two cold

When the dawn catches the sun and falls into the world, it seems like a dagger that can't wait to cut open the drowsy dagger, illuminating the scenery in front of you, and the clusters of fruit trees bend over and sway.

Only then did Jang Geum feel his eyes wet, and the emotions that had been peaceful all night surged like the dawn.

The garden keeper, Shi Shi, came from one end of the orchard carrying a hoe, and seeing Chang Jin, his eyes widened in surprise: "Aren't you the girl who came here with Miss Jin Ying?"

"Uncle, do you still recognize me?"

"Miss Jinying seldom got together with people before. You are her friend, of course I remember. Didn't Miss Jinying come with you this time?" The middle-aged man guarding the garden stroked his beard and laughed.

Jang Geum didn't answer the question, but only said, "Uncle, can I go into the orchard? Or..."

"Of course!" The man waved his hand and led Chang Jin into the garden. "A few years ago, Ms. Jinying would come to the orchard and stand under the ginkgo tree you see now... In fact, the smell of falling ginkgo leaves is so unpleasant, but Ms. Jinying just stood there. How many hours..."

Jang Jin walked under the ginkgo tree and stood at the position that Uncle Cai pointed out, but was caught by a place in the distance.

It was a clump of wild strawberry trees, the wind blowing the leaves dazzled the eyes, as if seeing that still young girl full of wild strawberries, the person standing under the tree narrowed his eyes slightly due to the strong sunlight, and moved the corners of his mouth smile.When the girl folded her hands and staggered towards her, the man gently reached out to support her and said, "It's getting late, the empress Han Shanggong and the empress Cui Shanggong are waiting for us to go back."

The man stood there for several hours.

The man was always silent and never told her what was going on in his heart, he just watched it like this for several hours.

Standing at the same place, I seem to hear the wind whispering that the time has been ground into a trickle and leaked away secretly.

"The younger one is Jang Geum, may I come in?"

"come in."

Chang Jin stood in front of Zhu Zixuan, and when he entered the door, he saw Jin Ying's indifferent expression.

"What's matter?"

"Your Majesty, just for a while, just for a while, I want to go back to the old days when I was in the imperial kitchen, can you promise me?" Chang Jin leaned forward and said earnestly.

A gleam flashed in Jinying's eyes, but then she said in a deep voice, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Jinying, please tell the truth, please, please let me forgive you, please? For you, your self-esteem is more important than the safety of your family."

Jinying snorted coldly. "How much do you really know about me? Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Isn't it? Did I say something wrong? Otherwise, why did you use the method taught by Mistress Han Shanggong to train the wife of the imperial kitchen?" Although it was subtle, Jang Geum had already caught a trace of wavering in Jinying's expression. "I beg you. Since your heart follows Han Shanggong, your actions should also follow her. Jinying, actually, I don't want to hate you, because hating someone is as painful as loving someone."

Jinying looked deeply at Jang Jin, with an extremely weird expression on his face, as if some words wanted to come out but were suppressed forcefully, replaced by a howl squeezed out from his throat: "I must hate in pain A person must also love someone painfully. It’s all because of you, the one who trampled on my self-esteem is you!”

"It's just your excuse..."

Jinying almost impatiently interrupted everything Jang Geum said, and only pointed to the door resentfully. "go out!"

"Self-esteem will not be trampled by others, only you can hurt yourself."

"Get out—get out!"

Seeing Jinying move his hand away from the table, Chang Jin also lowered his palm, but called out sincerely: "Jinying..."

Jinying turned her head, leaving behind a cold silhouette.

Jang Geum finally paused, sat back to his original position, and resumed his identity as a medical girl.Chang Jin bowed deeply. "Niang Niang, I did this because I spent the time of my wife with you. This is the last classmate love──I have a suicide note in my hand."

Chang Jin bowed his head and walked out, clearly hearing the sound of tears falling, Chang Jin never raised his head, just quietly exited Zhu Zixuan.

The confrontation between the two armies is a confrontation between life and death.Prince Haotong stood under the banner of Heihei and waved towards the capital of Le Lang Kingdom with one hand; Princess Le Lang just watched thousands of soldiers and horses swarming towards the capital, she would not break the self-sounding drum, even if it was good Tong would die on the battlefield.

