Bright Spring

Behind the big desk in the middle of the spacious hall, Zhu Gaoxu sat there alone for a long time.The sun was shining outside the hall, and a piece of sunlight poured in from outside the door. At first glance, it seemed to be still; but after a while, the shadows could be found to be moving.

What Xia Yuanji said made Zhu Gaoxu believe that most officials should be fine.The ones who have hidden worries right now are mainly the feudal princes!

He then thought of Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Xincheng, and soon thought that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Fu, a distinguished general like Zhang Fu; but some inconspicuous characters were easily overlooked, such as the queen's sister Guo Yan.

At the beginning when the queen asked Guo Yan to live in the palace, Zhu Gaoxu gave Wei Er a face.He didn't expect that such a thing would happen now, and he didn't plan to get rid of his second nephew Zhan Kai either!

Up to now, it's a bit tricky!Maybe you can find two people to observe secretly first, and then deal with it properly after a while.

……

Several days have passed since the fire in Central Capital.At this time, the news gradually spread among the people in the palace.

The queen knew about it before, but she was afraid that her sister would be too sad, so she didn't tell Guo Yan immediately; when more and more people found out, the queen said she was afraid that she would not be able to hide it, so she told Guo Yan herself.

"Kang Dang!" Guo Yan's hand trembled, knocking over the teacups on the table!Her face suddenly turned pale, and she blurted out in a daze, "Why?"

The empress persuaded her kindly: "At present, the case has progressed. It was the collusion between the eunuch Wu Zhong of the Jianwen Dynasty and the Jianwen Party|Yu. Wu Zhong's body was found in the residence of the deposed prince. This is the end of the matter, my sister's condolences..." The empress said Here, the voice is getting quieter, and the eyes are full of sympathy and sadness.

Guo Yan's whole body froze, her tongue seemed to be knotted, and she couldn't speak a word.

She suddenly burst into tears, almost heartbroken.Not only was she looking sad, but all the grievances and sufferings she had suffered for many years flowed from endless tears!

She cried for a long time, the queen could only comfort her constantly, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

When she was a little tired from crying, Guo Yan suddenly remembered the words of "Queen Zhang": Don't you

Think for yourself, have you ever thought about Zhan Kai?

The phrase "Queen Zhang" was said twice, and the meaning was different each time.

The first time I said it was when Guo Yan was fighting with Zhang during the Hongxi Dynasty, Zhang's words were threatening; the second time was that the crusade army had already entered the city, Guo Yan saw how miserable Zhang was, so she sneered With a sound, Mrs. Zhang replied that the sentence meant a reminder...Gao Chi also added a sentence: There are dead eggs under the overturned nest?

At that time, Guo Yan didn't think too much about it. Maybe she subconsciously felt that Zhan Kai was only a few years old and a bastard, so she wasn't too worried.

Thinking of this, Guo Yan couldn't help shivering, and murmured, "What did I do wrong?"

The queen said kindly: "Sister, don't worry too much, this sad and unfortunate incident is not my sister's fault. That Wu Zhong was the confidant eunuch next to Jianwen back then, and many people know it; the accomplice is also Jianwen's remnants! A few officials from the yamen go to investigate the case, and they will surely find out the truth and punish the murderer severely!"

Guo Yan was tired from crying, and sat there blankly in a daze.When she was crying just now, thinking of years of sad experience, she gradually began to question herself: Is it true that my mind is not as good as others?

The queen's voice said again: "The next day after the incident, the Holy Majesty received an urgent report from Babaili; that night, the Holy Majesty called a group of officials to announce the matter, and mentioned the ancestors of heaven and earth. This matter has nothing to do with the palace. I also think that the Holy Majesty is definitely not Those people! These are all old enemies from the past."

Guo Yan came to her senses, how is her current situation different from Gao Chi's other two wives and concubines?She was spared, but she relied on her younger sister to be the current queen!

And the younger sister, who is the empress and the mother of the world, must have the same nostrils as the emperor Gao Xu.If I offend the emperor and empress, what will happen?

She was thinking about who she could still rely on now. Her father had already received the grace of God and was the hereditary Marquis of Wuding, and Mrs. Xu was not her mother... Guo Yan already felt helpless at this moment!

"This matter must have nothing to do with the Holy Majesty. After all, we are brothers, and there will always be some affection, so it shouldn't be like this." Guo Yan choked up.

