Chapter 896
Chapter 896
"Your Highness, this is not good. Something might have happened!" The man who came was holding Buddhist beads and wearing a black cassock. It was naturally Monk Daoyan.
But at this moment, Monk Daoyan's face was clearly filled with anxiety.
He didn't have the calm, composed, and peaceful look he usually had, and seemed a little confused.
Zhu Di, who was leaning against the armchair, suddenly narrowed his eyes and sat up in a flash, saying in surprise, "Something happened? What happened?"
Monk Daoyan wasn't one to joke, nor was he one to get carried away by trivial matters—what could possibly make him act like this? This inappropriate behavior...
I’m afraid it’s not good!
But Zhu Di pondered over it, and felt that… all previous actions had been carefully planned. There couldn't have been any major flaws that could have led to this. As for Yingtian Prefecture, major incidents had already occurred several times. Even if the person behind Zhu Yunhuan had done something bizarre again, it wouldn't have been this serious…
Monk Daoyan walked in with a solemn expression.
As he closed the study door, he began to speak impatiently in a low voice, "Your Highness, someone below has passed on a message to me. The letter to Yingtian Prefecture was sent out not long ago, and they discovered signs of tampering."
Hear this.
Zhu Di immediately gasped and sighed subconsciously: "The letter was tampered with!? How is this possible!?"
He never thought that this would be the case. After all, he knew too well Monk Daoyan's thoughts, abilities, vigilance, and control over intelligence.
Especially the correspondence with Yingtian Prefecture, as many precautions were taken, so there should be no problems.
"It has indeed been touched."
"And it was definitely tampered with by someone with ulterior motives, because the letter doesn't even look like it's been tampered with."
"This means that the other party only carefully obtained the information inside and did not want to alert my people. So after reading the contents, they also deliberately restored it to its original appearance."
"It's a good thing I've prepared some subtle tricks on the letter ahead of time. The messenger below checked it from time to time, and that's how they realized it had been tampered with. With such caution, the person who tampered with it must be no ordinary person."
Monk Daoyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his face as gloomy as water.
After hearing his detailed description, Zhu Di hesitated and swallowed back all the possible coincidences and accidental guesses he could think of.
After a moment of silence.
He nodded solemnly, "It seems that something serious might happen, but... who could do this? The one from Yingtian Prefecture? Ever since that young Zhu Yunhuan ascended the throne, I have always behaved with respect and humility, and I have always submitted petitions for peace and obedience on time..."
"Besides, the only people he can really use and trust are probably the current Jinyiwei. Not only do Yingtian Prefecture have a lot of people under their noses who are busy keeping an eye on them, but many important matters last year were also delegated to the Jinyiwei..."
"So... that person definitely doesn't have enough energy and manpower to keep a close eye on me." Thinking of this, he shook his head and denied his subconscious thoughts.
In fact, he was not wrong about this.
Didn't Zhu Yunhuan really want to keep a close eye on Zhu Di? However, the information he obtained from Jiang Lin didn't have most of the spies and secret agents in Beiping Prefecture. No matter how powerful the Jinyiwei was, they couldn't cover everything, and they didn't have that many extra people to deploy here, so they could only keep a vigilant eye on the general situation.
Zhu Di's words fell.
Then he heard Monk Daoyan say in approval: "Your Highness is right, so there is only one other possibility." After saying that, his lower eyelids couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Zhu Di's eyes flashed.
I understood immediately.
He took a deep breath and said with almost certainty: "Except for my father, there is no other person who has such motivation and ability..."
