The scenery at the end of April is just like Li Qingzhao's "green, fat, red and thin".

And Ma Enhui, who was confined in Fengyang, could see nothing more than a few trees in the yard and the weeds in the corner. The branches and foliage of the treetops are already lush and dense, and full of life.

The people Ma Enhui can usually see, in addition to the mute old palace maid who brings her food, the miscellaneous old eunuch who cleans the yard and can't hear very well, and the eunuch Menzi who guards the courtyard, she can occasionally see the eunuch Wu Zhong.

Wu Zhong, as a close eunuch of Emperor Jianwen, should have been executed a long time ago. But Wu Zhong had a godson named Yellow Dog, who went to the Han Dynasty on an errand at the beginning of Yongle and found some ways to save Wu Zhong's life. As soon as that period passed, no one above remembered Wu Zhong, the eunuch slave.

is also guarding the mausoleum, Ma Enhui is very strictly guarded, but Wu Zhong is not concerned. From time to time, he looks for opportunities to send something over, and he can also see Ma Enhui.

Most of the days she lived here, Ma Enhui felt as if time stood still, yesterday and tomorrow, there was almost no difference. No one spoke to her, and the eunuchs and palace maids who delivered food and things were like mutes; You can't bring any books and letters here, and Ma Enhui doesn't even have a chance to read books to pass the time. She was often bored to the extreme, and that feeling could drive people crazy.

Sometimes she reminisces for a long time, thinking about the circumstances of the first twenty years of her life, and the days go back in fantasy. Her life ended in her twenties, and the rest of her life seemed to be only in memory. But why live?

The hatred, shame, and humiliation in her memories constantly tormented her, and she thought about it for too long, and she would always have nightmares at night.

She had to find something to do, and waiting for the trees in the yard was what she was most willing to do. Observing their slow withering and changing, Ma Enhui could at least sense the flow of the days.

In addition to the four plum trees, there are also two grandson trees with beautiful leaves. It is pale green at this time, and it is more beautiful when it turns yellow in autumn.

Ma Enhui took a hoe and hoeed away the weeds near the roots of the trees, loosening the soil for them so that it would be easier to soak the soil when watering. She smelled the scent of summer earth and the faint smell of the leaves, and thought nothing to herself, this was the best time to live.

The silk and bamboo orchestral singing and dancing feasts of the past, and the lively and magnificent luxurious palace rooms, have long disappeared. Today's Ma Enhui doesn't need any etiquette, no expectations, everything is back to dull and boring.

She wore a white cotton skirt and a light gray cross-collared linen blouse, like a young woman in an ordinary family. She didn't wear silk clothes for a long time, the silk material is very squeamish, easy to break and become old, Ma Enhui can't get new materials, if you wear old silk is simply a down-and-out look, it is better to wear cotton and linen.

However, her eyes are clear, her facial features and eyebrows have a dignified atmosphere, and her skin is snow-white, which is not comparable to ordinary women. Ma Enhui is the main palace designated by Emperor Taizu for his grandson, in addition to the surname Ma, Taizu also likes her qualifications in Xiuwaihui, of course, it will not be bad.

At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly opened, and Wu Zhong walked in with a jar of things.

Ma Enhui heard the movement, stood up straight with the hoe and looked over there. She reached out and stroked a few strands of hair scattered from her sideburns, and watched Wu Zhong gradually come over. What happened in this yard

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Too little, so Ma Enhui was very concerned about Wu Zhong at this time.

Wu Zhong, who was thin in stature, bent down to Ma Enhui and saluted, and went straight to carry the jar into the middle hall. Ma Enhui put down the hoe and walked in.

Wu Zhong put down the jar, bent down, and said loudly: "The slave is afraid that the mother will run out of lamp oil and be afraid of the dark at night, so I will send the lamp oil to the lady at this time." ”

Ma Enhui nodded. She hadn't said a word for too long, and she felt a little struggling to speak now, and she didn't have to answer. Wu Zhong came once, he should not only send something, Ma Enhui quietly waited for the following.

Sure enough, Wu Zhong immediately glanced outside the door again, and said in a deep voice: "The slave maid heard some news. The king of Han rebelled last year, won one victory after another, defeated hundreds of thousands of troops led by Xue Lu, Gu Cheng, Zhang Fu, Wu Gao, etc., and captured the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. When the king of Han captured the city of Chengdu, he captured Guo Zi, the political envoy of Sichuan Province, the head of the imperial court, and wanted to replace Guo Zi, including Niangniang! ”

As he said this, he looked out the door from time to time, looking uneasy and worried. The speed of speech was also very urgent, but fortunately, Wu Zhong had been in Beijing for many years, and his speech was clear and his accent was easy to understand, so Ma Enhui could hear every word he said clearly.

"Change me?" Ma Enhui said in surprise.