Even if she had already warned Haotong, even if she had seen Haotong with tears in her eyes, she would not raise her hand, because she has the duty of a princess to Le Langguo and even the justice of heaven, just like Knowing that it is a hopeless battle, Haotong has to charge forward with the expectation of Goguryeo.

Carrying all the blood and tears on the battlefield, the sound of drums and drums resounded through the sky──

Jang Geum wants to tell Jing Feng that this is the final ending of Princess Le Lang and Prince Hao Tong.Even if the flag is lying horizontally and the fighting is over, the two people will still stand in their respective places and look at each other from a distance, even if there are only tears in their eyes.

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

When Si Lian returned to the place, she saw the most noble palace concentrating on writing words stroke by stroke, her brows and eyes were like depressed strokes, stained with depression.

"Niang Niang..." Si Lian was a little terrified by this situation.The empress's expression at this moment is like standing on a high place in a dangerous building, still staring down with a calm expression.

"You give this letter to Gong Zhongba as usual." After paying the final payment, Jin Ying folded the letter paper after the ink was dry, sealed it and handed it to Si Lian. "Help me get those letters out of the cabinet."

Si Lian put away the letter and carefully took out a bunch of letters from the cabinet.Put it together with other things Jinying into the gold tracing box, put it in your arms and out of Zhu Zixuan.

Instructing the maids to bring the dining table into the middle palace, Jinying also entered the palace, but when the maids retreated one after another and the queen was about to eat, she knelt down in front of the table uncharacteristically.The most secret Shanggong on the side wanted to stop, but was stopped by the queen's eyes, and slowly retreated outside the hall to guard the door.

"Is there something wrong with the Supreme Palace?"

"The servant girl once said that she is willing to serve the empress."

"What can the most noble palace bring to this palace now?"

Jinying stopped talking and just took out the box from her arms.After the queen saw that the square box was opened, Jinying took out the topmost scroll and spread it on the small table. Fang recognized it as a map of the Eight Routes of Korea and North Korea.

"This is the situation of Cui's business shops all over the country." Jinying pointed to the red dots in the picture and said, "A while ago, my uncle was framed and imprisoned, and the Cui's business group was panicked. To find a way out, I got this mark map. There is also a booklet in the box, which is my notes to record the likes and dislikes of the owners of various merchants, and what talents are still available in the merchant group."

The queen's expression gradually became cautious. "The most noble palace should know that this palace is incompatible with the right-handed group behind the Cui family. This is an act of betrayal of the Cui family. Hand over these things, what kind of conditions does the most noble palace want to exchange?"

Jinying took out the letter in the box and put it in front of the queen. "These letters are the family letters that Cui Shi, the son of Cui Shi, went to the Ming Dynasty to communicate with me. Even my uncle didn't know the existence of these letters. Everything that the country has seen and seen. This son of the Cui family is quick and careful in watching the fire, and he will definitely become a business talent that can be relied on after returning to the country."

"Doing this is undoubtedly asking me to annex the entire Cui business group? This seems to be different from what I thought." The queen's faint smile was a little more suspicious. "In the past, this palace valued you because I thought that the most noble palace should hate the family you came from. Your behavior today seems to be a betrayal, but in fact, it paved a road for Cui to lead to me. This is also good for me, but Ben Gong is puzzled, how can the family that imprisoned you deserve such protection from the people in the prison?"

"Cui Shi, he is the child who has been taken care of all the way since he was a housekeeper in the imperial kitchen." Jinying's voice was rare but firm and soft: "He used to lie on the window lattice of Cui's business store, stretching in the dusty room. Curious eyes; they will also give the wolf hairs that are regarded as treasures, gritted their teeth and reluctantly give them to the palace ladies. The children believe in all good things without any distracting thoughts, because they have the roof of Cui's business group, they will not lose their parents. The orphans of the Cui family were fleeing in a hurry. That is the family I want to protect, no matter how dark the Cui family business group is, those families that rely on the business group for their livelihood just purely want to move towards the light.”

The queen stared at Jinying who said these words from beginning to end.After a long time, although he didn't quite agree with him, he finally smiled. "I still don't understand what people like the most noble palace can gain by sacrificing themselves and becoming a traitor in the family? The most noble palace... no, it's Cui Jinying. I think Cui Jinying is very contradictory and can't be completely good or good. Make evil, what does this woman named Cui Jinying want?"

The author has something to say: This chapter is cut into sections in a strange way... I just want to keep the word count in a similar range.
