After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Chapter 7 I Have Been Waiting For A Long Time

In the middle of the night, a cold mist shrouded the palace, and the whole palace slept peacefully in the night, with only a few sporadic night lights emitting weak lights.

In the palace road, the watchman's nose was red with cold, and his hand holding the mallet was trembling.

Even though he was wrapped in a thick padded jacket, he still couldn't help it because of the cold spring.He rubbed his eyes sleepily, then dropped the hammer weakly, and the crisp sound of the hammer resounded throughout the inner courtyard of the palace, causing echoes.

At this moment, at the corner of Shuanghua Palace, Jiang Ning couldn't stop shivering.She rubbed her nose that was aching from the cold, picked up the wooden stick in her hand, and tremblingly fought towards the half-finished ladder.

The bright moon hangs high, and the silver-white moonlight passes through the bamboo forest, casting a faint bamboo shadow on Jiang Ning.The night wind blew past, the bamboo shadow swayed, and Jiang Ning couldn't help shivering.The sound of the watch 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 own ladder.I don't know if it was because of the cold wind in the middle of the night that made her hands tremble, but she couldn't put together the ladder with only one section left after struggling for a long time.

Jiang Ning picked up the piece of wood again and approached the ladder in the group. Just as she was about to embed it, the moonlight disappeared instantly.

She touched the original track and moved towards the ladder, but helplessly, her hand holding the wooden stick deviated in that short distance, and the wooden stick fell into the air against the gap.

It was pitch black all around, and she looked up at the sky, only to see a large group of dark clouds completely blocking the moon.

Jiang Ning sighed silently, and felt for a long time in the dark night, but still couldn't insert it.

Finally, she was no longer stubborn, and prepared to take out her own torch to assist in lighting.

Helpless, she groped aimlessly on the ground beside her for a long time, but still couldn't find Huo Zhezi's whereabouts.

Jiang Ning carefully recalled it for a long time, and she clearly remembered that when the night was still clear, she still remembered the whereabouts of Huoziezi, but now, she groped through her memory, but couldn't find it.

The night wind disturbed the bamboo leaves rustling, her nose was itchy from the cold, and after several sneezes, Jiang Ning slumped to the ground.

Feeling sleepy, Jiang Ning threw away the wooden stick in his hand, curled up into a ball, rubbed his numb hands vigorously, and continued to think about countermeasures.

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

All the drowsiness disappeared in an instant, Jiang Ning stood up abruptly, looked towards the source of the light, and saw a faint light glowing inside the high wall of Shuanghua Palace.

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

She breathed out a sigh of relief, and almost lost all strength and fell to the ground.

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

Subconsciously, she reached out and picked up the foreign object. With the help of the dim light, she found that it was exactly the torch 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 5000 taels of silver.

The lights of Shuanghua Hall were instantly extinguished, Jiang Ning clenched his fists, and punched his already numb legs twice, making the numbness dissipate a little.

She propped herself up against the wall and put the ladder on the wall in the dark.

Perhaps because the ground was not smooth, Jiang Ning wobbled while climbing, and Jiang Ning nearly fell several times.

She stepped onto the last ladder with difficulty, groped her right hand to grab the top of the palace wall, clenched it tightly, and stretched her other hand towards the palace wall.

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

She swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and knelt on her lap, her fingers clasping the gaps in the palace wall with difficulty, so she could barely maintain her balance.

The inside of Shuanghua Palace was pitch black, as if the entire palace had already fallen into a peaceful sleep for a long time.

For a moment, Jiang Ning even doubted whether the light not long ago was real or her fantasy.

Looking at the sleeping palace, she suddenly realized a serious matter.

In Shuanghua Palace, there was no one to support her at all. If she wanted to enter Shuanghua Palace, she could only jump in directly.

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

She tried her best to look down, but still couldn't see why.

"5000 taels, 5000 taels, 5000 taels..." Jiang Ning muttered to herself encouragingly, her legs were already numb from her pressure, if she continued to delay, she would eventually fall off.

She can only gamble on luck.

Jiang Ning changed from kneeling to squatting, kicked his feet, and was about to jump into the palace.

Helpless, her legs were numb and she couldn't exert any strength, so she fell down from the palace wall.

She landed face-up on a piece of soft grass, and a dull pain hit Jiang Ning's back. She supported her back and curled up into a ball.

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

The moonlight carrying all Jiang Ning's hopes poured on her again.

She stood up reluctantly while supporting her aching 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 beside her.

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

She stood up with support on her back, grabbed the fence and was about to climb towards the peacock garden.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." From a distance, a clear female voice came towards Jiang Ning. The female voice had no emotion at all, and was even colder than the cold wind in the middle of the night.

Jiang Ning froze, and shyly withdrew her hand that was holding onto the fence.

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

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

And on her right hand, there was a long whip the thickness of a finger.

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

She stared blankly at Liu Jinfu, watching the moonlight flowing down from her unadorned black hair like a waterfall, covering her body with a layer of hazy silver.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and the moonlight made her plain white face more and more radiant and jade-like. She blended with the moonlight like that, but she was even more beautiful than the bright moon.

Jiang Ning just looked at her quietly without any unnecessary movements.

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

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

"Concubine Ning visited my Shuanghua Palace late at night, what's the matter?"