The queen breathed a sigh of relief: "My sister understands the reason for the relationship, there is nothing good about it."

Guo Yan said: "Queen, I want to see the emperor, can I be alone for a while."

The queen stood up and said, "I'll come to see my sister again in two days, you have to take care of yourself."

Guo Yan nodded with tears in her eyes.

After the queen left one after another, Guo Yan walked into the bedroom and stayed there for a long time.

Who is Wu Zhong...According to the queen, he was once a confidant eunuch beside Jianwen; did he really do it?

These things can be investigated slowly.After all, Jianwen's confidant eunuch, indeed more than one person knew; whether it was done by Wu Zhong, since the emperor announced the secret report that day, his father Guo Ming should also know.

After calming down a bit, Guo Yan felt that it would be a bit strange if Gao Xu wanted to "cut the grass and root out the roots". What kind of threat would a deposed prince and concubine have?

Guo Yan suddenly thought of someone she never paid much attention to: Ma Enhui!

Immediately, the matter of Ma Enhui came to Guo Yan's mind one after another.Ma Enhui's second son, Wen Gui, was killed, and she held a grudge; and Ma Enhui was once the Queen of Jianwen, so it is very possible that she can control people like Jianwen's confidant eunuch Wu Zhong!

Guo Yan gritted her teeth with hatred for a while, sad and frightened for a while, feeling isolated and helpless, she was extremely vulnerable.

Chapter 663 Unshakable

At dusk, the Youshi drum on the Xuanwu Gate has just sounded.

Zhu Gaoxu and the eunuch Wang Gui came to the south of the imperial garden, outside the courtyard where Ma Enhui lived. Wang Gui was carrying a cloth bundle.

"My concubine pays homage to the Holy Majesty!" When Ma Enhui came to the yard, she looked expressionless, but there was a faint hint of restrained surprise on her face.Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, and offered to say: "Let's go to the living room to talk a few words, I have something to discuss with my sister-in-law."

"Please, Your Majesty." Ma Enhui leaned forward and made a gesture.

Zhu Gaoxu waited for her to stand up straight, and couldn't help but glance over her chest.Ma Enhui also noticed it, and subconsciously pulled her in a little bit cleverly. "Ma Enhui couldn't help but praise.

Mrs. Shen said with a slight smile: "Someone around me said that the humidity is heavy, but there are few things that are perfect in this world."

Ma Enhui responded politely: "Mrs. Shen is right."

Mrs. Shen is a very intelligent person, she didn't ask any more questions, and she said insignificant words, but it made people feel a little interesting.Ma Enhui realized that this woman was by no means an ordinary person.

"Mrs. Wang looked inside and outside to see if it suits her wishes. I'll go and get some food and drinks for everyone. I arrived at the shelter at this time. You haven't had dinner yet?" Mrs. Shen said.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Ma Enhui hurriedly said: "Mrs. Shen took care of it herself, thank you very much."

Madam Shen said with a smile on her face: "The Holy Majesty is here tonight, so I won't let the servants serve for now. I will choose two more dignified servants to come over tomorrow." She bowed her knees to Zhu Gaoxu, "I will take my leave first."

After Mrs. Shen left, Ma Enhui said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Madam, you are really considerate."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I have known Shen Xu since I was in Yunnan. She also contributed money to help me in the 'Battle of Sin'. My cousin is assured of her reliability. Have you never heard of her?"

Ma Enhui shook her head lightly, and blurted out inattentively, "Your Majesty is in every place, maybe there are confidante?"

Zhu Gaoxu seemed unable to answer.

The three of them had dinner and planned to spend the night in this place.Zhu Gaoxu explained that as soon as the gates of the city opened in the morning, he would go back to the palace; now the gates of the capital, the gates of the imperial city, and the gates of the palace are all closed, and it is really troublesome to enter the gates.

Ma Enhui asked: "The Holy Majesty is not in the palace, won't he attract people's attention?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "I have made arrangements in advance and greeted the eunuch Cao Fu and Concubine Shu (Du Qianrui). It's only one night, nothing will happen."

Ma Enhui heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

There is a railing on the stone embankment, and behind the railing is a half-open courtyard dam; the courtyard dam is ventilated on three sides, but the roof supported by pillars can keep out the rain.Further back is a row of houses with several rooms.After dinner, after talking for a while, Ma Enhui left and went to the room prepared for her, packed her things and prepared to go to bed.
