carved heart

Chapter 92
As early as when a nuclear carver was selected from Shangguan's house and sent to Yongping, she began to worry that someone would imitate her way and become the next female nuclear carver to fly to the top of the branch, so she specially crossed off her quota. She has come to Yongping by herself, and she is still so public, even she has heard of the name of the owner of Qinghuilou even in the deep palace.

So she was afraid.

She knew it the moment Yin entered the palace.

That's why she came so fast when the Yin family was passed on.

It's just that the junior sister in front of her doesn't seem to have the restless mind she thought.

Rong Zhaoyi suppressed the coldness on her face, changed her face in an instant, and said, "You and I are from the same school. If I can help my junior sister, I won't just stand by and watch."

Ah Yin said: "Senior sister is really considerate. There are so many costumes and jewelry here, and junior sister can't pick and choose. I also ask senior sister to help me, so that junior sister can properly and correctly face the Holy Spirit."

Ah Yin bit down on the word "correct".

Rong Zhaoyi heard it, and said lightly, "It's a little effort."

When Ah Yin changed her clothes, Rong Zhaoyi was already gone.After she walked out of Chaohua Palace, there were already waiters outside, seeing her attire, she couldn't help being a little surprised.Ah Yin smiled slightly: "Please trouble father-in-law to lead the way."

At the gate of the imperial study, Ah Yin saw Si Teng again.

Before Si Teng could speak this time, a figure had already stepped out of the imperial study room, it was Rong Zhaoyi who had helped A Yin dress up in Chaohua Palace earlier.Rong Zhaoyi nodded to her invisibly, and left slowly with the support of the maid.

Ah Yin finally met the Ninth Five-Year Lord—Emperor Yongsheng.

"Get up."

Ah Yin responded, lowering his eyes slightly.

She was wearing a narrow-sleeved blue-gray skirt, and her blouse was a crescent-white plain half-arm, which was exactly the same as that of the female nuclei carver in the palace. If it wasn't for Emperor Yongsheng's sharp eyes, it would be difficult to find that such simple and plain clothes came from among the 48 sets of Chinese clothes .

Emperor Yongsheng said in a calm voice: "You are very capable. You can persuade my concubine to speak for you."

A Yin raised his eyes, and asked neither humble nor overbearing: "Dare to ask the Holy Majesty, has Ah Yin passed the test of the Holy Majesty?"

The emperor's face changed slightly, and there was a flash of surprise between his brows, as if he didn't expect Ah Yin to say such words.He said: "Ming Mu praised you for your intelligence, it is true, how did you find out that this is a test?"

Ah Yin cleared his throat and said, "The Holy One is testing Ah Yin's patience and ambition?"

Emperor Yongsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

A Yin continued: "When I came to the imperial study room, the company asked me to wait, and for half an hour, the company kept watching me, presumably because of the orders from the Holy One. Later, the company took me to the imperial court. Hua Palace, a room of luxurious clothes, if I guess correctly, as long as I choose wrongly, what will be waiting for me when I leave Chaohua Palace is a glass of poisoned wine? Although Ah Yin has never entered the palace, he has read books, 48 The suits are all the specifications of concubines in the palace."

As long as she puts on any of these outfits, she will be dragged away for breaking the palace rules as soon as she goes out.

The emperor is uneasy and kind.

Emperor Yongsheng couldn't see any expression on his face, and said: "You guessed right, and you have indeed passed the test. Guess what I'm thinking now?"

Ah Yin leaned forward and said, "A Yin dare not speculate on the Holy Will."

Emperor Yongsheng walked around the desk and walked slowly in front of Ah Yin. He could not deny the corner of his lips and said, "Ming Mu thought he was hiding well. I watched him grow up when I was a child. What did he think?" , I can see through it at a glance. He has secretly disobeyed me for you again and again," the palm of his hand squeezed Ah Yin's chin so hard that it seemed to crush her face, he stared at her face, coldly Said: "It is a face like this that confuses Ming Mu and separates the friendship between Ming Mu and Zhen for many years. It's just like this."

Ah Yin saw a trace of disgust on Emperor Yongsheng's face that didn't show his landscape.

This ninety-five-year-old is really loathing her.

She moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she knew that what she said was useless, so she simply lowered her eyes.A Yin gave up resisting, which made Emperor Yongsheng feel very bored, he let go of his hand after a while, and he said casually: "You and I, Ming Mu must choose one, guess who he chooses?"

When Ah Yin left the palace, it was completely dark.

The last words of the emperor kept lingering in her mind. In fact, this was not a question of choosing one or the other. It could have coexisted peacefully, but because of the emperor, it became a difficult question.

Ask her the answer?

She didn't know, and she didn't want to answer. This shouldn't be a question for her to answer.

