Chapter 144: The Hidden Prime Minister

Previous Chapter

Now that they are ready to check people, then it is time to prepare well, Bihai Palace has arranged for people to stare at everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion all day long, and even sometimes the three of Yan Yi also take turns to stare at people. It can be seen that everyone is preparing to eradicate the biggest cancer of the imperial court in one fell swoop in this operation.

The information of the old eunuch in the palace has been sent to Xiao Xi's hands, and she has already browsed it all when she was in the palace, and there is nothing suspicious, at least there is no problem when serving He Yi outside the palace, as for whether there is any problem after he follows He Yi to the palace, it depends on what Yan Shu has found out.

Xiao Xi handed the things in his hand to Yan Shu, "I've looked at it carefully, it's really hard to find some problems, what about you here?" ”。 Yan Shu also took out some things in her hand and handed them to Xiao Xi. "I think the key is to find out what happened during the time when the queen mother died. According to our previous materials, many of the maids and eunuchs around the queen mother chose to follow the two emperors after the death of the queen mother. Many people went to the temple. But why has this one never had a long record of leaving the palace? ”

It's very simple, that is, he has never left the palace, and the chief eunuch beside the queen did not leave the palace with the queen's two sons, but has been waiting for the two princes to come back with the palace peace, and then became the chief eunuch of the entire palace, which is not ordinary!

"After the emperor and the two left the palace, where did this eunuch take office?" Xiao Xi looked at the things in her hand. "In the Yilan Palace." Yan Shu looked around at the palace they were in now. "Yilan Palace, in this way, no one knows about this chief eunuch, what he was doing during that time, no one knows?"

Yan Shu nodded, and also felt a little headache, they were not afraid of how much this person had done, and they didn't care how long the time was, they were afraid that there was no one around this person who had too much contact with him, so it would be difficult to check, because there was no entry point at all.

Yan Shu took another booklet and handed it to Xiao Xi: "Palace master, this is some of the personnel records recorded in the palace, this is the morning of the day, people come and go, there were a lot of women in the harem back then, and they summoned their brothers or something to enter the palace to meet or something, it's really not too much, it's really troublesome for us to investigate!" ”

That's true, Xiao Xi felt a headache when she opened this stack of books, but no matter how difficult all this was in front of her, everyone had to check it. Then if this difficult and difficult life is to be handed over to our Bihai Palace.

So in the next few days, Yan Yi and a few people dressed up as eunuchs and palace maids, and entered the palace every day to help Xiaoxi flip through the record books in the palace, and they were already blind. The record book in the palace can't be taken out of the palace, so you can only bring people to read it every day, but the people in the palace can't believe it, so you can only bring your own people. This is a pain for these landlords!

After working hard for a long time, I finally found a clue in the past few days, and the prime minister also has the habit of entering the harem regularly, sometimes you can check the entry and exit records in some palaces, but sometimes you can't match anything. A former courtier, entering the harem is just to see the children in the family, or the sister or something. There is only a record of entering the harem palace, but there is no record of the specific whereabouts, which is really suspicious.

In the entire harem, there is no specific record of the whereabouts at all, then there is only Yilan Palace. There are no concubines living in the Yilan Palace, so there are not too many people who make specific records. This suspicion naturally doesn't mean anything, but everyone has a direction of suspicion, so you can keep checking in this direction, which is better than having no clue.

But whoever has done bad things can always leave clues, this prime minister, this old eunuch. They're sure to get the hang of it!

"If Lan Qiong knew that the old eunuch who had been with him and his mother all the time secretly colluded with the prime minister and betrayed him. He's going to die of grief, and I don't want us to find out anything······" Yan Shu was very embarrassed, and threw the booklet in her hand on the desk on the side.

If this matter is waited for the two Lan Jing brothers to come back, no one will be happy to tell anyone. From the moment He Yi decided to marry the first emperor, the He family reused this young eunuch who came to the He family from the palace. He has also been with He Yi and Lan Qiong all the way until today. This affection is naturally very deep, but it should be heart-wrenching that should be betrayed by a credible person.

However, even if it's a pity, you have to look it up······

The prime minister has always been in the court, and he has always supported the emperor and the two Lan Jing brothers. Along the way, the prime minister is one of the few people who adheres to neutrality, so after Lan Qiong ascended the throne, he did not take action to rectify it, even if many of them have undergone a major blood change, but the prime minister's line has not changed.

In the past, everyone always said: The emperor is really a lucky person, the prime minister and the general are honest people, and they accompany each other all the way. It is precisely with the support of these two that the emperor can have such a smooth and smooth journey along the way.

Now it seems that these words are about to come to naught, the prime minister is not as simple as he imagined, but an extremely hidden person.

After a period of investigation, Xiaoxi got some things that made her jaw drop. The prime minister's wife, mother, and the old eunuch are fellow villagers, and they both come out of the same place, which is really a thing worth pondering.

Yan Yi looked at the palace master who fell silent, and said an even more exciting news: the old eunuch had some relationship with the prime minister's mother-in-law in his early years, and the old eunuch's father was a subordinate of the prime minister's mother-in-law's family. I think that if I look at it this way, maybe the old eunuch entered the palace at the beginning, and finally followed the former queen by his side, which was arranged by the prime minister······

Xiao Xi could only raise his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "It seems that our Prime Minister is really hidden, he may not be upright, nor has he always remained neutral, but he is relatively smart and has stood in the right position from the beginning." ”

Smart people are just different from others, and they have already planned to the end. So today, it seems that everything is pushed behind the back by the prime minister, and the driving force behind everything is the prime minister. The best breakthrough at the moment is the old eunuch, a seemingly loyal one, but in fact has always been the eyeliner of others.

Xiao Xi entered the palace immediately, and after finding Yan Shu, he led the old eunuch into the Yilan Palace. The old eunuch didn't notice anything, and Yan Jia closed the door after everyone walked in.

At that moment, the old eunuch suddenly stood up and looked at the two ladies in front of him who were smiling strangely.
