In the early morning of 28 April, Zhang Sheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, had just arrived at the government office, preparing to arrange manpower and prepare for the trip. At this moment, the celebrant and eunuch Wang Gui arrived.

Wang Gui's eye bags were obvious, and the eye circles were a little dark, and sure enough, he opened his mouth and said, "Our family was by the emperor's side last night, and we didn't close our eyes at all." Did you go home and sleep for a while? ”

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Thinking about getting up early this morning, I quickly fell asleep." Princes kilometers by the side please. ”

The two walked into a corridor room, and Wang Gui's voice became quieter, and he "muttered" with Zhang Sheng for a while.

Zhang Sheng clenched his fists and said: "The minister will follow the will of the saint and do the errand well." ”

Wang Gui said: "The emperor also said that he only needs to say hello to Le Zhihou, and Le Zhihou is a reliable person." Let's bring the words to us, and then go back to make up for sleep. You said that people are also weird, you can still carry it without eating for a day, and you can't stay up without sleeping all night! ”

Zhang Sheng said: "Send the prince down." ”

"Stay, you're busy." Wang Gui's voice said.

…… Even the shadow of the sun was not visible at this moment, but the east was already white and bright. Ma Enhui had just gotten up, she washed up, put on a skirt, and sat down in front of the dresser to clean up her makeup.

She doesn't get up very early every day, but she doesn't get up until the sun rises, after all, there are several slaves and maids in this yard, and they don't look very good.

The palace maid Qiao'er helped Ma comb her hair, and at the same time opened the conversation: "It seems that something happened last night." In the morning, the people from the Shangshan Prison came and sent some fresh fish, meat and vegetables, and the eunuch said that the Wuying Hall was lively, and the ministers did not leave the palace in the middle of the night. ”

Ma Enhui asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qiao'er said: "The slave doesn't know yet, will I help you inquire later?" ”

"Forget it, I'm just asking casually." Ma Enhui glanced at Qiao'er from inside the bronze mirror. She knew that she didn't need to be instructed, Qiao'er would find a way to inquire, this palace maid was that kind of person.

Qiao'er seemed to notice Ma Enhui's gaze, and her eyes also looked into the bronze mirror. However, at this time, Ma Enhui's gaze wandered, and she already looked like she only cared about her makeup, and there was no trace at all.

"Madame is afraid that she is more than ten years older than the slave maid, but she is still so good-looking." Qiao'er said enviously.

Ma Enhui looked at the round and dignified goose egg face in the bronze mirror, thinking that she was indeed different from more than ten years ago, but there was no need to compare with a mediocre palace maid like Qiao'er.

Previously, Qiao'er said that she was going to inquire about last night, but it was soon no longer necessary...... Because after a while, someone said, "Madam, the Holy One has arrived!" ”

It is unusual for Zhu Gaoxu to come here early in the morning, and there must be something going on. Otherwise, the palace and the court are a little busy in the morning, what is Zhu Gaoxu doing when he comes to see her as an "idler" at this time?

Ma Enhui hurriedly went out to greet him, but seeing that Zhu Gaoxu's dark dragon suit was a little wrinkled, he couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face at all, as if he hadn't slept or slept well last night. It seems that he probably didn't sleep, because the clothes that the emperor wore when he first woke up were unlikely to be wrinkled.

"The concubine has seen the saint." Ma Enhui bowed.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to the eunuch behind him, looked at Ma Enhui and said, "I have a few words and want to talk to my cousin-in-law." ”

"Holy living room, please." Ma Enhui immediately made a gesture.

She took Zhu Gaoxu into a room, gave Qiao'er another look, and gently waved her head to the side, signaling the slaves to stand down. Just as she had just guessed, there must be something for Zhu Gaoxu this morning

Thing.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on a chair and exhaled a long breath, his face even more tired. He said directly: "There was a big incident the night before, and I only learned the news yesterday. ”

Ma Enhui said softly: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her face and said, "There was an arson case in the 'Easy City' in the Imperial City of the Central Capital!" The city is where the family of the waste prince lives. ”

"Ahh Ma Enhui lost her voice in surprise. She was stunned for a moment, and saw that although Zhu Gaoxu was very tired, his eyes were very attentive at this time! She immediately understood that the reason why Gao Xu came this morning was to suspect that this matter had something to do with her!

Ma Enhui asked, "Are there any casualties?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu replied: "Eight people were burned to death, and my eldest brother's family was killed. The other two, one of whom was the eunuch Wu Zhong. At present, it seems that Wu Zhong is very suspicious of arson! ”

When Ma Enhui heard this, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she was speechless for a while.

The two were silent for a while before Ma Enhui spoke: "A few months ago, the family of the abolished prince was still in the East Palace and did not go to Fengyang. The concubine received the grace of the saint and returned to the palace; Although he was no longer confined and could move around, the palace had long been a matter of fact, and the concubine could no longer contact Wu Zhong. ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

Ma Enhui thought of another "possibility" at this time: if she had guessed in advance that the family of the abolished prince was going to Fengyang, she could arrange Wu Zhong there in advance and instructed Wu Zhong to wait for the opportunity; Therefore, after Gao Chi's family arrived in Fengyang, Wu Zhong set the fire to her, and there was no need to obey her instructions!

…… This is certainly not the case!