After returning to the mansion, she did not return to her courtyard.She knew that Shen Changtang was well-informed, the news of her entering the palace must have reached his ears later, and he must be waiting for him in her room at this moment.

She doesn't want to see him!
Ah Yin rested directly in Ah Xuan's courtyard, and within half an hour, a deep voice came from outside the house.

"Girl, Master Hou is here."

Jiang Xuan said: "Sister, Master Hou is here."

Ah Yin said: "Go out and tell Yan Shen that I have already rested." Jiang Xuan said with a worried face: "What's wrong with my sister and Master Hou?"

Ah Yin squeezed out a smile and said: "It's just a small problem, and I'm really tired." She knew Ah Xuan's temperament well, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "There is still something to do in Qinghui Tower tomorrow morning, he is here tonight I'm afraid it will be a little frustrating."

Jiang Xuan understood instantly, her face was flushed red, and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Hearing the footsteps outside leaving, Ah Yin in the room silently let out a sigh of relief.

Ah Yin was so preoccupied that it was difficult to rest at night, but with Ah Xuan by his side, it was difficult to toss and turn, so he could only look at the curtain with his eyes open, listen to Ah Xuan's long and distant breathing, and think about the emperor's words in his mind.

In the middle of the night, Ah Yin still hadn't fallen asleep, so she simply got up lightly and walked out quietly.

The guards outside the house were about to salute, but Ah Yin shook his head gently and refused.

She walked into her room with her skirt in her hand.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a figure leaning against the door. The cool night breeze brushed his temple hair, revealing a pair of sharp eyebrows.She was slightly taken aback, he put down the scroll, and said without changing his expression: "If it's half an hour later, I'll have to come back tomorrow night and wait for the rabbit."

Ah Yin said, "I'm not a rabbit."

Shen Changtang laughed: "If you're really a rabbit, it's easier to deal with. I personally took the knife and peeled off your skin to see what's going on in your heart."

Hearing what he said, Ah Yin was a little annoyed, and walked into the house without saying a word. When he walked around, his wrists were bound, and he spun around, and he had already fallen into a familiar embrace. His voice It rang in her ears, with a hoarseness that hadn't slept all night.

"I've been waiting for you all night, and I'm going to go to court later, you give me an accurate word whether it's life or death."

This trick is obviously effective.

Ah Yin felt sorry for Shen Changtang, and said, "What exact words do you want?"

Shen Changtang said: "The sage has summoned you, what did he tell you? If it makes you angry, you can be angry with me. The sage is not as good as me, and his temper is not so good." Hearing this, Ah Yin widened his eyes and said: " Are you in a good temper?"

When I was in Gongcheng, I was almost killed by his bad temper.

Shen Changtang said solemnly: "People who become emperors are all high-spirited, so naturally they can't have a good temper, but I'm different, I have a bad temper, and I'm willing to change for you."

Ah Yin really couldn't do anything about him, so she ran out a love sentence in a good manner, which made her heart soften into a mess.But she knew that this time it was not something that could be coaxed casually, and the emperor's attitude was nakedly displayed today.

She said: "The emperor Mingmu said asked me a question today, but I can't answer it. If you want to know, why don't you ask?" She said very bluntly: "The matter between me and you, he has already Knowing and disagreeing, I always thought it was a matter of identity, but now it seems that it is not."

Shen Changtang couldn't help being startled.

Ah Yin broke free, and found that he was able to break free from his embrace, entered the house in three steps, and closed the door behind him.

Her back, which had been straight all the time, slowly slumped, and she limply pressed against the door.

Shen Changtang behind the door was silent for a long time, and finally left without a sound.

As soon as Shen Changtang left, Ah Yin couldn't sleep even better.When he got up early the next morning, his eyelids were swollen, so Ah Yin called someone to fetch ice cubes from the ice cellar, and applied them perfunctorily a few times. After the swelling was not so swollen, he asked his servants to bring breakfast.

While she was having breakfast, Fan Haohe routinely came over to report to her the situation of Qinghui Building yesterday, as well as various matters.

After Fan Haohe's report today, his face was a little heavy, he said: "Miss, there is one thing I don't know whether to say, it has something to do with gambling on trees." Hearing this, Ah Yin said: "It's not that our nuclear carving skills Those who have stayed away from the gambling tree? Who knowingly committed the crime?"

Fan Haohe shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with our Qinghui Building, it has something to do with your brother."

Ah Yin was stunned, and she said: "My brother? Brother Hao is only so old, how can he bet on trees?" After a pause, Ah Yin remembered that he still has a younger brother Yin Minglang who is doing business abroad all the year round, and only during New Years and holidays I don't know what I have done in the past few years, and there is often no news, so that after Ah Yin went to Suizhou, he almost forgot that he had such a younger brother.

She asked, "Is it my elder brother? What's going on? Tell me carefully."

