Bright Spring

"En." Zhu Gaoxu made a sound thoughtfully.A tone that seems meaningless.

Chapter 659 Undeniable

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

Wang Gui's eye bags were obvious, and the eye circles were a bit dark. As expected, he greeted him immediately, "Our family was by the emperor's side last night, so we didn't close our eyes at all. Did Le Zhihou sleep for a while after returning home?"

Zhang Sheng nodded and said: "I was worried about getting up early this morning, so I quickly fell asleep. Your Majesty, please."

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

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng clasped his fists and said, "I will follow the Holy Majesty's wishes and handle the errands well."

Wang Gui said: "The emperor also said that you only need to say hello to Le Zhihou, Le Zhihou is a reliable person. Our family brought the words to me, so I went back to catch up on sleep. You said that people are also weird, and they don't eat for a day I can still carry it, I really can’t survive a night without sleep!"

Zhang Sheng said: "I will see off the prince."

"Leave a step, you are busy with your work." Wang Gui said in a voice.

... At this moment, I can't even see the shadow of the sun, but there is a bright light in the east.Ma Enhui just woke up, she just washed up, put on a skirt, and sat in front of the dressing table to tidy up her makeup.

She doesn't get up very early every day, but she doesn't wake up after the sun rises. After all, there are several servants in this yard, which doesn't look very good.

The palace maid Qiaoer started to chat while helping Mrs. Ma comb her hair: "It seems that something happened last night. The people from the Shangshan Supervisor came in the morning and brought some fresh fish, meat and vegetables. The eunuch said that the Hall of Martial Arts is very lively." , the ministers didn’t leave the palace in the middle of the night.”

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

Qiao'er said: "I don't know about it yet, can I help you find out later?"

"Forget it, I'm just asking casually." Ma Enhui glanced at Qiao'er from the bronze mirror.She knew that Qiao'er would find a way to find out without ordering, and this maid is that kind of person.

Qiao'er seemed to notice Ma Enhui's gaze, and she also looked into the bronze mirror.But at this time, Ma Enhui's gaze shifted, as if she only cared about her own makeup, without any trace at all.

"The madam may be more than ten years older than the servant girl, but she is still so pretty." Qiao'er said enviously.

Ma Enhui looked at the round and dignified oval face in the bronze mirror, thinking that she was indeed different from ten years ago, but there was no need to compare with a mediocre court lady like Qiaoer.

Earlier, Qiao'er said that she was going to inquire about what happened last night, but soon there was no need... because after a while, someone said: "Ma'am, the Holy Majesty has arrived!"

It is really unusual for Zhu Gaoxu to come here early in the morning, there must be something wrong.Otherwise, the palace and the court are a bit busy in the morning, why did Zhu Gaoxu come to see her, an "idle person" at this time?

Ma Enhui hurried out to meet Zhu Gaoxu, but saw that the black tuanlong suit on Zhu Gaoxu was a little wrinkled, and he couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face, as if he didn't sleep or didn't sleep well last night.It seems that he probably didn't sleep, because when the emperor just woke up, the clothes he wore were unlikely to be wrinkled.

"I have met the Holy Majesty myself." Ma Enhui bowed her knees and said.

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

"Please, Your Majesty, in the living room." Ma Enhui immediately gestured.

She led Zhu Gaoxu into a room, gave Qiao'er a wink, and slightly turned her head to the side, signaling the servants to back down.Just as she guessed just now, Zhu Gaoxu must have something to do this morning.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on a chair, exhaled a long breath, and his face became more tired.He said directly: "A major event happened the night before yesterday, and I only found out about it at Youshi yesterday."

Ma Enhui said softly: "What is that?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her face and said: "An arson case occurred in the 'Xiaoyao City' in the imperial city of Zhongdu! Xiaoyao City is where the abandoned prince's family lives."

"Ah!" 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 energetic at this moment!She immediately understood that the reason why Gao Xu came here this morning was that he suspected that this matter had something to do with her!

Ma Enhui asked, "Are there any casualties?"

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

Ma Enhui frowned when she heard this, and was speechless for a while.

The two were silent for a while, before Ma Enhui said: "A few months ago, the abandoned prince's family was still in the East Palace and did not go to Fengyang. I was blessed with the grace of the Holy Lord and returned to the palace; although I am no longer under confinement, I can walk around , but the palace has long since changed, and the concubine can no longer contact Wu Zhong."

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

At this time, Ma Enhui thought of another "possibility": If she had guessed in advance that the abandoned prince's family was going to Fengyang, she could arrange Wu Zhong there in advance, and instructed Wu Zhong to wait for the opportunity; so after Gao Chi's family arrived in Fengyang, , Wu Zhong sets|fires, so he no longer needs to follow her instructions!

...of course not!

But Ma Enhui couldn't explain it. She suddenly remembered that she had met Wu Zhong from a distance when she left Fengyang.He didn't speak at that time, but did Wu Zhong misunderstand her meaning?

Thinking about it this way, Ma Enhui felt that she might really have something to do with it!

It's just that the result of this matter is not what she thought.

She had thought about revenge, but she had never decided to use such a cruel, sloppy, and reckless way!Ma Enhui wanted to use Guo Yan before, and looked for an opportunity to borrow the Queen's power.Because the eunuch yellow dog next to the queen was once Wu Zhong's godson!

So Ma Enhui had already found a way out slowly, she didn't want to put so many people to death, let alone die with Gao Chi's family.

However, things don't always happen as expected, and accidents of one kind or another often occur...

Ma Enhui sighed, and said with a strange expression: "I really hate them (the Gao Chi couple); now that I know about it, I suddenly don't hate them, but I'm not happy at all. Should 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, what can they understand? They should be innocent."

Ma Enhui asked, "Isn't His Majesty innocent?"

Zhu Gaoxu had an unexpected expression 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 the suspicion!"

He might want to ask Ma Enhui directly if she did this. However, Ma Enhui's words and words of defense for herself just now have an attitude, so Zhu Gaoxu doesn'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 believed it at least a little bit!Otherwise, Gao Xu would have lost his temper.Just because he couldn't be sure, and even preferred to believe Ma Enhui; he didn't want to wrong her easily, so he showed more restraint at this time?

Sometimes Gao Xu is very strange, it seems that the more serious the matter is, the less he will get angry.On the contrary, some insignificant small thoughts make him unhappy, and he will vent his emotions.

But Gao Xu probably didn't believe her completely, after all, this matter is too serious!And Ma Enhui did have suspicions that she couldn't explain clearly.

Ma Enhui sighed quietly: "I know the Holy Majesty does not fully believe in me, but I do believe in the Holy Majesty."

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

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu also sighed, and said: "My sister-in-law is in a very bad situation at this time, I didn't expect that you still care about whether I am innocent or not."

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

"What are the consequences?" Ma Enhui asked carefully.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and said: "My suspicion of 'killing my brother's family' must not be completely cleared up. There are so many people in the world, and there will always be people who speculate that there must be no other way to deal with the posthumous name of 'cruel and ruthless'. In addition, weakening the military power of the vassal kings and the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, the two major events that have been prepared, have become very dangerous at this time; we cannot stop reconsidering..."

Ma Enhui bit her lip, which hurt very much.

She can understand Gao Xu's feelings.If his brother and family were killed|dead, he would definitely be sad.Even though the royal family struggled fiercely for power and profit, parents and brothers still have friendship; Ma Enhui understands that some things can only be made by weighing the severity and making difficult decisions.
