Chapter 770 Insider

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that he was a little cruel.

But he still couldn't help it, turned to look at the curtain in front of the door of the ear room, and spoke: General Ruan, come out.

When Chen Xianzhen heard this, her face changed suddenly, and her expression seemed to be frozen on her face.

All kinds of shock, worry, luck and other emotions seem to be intertwined and changed in subtle amplitudes that are extremely difficult to detect.

There was a silence in the room, and the curtain hung quietly there, without any movement.Chen Xianzhen followed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze and looked at the other side of her ear room. She seemed to have held her breath.

After a long time, Ruan Jingyi lifted the curtain and walked out of the ear room silently.Chen Xianzhen saw that General Ruan was indeed Ruan Jingyi, and her cheeks twitched slightly.

Eunuchs Cao Fu and Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything anymore.

Zhu Gaoxu just observed silently, as if the Sui Dynasty and the Taoist priest, nearly a thousand years ago, mixed all kinds of things together and turned them into the initial gunpowder, then ignited them, observing and waiting for unknown results.

Four people stood in this quiet house, silence filled the space.Ruan Jingyi took the lead in breaking the silence, but he spoke Annan dialect, which Zhu Gaoxu couldn't understand.

At this time, the eunuch Cao Fu reminded: You all speak Chinese?

Ruan Jingyi looked at Chen Xianzhen and said in Chinese: Why did you frame me?

Chen Xianzhen sneered, her expression seemed to be crying and laughing: How could it be framed?At the time in Qinghua, you didn’t have much contact with Lili?

Ruan Jingyi said: Are you the same? What's more, Li Li also defected to the general of Emperor Chongguang (Chen Jikuo). He was stunned for a moment and asked again: Why do you want to harm me? What's wrong with me?

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he wanted to know the answer, so he carefully observed Chen Xianzhen's expression.

Chen Xian's face was really bloodless, filled with extreme anger that everyone was completely incomprehensible: You are alive, it's a problem for me!We should all die!

Ruan Jingyi sighed and said: Chen Xianzhen, you still don’t understand my heart.Although I surrendered to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I have never said half of the words that are against you.Back then, I was implicated in order to save you, but did you still not trust me?

Cao Fuxing gloated and said: Oh, you two still have a relationship!Ruan Jingyi, the emperor treats you generously and generously, so you can't hide it.Why don't you tell me in detail?

Ruan Jingyi smiled bitterly and kept shaking his head and said: It's not considered a private relationship, it's just wishful thinking.

He then told the old story, how he knew Chen Xianzhen and how he admired her when he was a teenager.

How did he save Chen Xianzhen during the reign of Emperor Jian Ding (who became emperor before Chen Jikuo)? Emperor Jian Ding's empress dowager wanted to kill Chen Xianzhen. After Ruan Jingyi, who was the then guard general of the palace, rebelled, it caused political turmoil and his father died in it.

Zhu Gaoxu just listened carefully and didn't say much.

Cao Fu looked carefully at Zhu Gaoxu, and then looked up and down at Ruan Jingyi, who was black and thin and often listless. It was impossible to tell that General Ruan was still a love-in-law.

Chen Xianzhen's face was red, bloodshot appeared in her eyes, and the water of tears flashed. Her voice was very loud, as if she was crazy: Who told you to save me?Do you think you can control me this way, and I have to repay you with my whole life!Do you just think about it and make me feel that I am a sinner and I can’t pay you back in my three lives; do you just think about it and see that I’m worse than death in my guilt and self-blame?I tell you, I think beautifully!I can only regret that I shouldn’t have accepted your favor, so you might as well kill me and take back the debt!

While cursing, she cried with tears on her face and pointed at Ruan Jing and said strangely. Everyone in the Chen family thinks that I owe you and think I am not a human being. Are you satisfied?Ruan Jingyi!But do you know how much I hate you?It’s not because you are ugly, but because you hate your temperament. I feel depressed and breathless by your side, without any laughter, just like an endless abyss.I hate you...

Ruan Jingyi was stiff and stood there, murmured: You just don’t know how to be grateful, but I really don’t know that it will become like this.

Chen Xianzhen ignored the truth and squatted on the ground, only crying there, which was heartbroken.

Zhu Gaoxu finally spoke: General Ruan is a little open, there are some things that cannot be forced.

Ruan Jingyi said: At that time, I was young...young.

He said it twice without any reason, "Young ignorance."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, approving his reason.

Ruan Jingyi glanced at Chen Xianzhen on the ground, and he sneered, his face as if he was drunk: It was just that he was too impulsive when he was young, but in fact, I felt it was not worth it later.But she has paid such a great price and has put too much in her for many years and can't bear to destroy it.

Before, in order to serve Chen Jikuo, she had to go to Beijing to lure the emperor; then I was discouraged. I thought she was an ordinary person like "Mrs. Erzheng". Now it seems that she was afraid she was deliberately taking revenge on me!Then I still helped her many times, but it was just a habit and I couldn't go back...

Hahaha... Ruan Jingyi suddenly raised his head and laughed. It's great, so good.After he said that, he kept laughing.

