Chapter 494: Who will be the spy around you?
Ma Xiuying walked out of the dormitory and glanced at the palace people who were busy outside, everyone's expressions were deferential, their movements were natural, and they were no different from the past, I really couldn't believe that Guo Hui had planted a spy among them.
But if Guo Hui hadn't planted someone in Kunning Palace, how could he know her every move. Especially when she found that Guo Hui and Li Shanchang were connected, she had not publicized it, and only a few henchmen knew about it, and it immediately spread to Guo Hui's ears.
Thinking of the betrayal of someone among the closest people around her, Ma Xiuying's eyes narrowed slightly, and she commanded expressionlessly: "The weather is good today, I want to go out for a walk." ”
Fu'an and Fude immediately said, "Does the master want to sit on his shoulder?"
"No, just go to Yuhu for a walk, and Xunying can accompany me. Ma Xiuying only called Xunying to follow, and the only person she can trust is Xunying at present.
Yuhu Lake is a living water that Zhu Yuanzhang re-excavated and introduced after filling up the Taiye Pond, where the terrain is flat, there are no buildings around, the situation in the vicinity is clear at a glance, and her conversation with Xunying is not afraid of being overheard.
"It's windy outside, so you're wearing a robe. Before Xun Ying finished speaking, she saw that Ma Xiuying had already stepped out of the palace gate, so she had to catch up quickly.
The air is wafting with the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and the small beige flowers are hidden in the green leaves one by one, and the autumn wind blows, and the flower grains fall with the dead leaves, like a little snow flying, and like broken gold scattered all over the ground.
There were a few little palace maids picking osmanthus flowers in front, and when they saw Ma Xiuying, they hurriedly asked for peace.
"Stay safe. Ma Xiuying waved her hand, relieved a few people from kneeling, and led Xunying until she walked to the vicinity of the Royal Lake before stopping.
Many flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the lake. Autumn flowers and plants such as cannas, hibiscus, hollyhocks, dahlias, begonias, and chrysanthemums bloom under the careful care of craftsmen. Colourful flowers add a lot of colour to the empty space, and there are small shrubs that are so green and vibrant that you don't feel the bleakness of autumn.
Xun Ying didn't have the heart to appreciate these beautiful scenery, and her habit for many years told her that Ma Xiuying must have something to do when she asked her out alone. Her attention was all around her, and when she carefully observed that no one else appeared nearby, she cautiously asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
"Xun Ying, have you found that there is anyone in the palace who has close contacts with the people of Jingyang Palace?" Ma Xiuying sighed, she thought that she was not bad to the people of Kunning Palace, especially in front of a few henchmen, she rarely put up a fight, and as a result, someone still betrayed her. Although I have long understood the indispensable truth of guarding against others, I am still disappointed and sad when I really encounter such a thing.
"Master?" Xun Ying was asked so that the second monk was confused, who didn't know that Concubine Hui and Ma Xiuying were not on the same page, and even the palace people with Jingyang Palace and Kunning Palace didn't like each other, not to mention close contacts, even if they met, they didn't know each other.
"Mrs. Li said that someone around me sent a message to Concubine Hui...... "Ma Xiuying pinched a moon flower, and the green stems and vines were densely covered with small thorns and fluff, she gently peeled off these small thorns and belt thorns, and then pinched hard, and a delicate bud immediately disappeared.
A small gesture can show Ma Xiuying's anger now, she threw away the remaining flowers in her hands without pity, she didn't want to be this spicy person who destroyed flowers, but the other party had already challenged her bottom line, and she couldn't tolerate it anymore.
"Who is it?" Xun Ying was furious, no wonder Ma Xiuying wanted to take her to an empty place where no one was talking, but she didn't expect that there would be a spy in Kunning Palace.
"Mrs. Li said that Concubine Hui did not point out who the spy is, you should pay attention to the investigation, don't alarm the other party, the person who can leak my words and deeds must be the people who serve me closely. Ma Xiuying herself is also guessing that she is used to using female officials, and in addition to Xunying, who serves her closely, she is Fan Lotus, Bai Ling, Zijuan, and Luliu, four big palace maids and a few attendant eunuchs.
Sunshadow doesn't have to doubt it.
The four palace maids have also followed her for more than ten years, serving by her side since she got married, and have been cautious and loyal for many years, and should not betray her.
Fushun is the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, even if Concubine Hui gives him great benefits, he is not as good as his current status, as long as he has a little brain, he will not do such a stupid thing.
In addition, there were two eunuchs Fu An and Fu De, but Ma Xiuying did not call them that day, so it is unlikely that they knew about it. And the rest of the palace knows even less, who will it be?
Xun Ying really didn't want to believe that the closest person around Ma Xiuying would do such a thing, "Could it be that Concubine Hui deliberately instigated the relationship between the master and everyone?"
"I don't want to doubt the people around me, but if no one leaks the news, how will Concubine Hui and Li Shanchang know what small actions they have teamed up to do?" Ma Xiuying sneered, Concubine Hui's hand was really long enough.
"The slave and maid will stare at them when they go back!" Xun Ying was so angry that he wanted to find out the spy immediately.
"My biggest concern right now is the prince's safety. ”
"Does Concubine Hui have the courage and means?" Can't help but be suspicious of Xunying, Guo Hui usually gives her the impression that she is a big-breasted and brainless woman, who often makes some small actions that can't be put on the stage, but every time she is easily resolved by Ma Xiuying.
Thinking back to what happened in the palace in the past two years, Concubine Cheng Mu was aborted, Daoyan was in distress in the palace, Guo Hui and the ministers had already colluded, Ma Xiuying felt that she underestimated Guo Hui, "I don't know, but I think this woman is a little crazy, she wanted to kill Daoyan in the palace last time." ”
"Then should we tell the emperor?" Xun Ying put away his attitude of contempt for Guo Hui, and couldn't treat a madman with common sense.
"How to tell the emperor without evidence, the emperor is the most disliking and suspicious, if Concubine Hui bites me back, saying that I framed and suppressed her, it will be mine. Ma Xiuying laughed self-deprecatingly, Guo Hui usually looked stupid and became her protective color, without evidence, Zhu Yuanzhang would never believe that this woman would harm his eldest son.
"How could Han Gong let the prisoner commit suicide? Xunying is very sorry, if there is evidence, it will be good to prove Guo Hui.
"How can the prisoner be taken out if he doesn't commit suicide?" Ma Xiuying said coldly, "I don't believe Mrs. Li's words, how can Hu Weiyong, a newly rising courtier, get on the line with the harem concubines, Li Shanchang, the old fox, is afraid that I will do it, so I pushed a ghost out for the dead." also wanted to use me as a gunman to help him suppress Hu Weiyong. ”
"This man is too insidious, the master can't let him go!" Xun Ying clenched his fists.
"He is a very powerful minister, and there are many subordinate officials, so I can't rush it. The top priority is to ensure the safety of the crown prince, and wait for me to clean up Concubine Hui before dealing with him. Ma Xiuying frowned, "Let's go see the prince." ”
The two of them said as they walked towards the East Palace.
"Do you want to tell the prince?"
"No, telling the prince will only make him nervous, if it's just a matter of chasing the wind and shadows, it will affect his mood. ”
"The prince didn't watch out, in case ......"
"The crown princess is smart and wise, I will tell her to pay attention to the situation in the East Palace. ”