Wu Zhong nodded and said: "The news is true, the person who told the slave maid about these things is Jinyiwei's person, he listened to Jinyiwei's commander Tan Qing himself!" ”

Wu Zhong said, hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "The slave doesn't dare to stay for a long time, so I will leave first." ”

Ma Enhui was still immersed in confusion and surprise, and when she came back to her senses, Wu Zhong had already left, as if he hadn't come. But Ma Enhui didn't think it was an illusion just now, she clearly remembered Wu Zhong's subtle demeanor, mannerisms and movements.

Her heart, which was originally dead, was suddenly disturbed. What disturbs the dead silence is a faint hope.

Ma Enhui only knew that the Han King Zhu Gaoxu had returned to Beijing last year, and when Emperor Yongle died, Gao Xu left Beijing. What happened in it, Ma Enhui didn't know at all, and only now did she know that Gao Xu had rebelled!

Why did Gao Xu still think about her? Why would you want to exchange your captives for yourself?

Ma Enhui thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out the main reason. But she couldn't fool herself, and she was very much looking forward to leaving Fengyang, and the days here were simply difficult...... It's also strange to say, there is probably nothing lacking in daily use, and no one embarrasses her, but it's very uncomfortable.

In the evening, Ma Enhui was lying on the bed alone, still thinking about what Wu Zhong said today.

She thought back and forth several times about Gao Xu's memories. Too long has passed since those events, and some things in Ma Enhui's mind have been blurred, but some trivial fragments have become clearer, even clearer than when they happened.

Sister-in-law, I am here today mainly to say goodbye. I have been made a prince, and I will leave Beijing for the vassal kingdom in a while......

Ma Enhui clearly remembered his face, Gao Xu was only in his twenties at the time, his face was very young, but he looked thoughtful and preoccupied, and there was clearly sadness and reluctance in his expression. Ma Enhui thought about it carefully, wondering if her feelings were delusional. Gao Xu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

is the son of King Yan, and he shouldn't be reluctant to give up on her. Some of the emotions are really inexplicable.

If the sister-in-law does not decide to confess, she must never admit that you know the whereabouts of Jianwen's father and son......

Ma Enhui even remembered waking up from the outside of the burning Fengtian Temple, the touch on her lips, the smell in her nose, and the shame she felt at that time.

After thinking about it until the middle of the night, she seemed to gradually feel why Zhu Gaoxu remembered her for so long and wanted to exchange important captives for her subtle connection.

Except for the first "meeting", Gao Xu had physical contact in order to save her, and the two never touched each other again. But for some reason, Ma Enhui always felt that she was very familiar with Gao Xu, probably because of the fate of several sides, but she herself thought about it too many times; So she seemed to have been with Gao Xu for a long time.

Ma Enhui lay flat for a long time in the dark place where she couldn't see her fingers, thinking about the ethereal things that were suddenly near and far. She felt a faint warmth in the darkness.

Even when Ma Enhui's mother was at her most powerful in the world, there were many people who were kind to her, and people were flattering and respectful, but those things seemed to be too superficial. It wasn't until she met Gao Xu that Ma Enhui noticed such a trace. She sighed, moved and rolled over. The warm breath was like a silent drizzle of moisturizing things, like a calm flowing hot spring, silently and imperceptibly, as if flowing in her body.

She suddenly noticed something, and suddenly felt a heat on her face. Immediately extremely humiliated in her heart, she was very clear that the people in Yanwang's Mansion were all enemies of their family! In addition to new and old grudges, in the royal family, Gao Xu is her relative again. So she categorically believes that her feelings are wrong.

Ma Enhui can say something righteously, but unfortunately there is no audience around at all. But she was glad that no one knew her heart, and she felt a lot more relaxed. So she felt that she was not much wrong, reason is one thing, but she was locked up in the palace for a few years, and then to Fengyang, and she lived alone for too long. It's inevitable to be cranky.

…… Perhaps because she is a woman, she thinks differently from a man with great power. In Ma Enhui's heart, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who ruined her family, is not the person she hates the most; What she hates the most is Zhu Gaochi and his wife!

King Yan rebelled, Jianwen quelled the rebellion, the success or failure of the war between the two sides was determined, even if the righteousness was different, in fact, they were each living for their own lives and fighting for power. But the killing of Ma Enhui's second son, Moon Gyu, is different! Wen Gui is still a child who can't speak, and he is locked up in Fengyang, what harm is he doing? But they were brutally removed!

They didn't even want to hide it, and the commander of Jinyiwei sent Tan Qing to bring a message, saying that Ma Enhui had brought it upon herself and had been punished by God, telling her to think about what she had done wrong! Ma Enhui felt the blatant trampling and ridicule.

Moon Gyu took all her hope with her. Let her only have nightmares in hatred, anger, and helplessness.

Now, the fighting in King Yan's Mansion originally had nothing to do with Ma Enhui. But she suddenly looked forward to it intensely. Gao Xu can win, and she hopes that Gao Xu will not let go of the Zhang family, so that the Zhang family can also taste the loss of all their relatives and hope!

Ma Enhui couldn't help but ponder a question: Can Gao Xu win, will he be ruthless to his own eldest brother's family?
