My eunuch An is a yandere

After the emperor passed away, the ministers gathered in the Shenlong Hall, knelt down and cried for a while, and then it was time to recognize the new master.

At this moment, King Jing approached Bai Ningwei and reached out to grab the child.

Anyone who often holds a child knows that, under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot take a child away from a mother's arms. Although King Jing wanted to snatch the child, he was self-assured that he was not a human trafficker, so he naturally did not use much force.

He didn't manage to snatch the child away, but instead frightened Xiao Qi. The tiny person tightly hugged Bai Ningwei's neck and wouldn't let go, almost strangling her to death.

After much difficulty in coaxing this little ancestor, without waiting for Bai Ningwei to go to King Jing to ask the reason, Wang Xi came out with his body bowed and the imperial edict held high.

Everyone stood up immediately, waiting for the order to be announced.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims... Third Prince Qi, born virtuous... Virtuous Consort Bai, exemplifies virtue, and therefore serves behind the curtain..."

(The sentence is correct)

This imperial edict not only established Xiao Qi's status as the new emperor, but also gave Bai Ningwei the power to rule the country from behind the scenes and the names of five ministers who assisted the country.

After the decree was read, even if King Jing was unhappy, he had to take the lead in kneeling down. Moreover, his name was not even among the regent ministers.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the empress dowager."

Bai Ningwei watched the situation change, neither overjoyed nor overwhelmed. She simply adjusted Xiao Qi's direction so that he faced the crowd. She knew that this kneeling was not for her.

But Xiao Qi was too young, and this scene made him feel inexplicably nervous. Even with Bai Ningwei supporting him, his body still couldn't help but lean back, and he wished he could embed himself into his mother's body.

"All the nobles, please stand up."

The five ministers of state saw that the young empress dowager spoke in a steady voice and behaved in a measured manner, and was not flustered by the ministers or even princes kneeling before her, so they looked up to her a little more.

Next, how to arrange Xiao Duo's funeral and what the new emperor should do, these ministers did not deliberately exclude Bai Ningwei from participating when discussing these matters.

Bai Ningwei was familiar with all the steps involved in Xiao Duo's funeral, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner without any problems.

Throughout the entire funeral, Bai Ningwei had only one request, which was for the abbot of the Huguo Temple to recite the Rebirth Mantra more times and give her a few more consecrated ritual instruments to help Xiao Duo transcend his obsession and karma and allow him to reincarnate as soon as possible.

She may not be superstitious about other things, but she has experienced time travel and rebirth, so she strives to be at peace with herself about this matter.

Another person who had the same idea was An Jiu.

He felt unhappy whenever he thought that the emperor might be monitoring his Vivi in ​​the form of a soul.

On the first day of the national mourning, he led his troops to the Huguo Temple and arrested all the monks who were in seclusion meditating, those who were not concerned with worldly affairs, and any prominent monks who did not go to the palace to chant sutras for the emperor, and robbed them one by one.

The beads, whether they were held in the hands, worn on the body, or hung on the body, whether they had 108 beads or 54 beads, no matter what kind of beads they were strung with, were all taken off the monks intact. Alms bowls and bottles, as well as scriptures written by the masters themselves, were also searched from their respective meditation rooms.

If the burial system had not been abolished long ago, An Jiu would not mind taking two more monks to the imperial mausoleum.

Leaving behind a box of silver, Anjiu and his men left. The young monk guarding the mountain gate cried and hugged Anjiu's legs tightly.

"Bad guys! Put down the masters' things. These things have been with the masters for decades and have long become a part of them. They are inseparable."

"Little monk, the governor is interested in these few decades, otherwise he would not want them. Don't be ungrateful, these will be buried with the late emperor. Your master should feel honored for this."

Tao Fang raised his toes, gently lifted the little monk, and kicked him aside to make way. The group of eleven people left, leaving the monks of Huguo Temple with anger in their faces, but they could only chant Amitabha continuously.

An Jiu and his companions then rode at full speed to Longxing Temple, where they also looted everything, taking away the Five Thunder Plates, the Three Pure Bells, the Tianpeng Ruler, the Peach Wood Sword, and anything else that could summon spirits and exorcise demons.

The angry host chased them for ten miles.

"Eunuch, return my magic weapon to me. It's a rare divine weapon made of lightning-struck jujube wood! You can't buy it with silver! Fuck your grandma! *%-$？?￥"

An Jiu pretended not to hear and didn't care about the silver. He would move out when he had time. No one's silver came from the wind, right?

That night, Bai Ningwei was keeping vigil at the funeral hall. Seeing An Jiu acting suspiciously, she waved everyone away. Just as she was about to tell him that he shouldn't have come at this time, she saw him taking something out of his pocket.

Strings of Buddhist beads were placed on Xiao Duo's head and hands, his scriptures were placed under his waist, and his jar and bowl were tucked into his arms. The Five Thunder Plate was tucked into his boots, and his peach wood sword was tucked into his waist.

"What are you doing? What are those things?"

"They are all good things. Because of these, Huguo Temple and Xinglong Temple have closed their gates and are not allowing pilgrims to go in."

Bai Ningwei couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth when she heard this.

"How did you get so much?"

"Invited by Zhengjing and the masters."

There's no way she can believe it.

“Why are you asking so much?”

Bai Ningwei asked this question even though she knew the answer, but she had to ask the question to be thorough.

"Your Majesty has shown me great kindness, and I have no way to repay you. I have requested a Dharma instrument so that he can ascend to paradise and become a Buddha in the next life. I am afraid that if I don't have this, my sincerity will not be apparent."

After saying that, An Jiu did not forget to put his hands together, closed his eyes devoutly, and chanted "Amitabha, may you be blessed with infinite happiness."

