the little eunuch and Zheliu, then the business of selling hairpins would not worry about making money .

After all, is there any girl in this world who hasn't fantasized about being given the title of the most beautiful woman in the world and marrying the son of a real dragon?
Even if the dream cannot be realized, it is not bad to have such a psychological sustenance!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning bit her lower lip lightly, this is the wealth that comes to her door, don't want it for nothing!

"So..." She seemed hesitant to speak, "Then, is that peacock named Jinxiu all right?"

The little eunuch lowered his eyes and sighed, "After the peacock came back, he was unhappy, and finally starved to death." Xu was afraid that Jiang Ning would be sad, so the little eunuch changed the subject, "But the peacocks sent by the empress are still in the Shuanghua Palace The backyard is well maintained! The empress doesn’t need to worry about it.”

Jiang Ning was ecstatic, but she never expected that it would be so easy for her to know the whereabouts of the peacock.

She chatted with the little eunuch for a few more words, and then embarked on the road to find the peacock ecstatically.

According to the guidance of the little eunuch, Jiang Ning walked around to the back of the Shuanghua Palace, which is adjacent to a bamboo forest in the Imperial Garden, but no trace of her was found.

Jiang Ning walked hard in the gap that was only three feet wide between the bamboo forest and the red wall. She carefully bent her body and used her arms to push aside the bamboo leaves bit by bit, but it was still inevitable that the savage bamboo leaves would scrape She touched her delicate face, causing her cheeks to burn and hurt.

She walked all the way, carefully listening with her ear against the red wall.

Finally, when she walked to the back of the palace, she heard a shrill peacock cry.

Jiang Ning's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he quickly pressed his ears to the wall, for fear that he might hear it wrong if he didn't pay attention.

At this moment, there was a clearer peacock cry from inside. The cry was so loud that Jiang Ning's ears hurt a little.

She was almost certain that there was only a wall between the peacock and herself.

Jiang Ning looked up at the red wall in front of him with a smile on his face.

The moment she raised her head, the smile disappeared instantly from her face.

In order to ward off assassins and protect the safety of the concubine, the palace wall was built extremely high and thick. If one hadn't possessed unique skills, one would never have been able to easily climb over this high wall.

And Jiang Ning, not to mention his petite body, has no strength to restrain a chicken. If he wants to climb over the wall and enter, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky.

Digging a hole in the ground is absolutely impossible, and entering through the main entrance is tantamount to rushing to death, so maybe...

While looking around, she tried to find some tools that could be used by herself from the messy bamboo forest.

The bamboo was no more than the thickness of a teacup. It was spring, and many young shoots broke through the ground, and even the bamboo forest was a bit green.

Jiang Ning chose a bamboo that looked the thickest, and the bamboo shook violently, and she pulled it so that it was completely bent.

Her heart skipped a beat, she didn't dare to think about the consequences if she stepped on it.

After staying in this bamboo forest for a long time, Jiang Ning still had no clue.In desperation, she could only choose to think long-term.

However, Jiang Ning has never been a person who gives up easily. 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 asked Lu Feng to help him make a ladder that was as high as the palace wall, and then dismantled the ladder into a pile of wooden sticks that could be easily assembled.

On a dark and windy night, Jiang Ning embarked on the road to Shuanghua Palace with a pile of ladders that looked like firewood.

Along the way, many court ladies and eunuchs cast surprised glances at Jiang Ning.

However, these eunuchs and court ladies already knew in their hearts that this empress was a maverick, and it was not surprising that they were walking on the road with a pile of firewood at night.

After all, the emperor has no opinion, so what can these servants do?

So, Jiang Ning went so smoothly, and under the eyes of everyone, he carried the ladder to the back of Shuanghua Palace.
