My eunuch An is a yandere

Gualü waited until after dinner when the weather was no longer hot before going to the Imperial Household Department in the westernmost corner of the palace.

The Imperial Household Department was small, yet the most crowded. It served not only as a collective cell for the lowest-ranking eunuchs, but also as a place for cleansing. Everyone in the palace despised it for being filthy, and few strangers came.

The old eunuch at the gate of the courtyard saw a neatly dressed palace maid appearing here at night and immediately greeted her warmly.

The smell of cheap perfume powder spread out, and Gualü simply adjusted his breathing without raising his hand to cover his nose.

"This sister is a rare guest. I wonder which palace she works for, but you have taken the trouble to come to this shabby place like ours."

Gualü took out a piece of silver and put it into the hand of the eunuch who was bending over to support her. She was not surprised that the eunuch, who had gray hair, called her sister.

"I came to ask about someone, and I'll be gone in just one sentence."

Gualv didn't plan to go in. What she wanted to know was not complicated, it could just be a matter of one sentence.

"I wonder who my sister wants to inquire about?"

The old eunuch was so delighted to receive a piece of silver for nothing that he couldn't even see his teeth or mouth. The truth was that he had been in the palace for many years and had always been staying in this ward. He had never served an important person and had received rewards only a few times.

"Has there been a new eunuch named An in the palace recently? He's about thirteen or fourteen years old."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The old eunuch was probably so happy that he was dizzy. He didn't even need to be asked any more questions and just told everything he knew.

"In the past two months, a young eunuch named An did arrive. Because of his good looks and sweet talk, he was favored by Eunuch Wang and adopted as his godfather, becoming his grandson. He was incredibly lucky, as he was able to serve the Emperor right after entering the palace."

The eunuch felt very sad when he spoke the last part. He had been a eunuch in the palace for most of his life, but he had never even seen the emperor.

Gualv was also surprised that this father-in-law was such a chatterbox. It was a miracle that he had lived to this age, given his mouth. There was no need to force any luck.

It's no wonder the old eunuch was so sad. There were many eunuchs with the surname Wang in the palace, but only one could be called Eunuch Wang. The senior eunuchs in the palace were ranked, and Eunuch Wang was the eldest, being the emperor's closest confidant.

As soon as the new eunuch entered the palace, he relied on the leading figure in the industry. His rapid rise to fame was just around the corner. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Gualv got what he wanted to know and returned to the side hall of Eve's Palace.

Bai Ningwei, who was eating her portion of fruit, was so shocked when she heard Gualv's words that she couldn't close her mouth.

An Jiu is actually good-looking and sweet-talking???

excuse me? Are we talking about the same person?

The Eunuch An Jiu that Bai Ningwei knew was a sinister-looking man who favored thick layers of white powder and blood-red lipstick. He was a villain who could physically repel even the mere sight of him in broad daylight. Not to mention his cold, taciturn personality, and his sharp tongue. He was far from the type to be found in sweet talk.

Bai Ningwei clicked her tongue repeatedly. She had never expected that the great devil who could stop children from crying in the future would look like this when he was weak.

Bai Ningwei couldn't imagine what An Jiu, such a servile and servile lackey, looked like, but that didn't stop her from having fun all night.

The palace may appear glamorous and magnificent, but in reality it is a prison that binds people's hearts. Few of those imprisoned within it can truly be happy.

Although the concubines at least had some material comfort, most of the palace maids were poor people who did not even have material security.

Late at night in the imperial palace, the maids and eunuchs who weren't on duty all had their own ways of relaxing. In a secluded corner somewhere, a lowly maid cautiously nestled in someone's arms.

"Brother Agui, can you really transfer me out of Lin Heng Office?"

The Forestry Department was the imperial palace's department specifically responsible for managing trees, flowers, and plants. Being a young maid here wasn't very rewarding, but it offered little risk, making it a comfortable place to wait until release from the palace.

The eunuch pinched the little palace maid's rough hand and said with a smile.

"Look at our little beauty's hands, they've been ruined by these flowers and plants. Don't worry, your noble eunuch has no other skills, so it's no problem to transfer you out of this Lin Heng Office. But how are you going to thank me?"

The little palace maid got the answer she wanted, and the joy on her face became more and more genuine. She immediately took out a purse from her chest to express her gratitude to the eunuch.

At this moment, a white hand stretched out from the side and snatched the purse away without saying a word.

"It's not uncommon for people to have affairs in the palace, and private transactions are not uncommon either. But it's really strange that a maid from the Lin Heng Office could make a purse out of tribute satin."

In the darkness, a short figure suddenly appeared, with a clear voice that had not yet changed, but spoke words that made people feel cold.

The little palace maid trembled all over and stood up in panic. Before she could explain, Brother Agui beside her bowed and spoke first.

"This servant has met Eunuch Xiaojiu. If I had known that Eunuch Xiaojiu would be strolling here, I would definitely not be an eyesore."

Eunuch Xiaojiu shook the purse in his hand and spoke in a light tone.

"Everything else is fine, but there have been frequent thefts in the palace recently. I never thought the thief would be a young palace maid."

When the young palace maid heard this, her mind went blank. Stealing in the palace was a serious crime. No matter what was stolen, once convicted, the sentence would be severe, sometimes even death.

Although she didn't know him, she knew the young eunuch before her was a powerful figure despite his young age. Unlike her, the "small" status of a young palace maid meant she was in a position of the lowest rank possible. So the young palace maid sank to her knees and burst into tears.

"My Lord, I didn't realize this was tribute satin. This is a discarded scrap I picked up on the road."

"Who can prove whether what you said is true or not? Just come with me honestly. The truth will be revealed after a beating."

"Brother Agui, please help me to plead for mercy. This tribute satin was really picked up by me."

But the eunuch put his hands together and looked down at the ground, showing no intention of getting involved at all.

"Do you want to go on your own, or do I have to send someone to force you to go?"

The eunuch's sinister urging frightened the little palace maid so much that her face turned pale and she rushed over to hug the eunuch's feet.

Although the young eunuch was young, he had a lot of momentum. Even when the maid was kneeling, she was still as high as his waist. He remained calm and did not show any signs of misbehavior.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, please, please. I really picked it up. Please forgive me, let me do anything, anything."

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch reached out and fiercely pinched the young maid's chin, lifting it upwards. Under the moonlight, a pair of sparkling and beautiful eyes were revealed.

The young eunuch raised his eyebrows and smiled in an ambiguous way.

"You're willing to do anything?"

"Yes, yes. I am willing to do anything."

When the young palace maid heard that things were turning around, she immediately made promises one after another and almost raised her hand to swear.

"But this eunuch is a suspicious person. If you want me to do something, you can't just talk about it."

"Please tell me clearly, sir."

The little palace maid was not stupid either, she was being pointed at.

"I have a pill here. Take it and you'll be mine. But you have to take it on time every month, otherwise you'll bleed from all seven orifices and die from the poison. There's no antidote. Are you willing?"

As he spoke, the young eunuch took out a porcelain bottle, from which emanated a strange medicinal smell that was a bit pungent.