After hearing this, the little sadness that Bai Ningwei had in her heart was washed away in an instant.

He is both praying to Buddha and asking for advice. He is really trying to do both things well.

"Weiwei, thank you for your hard work. I'll come see you again when this is over."

An Jiu held her in his arms, his cheek unconsciously rubbing against her neck, causing a tingling sensation. Fortunately, he knew his limits, so he separated from her in a satisfied manner, and quietly retreated as he had come.

After twenty-seven days of rest, Xiao Duo was sent to the imperial mausoleum in a coffin filled with various treasures and various blessed magical instruments and artifacts. The new director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory chose an auspicious day for Xiao Qi's coronation ceremony.

However, King Jing had some different suggestions regarding the coronation ceremony.

When the emperor ascended the throne, he would first offer sacrifices to heaven, perform the ceremony of four kneelings and four kowtows, and then return to the imperial palace to receive congratulations and greetings from all civil and military officials.

Although the emperor sat in a sedan chair throughout the entire process, the coronation ceremony lasted a whole day, and a little kid like Xiao Qi could not bear it at all, so someone had to accompany and look after him.

Regarding the choice of the accompanying person, King Jing bluntly said that the Queen Mother was not qualified.

"The Emperor is the common ruler of the world. Even if he is younger, he should complete the ceremony alone on this day."

Even Shen Gaoyi, the most conservative among the ministers, found King Jing's words terrifying.

"Prince Jing has grandchildren too. You should know that a child under three years old would not be able to endure a full day of ceremonies."

"Sir Shen, no matter what other children do, His Majesty is still His Majesty. He must be able to endure what ordinary people cannot endure."

"You're just being unreasonable. The coronation ceremony is so important. Without the Queen Mother by your side, how will His Majesty end up crying?"

King Jing knew his words were inappropriate, but he knew the secret decree, so he didn't want Bai Ningwei to gain more recognition from the court officials. This was also why he suddenly snatched the child away on the night of Xiao Duo's death. He didn't want her to accept the kneeling etiquette that only an emperor should enjoy.

Even though the Empress Dowager and the Emperor both accepted the kneeling ceremony, he was unwilling to do so except for the greeting of a thousand years of age difference.

"It can be replaced by a nanny or a eunuch."

King Jing's statement is indeed feasible. After all, during sacrifices, eunuchs holding the tablet of the Emperor of Heaven can walk on the Shendao Road. Theoretically, it is also feasible to hold the emperor and sit on the dragon chariot.

But that was the last resort. There was clearly an Empress Dowager, and the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were very close, so why would they arrange things this way to humiliate her?

"No, the Queen Mother is still alive. This is against etiquette."

Regent Cen Maoshi also disagreed.

"Prince Jing, this is a very simple matter. Why do you insist on raising objections to this matter? Is there some reason we don't know?"

Yao Yuanying had worked in the Ministry of Justice and had learned some real skills in torture. Prince Jing's several objections were directed at the Queen Mother, which made him sensitively aware of something.

King Jing naturally would not reveal a single word of the secret decree, but Yao Yuanying touched upon the crux of the matter. It was difficult for him to explain, but he could hint at Xiao Duo's concerns when he was alive.

"The son is weak and the mother is strong. This king is worried that there will be trouble in the future."

So King Jing wanted to use this little trick to suppress Bai Ningwei, but this was not reasonable after all, and the five people had their own thoughts.

This is because Bai Ningwei was not present. If she were present, she would definitely have confronted the old man King Jing and made him dare not speak nonsense again.

The final coronation ceremony was still completed by Bai Ningwei holding the emperor.

On the day of her enthronement, Bai Ningwei was dressed in the solemn attire of the empress dowager, with a phoenix crown weighing more than five kilograms and inlaid with gems and pearls on her head. She sat on the dragon chariot holding Xiao Qi, who was also wearing a heavy dragon robe.

The most difficult part of a one-day celebration is not having to wear all the clothes and hold a child, but the fact that such a serious scene makes such a young child naturally resist and uncooperative.

Anjiu stood in the crowd, looking at the woman and child on the platform, unable to stop feeling heartbroken.

He picked up the phoenix robe and the dragon robe and weighed them. As a man, he felt they were heavy in his hands, let alone wearing them all day.

Xiao Qi sat on the dragon chariot, not daring to open his eyes to look outside. All the adults were standing straight, and he didn't know why they were so motionless like wooden figures, but their eyes always followed him, and he couldn't get rid of these terrifying gazes wherever he went.

There was a low and rich sound of a horn in his ears, which made the world seem particularly solemn and empty. He was so scared that he grabbed Bai Ningwei's sleeve tightly.

His body was very heavy, and he felt uncomfortable. Unfortunately, he was small and couldn't tell where he was feeling uncomfortable. He could only keep eating to relieve the discomfort, but soon he was exhausted and just wanted to lie down.

But today he can sit, cross his legs, or lean against something, but he cannot lie down or recline.

"Mother, Qi'er wants to sleep."

"Mother knows Qi'er is having a hard time. Just lean on me and sleep."

Bai Ningwei took out the pillows and cushions behind her and stuffed them all behind Xiao Qi, trying her best to help him reduce some of the burden, but she had no way to deal with the twelve tassels on his head.

Xiao Qi leaned over obediently and soon fell asleep. Bai Ningwei turned her head to look and saw that the little guy was frowning even in his sleep.

Hei Wuchang: Brother, look at the dazzling golden light in front!

Bai Wuchang: This is a rare gift of merit. Send him through the VVVIP channel, no need to queue, drink Mengpo soup, and arrange for his reincarnation directly.

Looking at Xiao Duo, who was covered in Buddhist beads and other magical instruments, he was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Anjiu, you bastard! You made me go to reincarnation before I even made it through the first seven days!"
