Chapter 76
Yinniang bit her lip to draw out the bloody smell, and after a long time she said in a hoarse voice: "I think if she was still alive, she wouldn't blame her brother."
After that, she hurried away, describing herself as embarrassed, almost fleeing.
Yan Yunhe had just caught up a few steps when he was grabbed by Yu Qin.
Yu Qin's fingertips were cold, he looked carefully and even trembled slightly: "No need to chase."
Yan Yunhe turned around, and when he realized that the situation was wrong, he regretted it.
It was because he was too self-assertive and failed to consider the mood of the two people, so that the recognition was not successful, but it was self-defeating.
What Yu Qin said just now made him feel as if his chest was suffocating after hearing it. He could almost guess what happened that year. In order to save Yu Qin who was still in prison, Yinniang committed herself to the Dali Temple Master who was involved in the case at the time.
However, the Yu family was involved in rebellion, so how could a mere Dali Temple intervene. It's just taking advantage of the situation and maliciously deceiving.
Yu Qin came out of prison, his grandfather committed suicide in prison, and his younger sister Bai Yin was hurt by him, and her life and death are unknown after that. From the whole family, he was the only one left in the end.
His words of "no need to forgive" were not only addressed to Bai Yin, but also to himself.
Even in these years, Yu Qin has never forgiven himself, so he does not ask Yinniang for forgiveness.
Yan Yunhe held Yu Qin's hand and used his palm to warm the cold fingertips: "You are not to blame for this, you have avenged her."
Yu Qin's eyes fell in the direction where Yinniang left. , there are only scattered footprints left on the ground, which can give a glimpse into the state of mind of the people who left.
Seeing Yu Qin lost in thought, Yan Yunhe gritted his teeth and dragged Yu Qin into the room.
Putting a heater into someone's hand, Yan Yunhe rambled on and told Yu Qin all the little and big things he had learned about Yinniang over the years.
Yu Qin was fascinated by what he heard and learned that Yin Niang had a "golden house", so he smiled: "She has been like this since she was a child. Her mother didn't want her to take care of the accounts, so she secretly learned the abacus."
"A Yin . She had no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics. When she was in Donglin Academy, she often skipped school. My grandfather was very angry and did not dare to use family methods on her, so he punished her by copying books. So she begged to come to me so that I could help her. He learned handwriting well and was able to fool his grandfather."
Listening to Yu Qin's narration, Yan Yunhe seemed to have seen those carefree youth days through these words.
How wonderful it would be if time only stopped at that moment and nothing happened later.
Yan Yunhe felt Yu Qin's hand gradually return to warmth, as if he had also come out of his previous emotions.
He breathed calmly: "I was the one who was abrupt today, I shouldn't have done this."
But Yu Qin shook his head: "No, I am very happy...to know that she is still alive. There is nothing more important than this." ."
These words did not seem to be false. Yu Qin's eyes were still slightly red, but he looked more cheerfully than ever.
"That's good." Yan Yunhe's heart that had been hanging around finally settled down.
In order to make Yu Qin more cheerful, he said: "It seems that all my money has not been wasted these years. I donated half of her private money. If I had known that she was my sister-in-law, I would have given her more." "
Yu Qin couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Why are you talking nonsense? She also knows that you like me." Yan Yunhe thought of what Ye Yinniang said and couldn't help but comfort him: "She really cares about her. I think you have some difficulties, so I dare not contact you. "
The Imperial City Division is not like the Jinyiwei. Although they are all officials, the Imperial City Division only selects talents based on ability and does not take into account the past.
To join the Imperial City Division as a marriage officer, in addition to people like Fang Zhizhou who come from aristocratic families and hold official positions, there are also a large number of people who are from three religions and nine streams.
In order to restrain such people, the treaties are also quite harsh.
Yinniang should have signed the most severe life and death contract of the Imperial City Division. From then on, she was just the marriage officer of the Imperial City Division and no longer had any contact with the past.
Yu Qin gradually came back to his senses and his face changed slightly: "Where does she hold a position?!"
Why didn't Yan Yun tell the whole story about Yin Niang as easily as before, but kept his mouth shut.
Yu Qin stood up suddenly, and Yan Yunhe immediately hugged him around the waist: "Where are you going?"
"Go and check." Yu Qin simply dropped these two words in a low voice, and was about to break up with Yan Yunhe. hand.
"Wait a minute, calm down." Yan Yunhe panicked.
Yu Qin stared at him: "If it were just an ordinary female official, wouldn't you dare to say it?"
Yan Yunhe gritted his teeth: "I can only talk about her official position, but you can't find out even if you check it."
Yu Qin's forehead was exposed. Qingjin: "It's the Imperial City Division."
Yan Yunhe closed his eyes, and he knew that as long as he gave Yu Qin a few clues, the man could guess it immediately.
He was so angry when he knew that Yu Qin was the secret agent of Emperor Cheng Jing.
How would Yu Qin feel if he knew that his only relative had entered the Imperial City Division.
He was afraid that Yu Qin would rush into the palace that night and kill the king in a treasonous manner.
"You also know that she is extremely capable. Even in the Imperial City Division, no one dares to underestimate her. And she does not need to go on dangerous missions. She is much safer than you think." Yan Yunhe spoke very fast said.
