My eunuch An is a yandere

Xiao Duo pointed again and again on the rice paper, but he couldn't be sure who was the one who was reborn.

Especially Huo Cheng and Bai Ningwei here, their current situations are the result of their own control, not obtained by any tricks.

After his rebirth, Xiao Duo found an excuse to send Huo Cheng to the south as a minor inspector. Because of this, his aunt often came to him to complain about how hard Huo Cheng's life was in the south.

But in his previous life, he treated this guy as his brother and entrusted his son to him. But now, not only did he want to take his woman, he also wanted to take over his Xiao family's world.

I didn't kill him after I was reborn because he was my aunt's only son.

Although Huocheng was from the south, he was demoted there without knowing why. If he were reborn, he would definitely find a way to stay in Kyoto instead of foolishly moving away from the center of power.

As for Bai Ningwei, every promotion she received was arranged by herself to get what she wanted. She never fought for it, and she wasn't even willing to work hard for power, pushing away the burdens she could.

But these are just his observations, his subjective opinions. Who knows if those who appear to be living a peaceful life are just acting?

Didn’t he learn enough lessons in his previous life?

But he couldn't just kill these seven or eight people in one go just because of suspicion. He still had to investigate thoroughly.

How should we investigate? Who should we send to investigate? These are all problems.

He had to keep the fact of his rebirth a secret. If anyone else knew about it, his imperial power would be in jeopardy.

If a person could be reborn, how could the core in his body prove that he was his true self and not a wandering ghost?

Imperial legitimacy will no longer exist.

He was looking for someone who was absolutely loyal and capable, someone who could move between the harem and the front court.

Xiao Duo thought for a long time and finally came up with a suitable candidate.

Anjiu.

In his previous life, Xiao Duo became interested in An Jiu after he became the writing eunuch.

Xiao Duo knew that An Jiu was a man who would do anything to climb to power, and he was a capable and resourceful man.

And from his perspective, Anjiu is still a good servant loyal to the imperial power.

There seems to be no one more suitable than him in this palace.

So Xiao Duo called Wang Xi.

"Go find me a eunuch named Anjiu."

Wang Xi's ears itched and he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Although he had appeared in front of the emperor with An Jiu in the past two years, he did not believe that the emperor could remember a servant.

So Anjiu must have done something to attract the emperor's attention.

Thinking about the Second Prince's death yesterday and the fact that Concubine Xian was given a mind-destroying medicine today, Wang Xi felt a pang in his heart, wondering what the Emperor wanted to talk to Anjiu about.

But his relationship with Anjiu was known to almost everyone, and if anything bad happened, he would not be able to escape. So he knelt on the ground and reported honestly.

"Your Majesty, Anjiu is my adopted grandson. I don't know what wrong he has committed, but I will bring him here right away."

As Wang Xi said this, his eyes secretly looked up at Xiao Duo's expression.

When Xiao Duo heard about the relationship between An Jiu and Wang Xi, he felt a little weird. Is it such a coincidence?

Unlike Bai Ningwei, Xiao Duo didn't take An Jiu too seriously after noticing his presence. After all, to the emperor, a slave, no matter how capable, was still just a slave. And even though this slave was treacherous, he was loyal to the imperial power, so his other shortcomings were nothing.

Therefore, he did not do any background check on An Jiu, and did not know An Jiu's promotion path in his previous life, nor did he know the difference in An Jiu's names in these two lives.

He only asked Wang Xi how the two met and whether they were reliable.

Wang Xi saw that Xiao Duo had no intention of accusing An Jiu, so he naturally spoke well of him. After all, he was his adopted grandson. If he had bad character, wouldn't it seem like he had ulterior motives?

"One day, when I was passing by the palace, I saw him, a little boy, sweeping the floor diligently with a broom taller than him. My heart softened, so I spoke to him. Unexpectedly, he was a well-mannered and likable child, so I unwittingly accepted him as my godfather."

Although Wang Xi thought Anjiu was a decent person, he made the matter of recognizing his relatives vague so that he would have a way out in case the emperor turned against him.

Xiao Duo didn't care about Wang Xi's little abacus beads. When he got a positive answer, he asked someone to summon An Jiu and sent Wang Xi away again.

In the imperial study, Xiao Duo looked at An Jiu who was kneeling below him, and chose his words before speaking.

"The palace has been restless recently, and I need someone to find out the truth."

An Jiu lowered his head, vaguely guessing what the emperor wanted him to do.

The Second Prince's case is under investigation by the Three Departments, and the Virtuous Concubine has also been removed from the investigation. What else does the Emperor want to investigate at this time? Others may not understand it, but he knows it clearly.

"I know you. You are a resourceful person. I will entrust this task to you. I will assign you ten men and grant you a jade pass. If you find anything unusual, please report it to me at any time."

"Remember, everything is done in secret."

An Jiu was surprised. He didn't expect that the emperor would give him such power. Although it was not allowed to be seen in public, it could reach the emperor directly. This power was not small and was something many people wanted.

So he kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Who does your majesty want me to investigate?"

"Inside or outside the palace, anyone who behaves strangely will be investigated. Do you understand?"

Xiao Duo's words were vague, so An Jiu knew what he wanted to find out, so he took the jade token and left the imperial study.

Wang Xi had been waiting for him and blocked him with a wave of his whisk.

"Why did His Majesty summon you?"

An Jiu pretended to be embarrassed and showed the sign in his hand. The sign was engraved with two characters: Yanwu, a polite name for crow. But even if it was a polite name, it was still a crow.

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows, knowing that he couldn't ask any more questions about this, so he smiled a little coldly.

"Work hard, and you'll be promoted to a higher position in the future. By then, I might even have to rely on you to make a living."

Seeing that the old man was unhappy, An Jiu sighed inwardly. He didn't want to break up with him yet, so he bowed politely.

"His Majesty asked me to bring ten people with me on this mission. Grandpa loves his grandson, so he should at least assign me two people."

Wang Xi nodded in satisfaction, and without stopping An Jiu, he flicked his whisk and entered the imperial study.

An Jiu watched the old man disappear, rubbed his fingertips vigorously, and added a death countdown for him in his mind.

The first thing An Jiu did when he took office was to set fire to Lingqi Palace.

It was the middle of the night and Bai Ningwei had already lain down when she suddenly felt something was wrong. When she opened her eyes, she saw An Jiu sitting inside her bed curtain.

This shows that you don’t take yourself seriously at all!

Bai Ningwei's sleepiness immediately disappeared, and she decided that she must teach this man a lesson today, so she opened her mouth and asked Gualv to come in.

Did she really think she didn't dare to call anyone because she was afraid of being caught and causing rumors? She was also protected by loyal people.

Unexpectedly, Anjiu took advantage of the situation and pressed down her body as she was about to sit up, and covered her mouth with his hand.

"Your Majesty, please don't cry. I am also following orders. Please bear with me for a moment and cooperate with me."
