Zhu Yuanzhang left Kunning Palace after asking about Luliu, the life and death of a slave maid is not worth his thoughts, what he cares about is the reason why Ma Xiuying is making a big move in the palace.

There was such a big thing today, and everyone in the palace knew that Ma Xiuying was in a bad mood, and she was silent one by one, her movements were a little slower than usual, and she couldn't wait to become invisible. Fushun led people to inspect the inside and outside of Kunning Palace, even if it was a dog hole, it was tightly blocked.

It was late at night, and Ma Xiuying was still leaning on the soft couch and pondering. Originally, she didn't pay much attention to Guo Hui, but after this incident, she knew that she underestimated Guo Hui, or rather, underestimated the forces that secretly supported Guo Hui. These people's methods are unfathomable, and they can do one thing so seamlessly that everyone but her believes it to be true.

Such a sky-like method is definitely not something that Guo Hui's stupid woman can come up with, who is it? Is it Li Shanchang? Or Hu Weiyong? or someone else? The spy thing was still told to her by Li Shanchang, and Li Shanchang should not need to kill people again. Hu Weiyong, a newly promoted courtier, how could he cultivate such a huge power in the palace in such a short period of time? Who did the others hate her to the bone and wanted to deal with her with all their hearts?

Thousands of thoughts converged like a stream, Ma Xiuying just remembered something, and suddenly her train of thought was interrupted by Xun Ying, and she suddenly forgot what she was thinking about before, she looked at Xun Ying helplessly, almost crazy.

Xun Ying stubbornly persuaded: "Master, it's time to go to bed." ”

"Go down and rest, and I'll sit down a little longer." Ma Xiuying waved her hand, thinking that someone on the side of the couch was peeping at any time, how could she sleep peacefully.

Xun Ying lit the candle, "The master doesn't sleep, and the slave doesn't dare to rest." ”

Ma Xiuying sighed, "Xun Ying, did you say that Green Willow was killed by the inmates or other reasons?"

"The slave maid doesn't know," Xun Ying opened her mouth hesitantly, and when she saw Ma Xiuying's disappointed eyes, she finally gritted her teeth and said: "The slave maid thinks that Green Willow is low-key, and she rarely goes out of the palace, and it is unlikely that she will be favored by Yang Jieyu's chamberlain." Besides, everyone knows that she is the female official next to the master, so how can the chamberlain have so much courage to bully her. Why don't you go and check ...... slave again?"

"Hehe," Ma Xiuying laughed in a low voice, "You think it's strange, but the emperor takes it for granted." He was pretending to be confused with his cleverness, and he didn't want me to continue to investigate, now that he has made up his mind, what else can you find. As he was talking, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind, and he thought of something, but unfortunately he was interrupted by Xun Ying again.

Xun Ying shouted in both heartache and helplessness, "Master!"

Ma Xiuying was so angry that she pinched her cheeks vigorously, "Don't show this crying face, your master and I haven't collapsed yet." Guo Hui thought that this would hit me, but he underestimated me too much. I'm sure that no matter whether Luliu is a spy or not, there must still be people from her in Kunning Palace, and you keep an eye on Zijuan and them for me. ”

Xun Ying couldn't care about the pain in his face, and his eyes widened, "Is the master suspicious of Zijuan?"

"She is very suspicious, except for her, and everyone who serves me in close quarters is suspicious, because only they know about the conversation between Mrs. Li and me alone, and you didn't avoid them when you searched for the whereabouts of Green Willow later. Ma Xiuying smiled bitterly, "People say that Lu Yao knows that horsepower will see people's hearts for a long time, but to me, the more time passes, the more I can't see people's hearts." ”

Xun Ying said with annoyance: "If only the master hadn't handed over the Shadow Guard Organization to the emperor, how could he be so passive." ”

Sure enough, he is the closest master and servant, and even his thoughts are the same. Ma Xiuying snorted: "If I don't hand over the Shadow Guard Organization, I'm afraid that a catastrophe will come a long time ago, the emperor doesn't trust me as much as before, if he knows that I have a private hand, he will definitely not let me go......"

"How can the emperor be like this? You are his wife!"

"Since ancient times, the emperor has been a lonely man, who else will he trust besides himself, and the ruthlessness of the heavenly family comes from this. ”

Xun Ying's heart was as cold as the cold dew outside the window, "Master, don't be sad, you still have the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince." ”

"Alas, except for the crown prince, I am disappointed by both Zhang'er and Li'er, I am too used to them. Speaking of her sons, Ma Xiuying's brows furrowed even more, and she blamed herself very much.

Since she knew that she could no longer have children, she put all her maternal love on her three children, which was a little too doting. Zhu Biao was carefully taught by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, and he did not grow crooked, but Zhu Fan and Zhu Di were guided lawlessly by Guo Hui and his servants because she was absent from the mansion for a while, and then acted more and more domineering under her doting. People say that you can see old at the age of three, and these two children have been vicious for a long time, and I am afraid that they will not be easy to train.

Xun Ying hurriedly comforted: "Master, don't be angry, the two princes will go to the military camp to exercise for a few months, and they will definitely be reborn when they come back." ”

"I hope so. Ma Xiuying doesn't ask Zhu Fan and Zhu Di to learn much ability, she just hopes that they can spend their lives in peace. With the identity of the prince and the care of the future emperor Zhu Biao, it should be no problem to live a rich life in this life.

During the Spring Festival, Zhu Yuanzhang specially allowed Zhu Zhang, Zhu Di and Zhu Di to return to the palace for a reunion.

Ma Xiuying complained that her two sons were not angry, but when they met, she held them in her arms and looked them up and down, and when she saw that the two sons were black and thin, tears suddenly rolled out. Woo, she doesn't like her son to become a black charcoal head, she still hopes for a chubby group carved in pink and jade.

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di also wept bitterly when they saw her, they were guilty of being in the barracks, they had to get up and run before dawn, and the dignified sons crawled on the ground like dogs, and they had to fight with weapons heavier than their bodies...... Once Zhu Rong was almost scratched in the face by the opponent's spear, and another time Zhu Rong didn't hold the fire gun in his hand steadily, and fell down and smashed the instep of his foot.

But the lieutenant who was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang did not let them go at all, even if they were injured, they had to continue to exercise. This kind of torture is simply miserable, so that the two people who have lived in a comfortable environment since childhood think that they have come to hell. They cried and begged Ma Xiuying, unwilling to go to the barracks anymore.

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried, Ma Xiuying's heart was twisted, and she said repeatedly: "Don't go, don't go, I'll stay with the queen mother in the future." ”

"No, I'll go to the barracks after the New Year!" A loud shout interrupted the crying of the mother and son, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who had gone down to the court, became angry when he saw Zhu Fan and Zhu Di's nest, "Di'er is also training in the army, I have never heard him complain for half a sentence, and the generals all say that he can endure hardships and never bully others." On the contrary, it is the two of you who do not train well, and often use the status of the prince to resist the orders of the generals. Hmph, if you dare to do this again, I will cut off your royal title and demote you to concubines!"

Ma Xiuying knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was just scaring the child, but when she heard that her son's performance in the army was so stubborn, she couldn't help but get angry, and said with distress: "Are you not even as good as your younger brother? The queen mother can't indulge you anymore, everything is still under your father's arrangement." ”

Zhu Rong and Zhu Di were so frightened that they trembled, they would have nothing if they lost their status as princes and princes, and they hated Zhu Di who was better than them to death, if Zhu Di was not compared, they would not be so unbearable.
