My eunuch An is a yandere

Chapter 103 The So-called Right Track

Seeing the emperor's procession walking away, the director of the Imperial Observatory felt his legs go weak and he knew he was finished.

I really didn't expect that his words "Mars guarding the heart" would lead to such a result. He is a fifth-rank civil servant with no real power. How can he deal with the anger from the major families?

Qi Yan was secretly resentful but had no way to deal with it. The emperor had gone to the harem and he had lost the best opportunity to confess everything. He had no idea how things would develop next.

When Xiao Duo rushed to Kunning Palace, the first person he saw was Bai Ningwei, who was standing in the palace in a purple palace dress, with a cold expression and a stagnant aura.

This was the Bai Ningwei he had never seen in his two lifetimes. She was filled with endless aloofness, like a warrior about to step into the battlefield, her determination making people's hearts tremble.

Amidst everyone's cheers, Bai Ningwei and An Jiu's eyes met, then she looked away without a ripple. She didn't stand up with the others, but confessed her guilt directly.

"I am useless. I assisted in managing the six palaces but failed to manage the words and actions of the harem, which led to the palace search scandal. Today, I was unable to control the situation immediately, causing the Queen Mother to be disturbed."

Bai Ningwei took the blame, just to let Xiao Duo know that she had flaws in managing the harem and was incompetent. If the Marquis of Zhenbei later claimed that everything that happened in the former court today was her fault, Xiao Duo would not believe it.

Empress Dowager Feng also realized that she had made things worse, making it difficult for the emperor to deal with the aftermath. However, she could not admit her mistake and directly put all the blame on herself.

"Don't blame Concubine De. Your Majesty, take a look at what filthy things your concubines have hidden. I have dealt with the most despicable ones for you, and I leave the rest to you."

Xiao Duo looked at the table full of forbidden palace items, each one aimed at his own lifespan. His already volatile temper was further fueled, and he walked over, overturned the Eight Immortals Table, and cursed at all the concubines.

"Bitch!"

Then he couldn't hold it back any longer and vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, at this time everyone knelt down and acted like quails because of his anger. Only Bai Ningwei and Empress Dowager Feng saw this scene.

Before Empress Dowager Feng could exclaim in surprise, Bai Ningwei quickly stood up, caught Xiao Duo, and pressed her handkerchief to his mouth.

An Jiu looked at the hem of the skirt in front of him. He looked up and saw the emperor holding Bai Ningwei's arm tightly with one hand and pressing the other hand on the hand that was wiping him. Emotions were surging in his eyes, and in the end, he could only lower his head again.

He couldn't stand seeing the two of them together anymore. Even if there was no romance between them, the very thought of it was enough to make him jealous beyond recognition. He couldn't understand why the emperor had to have three harems and six courtyards, even though he hadn't seen many children.

No one knew An Jiu's thoughts. Bai Ningwei helped Xiao Duo sit on the stepping stone. Very pleased with her thoughtful gesture, Xiao Duo patted the back of her hand, indicating that he approved of her handling of the matter and would not vent his anger on her.

Xiao Duo was exhausted at this moment, as if a huge rock was pressing on him. Even breathing became difficult. He just wanted to summon the imperial physician quickly, so he hastily ended the farce in Kunning Palace.

All the concubines who violated the rules were not allowed to leave without being summoned. The two most serious ones were banished to the cold palace. After driving away these concubines, he could no longer hold on and passed out.

Because Xiao Duo was with Empress Dowager Feng, he announced to the outside world that the Empress Dowager was ill, but in fact, Xiao Duo's time was up.

After taking the pulse, the court administrator knelt on the ground, unable to speak. He had hinted to the emperor, but the emperor would not listen, taking the elixir as if it were an elixir of immortality. Now he only had a few months left to live. But he didn't dare to speak the truth, only to say that today was a very dangerous day.

"Nonsense, it was fine before, how come it suddenly became dangerous?"

Empress Dowager Feng looked incredulous.

Everyone was sent away. Apart from the Empress Dowager and the Dean, only Bai Ningwei, An Jiu, and Nanny Liang were present.

The director of the hospital is not stupid. He has asked everything he should know on the way here.

"Your Majesty was originally in good health, but has been feeling a little weak recently. Today, he was shocked and angry, and his temper was so intense that it seemed like he was having a stroke. If he rested and took some rest, he might be able to recover somewhat. However..."

Before the director of the court finished speaking, Bai Ningwei understood. A stroke is like a time bomb, ready to go off at any moment. Not to mention that today's incident hasn't been resolved yet, as long as the crown prince isn't appointed, there will be more trouble. How can the emperor rest in peace?

The director of the hospital is also a talented person. He has laid so many foundations, isn't it just so that he can get away with it safely if the scandal explodes one day?

Empress Dowager Feng didn't care about all these twists and turns. She only cared about whether her son could be raised well. The director naturally couldn't guarantee it. Xiao Duo also woke up slowly at this time.

Hearing that his body seemed to be at the end of its strength, he accepted it without difficulty. He just asked everyone to keep it a secret. After taking the medicine, he pretended nothing had happened and went back.

Just as Bai Ningwei thought, Xiao Duo continued to investigate the matter of the nail after returning. Before he could deal with the secret agent he had caught, he received the news that the director of the Imperial Observatory committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

The director of the Imperial Observatory left a suicide note, saying only that he had been bewitched and accepted money to do things. As for who he had accepted the money from, he did not mention it at all, and the clues were effectively cut off from him.

The Supervisor's action saved his family, but it made Xiao Duo furious again. He punished a group of officials and even called in the Marquis of Zhenbei to give him a severe reprimand.

The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't know how to start at this point. The director of the Imperial Observatory was dead, and it would be foolish for him to confess again. However, Bai Ningwei escaped unscathed from this matter, while almost all the nails he had cultivated in the palace for many years were pulled out by the people of Yanwuwei. Comparing the two, he was even more secretly resentful.

However, what he could not have imagined was yet to come. Two days later, Xiao Fu caught a cold due to the late spring cold, and became mute after he recovered.

Qi Yan looked at his speechless nephew and felt as if the sky had fallen. He collapsed and grabbed the doctor, shouting at him to blame.

"Why is this happening? Why can't the eldest prince speak? Are you all good-for-nothings?"

The imperial physician was hesitant and no matter how he tried to explain that this was the emperor's intention, he was just following orders.

However, the imperial physician did not have to worry for too long. After returning home that day, he slipped and fell into the lotus pond and drowned.

As incidents continued to occur in the palace, Xiao Duo's attendants were terrified and felt threatened. A sense of impending disaster gripped everyone, and no one knew who would be the next unlucky person.

When Xiao Duo learned that the eldest prince was mute, he was painting. Without even raising his head, he replied lightly, "I understand."

Xiao Duo sighed, feeling that he had finally put things right and restored all the major events of his previous life to normal.

The second prince was gone after all, and the eldest prince was destined to be disabled. He followed the will of heaven, and even if his life span could not return to his previous life, it should not be only a month or so.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Half a month later, Xiao Duo continued to take the pills and finally suffered a stroke late one night. Bai Ningwei, who was settling a score with An Jiu, was urgently summoned.