Cao Fu kindly asked: General Ruan, are you okay?

Ruan Jingyi gasped, and his laughter finally calmed down. He shook his head and said: It's okay, I really feel very...it's very comfortable.I won't lie to you.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered Duan Xueheng and thought to himself: Is it really a pleasure to abuse yourself?

However, Ruan Jingyi continued: Really, if you are abandoned by everyone, you can feel that the world is open and there is a kind of happiness without taboos. In the past, I was always bound by the country's righteousness and moral grievances, and I lived a nervous and nervous life. Emperor Chongguang, Ruan Shuai and many others who raised the army together died, and only I surrendered and survived. But now it seems that there is nothing scary about this? People in the world are sorry for me, why should I be worthy of whom!

The room became cold again, Ruan Jingyi stopped laughing, and Chen Xianzhen stopped crying.

After a long time, Cao Fu pointed at Chen Xianzhen and asked: Chen Xianzhen, what kind of heart do you have when you go to Beijing this time? you……

Cao Fu!Zhu Gaoxu suddenly interrupted him.

Cao Fu hurriedly stopped and bowed to please him: I am here.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Don’t pursue it anymore.

Cao Fu hurriedly advised: But Emperor, Chen Xian is really suspicious. Why would he send her to the imperial prison and torture her?

Zhu Gaoxu said: No need.Zhang Fu is a good general.

Cao Fu looked confused.

Zhu Gaoxu also felt that he had not made it clear, so he said again: I believe that Zhang Fu was just an unintentional mistake. But because Zhang Fu made many enemies in the court, some people don’t care about what he is thinking, they just think this is a good opportunity to turn Zhang off.

If Chen Xianzhen's plot to assassinate was caused, some people would definitely want to take the opportunity to deal with Zhang Fu; if this matter is not done well, it would have to create a big and small political storm.On the surface, the state has its own national laws, at least Zhang Fu's crime of misunderstanding, even I cannot excuse him.

After hearing this, Cao Fu suddenly said: The emperor is wise!

Chen Xianzhen looked at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise: Why is the emperor suspicious? I am an assassin?

Otherwise?Zhu Gaoxu said innocently.

Chen Xianzhen finally calmed down a lot. She calmly asked: What evidence does the priest have? At least it has to have reasonable inferences?

Zhu Gaoxu said: This place is not a judicial yamen, why should we talk about evidence and reason?

However, Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt that Chen Xianzhen seemed to be saying something reasonable.

As soon as Chen Xianzhen entered Beijing, he did nothing; he did not say anything without any evidence, and he didn't even have a set of logical reasoning.

Zhu Gaoxu convicted her, which seemed a bit too much.

But Zhu Gaoxu did not want to betray her, but a kind of intuition that he developed through various signs.There must be reasons to come to such a conclusion, but he cannot make a rigorous argument at present.

Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to change his mind, so he said to Cao Fu: Take the Jinyiwei and send Chen Xianzhen to Fengyang first.

Chen Xianzhen stared at Zhu Gaoxu angrily: Why do you... despise others so much? Should you be noble and consider Annan people so lowly?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to argue with her, but she mentioned Annan people and immediately raised the matter to a political level.

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to say: Nobleness and lowliness are really an eternal proposition.You can say that I despise you, but you can't say that I discriminate against Annan people.

He glanced at Ruan Jingyi and said: The Annan people, including the Yao, Yi, Miao, etc. in Annan, have similar races to us, and they cannot reach the level of discrimination at all.And the "small things are big" and "survival in the cracks" between countries is an order and strategy. If you don't get to that position, don't worry about those things.

Chen Xianzhen said coldly: Invasion and robbery, the emperor's words are so light.

Cao Fu scolded: Chen Xianzhen, how dare you speak to the emperor like this?

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and signaled Cao Fu not to worry about it. He then said: Cao Fu, take Ruan Jingyi back and rest.

The two thanked each other and said they were leaving.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu said to Chen Xianzhen: You are a person who is prone to being kidnapped and responsible. If you really have no desire to bear it, then others will not see hope for reward from you; and how can you not let go of what others impose on you?

I heard you mention "Mrs. Erzheng" in your words.Chen Xianzhen, can a woman like you really bear the responsibility of the country?There are only three things in this world: yours, mine, and God's affairs.If you have not enjoyed God-like power and extravagance, why should you bear the responsibility of God? Why bother?

Chen Xianzhen stared at Zhu Gaoxu in despair: You are such a cold-blooded and ruthless person!

Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the top, looked out from the window, raised his arms and made a gesture: What about?Do you want to see me, and you are as chaotic and collapsed as you do?

Chen Xianzhen said again: You always insult me!I was convicted of death for no reason!

Zhu Gaoxu didn't need to defend these questions anymore. He walked to the window and looked outside and took a few deep breaths.

After a while, he suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Xianzhen.

Chen Xianzhen looked surprised, as if she didn't expect that Zhu Gaoxu, who thought the arrogant, would pay attention to her again.

Zhu Gaoxu said: The regret and guilt imposed on it are actually easy to forgive yourself and can be resolved.The most inescapable thing is actually to commit suicide (gambling).
