two cold

The emperor's dragon body has finally recovered, and the tense atmosphere in the palace has finally eased in the past few days. The maids secretly whispered to each other after work, which made the harem's voices increase again.

When Si Lian came to Yan Shang Palace, she also heard Jing Feng's loud laughter.

Jing Feng, who was chatting and laughing with Yan Shanggong, saw the person coming, and couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Si Lian, what are you holding in your hand?"

"This is an item that the empress of the most noble palace wants to give to her." Si Lian carefully placed the long wooden box on the couch, and when it was uncovered, it turned out to be a set of gold-painted tea sets, with traces hidden in the black glaze luxury.

"I have received this kindness." Yan Shanggong stroked the tea set calmly, and said with a gentle smile, "As a return gift, please Si Lian tell a story to the empress of the most noble palace."

As soon as he heard that there was a story to listen to, Jing Feng rushed to Yan Shanggong with a whoosh, rolling his eyes. "Ma'am, are you going to tell a story?"

"Heaven and earth are beginning to unfold, and the Three Kingdoms are still fighting each other. Prince Haotong of Goguryeo traveled to Wozu and met Princess Lelang. Yi Nian encourages Princess Le Lang to destroy the self-sounding drum, the artifact of the town. The self-sounding drum is a fetish of Le Lang. If the enemy invades, it will sing without striking. This is why Le Lang is safe. Princess Le Lang heard Haotong was terrified when he made such a request, but Haotong even bluntly said that he will attack Le Lang on a certain day of the month. If the princess does not break the Ziming Drum, he will die in battle. Only by breaking the Ziming Drum can the two be together forever. Shou..." The two of them forgot to listen to the story enthralled, Yan Shanggong stopped talking, and asked instead: "What do you think Princess Le Lang should do?"

"Of course you can't break the drum!" After Jing Feng finished speaking, he showed distress again. "I don't know what to say. If the drum is broken, the people of Lelang Kingdom will be engulfed in the flames of war. How can there be justice? But I don't want Haotong to die either... Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?" ?”

"So you chose the country and righteousness?"

"...Does Haotong have to break Le Lang?"

"Good boy knows it's wrong, but still refuses to let go because of his own attachments. There are many people in this world like this." Yan Shanggong put away his smile and looked at Si Lian. "What did you do?"

--------------------------

"So Yan Shanggong wants you to tell this story?"

Seeing Si Lian nod her head in acquiescence, Jinying couldn't help but feel turmoil in her heart. "Yan Shanggong didn't tell Princess Le Lang's ending, but asked you how you did it. How did you answer?"

"My answer is the same as Jing Feng's, but..." Si Lian also showed some doubts when she recalled what happened at that time. "Mistress Yan Shanggong asked me again, if King Lelang's tyranny and injustice caused people to die, would you stick to the original choice?"

"What did you say?"

"In "The Analects", Ye Gong said to Confucius: "There are people who are straight in our party, and their father is a sheep, and the son proves it." Confucius said: "The straight people in our party are different from each other. The father is hidden from the son, and the son is the father. Concealment is in it.’ I will answer with what Confucius said about father and son concealing each other. Regardless of whether King Lelang was tyrannical or not, children should not behave in a wrong way.” Si Lian I didn't think my answer was wrong, but the next question hit my heart. "Yan Shanggong just smiled, and asked me again, if today I have to choose between the person I care about most and the dark and filthy family, is the answer the same?"

Jinying, who had already understood the meaning, closed her eyes lightly. "Silian, what's your answer?"

"Yes, empress." Si Lian waited for a long time and was silent, she couldn't help but raised her head and asked: "Empress, what is the story that Yan Shanggong empress wants me to convey..."

"Go to Yanshang Palace when you have time, you will definitely benefit a lot." Jinying didn't want to say any more, and made an excuse to go to the imperial kitchen after explaining a few words.

Although she knew Yan Yan's background was not simple from all the previous encounters, Jinying still felt a little embarrassed to be seen through her inner thoughts nakedly.

After turning a corner with heavy thoughts, Jinying saw a figure not far away, and called out: "Ah Hong."

"Is there something wrong with your majesty calling the little one?"

Leading Ah Hong to a remote place, Jin Yingfang asked, "You were in charge of trying the sulfur duck at that time, right?"

Hearing this, Ah Hong widened her eyes in panic, not knowing how to answer.

"Did someone ask you about this recently?" Jinying looked at Ah Hong coldly, and saw that the latter had her lips tightly closed, with an uncomfortable expression on her face.Jinying unconsciously accentuated her tone: "Yes or no, tell me honestly!"

Threatened by the most noble palace, Ah Hong almost burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Jang Geum... Jang Geum who is now a medical girl did come to me, but I said I don't know anything, you have to believe me, ma'am. !"

Jinying's voice faintly suppressed a trace of fluctuation. "Then Titiao Shanggong has come to look for you?"

"No... Empress Cui Shanggong never came to see me..."

"Listen well," Jinying's expression darkened, and his tone was serious. "In the future, if Ti Tiao Shanggong comes to see you, you must never say that you have met Jang Geum, and you must not even mention today's affairs. In the palace, your behavior must be as usual, and you must not show the slightest difference."

Seeing Ah Hong's obedient departure, Jinying's heart is not as calm as it appears on the surface, but the waves are surging.Since Jang Geum has already asked Ah Hong about the past, he will also ask the internal medicine doctor to verify it, and everything will be uncovered layer by layer...

Jin Ying's thoughts were tossed and turned in an instant, as if everything was squeezed in an instant, and she could indeed only pave the way for the future in an instant.

"Ms. Chang Jin, what did Princess Le Lang do in the end? Your Majesty has been refusing to tell me!" In Madam Shuyuan's residence, Jing Feng, who had finished telling the story, clapped his hands on his knees and complained to Chang Jin beside him.

Lian Sheng, who was fascinated by the audience, couldn't help asking: "Jang Jin, have you heard this story outside the palace? I also want to know the ending..."

Jang Geum smiled, and when he was about to answer, Min Shanggong and A Chang broke in in a panic: "Jang Geum, have you heard about that incident?!"

Lian Sheng looked around in a daze, only to see that after Min Shanggong took a deep breath, a series of words spewed out. "I heard that the internal medicine doctor committed suicide not long after Jang Geum you went to see him yesterday!"

"Although it is said to be a suicide, could it be that the Cui family is at all---" A Chang swiped his right hand across his neck.

Lian Sheng covered his mouth and shouted urgently: "If the internal medicine doctor is dying, won't the matter of the sulfur duck come to nothing?"

"Jang Geum, you must have thought of a way, right?" Min Sanggong asked, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Jang Geum.

Chang Jin looked at the crowd, but said to Jing Feng: "Please go to Jiang Ti Tiao Shang Palace and the Supreme Palace. Please tell the Supreme Palace, it is under the poplar tree next to the gazebo not far from the imperial dining kitchen. , I'll wait for her there."

The author has something to say: 1. About the Ziminggu, it is a widely circulated story in North Korea, but the TV series "Princess Ziminggu" is only as good as OST, basically the plot is far from the original legend. up.

2. Regarding the Analects of Confucius, there was a sheep thief in Ye Gongguo, and the son testified that the father stole the sheep, but Confucius believed that this was not a real straight bow.This Analects has also aroused justification in jurisprudence.
