My eunuch An is a yandere

When she stood outside the hall, Bai Ningwei saw that Xiao Qi was also dressed neatly and was carried out by Nanny Qin.

"His Majesty said to take the Third Prince with him."

After Hezi finished adding in a low voice, Bai Ningwei had something in mind, her face became a little more solemn, and she carried Xiao Qi into the sedan chair, shaking all the way to the Shenlong Palace.

The Shenlong Hall was brightly lit at this moment. The ministers waiting outside were all familiar to Bai Ningwei from her previous life. The palace gates were already locked, and their presence indicated that the situation was extremely urgent.

When Bai Ningwei appeared holding Xiao Qi, everyone nodded slightly in tacit understanding, and a kind of tacit agreement was formed.

Wang Xi stood guard at the door of the bedroom and saluted Bai Ningwei.

"Please wait a moment, Empress Defei. You will be here soon as Prince Jing comes out."

"Your Majesty, he..."

"It's a last gasp of light."

Wang Xi leaned in and whispered, "In fact, Xiao Duo's coma time has been getting longer and longer these days, and several ministers are very worried that he will die in his sleep." Fortunately, Xiao Duo woke up and was able to make final arrangements for his funeral.

After a while, King Jing came out. Unlike the others, he frowned slightly when he saw Bai Ningwei, and politely and distantly made way for her to enter.

On the bed, Xiao Duo leaned on the thick cushions, watching Bai Ningwei and Xiao Qi getting closer and closer.

Xiao Qi loved his father deeply. Whenever he saw someone, he would obediently call out "Father."

Xiao Duo rubbed his head and reluctantly let him go. When he and Bai Ningwei were alone in the hall, Xiao Duo looked at the woman in front of him, his mind full of thoughts.

"Defei, when did you come back?"

Bai Ningwei was shocked, not knowing whether Xiao Duo really knew something or was just lying to her.

"Don't worry, I don't mean any other things. I messed up in this life, and I just want to have a final word with my old friend."

"How did your Majesty know?"

"I've been feeling drowsy these past few days, and I keep dreaming about the day of the grand court meeting, when you were wearing a purple palace dress with wide sleeves. You didn't have the aura of a concubine that day."

So that's how it was. That day, she had prepared for the worst, naturally, to lose the fight but not the battle. Perhaps because of their different focus, in An Jiu's eyes, she was incredibly beautiful, like a flower from the heights of a mountain, but in Xiao Duo's eyes, she made him suspicious.

"I want to hear the truth from you. What have you done in your life again?"

Bai Ningwei walked to the head of Xiao Duo's bed and helped him adjust the cushion that had slipped off, her voice calm.

"Your Majesty, not everyone wants to make amends when given a second chance. And isn't Your Majesty well aware of what I did and didn't do?"

Xiao Duo closed his eyes. He had to admit that Bai Ningwei was different from others.

"You don't hate Huo Lou?"

Bai Ningwei met Xiao Duo's suspicious gaze and could only shake her head.

She didn't really hate Huo Lou. In the final analysis, she was too naive and irresponsible, thinking that she could rule the country with her identity as a time traveler. After failure and frustration, she thought that with the help of Huo Lou, she could leave behind the mess she had created and run away.

A failed ruler who refused to take responsibility for the consequences deserved the outcome she faced. Even if Huo Lou hadn't been around, there would have been others who wanted to get rid of her.

"After two lifetimes, I still can't see through you."

"Perhaps it's because your Majesty and I have different ideals."

"Ideal? That's a good word. So what is your ideal?"

Xiao Duo was very curious and actually spent his last time talking to Bai Ningwei about her ideals.

“I just want to make life better.”

How could she explain that she simply wanted to return to the home she could never return to, and so she wanted to make this world closer to the one she knew. It was like someone used to eating fine grains couldn't get used to bran, but despite all her efforts, nothing worked as she wished.

"You're not telling the truth."

Xiao Duo took a deep breath; his time was running out. His pride as a man made him want Bai Ningwei to laugh at him for all his messing around in this life, for living a worse life than his last.

So he wanted to suppress her and ridicule her.

"Unfortunately, what you want to do is doomed to fail. No matter how many times you try again, you will fail."

"Even if I fail, I will still do it. With such a position, I would be unwilling to not do something."

Hearing her say this, Xiao Duo's voice involuntarily rose and became a little angry.

"Even if you know you will fail, you still want to do it?"

"Even though I know I will fail, I'm going to fail in a different way this time."

These words hurt Xiao Duo's heart. He started coughing violently, staring at Bai Ningwei with a ferocious face, and uttered curses intermittently.

"You're really stubborn... You'll fail, just like me... You can't win..."

Bai Ningwei shook her head in confusion. She should have called the imperial physician, but he kept cursing her, which would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble for others. So Bai Ningwei just pretended to be busy and handed him some water to calm him down.

She didn't understand why Xiao Duo had to decide who won and who lost at this moment. Covering up one's own shortcomings through the failures of others would only lead to false satisfaction and would not solve any fundamental problems.

But he was about to die, so she just regarded his curses as a bunch of nonsense and there was no need to bother with him.

Seeing Xiao Duo barely breathing after a coughing fit, Bai Ningwei softened her heart and planned to ask other people to come in and meet him again.

But Xiao Duo started talking.

"It's not over yet... Concubine De, I will watch you... completely defeated... Next time, I will..."

She didn't like hearing this.

Bai Ningwei placed her handkerchief directly on Xiao Duo's lips, with an unshakable determination flashing in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, you must ascend to heaven soon. I will have a high monk chant sutras and perform rituals for you, so that your soul will not be bound by worldly things, and there will be no next time between us."

She was very unhappy when she thought about Xiao Duo monitoring her every day in his spirit form. It was like a ghost behind her back. Who could stand it?

Xiao Duo's unfinished words were interrupted like this. Looking at Bai Ningwei with a determined look on her face, he couldn't breathe and his face turned red.

Bai Ningwei knew that the man was really in trouble this time, so she immediately raised her voice.

"Where's the imperial physician? Imperial physician."

Seeing the imperial physician rushing in anxiously, Bai Ningwei found Xiao Qi and held him in her arms.

After a period of chaos, crying sounded. Xiao Qi clung to Bai Ningwei's arms with some fear.

"Mother, mother, why are you crying?"

Touching the wet and cold feeling on her face, Bai Ningwei sighed. After all, they were old friends whom she had known for many years. Parting from each other in life and death always makes people sad.

"Qi'er, your father is gone. He won't be able to visit you anymore."

"what?"

Xiao Qi didn't understand death. Xiao Duo stopped visiting him every day after he turned one. In Xiao Qi's little mind, his father was a very important but not irreplaceable figure.

Hearing that Xiao Duo could no longer visit him, Xiao Qi felt a little depressed. He lowered his head and said "OK", indicating that he would be sensible and not make a fuss.

Seeing Xiao Qi like this, she knew he didn't understand at all. Wiping away her tears, Bai Ningwei dotted them on Xiao Qi's little face and patted his head.

"Go to sleep if you feel sleepy."
