Love, even if such a thing really happens, there is no need to watch Jang Geum take the blame for her under Cui Shanggong's coercion, but there is nothing he can do.

With the right to control the life and death of others, she can protect Jang Geum. Even if such a thing happens again, she can protect Jang Geum and prevent her from falling into such a predicament again.

Thinking about it carefully, Zheng Shanggong was also a puppet supported by their Cui family, hoping to help the Cui family successfully pass the transition period before Cui Shanggong took over from the most noble palace, but the people in power at that time saw it wrong. The puppets who came out have been fighting against their Cui family.

Thinking of this, Jin Ying felt very depressed.

"Mistress, have you noticed? Madam Zheng Shanggong has been suffering from knee pain recently." Jinying knelt in front of Cui Shanggong, and she could tell that both Cui Shanggong and Titiao Shanggong behind them had already I have deep dissatisfaction with Zheng Shanggong, instead of waiting for them to find a chance to make a move and let Zheng Shanggong die unexpectedly, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity of Zheng Shanggong's illness to let Zheng Shanggong retire and leave the palace to spend his old age in peace.

Although Zheng Shanggong has been working hard to find the real culprit this time, the Cui family was very uneasy, but Jinying was very grateful to her for her delay and refusal to directly convict Jang Geum and then execute Jang Geum. Jinying also didn't want this kind old Shang Gong who had watched her grow up to end up in a tragic end.

"Oh? Really." Cui Shanggong was taken aback when he heard the news, and then laughed, "That's really unfortunate news."

Although these Shanggongs can often see Zheng Shanggong, if Zheng Shanggong conceals his physical condition on purpose, it is difficult for them to see it. Jinying and Jang Geum are friends, and Chang Jin and Lian Sheng are good friends. Zheng Shanggong's physical condition Although there are people who can hide it, they can't hide it from Liansheng who lived with her since she was a child. Liansheng has never been a person who can hide words. It is not difficult for Jinying to know Zheng Shanggong's physical condition.

"I will report this matter to the Empress Titiao Shanggong." Cui Shanggong is very satisfied with Jinying's performance this time, "The birthday of the Titiao Shanggong Empress is coming soon, and the gift to be given to the Titiao Shanggong Empress has also been sent Come here, come and have a look with me."

"Yes, ma'am."

***

Titiao Shanggong's birthday is coming soon, and all Shanggongs will present their own gifts to Titiao Shanggong, and then wish Titiao Shanggong a happy birthday.

Jinying's status is not enough to be able to participate in such a banquet, so when I heard the saying that "the most noble palace is dissatisfied with Titiao Shanggong, so it deliberately only made unpalatable dishes for Titiao Shanggong at this time" , Jinying was very surprised.

But obviously Jang Geum beside Jinying was more surprised than her.

"Why, how come? This is impossible." Changjin murmured, because the pain in the knees of the most noble palace has been bothering her, so this time the dishes to be presented to Titiao Shanggong are seasoned by Changjin, Jang Geum thinks that his seasoning level is not to the point of "unpalatable".

"Hey, why not, the empress of Ti Tiao Shang Gong is very angry." Ling Lu imitated the angry appearance of Ti Tiao Shang Gong that she had seen from other concubines and sisters.

"I..." Jang Jin shook his head lightly, suddenly thought of something, and ran out towards the door.

"Jang Geum?" Jinying wanted to catch up and take a look. Jang Geum's current state was very abnormal, but was stopped by Ling Lu beside him.

"Jinying, what are you chasing her for? I guess she must not be able to bear this blow. The empress Shanggong is so angry that she will definitely punish Empress Zheng Shanggong. Chang Jin, maybe she is afraid of being implicated by Empress Zheng Shanggong, so she will be promoted together. Empress Shanggong will punish you."

Being stopped by Ling Lu, Jang Geum had already run away, Jinying glanced at Ling Lu's gloating face, and sighed helplessly.

Jang Geum ran out and found a hidden burning kitchen. She had a guess. Some time ago, when she was helping Jiang Dejiu get rid of the crime, she took a lot of nutmeg and ginseng. Although the physical paralysis has been cured now, it seems that her tongue is much slower than before.

In the burning kitchen, I found all edible seasonings to experiment with. No matter how much I tasted, Jang Geum could only feel a faint taste, and his mood collapsed. The tongue was stabbed hard, but even such pain, her tongue could feel it very weakly.

"No, it's not like this, it can't be like this..." Jang Geum went crazy and threw the things at hand out.

She is a maid of honor in the imperial kitchen. If she loses her sense of taste, then she has lost the value of staying in the imperial kitchen. If someone finds out, she will be kicked out of the palace and die alone in the monastery. Then, don’t say It's staying with Jinying for the rest of her life, even if she wants to see Jinying, it has become a luxury.

