Chapter 659: Undeniable

In the early morning of April 28, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, had just arrived at the yamen office and was about to arrange personnel and prepare for the itinerary. At this moment, the eunuch of the Sili Prison, Wang Gui, arrived.

Wang Gui's eyes were obvious and his circles were a little black. Sure enough, he spoke and greeted: "Our family was by the emperor last night, so we didn't close our eyes at all. After Le Zhihou returned home, he slept for a while?"

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "I'm worried about getting up early this morning, so I quickly slept. Please ask the prince and the kilometres to go."

The two walked into a corridor, and Wang Gui's voice became less and he "muted" with Zhang Sheng for a long time.

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng clasped his fists and said, "I must follow the emperor's will and do my job well."

Wang Gui said, "The emperor also said, "Your Majesty has to say hello to Lezhihou. Lezhihou is a reliable person. We will bring the conversation and go back to make up for the night. You are also strange. You can still carry it if you don't eat for a day, but you can't stand it if you don't sleep for a night!"

Zhang Sheng said: "I'm sending you to the prince."

"Stay here, you're busy with yours." Wang Gui said in his voice.

...At this moment, even the shadow of the sun was invisible, but the east side had already turned white and shining. Ma Enhui had just gotten up, and she had just washed up, put on a skirt, sat in front of the dressing table to pack her makeup.

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

While combing Ma's hair, the palace maid Qiaoer opened her conversation: "It seemed like something happened last night. In the morning, the people from Shangshenjian came and brought some fresh fish, meat, vegetables and vegetables. The eunuch said that the Wuying Palace was lively and the ministers did not leave the palace in the middle of the night."

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

Qiaoer said, "I don't know yet, will I ask you later?"

"Forget it, I'll just ask casually." Ma Enhui looked at Qiao'er from the bronze mirror. She knew that there was no need to give instructions, 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 looked into the bronze mirror. However, at this time, Ma Enhui's gaze was already flowing, and she looked like she only cared about her makeup, without any trace.

"Madam is probably more than ten years older than me, but she is still so beautiful." 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 her ten years ago, but there was no need to compare it with a mediocre palace maid like Qiaoer.

Qiaoer had previously said she wanted to inquire about last night, but it was no longer necessary soon... Because after a while, someone said, "Madam, the emperor has arrived!"

It is unusual for Zhu Gaoxu to come here early in the morning. Something must be happening. Otherwise, the imperial court would be a little busy in the morning. What would Zhu Gaoxu do when he came to see her, a "idle"?

Ma Enhui hurriedly went out to greet him, but saw that Zhu Gaoxu's black dragon suit was a little wrinkled, and his face couldn't hide his fatigue. It seemed that he hadn't slept last night or hadn't slept well. It seemed that he hadn't slept, because the clothes he wore when the emperor just got up were unlikely to have wrinkles.

"I have met the Lord." Ma Enhui bowed his knees and said.

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

"Please be in the living room of the Supreme Lord." Ma Enhui immediately made a gesture.

She took Zhu Gaoxu into a room, then winked at Qiao'er, gently waved her head to the side, and signaled her servants to retreat. As she had just guessed, something would happen to Zhu Gaoxu this morning.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on a chair, exhaled a long breath, his face getting even more tired. He spoke directly: "There was a big deal the night ago, and I only learned the news yesterday at You hour."

Ma Enhui whispered: "What's that?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her face and said, "There was a fire case in the 'Xiaoyao City' in Zhongdu Imperial City! Xiaoyao City is where the deposed 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, her eyes were very vivid at this moment! She immediately understood that the reason why Gao Xu came this morning was that she suspected that this matter was related to her!

Ma Enhui asked, "Can there be casualties?"

Zhu Gaoxu replied: "Eight people were burned to death, and my elder brother and his family were killed. One of the other two people, one of the eunuch Wu Zhong. At present, it seems that Wu Zhong Zong is very suspicious of fire!"

When Ma Enhui heard this, her eyebrows frowned and could not speak for a moment.

After the two were silent for a while, Ma Enhui said, "A few months ago, the deposed prince's family was still in the Eastern Palace and did not go to Fengyang. I was blessed with the grace of the emperor and returned to the palace. Although I was no longer imprisoned and could walk around, the palace had changed a lot and I could no longer contact Wu Zhong."

