My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 29 Returning to the Palace Unexpectedly
Although Bai Ningwei was annoyed by An Jiu's nonsense, she still accepted the medicine he sent. There was no other way. The medicine he sent was of better quality than the Imperial Hospital, so she would be wasting her time if she didn't accept it.
After calling in Doctor Wang to check that everything was fine, she, Nanny Qin, and Huan'er personally sewed six sachets using the herbs just in case.
The second month passed without incident. Although there were some mishaps, the regulations Bai Ningwei had introduced were not just for show. Whether it was the wet nurse being bribed or the palace servants tampering with the food delivery, these were discovered and dealt with immediately.
So when the eldest prince's full moon banquet was two days away, Bai Ningwei in the palace had made all the necessary preparations. With the help of the palace servants, she carried the little prince to her own sedan chair.
Bai Ningwei's sedan chair was not big. Because of the little prince, Xiao Duo made special arrangements for her to ride in a sedan chair regulated for a royal concubine.
The space was now much larger, and since it was still summer, there was a baby crib in the car, as well as Nanny Qin and a wet nurse to serve, so it didn't seem crowded.
Looking at the specially made baby basket shaking not noticeably in the bumpy sedan chair, Nanny Qin thanked Bai Ningwei with a sigh.
"Your Highness has taken such good care of the little prince that I, Nanny, cannot express my gratitude enough. In the future, as long as Your Highness needs me, Nanny will go through fire and water for you."
This was said very bluntly. As long as Bai Ningwei was willing to treat the little prince as her own son, treat him sincerely, and protect him at all costs, Nanny Qin was willing to become Bai Ningwei's person.
"Madam, you are speaking too early. Only when we return safely to the palace and hand the little prince over to His Majesty will we truly live up to His Majesty's trust."
Bai Ningwei did not directly take the olive branch handed to her by Nanny Qin. She turned around and gently lifted the curtain on one side of the carriage, looking at the countless cavalrymen outside.
Today, not only were there the Imperial Guards escorting him back to the palace, but the Anguogong Mansion's soldiers were also dispatched. All together, there were over three hundred people.
Judging from their number, no one would be stupid enough to send someone to assassinate a baby unless they were planning to usurp the throne today.
Because if there are only a dozen people to carry out the assassination, they simply cannot be relied upon.
If there were more people trying to assassinate someone, it would be impossible for local authorities to fail to notice.
Moreover, today's march is a forced march, with no dismounting to rest. Therefore, there shouldn't be any melodramatic plots like assassination today.
But Bai Ningwei was still worried. The palace fighting was far more than the frame-ups and poisonings that seemed to be happening. There were also too many small actions that people could not detect, which led to people dying in vain.
Along the way, who knows what will be waiting for them.
At midday, when the sun was shining brightly, the sedan chair Bai Ningwei was riding in suddenly lurched sideways with a loud clang. The people inside were thrown all over the place by the sudden mishap.
Only the little prince's baby basket shook a few times before coming to a steady stop. The child frowned in the basket and fell asleep again.
Bai Ningwei's heart skipped a beat, realizing the other party had attacked. She immediately stood up, put the mask hanging from the little prince's chin on him, and lowered the two layers of gauze curtains on the baby basket.
As soon as these actions were completed, the curtain was pulled open by a panicked eunuch.
"The carriage of the Concubine's concubine..."
"go out!"
Bai Ningwei felt an indistinct mass of fluff drift in as the curtains of the carriage opened. Her nose itched slightly, and she immediately understood what she was about to encounter. She immediately rebuked the eunuch in front of her.
The eunuch seemed to have no idea why he was being scolded. He knelt down helplessly and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am only here to report."
The eunuch seemed honest and timid, but he did not lower the curtain, but instead hooked it up.
Nanny Qin also understood what was happening. She was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot. She pulled down the curtain of the carriage and turned to look at the little prince.
Behind the gauze curtain, the little prince was sleeping soundly with a mask on, not affected at all.
The driver behind the carriage finally got out and rushed over. She could see more clearly from outside the car and spoke to Bai Ningwei through the curtains.
"Your Majesty, there's a lot of pollen flying around outside, and two people with asthma are having attacks. You and the young prince must not come out."
Among the more than 300 people, there were bound to be people with asthma. The adults had attacks. If they had not been fully prepared, the little prince would have suffocated to death by now.
The chariot's wheels were broken and it could not move now. It could only move forward after the palace servants replaced the wheels.
The two people with asthma carried sachets and medicine to relieve the symptoms with them, and were asked to leave quickly after taking them.
The others didn't dare to relax and surrounded the chariot. However, the pollen fluff was so pervasive that no one could stop it. They could only ask the wheel changer to move quickly so they could leave this dangerous place.
While waiting, Bai Ningwei had someone take away the eunuch who had just replied, and asked Gualü to bring in water and a rag.
Nanny Qin and the wet nurse had already gotten out of the chariot. Bai Ningwei could hardly even stand up straight in the chariot.
Because the outside of the baby basket is connected by two parallel rings, it can always remain horizontal, so the child lying inside will not be affected at all.
At this time, Bai Ningwei opened the wet rag and waved it in the air, trying to absorb as much pollen and cotton as possible in the car.
Although this method is not very convenient, it is somewhat useful. Soon a layer of fine flocs floated in the water.
As for the outside of the car, since everything had been checked before departure, there was no spare wheel. They could only dismantle the car made by the wet nurse and barely install it on the sedan chair made by Bai Ningwei.
The convoy then set off again.
But not long after, the convoy stopped again.
This time, no rash eunuch came up to lift the curtain and hang green outside the carriage to report.
"Your Majesty, there's a person tied up up ahead. The commander of the Imperial Guards has already sent people to check."
After a while, Gualui continued to report the latest news.
"My Lady, it was the man who put the pollen and cotton wool there. I don't know who caught him, tied him up like a dumpling and thrown him on the road. The bags of pollen and cotton wool were put on his head, and there were three big bags of them."
Bai Ningwei didn't say anything after hearing this, but was wondering who the person who came to help was.
Obviously, what happened today was something no one expected.
If the person who released the pollen is not caught, even if he returns to the palace, it will be difficult to determine whether it was man-made.
But now it’s different. We have both witnesses and evidence. It just depends on whether we can follow the clues and catch the big shot hiding behind it.
An Jiu, the person who had helped Bai Ningwei so much and whom she was thinking about, had already ridden away on his horse.
He took a special leave today and hired five bodyguards to protect Bai Ningwei just in case.
If there was an assassination attempt, perhaps he could take advantage of the chaos to rescue him. If the prince fell ill, Bai Ningwei would inevitably die. In that case, he would be the hero who saved the beauty, and he would repay her with his life.
I just didn't expect that there was no bloodshed this time, but I watched such a good show.
At the commanding height of the road where the accident occurred, two furtive men untied three large bags. One of them used a palm-leaf fan as tall as a person to blow the dust from the bags downwards.
An Jiu was deeply impressed by this and said he had learned something from it. Compared to these self-righteous nobles, his own methods were indeed not up to par.
