two cold

Holding the door of the dining room with her hand, Jinying clenched her fingers and pulled the door open with all her strength, only to be greeted by darkness.

Walking into it, Jinying was thinking about where to hide the talisman, when Leng Kuang was startled by the noise in the night, and fixed his eyes to see that the hook had fallen on the ground.

"Jang Geum? What are you doing here!"

Obviously startled too, Jang Geum stretched his hand behind his back. "Jinying, I saw that you were sick, so I wanted to help you on duty..."

"No! You go out!" Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, Jinying also felt awkward.

Chang Geum glanced at Jin Ying, and walked towards the door consciously, but felt his wrist was suddenly pulled, but it was Jin Ying who was holding his hand and refused to let go.

"You have nothing to say to me?" He sighed softly, as if he was no longer the tough Jinying from before.

"I'm sorry." Jang Jin flicked his wrist, blushing and walked out of the imperial kitchen quickly.

If Jang Geum hadn't bowed his head and hurried past, he might have found the teardrops hidden in Jinying's eyes.

The talisman was hidden at night, but the next day, a corner protruded for unknown reasons and was discovered by the Supreme Palace, which finally caused a commotion in the imperial kitchen.

At first, because of Chang Jin's act of helping on duty in the dining room overnight, the suspicion of hiding amulets naturally pointed to her, but Lian Sheng boldly revealed a secret to the Supreme Palace.

"Jang Jin is looking for something, and Jin Ying is hiding something." In the warehouse, Lian Sheng cried and told what he saw that night.

"Smelly girl!" Cui Shanggong reprimanded loudly. "Your Majesty, this girl shares the same room with Jang Geum, it seems that she just wanted to help her because she was stupid for a while!"

"no……"

"She must be lying. Jinying was on the night shift that day. Jinying should be in the dining room. She saw Jinying doing things in it, but she lied that Jinying was hiding something in it." No chance to defend. , Cui Shanggong refuted Lian Sheng's words one by one, and quarreled with Lian Sheng.

The most noble palace glanced at Jinying thoughtfully, and Jinying looked at the tip of her drooping finger without any reaction.

"I'll ask you again, what are you looking for!" Taking a step forward, the Supreme Palace raised its voice again. "Han Shanggong, lock Jang Geum and Jin Ying into the warehouse, no one can let them out without my permission!"

"But Jinying obviously didn't..." Cui Shanggong wanted to say something, but was thwarted by the warning in the eyes of the most noble palace.

"You two, one of you will tell me the truth!" Supreme Palace signaled Han Shanggong to lock the warehouse door, and said coldly. "The same goes for Han Shanggong and Cui Shanggong. No one can see them without my permission!"

Jinying sat upright on the warehouse floor, clutching her sleeves with both hands without showing any expression.From the beginning to the end, I didn't look at Jang Geum.

"Jinying..." Jang Geum called her weakly. "Jinying, did you do it?"

"No, it's you." Jinying said flatly without any emotion. "You did it."

Time didn't seem to pass, the two people who used to find it rare to get along even for a moment, now they really fell into such a situation, but there was only embarrassing silence left.

With several days of stagnation in her heart, coupled with the sweltering heat in the warehouse, Jinying only felt dizzy for a while, and her body lay limply on the grain bag.

"When I was young, I loved listening to the sound of my dad reading." Looking at the empty warehouse, Jin Ying half-closed her eyes. "Never do misfortune out of desire for profit, don't be sad because of sadness, and don't do ugliness before humiliation... Father told me a lot of principles of life, and I always remember it."

"I promised my mother that I would become the most noble palace in the imperial kitchen, but I don't want to get it by any despicable means... Chang Geum, why don't you help me, as long as you tell me... tell me..."

"Jinying, are you sick?"

In a daze, Jinying only felt a hand approaching her forehead, and hearing Jang Geum's anxious tone, she felt at ease for a while.

It seemed that Jang Geum lifted her body up, and her whole body was so hot that she groaned softly.At this moment, a stream of liquid poured into her mouth, she swallowed her throat reflexively, and swallowed it all.

The cool sweet has a slightly pungent taste, and what she drank was the juice of kudzu root.But the feeling on her lips, another indifferent fragrance, made her feel strange and familiar.

Where the hell did you try it?Jinying couldn't remember, and finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

Jinying woke up and saw Jang Geum sleeping on the grain bag next door.The knots of one of the bags had been undone, exposing the kudzu root contained inside.

Jinying thought of that psychedelic dream.Jang Geum, is that really you?

Perhaps feeling the warm gaze, Jang Geum moved his body and slowly opened his eyelashes.But when he saw Jinying in front of him, he bit his lip and turned his head slightly.

Jinying wanted to ask something, but no sound could be squeezed out of his dry throat.

Just then, the door of the warehouse opened!

"Jinying, you are clearly wronged! From today onwards, you don't have to stay here with Jang Geum!" Cui Shanggong's sonorous and forceful tone came in, like a knife cutting through the silence. The courage faltered again.

Cui Shanggong helped Jinying up, and closed the warehouse door again before going out.

"Ma'am..."

"You are very weak now, don't talk." Only from the slightly trembling hands can you feel Cui Shanggong's panic and reluctance.

The capital crime that might have involved treason, but under the whitewashing of the Cui family, this major event was quietly settled, and even the most noble palace who insisted on sending them to the Forbidden City of Justice also gave in.This is Jinying's first real experience of the strength of the family, which is deeper and darker than she thought.

But in such a perilous environment, during the first few nights when she came out of the warehouse, Jinying lived in Cui Shanggong's premises, and she really felt her aunt's love for her.She saw her aunt getting up in the middle of the night and helping her wring the towel, the care and distress in her eyes that she rarely saw made her suddenly want to miss again, if the aunt could always take care of her like this.

"This is the bird's nest specially entrusted by your uncle." The aunt scooped up a small spoon and brought it close to her lips. "Your uncle still cares about you very much. When you get better, go back and thank your uncle."

"Anyway," Cui Shanggong paused for a while before saying, "You are the only heir of our Cui family."

Jinying's eyes dimmed, and she didn't say anything more.

The author has something to say: I always thought that chapters [-], [-], and [-] of Volume [-] were quite normal, but what happened to the status of the review?

Well, maybe this is perfectly normal for Jinjiang who said that a mother wants to be a crab,

So I decided to revise the chapter again to make the review longer...

If the golden rooster incident is the arc that changed Jang Geum's fate,

The spell incident is the most important watershed that determines Jinying's fate.