Not to mention, she still carries her mother's last wish.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the kettle still burning on the fire, Jang Geum stopped what he was doing, and walked slowly to the side of the kettle.

With trembling hands, Jang Jin picked up a small bowl with one hand, lifted the kettle with the other hand, and poured the water in the kettle into the bowl.

Putting down the kettle, Jang Jin held the bowl of water in both hands. Her hands could clearly feel the temperature of the water through the bowl, but her tongue...

Closing his eyes and being cruel, Jang Geum brought a bowl of boiling water to his mouth and drank it.

As soon as the water touched the immature inner wall of the mouth, it exerted its destructive power. Jang Geum was so hot that he spit out the water directly, but even so, the temperature that his tongue could feel was very limited.

This fact broke Jang Geum a little.

"Mother...Jinying..." Holding on to one side of the kitchen stove, Jang Geum slid to the floor slowly as if losing strength, crying softly.

"Mistress Shanggong took advantage of Zheng Shanggong's mistake at the birthday banquet to warn her to step down and make way for the virtuous. If Zheng Shanggong is sensible, I can almost ascend to the position of the most noble palace." Cui Shanggong sat in his seat. In the room, looking at Jinying in front of her, she couldn't help feeling a little excited when she thought that she would finally ascend to the position of the most noble palace in the near future.

She had waited ten years longer for this day, and it was too long.

"Madam, Zheng Shanggong's temper will not be compromised so easily, I hope you can pay more attention and don't be careless." Jinying was not as happy as expected.

"It's already reached this point, what else can she do?" Cui Shanggong didn't care about Jinying's words. If they hadn't taken a fancy to Zheng Shanggong's aloofness at the beginning, they would not have pushed her out as a Puppet, who knows that all this is just Zheng Shanggong's disguise. Cui Shanggong and Titiao Shanggong, who were tricked by Zheng Shanggong, have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Hearing what Cui Shanggong said, Jinying stopped talking. At this time, nothing she said could get Cui Shanggong's attention. It was better to keep silent and wait for Zheng Shanggong to make a move before responding.

"Okay, don't worry, everything is under the control of Titiao Shanggong and I." Cui Shanggong casually comforted Jinying, "It's getting late, I should also help Zheng Shanggong prepare It's dinner time, maybe this is the last time she will present an imperial meal to the king."

Walking out of the premises with Cui Shanggong, looking at Cui Shanggong's complacent back, Jinying frowned slightly, she was still a little worried.

Everything is the same as usual. After preparing the dinner to be presented, Zheng Shanggong rarely enters the hall together. During this period of time, she stretched out her hands and suffered from pain in her knees, so she rarely entered the hall. Jinying guessed that Zheng Shanggong finally Let's make a move.

Looking worriedly at the back of Cui Shanggong leaving behind Zheng Shanggong, Jinying clenched his fists.

"It's strange, where did Jang Geum go?" Lian Sheng didn't notice Jinying's low mood, and scratched his head, obviously Jang Geum was still by her side just now, why did Kung Fu disappear after a while?

"Huh?" Hearing Jang Jin's name, Jinying took a look at Liansheng, and after looking around in the imperial dining kitchen, she did not see Jang Jin's figure, "Wasn't Jang Jin still there just now?"

"I don't know, but Jang Geum is so weird today. He obviously seasoned himself very well, but he asked me to try the seasoning." Although Lian Sheng is a bit innocent, he is not a fool, and he can always detect some very subtle things. , "It's really strange that she didn't know where she went after work just finished."

Jinying pursed her lips and didn't pay much attention.

"Maybe she has something to do." Jang Geum is hiding a secret from her. Jinying is very clear about this, such as what she found in the dining room, why she knew there was something hidden in the dining room, and A lot, Jang Geum doesn't say, Jinying only asked Jang Geum once in the warehouse, Jang Geum didn't want to tell her, and Jinying didn't ask again.

But Jinying is more concerned about Cui Sanggong and Zheng Sanggong than Jang Geum who has been hiding it from her.

I don't know what trick Zheng Shanggong came up with...

Hand

"What did you say? Madam Zheng Shanggong proposed to the king that there will be an imperial meal competition to decide who will take over the position of the next most noble palace, you or Madam Han Shanggong?" Jinying's voice raised slightly, she did not expect Zheng Shanggong to dare to do this Do.

"Hmph, it's okay, it's just Zheng Shanggong's dying struggle, so don't worry about it." Cui Shanggong snorted coldly, not caring about Zheng Shanggong's actions.

She believes in her own strength, even if it is such a big detour