"Well..." Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

Ma Enhui thought of another "possibility" at this time: if she guessed in advance that the deposed prince's family was going to Fengyang, she could arrange Wu Zhong there in advance and instruct Wu Zhong to wait for the opportunity; so after Gao Chi's family arrived in Fengyang, Wu Zhong Zonghuo did not need to obey her instructions!

...Of course this is not the case!

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

Thinking of this, Ma Enhui felt that she might really be inseparable!

But the result of this incident was not what she thought.

She had thought about avenging her, but she never decided to use such a cruel, hasty, and reckless way! Ma Enhui had wanted to use Guo Yan before and find an opportunity to borrow the power of the queen. Because the eunuch Huang Gou, who was next to the queen, was Wu Zhong's godson!

So Ma Enhui had already found a way, and she didn't want to kill so many people, nor did she plan to die with Gao Chi's family.

However, things always cannot happen as expected, and accidents often occur...

Ma Enhui sighed and said with a strange expression: "I do hate them (Gao Chi and his wife); now that I know this, I suddenly stop hating you, but I am 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, "The Lord is innocent too?"

Zhu Gaoxu had an unexpected expression on his face, turned 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 might want to ask Ma Enhui directly if she did this; however, Ma Enhui's words just now had an attitude, so Zhu Gaoxu no longer asked this more.

Does he believe Ma Enhui's words?

Ma Enhui had no idea, but she felt that Gao Xu was at least a little convinced! Otherwise Gao Xu would have been furious long ago. It was because he could not make up that he would even believe Ma Enhui; he did not want to be wronged easily, so he acted more restrained at this time?

Sometimes Gao Xu is very strange. It seems that the more serious the matter is, the less angry he will get. Instead, some irrelevant little thoughts will make him unhappy and he will vent his emotions.

However, Gao Xu should not believe her entirely, after all, this fact is too serious! And Ma Enhui is indeed suspicious of being unable to explain clearly.

Ma Enhui sighed with a sigh: "I know that the Lord does not believe in me completely, but I believe in the Lord."

If Zhu Gaoxu really did this, it would be too ugly. He didn't need to come here and ask Ma Enhui.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said, "My cousin is in a bad situation at this time. I didn't expect that you still care whether I am innocent."

After hearing this, Ma Enhui was a little surprised. 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 and family' must not be completely clear. There are so many people in the world that there will always be people who speculate that there is no way to be a reputation like 'cruel and ruthless'. In addition, weakening the military power of the vassal kings and the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, these two major things have become very dangerous at this time; we must not stop thinking about it again..."

Ma Enhui bit her lips and it hurt so much.

She could understand Gao Xu's feelings. He would inevitably be sad when his brother and his family were killed. Even if the royal family fought for power and profit fiercely, his parents and brothers still had friendship. Ma Enhui understood that some things could only be considered for the severity of the seriousness and difficulty of making decisions.

Moreover, an emperor inexplicably bears a stigma for generations and affects the stability of the throne. These things are not easy!

Ma Enhui was also very confused. Although the King of Yan was an enemy, she was not happy at all at this time; instead, she sympathized with Gao Xu, which was a bit unreasonable. She murmured: "I know that the emperor is an ambitious monarch, but now that he is misunderstood by the world, it must be very uncomfortable?"

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "Major things that are meaningful are always complicated and difficult, and misunderstandings are inevitable. If you don't endure everything and even burn your own determination, how can you talk about ambition?"

He paused and said in a casual tone: "I remembered that there was someone's words, genius burned himself to illuminate the whole world. And I think that the rulers of the world should indeed have ability and ideals. Mediocre people's power will only harm the entire country."

The room was quiet for a while, and Gao Xu's voice suddenly said, "My cousin really didn't instruct Wu Zhong?"

Ma Enhui looked at him with a pale face and couldn't speak for a moment.

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

When Ma Enhui heard this, she raised her head to face Gao Xu's gaze. She saw Gao Xu's eyes sincerely with some expectations, as if she was expecting her to deny it firmly!

Ma Enhui felt inexplicably sad, and she seemed to feel something warm. She couldn't say it, but her feelings were very strong and entangled!

She couldn't even let herself say something about denial!

She couldn't say anything. On the day she left Fengyang, the farewell side she said to Wu Zhong was too subtle; Ma Enhui wanted to explain, but she couldn't say it... Sometimes people's language is really pale and they may not be able to express all the meanings clearly.

Ma Enhui's eyes dodged and said, "I'll make a pot of tea for the emperor."

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