However, after investigation, he found that among the eunuchs in the palace, there were only one or two who were ordered out of the palace by the harem empress to purchase.

None of the other eunuchs have ever left the palace.

The palace was heavily guarded, and it was not easy for a eunuch to leave the palace without a warrant.

Not to mention the situation where several people went out as soon as they left the palace.

So this basically confirms that the eunuchs Xiao Huanghua saw who sent the children's bodies to the mountains to dig up and bury them were not from the palace, but were raised privately by someone outside the palace!

"This is quite strange. It is a last resort for men to purify themselves and enter the palace. Why are there still men willing to purify themselves outside the palace?

And from what Tu'er said, there were five or six eunuchs in her dream!

It seems that the person behind the scenes either wants to usurp the throne or has a special hobby!"

What the emperor said was profound.

The prince cupped his hand and said, "Father is right. Now we can be sure that there are families raising eunuchs outside the palace, and they treat eunuchs as servants. So we only need to find families raising eunuchs at home.

It’s basically certain, after all, not many people have such a hobby.”

"Well, so let's go find the families with eunuchs in their homes. Regardless of whether there are eunuchs in the common people's homes, this time we'll start by searching the homes of these ministers in the capital."

After the emperor finished speaking, he gave an oral instruction to the prince simply.

"It's still early. Prince, please take your guards and search the ministers' houses to see if there are any eunuchs."

The prince raised his hand and said, "Yes, I obey your orders! But father, do I need to take my imperial sister with me?"

Somehow, the prince felt that if Bai Tutu went with him, he would be more likely to find the real culprit behind the scenes!

But this time, the emperor refused.

"This time you and Shi Yan can go with the guards. Tu'er should be quite tired already, so don't wake her up."

Prince:.

He should be the one who feels tired, right?

He had been holding that little girl in his arms all morning!

My arms are sore!

How could that little girl sleep?!

Is it really because this is my father’s preference?!

The prince cursed in his heart, but did not dare to say anything, so he had no choice but to agree.

Following the emperor's instructions, the prince directly took Shi Yan and the secret guards to search the mansions of the ministers in the capital.

There are obvious differences in appearance between eunuchs and normal men.

Even if they are disguised, they can still be identified.

The prince was originally very confident that there should be only one family of officials raising eunuchs in the palace.

But he and Shi Yan searched from noon to nightfall, and suddenly found that there was more than one eunuch official in the mansion!

A quick look shows that at least three officials have eunuch servants in their mansions!

When the prince returned to the palace and told the news to the emperor, even the emperor was surprised.

According to the emperor's perception, the use of eunuchs as servants in the palace was either because he had special hobbies or because he was ambitious and wanted to try what it was like to be served by an eunuch!

After all, the only place where eunuchs are used to serve people is the palace!

Of those three officials, if one has a hobby, then the other two must be ambitious!

A dark light flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"Prince, which three officials are they?"

The prince cupped his hands and said, "Replying to my father, I am the Minister of Rites, the Prime Minister and the Minister of War."

"Oh? There is actually a Prime Minister among them!"
