My eunuch An is a yandere

After thinking about the little emperor, Bai Ningwei turned over and thought about the secret passage again.

The secret escape passage was the emperor's last life-saving trump card, and as the empress dowager who was in charge of the government from behind the scenes, she naturally knew about it.

Although Huo Cheng is also a member of the royal family and the regent, he should not know the location of this secret passage.

How did he find the entrance to the secret passage hidden in a corner?

Could it be that he is the chosen one, and he can find any dog ​​hole or rat hole?

He shouldn't be so lucky.

Or did someone tell on me?

But this secret passage was only opened when she wanted to escape. Before that, because the little emperor was too young, she had not had time to tell him about this special life passage for the emperor.

After it was opened, only she, An Jiu and the other two knew about it.

Because An Jiu had helped her and was cruel to her, he would suffer no good consequences if he stayed with her, so he ran away with her and she had no chance to tell on her.

If she was green, she would choose to stay. Firstly, someone had to cover the entrance again. Secondly, she was married with a child and she didn't want to leave.

So he sold himself out after being caught by Huo Cheng?

That's impossible... I can say that I love Gualü so much that I'm like a brother to him.

But Huo Cheng can use love to deceive people. If he is caught cheating, it is human nature to choose self-preservation when faced with the choice between life and death.

Bai Ningwei felt a headache and heartache.

After a life-or-death experience, he became so suspicious that he suspected his best friend was cheating on him.

You have to know that Gualü has been serving me since I was a child. Let alone betraying me, she would cry for me even if she saw a wound on my skin.

So it definitely couldn't be her.

Then there is only one possibility, that bastard Huo Cheng had known about the secret passage from somewhere a long time ago.

He is indeed a big liar. From the beginning to the end, he was approaching her and deceiving her just for the sake of imperial power.

She was also stupid, believing all those sweet lies.

Bai Ningwei was so angry that she sat up and pounded the bed repeatedly, wishing she could beat Huo Cheng himself to death.

After venting her anger, Bai Ningwei fell back onto the bed, covering her swollen right hand.

Forget it, all the love, hate, and vengeance ended with the end of the previous life. She had no desire for revenge or reconsideration.

This is how her life will be. She will live one day at a time and she won't fight for it anymore.

But there is one person who cannot be ignored.

That's An Jiu.

Bai Ningwei still hasn't figured out why An Jiu, a eunuch who is greedy for money and power, would risk his life to protect her.

Although she did not discriminate against eunuchs, she was very opposed to and even disgusted by many of An Jiu's methods.

Perhaps eunuchs are missing an important part of their body, so their psychology is somewhat distorted, and the same is true for An Jiu.

He was known in the palace for his penchant for torturing fallen enemies, hoping they would perish in prison and never rise again. Rumors spread outside the palace that he had married several concubines but neglected their care, often resulting in fatalities. Doctors and physicians visited his residence daily, treating only minor injuries.

Whenever Bai Ningwei ordered such a person around, she would always feel terrified and guilty, but she was trapped in the inner palace and had no other choice.

An Jiu probably knew that he did not win the emperor's favor, so he would not appear in front of him except to report on the progress of matters he was handling.

The two of them exploited each other's suspicions and were barely tied to the same boat, with no other relationship except for interests.

But it was he who protected me on my last journey.

Bai Ningwei felt that she should repay this favor.

So she sat up again.

"Go green, go green."

Gualv, who was trimming roses outside the hall, heard her master calling her. She quickly put away her scissors and put them back in their place. Then she turned around and walked into the hall silently and quickly.

"Master, have you rested enough? Have some tea to wake yourself up."

Since entering the palace, Gua Lu has strictly abided by the palace rules. Even in private, she calls Bai Ningwei "Master" instead of "Miss".

As they spoke, a cup of warm tea was brought to Bai Ningwei.

Bai Ningwei took the teacup with one hand and patted the bed with the other.

"Sit and talk."

Gualv smiled without saying anything. She just took Bai Ningwei's empty cup and put it away. Then she came back and lay on the footstool under the bed, leaning over Bai Ningwei's feet to listen to what she said.

When she was young, Gua Lu was not yet a lady of rank, and always followed the rules between master and servant. In contrast, Bai Ningwei had gotten used to it and no longer insisted.

"When it's cooler tonight, go to the Imperial Household Department and ask if there's a young eunuch named An among the newly arrived eunuchs. He's about thirteen years old."

An Jiu was two or three years younger than her, Bai Ningwei was not sure.

"Yes, I understand. But I don't know what instructions the master will give if we find this young eunuch. If we don't find him, what instructions will the master give?"

"If we find him, it would be difficult for a thirteen-year-old to live in the palace. We can ask him to work more in Eve Palace to make things easier for him."

Bai Ningwei had only been in the palace for six months, and her position was only that of a talented person. She had neither money nor power. She couldn't transfer An Jiu to a department with easy and lucrative work, so she could only summon him under the pretext that there was work to be done in Eve Palace and a young eunuch was needed to help. She would then offer him a pot of tea and two snacks, so that the still-young An Jiu could rest a little longer.

"If you can't find it..."

Bai Ningwei was in a dilemma. If she couldn't find him, it meant that An Jiu hadn't entered the palace yet and was a normal, perfect person. However, she had no power to change his fate.

Bai Ningwei didn't know much about An Jiu's past. She only knew that his grandfather was an imperial physician and had some unclear relationship with the rebellious king Xiao Lian, so his entire family was either beheaded or exiled.

An Jiu castrated himself and entered the palace to become a eunuch.

If An Jiu didn't enter the palace, it means that nothing happened to his family and he is still a legitimate fifth-rank official in Beijing.

In terms of official rank, his father was only a minor official of the sixth rank, and he had no ability to rescue anyone from the case of the traitorous prince. In terms of wealth, sending him to the palace had already consumed all the money his family had accumulated over the years. If anything happened to the An family, his family would not be able to afford to make amends.

Besides, why would we rescue the criminals in the King of Rebellion case? No one can escape, so who would rush to get involved?

Bai Ningwei sighed. It seemed that even if she traveled through time and was reborn, there were some things she was destined to be unable to change.

An Jiu, you should just be a eunuch and be at peace with yourself.

"If we don't find it today, we can always find it later. Then we can take better care of this little eunuch."

Bai Ningwei was not worried that her care would ruin An Jiu's future destiny. Given An Jiu's personality, it was only a matter of time before he wanted to be in a high position and have power.

If she took better care of him now, when An Jiu climbed to a high position in the future, he would definitely take care of her in return. This way, she wouldn't have to fight for anything in this life, and could just live out her retirement in the palace, living a life of idleness and waiting to die.

Gualü, who was still sitting beside the couch, looked at the master he had served for many years and felt a little confused.

By the way, how did her concubine know about this young eunuch named An?
