two cold

Jinying watched her aunt sit through the whole night to watch the clepsydra, the sound of the clepsydra flowing water was soft and silent, such an aunt would not know that she was also sleepless all night, and got up early in the morning to go away.

Today Maoshi is the time for the verdict of the conspiracy case. Before dawn, Jinying left the boring harem, but at the place where the court must pass, he saw that the inner guards would stop Wu Jianhu. The two seemed to be talking about something. What, in the end the internal guards shook their sleeves and left in displeasure.

Jinying strode forward to greet Wu Jianhu.

"Oh? It's Jinying?"

"My lord, I just saw you talking with the inner guard..."

Seemingly dissatisfied with Jinying's questioning, Wu Jianhu frowned in displeasure: "Are you questioning me?"

"Jin Ying just wanted to confirm whether Han Sang Gong and Jang Geum will be sentenced to death today?"

"I told Cui Shanggong about this." Wu Jianhu pondered for a moment and asked, "Why does your Cui family want Han Shanggong's life so much? Is there any reason in her hands?"

"Yes." Jinying replied firmly. "Your Excellency cannot be implicated in this matter, but the Cui family has the weakness of being strangled by others. Please kill them rather than let them go."

"I see, you go down."

Seeing Wu Jianhu walk into the Yizheng Hall, Jinying quickly went back to the room to search for things, this action startled Ling Lu and A Chang who were in the same room.

"Jinying, what are you doing?" Ling Lu jumped up like a mouse, obviously frightened by Jinying's rare behavior.

A Chang, who was hiding far away, asked puzzledly, "Today is the day for the sentencing of Niangniang and Jang Jin, won't you, Jin Ying, listen to the verdict?"

Jinying found out the blouse, put it on her arm, and hurried out, without even saying a word, just like a gust of wind that came and went without a trace.

"With Jinying's appearance, are you going to leave the palace?" Achang asked Linglu worriedly.

Ling Lu turned around and stomped his feet. "how could I know?"

After handing over the Han Talisman to the guard at the gate, Jinying put on her cloak and went out of the palace gate smoothly.The morning market outside the palace is just about to start. Jinying sees the people passing by, the mother holding her daughter's hand, carefully selecting the ingredients; there are also a few children holding hands in circles, and she also sings when she was young. Maybe the life outside the palace is very good, there will be no more scheming struggles, no need to be fettered by power, even if you are an official and servant, you will have the freedom to enjoy the pain.

──Suddenly covering his eyes.

She understood that those were just her self-deception.

There was a commotion from the crowd, Jinying turned her head and saw the palace gate slowly opening, and a group of officers and soldiers escorted two women with dirty faces and disheveled white clothes to come out.Jinying took a step back, letting the crowd of spectators swarm and drown in the crowd.

She saw Han Shanggong who was staggering at a glance, but she could only watch silently, not daring to take a step.

"Jinying, promise me, don't use cooking to harm others in the future, it's not in your nature."

"Ma'am, I can't do it."

In the dungeon, she denied Han Shanggong's last wish, because it was something she could not achieve.In the midst of the political vortex, her nature has already deteriorated. The only thing she can do is to push Si Lian to the shore, so that the future imperial kitchen will become a place for real cooking.

She finally paid her last self-esteem and pride, as all the Cui family expected, and became the Cui family she least wanted to be.

Who caused her to become this kind of person?It was Xu Changjin, the one who took away even the last trace of her dignity!She doesn't hate Min Jung Ho because of her special feelings for Jang Geum, it just means that she admits that she is not as good as a little girl who could only cry when she first came to the court; no, maybe what she really hates is Jang Geum's imperfections .She is the Cui Jinying who didn't know what tears are since she was a child. She is the Cui Jinying who grew up in a luxurious cage and never stepped on the outside land. She stood at the highest point of her life from the beginning, and she was destined to be destroyed only downward .But Xu Changjin, that Xu Changjin who seems to have nothing, is like a seed short of water, constantly absorbing nutrients to swell and sprout, and he can't see the withering on the other side.

She hated Xu Changjin, hated that unfettered courage and freedom.

But her eyes were firmly fixed on the still stubborn figure, and she heard an inexplicable pain in her heart.

Those slender feet that were shackled by shackles once accompanied her to go out of the palace to look for golden roosters; the hands that were firmly shackled by shackles once cooked and finished cooking together; Those eyes, once looked up at her like stars; the lips/petals once said beautiful words, and the fragrance like green grass...

With her fingertips embedded in her palm, she forced herself to turn her head away in pain, away from the familiar gaze chasing after dawn in the distance.How could she reveal her weakness or meanness in front of those eyes?

Xu Changjin, then just hate me.Many years ago, there was only one monotonous landscape in my world. Maybe you will understand the feeling of loneliness and despair in the future.Then we're equal, maybe I won't hate you anymore, just you?

Among the noisy crowd, Jinying sneaked back to the palace gate in a lonely body.

The palace is a dark road, and the silent buildings are gloomy. Under the tallest poplar tree in the palace, which has returned to late autumn, stands her aunt.The aunt's back was blown by the desolate and gloomy business wind, silently looking up at the tree trunk without branches and leaves.

"My heart hurts, right?"

When the aunt told her the decision to execute Han Shanggong, she finally murmured.No matter how much she fights no matter how much she hates, she is always the maid of honor in the harem, how do you explain this feeling?She respected her aunt's condolences, and only detoured to keep her own silence.

The reflection of the gazebo makes the water waves like a mirror, which is completely different from the waves in the heart lake.

Like a stone thrown into the middle of a lake, she can only move forward without regret.

She wants to tell her mother that she is only one step away from the position of the most noble palace, and she will eventually become the highest in charge of the imperial kitchen.

She bet on Wu Jianhu's suspicion of the Cui family, and gave someone a handle in exchange for a proviso of exile. Now she must find a way to fill this gap, so that the Cui family can gradually get rid of the provocations of political forces.

There is a long, long way to go, and there are still many reforms to be done, and the promise of the year must be fulfilled to renovate the imperial kitchen... But seeing the water ripples slightly, she turned around happily and shouted: "Jang Geum, look at the water on the water. fish---"

Only the gazebo is quiet.Years and months are silent.

Youth is a gear without resentment turning forward, and the young man who once stepped on the flower and felt sentimental for the fragrance of a petal, now turning around, the shadow of twos and threes is only left alone.