Fan Haohe said: "The imperial court has not banned tree gambling publicly, nor has it allowed it, so everyone is doing it quietly in private. Recently, someone gambled on trees in Baiyue, pretending to be a businessman and transporting them to Yongping. The new ban issued by the imperial court this morning became the first one to make an example of others, and your younger brother happened to be among them," Fan Haohe coughed lightly, and said, "Now he is being held in prison."

Seeing Fan Haohe's expression of hesitating to speak, Ah Yin said: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Fan Haohe said: "According to my investigation, it seems that your younger brother is not only gambling on trees, this time he is not only transported to Yongping for sale, but also opened a small casino to gamble together, so it just happens Hit the imperial court's ban."

Ah Yin was dumbfounded.

It is true that there was no ban on gambling in the court before, but it is against the law to gather together to gamble.

Fan Haohe also said: "Before, I was imprisoned in Baiyue because of debts, a total of three times, for about a year and a half, and then I was in peace for half a year until today."

Ah Yin only felt a headache. When he was still in Gongcheng, his father used to gamble a lot. He never expected that "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead." Nian pretended to do business outside to earn money and send gifts home, but it turned out to be just an illusion.

Fan Haohe asked: "What is the eldest girl going to do? Are you going to fish him out?"

A Yin said coldly: "What are you fishing for? Let him hang out for a while, and he won't die anyway." After being in prison for a year and a half, he still hasn't woken up. If he doesn't come back again and again, how can he remember the lesson?

Fan Haohe immediately understood the meaning of A Yin's words.

People need to be saved, but they have to suffer a little.

He said, "I see."

Five days later, at noon, when Ah Yin had just finished teaching in Qinghui Building and was about to take a break, Fan Haohe came in a hurry.After coming to Yongping, Ah Yin seldom saw such panic on Fan Haohe's face. She looked slightly condensed and asked, "What happened?"

Fan Haohe said: "Miss, something is wrong." He quickly said: "Your parents have come to Yongping, and now they are kneeling in front of our mansion, begging you to save Yin Minglang. People invited the two elders to go in, but the two elders were so stubborn that they insisted on kneeling in front of the mansion, saying that you would not get up if you didn't see the eldest girl. Now there are too many people watching the excitement around, and the two elders started talking about themselves when they caught one person The pain of suffering, I will... Miss you say it is very... unbearable."

In this era where the word filial piety is important, it is obviously an extremely damaging thing for Ah Yin that parents complain about their daughter outside.

A Yin calmly said: "Prepare the car and go back immediately, you stay in Qinghui Building."

Fan Haohe agreed.

After a pause, Ah Yin said again: "Let someone go and find out when my parents left for Yongping. Mingming's accident happened only five days ago, and it will take at least two months from Gongcheng to Yongping at the age of my parents. My mother didn't bring Brother Hao with her, so she obviously came prepared to find out who has been in contact with my parents in Gongcheng in the past two months as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Ah Yin smelled it sensitively One thing: "I also look into the matter of Qingming's gambling. I don't believe that after being in prison three times, Qingming dares to come to Yongping to gamble for the fourth time!"

Fan Haohe responded again.

Ah Yin quickly got into the car.

Before returning to the mansion, as expected, a group of people gathered around to watch the fun, and the attendants in the mansion persuaded in groups of twos and threes, and blocked the spectators in groups, so as not to cause riots.

Ah Yin hurried forward.

Before Yin Xiuwen and Qin could cry, Ah Yin had already spoken first: "If you want to save someone, follow me right away."

Yin Xiuwen said: "You saved Brother Lang first! I haven't seen Brother Lang, and I've been kneeling here for the rest of my life." Qin lowered her head and murmured, "Ah Yin, please save your brother."

The Ah Yin at this time is no longer the Ah Yin of that time, she is not anxious because of the stubbornness of the two elders.

She showed a gentle smile and shouted: "Father, mother."

After that, he slowly knelt down between the two elders, and said in a very low voice: "Did parents consider their daughter's reputation when they knelt here? I know not, the reputation has been ruined, and I don't care about ruining it more thoroughly. Yin Minglang is in prison, parents can be trusted to kneel here again, daughter has a thousand ways to keep Brother Lang out of prison in this lifetime?"

She obviously smiled so gently, but there was an extremely cold chill in her eyes, which made Yin Xiuwen and the elders shudder involuntarily.

Ah Yin said: "Father, mother, I'll count to three, if you don't want to go back home with me, I have no choice but to take my anger out on my brother, the prison is dark and dirty, it's quite normal to accidentally lose an arm. "

Yin Xiuwen got up immediately, and Qin Shi also stood up.

A servant girl came to help Ah Yin, but Ah Yin waved her hand and refused. She stood up by herself, turned sideways, and said, "Father and mother, please."
