Ruipeng raised his head when he heard this, his eyes full of confusion.

He frowned and began to try to recall every detail from before.

But he told Zuo Qiyang frankly everything that should be said, why did Zuo Qiyang still throw such a question at this moment?

"It was the emperor who sent someone to check whether the letter was missing, but the little eunuch who raised the falcon planted the blame on the adult's head, I couldn't get angry, and I argued with him......"

Ruipeng muttered and repeated the previous words, but he still couldn't see through the mystery in this.

Zuo Qiyang sighed when he saw this.

As a subordinate, he is quite sincere, but why has he followed him for so many years, but he still doesn't care about some things at all.

"That official said that there was a problem with Yan Wuxing's letter to the emperor? That Yan Wudaunt is far away in Longwei Valley, and he hasn't been back since the last time the queen held a birthday banquet, even if his letters are less, how does the emperor know now? It's just a few letters from home, presumably they are all inconsequential trivialities, and even if they are lost, they will definitely not ask someone to ask, is it possible that the emperor calculated that the letter was lost by signing the hexagram? Then why can't he figure out how he lost it, and still send someone to investigate secretly?

"If the letter is a military secret, to the point that Yan Wuxing needs to specially confirm with the emperor, then he will definitely follow the path of his own army, and he will not use these communication tools used by the palace at all, and the so-called official sent by the emperor will have no reason to check whether there is something wrong with the royal falcon.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that you haven't figured out what the position of the so-called official is, what his surname is, right?"

Ruipeng's back was soaked when he heard this, and he spoke after a long time: "My lord...... Do you suspect that the official acted on his own under the pretense of the emperor? This doesn't make sense at all, obviously the emperor personally summoned me later......"

Zuo Qiyang saw that he had already mentioned that Ruipeng was still going to guess on the fork in the road, and he was a little discouraged, but after thinking about it, with the position he was in, it was impossible to look at the overall situation like himself, even if he saw it clearly, I was afraid that he didn't have the courage to guess, so he understood Ruipeng's pain a little, and his expression eased up.

"I'm not saying that the official pretended to be holy, and he didn't have the guts. This entire palace belongs to the emperor, how dare he mess around under the emperor's nose under his name, this is not looking for death? Zuo Qiyang patiently explained.

Ruipeng's brows furrowed tightly, pondering and meditating.

In this way, this official's approach does not make sense, since he is under the holy order, then why should he bother in his own identity? And the man was very face-to-face, and I had never seen him in the palace before...... Could it be that the emperor specially appointed a local official from outside the palace in order to check these letters? ”

Zuo Qiyang listened to Ruipeng's words, and finally showed a look of relief, but still did not forget to remind on the side: "People with a little power in the palace will secretly raise a group of their own people, as a hole card to save their lives, not to mention the emperor, it is easy for him to pull someone out temporarily, and there is no need to go to the palace to find it at all."

"The point is, why can't this person see the light?"

Ruipeng bowed his head and said nothing.

Zuo Qiyang didn't break it directly, he just thought about it.

He is about to leave the Forbidden Palace and go to Gaoxiang Town, and he wants to hand over the news in this palace to Ruipeng, so that he can become the first hidden pile he has laid in the Xijing Forbidden Palace, so now he must use this limited time to adapt to the conspiracy and conspiracy in the palace and everyone's way of acting, otherwise he is afraid that he will leave with his front foot, and Ruipeng will be kicked out by the emperor with his back foot.

"Think about it, the little eunuch who raised the falcon, there is nothing unusual about him?" Zuo Qiyang tried to remind.

Ruipeng followed Zuo Qiyang's train of thought and tried to recall, and then said: "There is no problem with his identity, since I followed you into the palace on an errand, he was responsible for raising those eagle falcons that sent letters...... But speaking of which, his attitude was very strange, first the official asked, he insisted that it was your side that had a problem, and then I argued with him, and he did not back down at all, completely fearless......

"I thought it was strange at the time, why didn't I dare to say that I had such confidence as him after working under you for so many years, where did he get the courage to be a little eunuch at the bottom...... Could it be that behind his back...... Or is it ...... from the beginning?"

Ruipeng's mind was spinning rapidly, his thoughts were written on his face, first he suddenly became enlightened, then he became shocked, and then he was sad and angry, clenched his fists, bit his lip and looked up at Zuo Qiyang, like a child who had been greatly wronged, his eyes were red.

"My lord......" Ruipeng choked, "I was confused, I dragged you into the water."

"But I really didn't expect that the impostor official and the little eunuch would collude to trick me, and they would set up a game together to deceive me and ask me to help them collect your evidence. I was so stupid that I really obediently watched you for them, and finally sent me the secret letter of your contact with Dongyuan......"

Thinking of this, Ruipeng smashed his fist on the ground with hatred, and blood immediately oozed from his hand, but his heart became even more indignant, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... How could he use such a deplorable deed? He's the king of a country! ”

Zuo Qiyang shook his head, glanced outside the door, and made sure that there was no one there, and then he spoke: "Tang Yinbrown had an accident in Jiamen Pass, and accidentally killed Zhu Huishu, the king of Qi, and the pattern of the Dongyuan court was disrupted and completely reshuffled. Now King Xin alone dominates the Dongyuan court inside and outside, and he is no different from the emperor.

"In this case, I used to be Zhu Ciyi's most powerful henchman and turned to the west, even if I myself have already broken off with the eastern royal family, I can't stand Emperor Yan's suspicion on my head."

When Zuo Qiyang said this, he smiled helplessly, and said: "When I first noticed the abnormality, I was still a little resentful and suspicious of Emperor Yan, but as the king of a country, I didn't have the mind that an emperor should have. But now that I look back and think about it, if I sit in his seat, I just heard from afar that Zhu Ciyi's actions in the east have been so frightened that I can't sleep, but there is a person with an embarrassing identity like me by his side all day long, so that he can think of the person in the east when he sees my face all the time, he doesn't want to put me to death but just sends him out, it is already extremely forgiving, what else do I have to complain about? ”

After that, he stepped forward to help Ruipeng and said, "As for you, you don't have to blame yourself." The emperor wants me to go, and it is already a thought rooted in his heart, even if there is no such thing as you, he can still find other reasons to drive me out. Now because of you, I left, but I gave you a chance to stay with the emperor, which can be said to be the best result I can think of now. (To be continued.) )