Yu Qin's expression turned even worse: "She's not just a marriage officer?"
Yinniang holds an important position. For an intelligence agency like this, the more you know, the harder it will be to escape, unless you die.
The winter hunt is coming, and nothing can go wrong at this time.
"Hanchu, everyone has their own choice." Yan Yunhe's face condensed slightly: "Just like I can't stop you, you can't stop her."
Yu Qin seemed to have all his strength drained out in an instant, he couldn't help but After struggling again, I seemed to understand something.
Yan Yunhe: "She is your sister. You should know her temper better than me, and why she did this."
...
Eunuch Yan led the way into the palace unhurriedly, Yin Niang followed behind, her face was too pale, but The red eyes looked quite scary.
Yinniang heard that Eunuch Yan said that Emperor Cheng Jing had rested and wanted to leave, but not long after, a servant came out and called her in.
Emperor Cheng Jing was wearing a bright yellow tunic with a simple coat on his body, his hair was not tied up, and his eyebrows were tired.
Seeing Yinniang, she stretched out her hand and waved to her: "No need to salute."
Eunuch Yan stepped back in time. Yinniang stepped forward for a few steps, then lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, brother, he seems to have discovered my identity."
Emperor Cheng Jing She took a sip of strong tea to wake herself up: "Didn't you go to Yong'an Marquis Mansion today?"
Yinniang pursed her lips: "Master Yan only asked me to meet Mrs. Hou, but after the banquet, my brother was waiting for me in the backyard."
Emperor Cheng Jing: "I'm just asking you, do you regret it?"
I regret living with another identity, regretting not being recognized by my relatives all these years.
Although she didn't have to salute, Yinniang still knelt down again: "Yinniang doesn't regret it."
"Even if you face Yu Qin, you won't regret it?" Emperor Cheng Jing whispered.
Yinniang's hand on the ground was shaking slightly, and there were several bleeding fingerprints on the back of her hand: "Brother took the wrong path and worked hard for the enemy. If it comes to a critical moment, I..."
After saying that, Yinniang saw a trace of wetness on the carpet in front of her. It was her tears. Although she couldn't cry, she still said word for word: "I will not show mercy."
In these years, she has avoided the capital and is far away in Yunzhou. In charge of the intelligence of the Imperial City Department. She didn't believe it at first about Yu Qin and the Queen Mother, but as more and more news came from the capital, she gradually became shaken.
Yu Qin is her only relative, the one she sacrifices everything to save.
But Yu Changen is also her grandfather, the elder she is closest to besides her mother.
She can live to this day only because her great revenge has not been avenged.
"It's just!" Yinniang raised her tear-stained face: "It's just that brother... although he is confused, his crime will not lead to death. I just ask Your Majesty to spare his life for what Yinniang has done for the Imperial City Division in these years. "
The candlelight was swaying, and inside the palace, no one except Yinniang knew what kind of promise Emperor Cheng Jing had given.
...
Song Wen looked at the door carefully and saw Yan Yunhe sticking his head out.
"My lord, Miss Yin left. I heard from the concierge that there were tears on her face when she left. Madam has already rested, but I think she will come to you tomorrow to settle the score."
Yan Yunhe waved his hand: "I understand, let me Is the food you asked the chef to cook ready?"
Song Wen picked up the food box in his hand and said, "It's done. I put ginseng slices in the soup specifically for Master Yu."
Yan Yunhe nodded with satisfaction . , he took the food box from Song Wen's hand. It was a bowl of plain noodles, but even if the Hou Mansion had plain noodles, the soup was made from various delicacies.
Pushing the face in front of Yu Qin, Yan Yunhe said: "Let's eat first."
Yu Qin did not move, Yan Yunhe frowned and said: "Do you want me to feed you?"
After that, he actually picked up the chopsticks and picked up the noodles. It was put into Yu Qin's mouth, but Yu Qin turned his face and avoided it.
Yan Yunhe was a little distressed. He recalled that when his father coaxed his mother, he always stayed humble and worked hard without complaining.
But tonight Yu Qin was not angry with him, but he was the one suffering from this torture.
Although as long as you stay with Yu Qin, it is good even if you do nothing.
"Yu Hanchu, if you do this again, I will..." Yan Yunhe deliberately hesitated to say the last part of the sentence. As expected, he saw Yu Qin glance at him, as if he was checking whether he was really angry.
Yan Yunhe smiled and said, "I'll kiss you."
Such an immoral gesture made Yu Qin turn his face again and stop looking at him.
Yan Yunhe stood up, walked around in front of him, bent down and said, "Madam, why don't you look at me?"
Yu Qin seemed to be unable to bear it: "Yan Yun He!"
"Hey, Madam, what are your orders." Yan Yun He responded quickly. .
Yu Qin held it in for a long time before he said: "I am not a woman."
"I know you are not. Who else can understand better than me, are you a gentleman?"
Yan Yunhe said seriously: "I just want to I want to marry you and be buried in the same mausoleum with you after my death. I know you can't be my wife, nor can you be Yan Yunhe's wife."
"But I still want you to know that there is such a person in this world. I miss you, miss you, and want to spend the rest of my life with you."
He never concealed his love, he was only afraid that he didn't express it enough to make Yu Qin feel soft.
So soft-hearted that...she was willing to turn back from the originally planned path and come to him.