But Ma Enhui couldn't defend herself, she suddenly remembered that when she left Fengyang, she had met Wu Zhong from afar. She didn't speak at the time, but could Wu Zhong misunderstand what she meant?

Thinking about it like this, Ma Enhui felt that she might really be inseparable!

It's just that the result of this incident is not what she thinks.

She had thought about revenge, but she had never decided to do so ruthlessly, sloppily, and recklessly! Ma Enhui previously wanted to use Guo Yan and find an opportunity to borrow the queen's power. Because the eunuch Yellow Dog next to the queen was Wu Zhong's godson!

So Ma Enhui has slowly found a way, she doesn't want to put so many people to death, and she doesn't plan to die with Gao Chi's family.

However, things don't always go as expected, and accidents often happen......

Ma Enhui sighed and said with a somewhat strange expression: "I do hate them (Gao Chi and his wife); Now that I know about it, I suddenly don't hate it, but I don't feel happy at all. Shouldn't I be happy? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I have three nephews. Among them, Zhang Fu's grandson and Guo Yan's son, how old are they and what can they understand? Both of them should be innocent. ”

Ma Enhui asked, "The Holy One is also innocent, right?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu had an expression of surprise on his face, turned his head to look over, and said, "Of course! This matter has nothing to do with me, but it is impossible to completely get rid of suspicion! ”

He may want to ask Ma Enhui directly if she did this; However, Ma Enhui's words just now and the words that justified herself already had an attitude, so Zhu Gaoxu didn't ask any more questions.

Does he believe Ma Enhui's words?

Ma Enhui had no way of knowing, but she felt that Gao Xu at least believed it a little! Otherwise, Gao Xu would have been furious. It is precisely because he cannot determine, or even prefer to believe, Ma Enhui; I didn't want to wronged her easily, so I behaved more restrained at this time

Suppressed?

Sometimes Gao Xu is a very strange person, and it seems that the more serious the matter, the less angry he is. On the contrary, some inconsequential careful thoughts, making him unhappy, he will vent his emotions.

However, Gao Xu shouldn't have believed her completely, after all, this matter is too serious! And Ma Enhui is indeed suspected of being unclear.

Ma Enhui sighed faintly: "I know that the Holy God does not fully believe me, but I believe in the Holy One. ”

If this matter was really done by Zhu Gaoxu, it would be too ugly. There was no need for him to come here and ask Ma Enhui.

Zhu Gaoxu also sighed after hearing this, and said: "Sister-in-law is in a very bad situation at this time, but I didn't expect that you still care if I am innocent." ”

Ma Enhui was also a little surprised when she heard this, and she also understood Zhu Gaoxu's surprised look just now.

"What will happen to you?" Ma Enhui asked cautiously.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said: "The suspicion of 'killing my brother's whole family' must not be completely cleared, there are so many people in the world, there will always be people who speculate, and there must be no way to leave such a posthumous name as 'cruel and ruthless'." In addition, the weakening of the military power of the vassal king and the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, two major events that had been prepared, became very dangerous at this time; ...... cannot be reconsidered"

Ma Enhui bit her lip and bit it very painfully.

She could understand Gao Xu's feelings. When his brother's whole family is killed, he will inevitably be sad. Even though the royal family's struggle for power and profit is very tragic, parents and brothers still have affection; Ma Enhui understands that some things can only be decided by weighing the importance and making difficult choices.

And an emperor is inexplicably infamous through the ages, affecting the stability of the throne. These things are not trivial!

Ma Enhui was also very confused in her heart, obviously King Yan was an enemy, but she was not happy at all at this time; On the contrary, it sympathizes with Gao Xu, which is a bit unreasonable. She muttered, "I know that the Holy One is an aspiring monarch, and now he is misunderstood by the world, must be very uncomfortable?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "Meaningful events are always very complicated and difficult, and misunderstandings are inevitable. If you don't endure everything, even burn your determination, what ambition can you have? ”

He paused and said in a casual tone: "I remember the words of a man who said that genius is to burn itself to illuminate the whole world. And I think that the ruler of the world should indeed have ability and ideals, and that the power of mediocrity will only harm the whole country. ”

The room was quiet for a while, and Gao Xu's voice suddenly said, "Sister-in-law really didn't instruct Wu Zhong?" ”

Ma Enhui looked at him with a pale face, speechless for a while.

Gao Xu said: "As long as you answer, I will believe you." ”

When Ma Enhui heard this, she raised her head to meet Gao Xu's gaze. She saw Gao Xu's eyes, sincere with a little expectation, as if expecting her to firmly deny it!

Ma Enhui's heart was inexplicably sour, and she seemed to feel something warm. She couldn't say it, but the feeling at this time was very strong and entangled!

She couldn't let herself say anything about denial!

She couldn't say anything. On the day she left Fengyang, she said goodbye to Wu Zhong, the meaning of which was too subtle; Ma Enhui wanted to explain, but there was no way to talk about it...... Sometimes people's language is really pale, and they may not be able to express all the meanings clearly.

Ma Enhui's gaze averted, and said, "I'll go make a pot of tea for the saint." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, looked at Ma Enhui with a complicated expression, and he nodded, "Okay." ”

Ma Enhui turned around, and tears immediately flowed down her cheeks.
