Ye Jingchen was extremely satisfied.

He tried to pat Chenxi's shoulder on tiptoe, but he was too short and Chenxi was too tall. Seeing him stand on tiptoe and raise his hand, the wooden man didn't even bother to bend down. Ye Jingchen had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw his hand and walk away a few steps.

But Chenxi followed him and handed him a thick stack of papers.

"Is this... what I want?" Ye Jingchen asked excitedly.

"yes!"

Ye Jingchen took it, sat down at the desk, and immediately began to read it.

Perhaps it's because of the novel's world, but although it's a feudal dynasty, the characters here are simplified, no different from modern ones. Fortunately, they are simplified characters, otherwise Ye Jingchen would probably be illiterate.

This stack of papers, from top to bottom, meticulously records the names, positions, duties, and origins of all the palace servants in the Eastern Palace.

Especially regarding their background, they actually dug up information about their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Although there is only one master in the Eastern Palace, there are hundreds of palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in the palace.

With so many people involved, it's impossible for everyone to be innocent.

The original owner was young and had not yet had time to cultivate his own confidants. A small portion of the people in the Eastern Palace were old people left behind by the late empress, most of whom were carefully selected by the emperor. Others included people placed in by the concubines of various palaces, princes, noble families, and important officials of the court, but these people were generally just peripheral figures.

Of course, these are all things that the secret guards can investigate. There must be some palace servants who are so well hidden that even the secret guards cannot find them.

Chenxi had always believed that the Eastern Palace was impregnable, but after seeing this information, he fell silent.

Moreover, the reason why the investigation into everyone in the Eastern Palace was so extensive was because the Crown Prince suspected that there was something fishy about his drowning. Chenxi didn't take it seriously at first, but after the investigation, she did find out some things.
