My eunuch An is a yandere

Xiao Duo established the Yanwu Guard, but he couldn't tell An Jiu that he was going to find the reborn person.

Although Anjiu understood, he would not directly give him what he wanted. He could only pretend to be confused and collected two boxes of secrets of Kyoto officials, and then picked out some and presented them to him.

Among them, there is an official who has a habit of smelling stinky feet, an official who is afraid of his wife and keeps a mistress, and an official who likes to hide in the study and dress up as a woman.

Bigger secrets included Chen Ge Lao, who, as a model of integrity, secretly accepted huge bribes, and Wei Taichang, who kept eighteen beautiful maids in his other courtyard and often slept with them.

An Jiu handed over what he had found out, not because he had forgotten Bai Ningwei's instructions to him.

But the emperor was also reborn, and he knew best what some ministers were like.

Just like Lord Chen, in his previous life, it was Xiao Duo who personally approved the exile of his entire family.

In this life, Xiao Duo kept his troops inactive, so he must have other plans.

He did this just to prove to the emperor that Yanwuwei was powerful and the emperor could use them with confidence.

Sure enough, after reading these secrets, Xiao Duo did not say anything, but just pointed out one of them. The wife of a certain official was jealous that the concubine had attracted the heart of her master, so she secretly found a Taoist nun to perform a ritual to kill the concubine.

"Check this out and see who else in the capital is doing this kind of idiotic thing."

Xiao Duo didn't dare to talk about rebirth, so he could only cite superstition, hoping that An Jiu could use this to find the reborn person.

An Jiu took the order and left. Xiao Duo sat back on the dragon throne to sort out his thoughts.

Now that a prince is gone, this matter is beyond his control, causing Xiao Duo to feel inexplicably panic.

After his rebirth, he changed a lot of things, but many things happened the same way in his previous life.

This made him think about his own lifespan.

If his life span remained unchanged, when the prince was born, the ruler would still be weak and the ministers would still be strong, and power would fall into the hands of others. It would be inevitable that there would be rebellion and people would suffer.

So what should he do to avoid the ending of his previous life?

It would have been better if the prince had been born earlier.

That night, Xiao Duo picked a lady named Chen.

The next day, Lady Chen jumped two levels and became Zhaoyuan.

Afterwards, she gained Xiao Duo's exclusive favor and stayed in Chen Zhaoyuan's palace for seven consecutive days.

This matter alarmed the harem. It was not only because of Chen Zhaoyuan's exclusive favor, but also because of her age. She was only sixteen years old, an age that Xiao Duo would not even look at.

Now the virtuous concubine is seriously ill. Although she has been released from the palace confinement, she has to take medicine every day, but her condition has not improved. Instead, she has become more confused and unconscious. Xiao Yuaner is in charge of all the affairs in the palace.

However, as Xiao Duo's daughter, Xiao Yuan'er has no control over Xiao Duo's bedroom affairs, so the other concubines can only ask Bai Ningwei for the decision.

This huge group of women crowded in Lingqi Palace gave Bai Ningwei a headache.

How could a Zhaoyi like her have any say in who the emperor favored? And why did the emperor favor Chen Zhaoyuan? Wasn't it to give birth to a prince? These women knew nothing, but let her make the decision. Isn't this making things difficult for her?

After sending everyone away, Bai Ningwei also thought of a reality: the emperor's harem was indeed too empty.

In the previous life, the queen was still alive at this time, but now that the queen is gone, there are still three concubines including her.

Now there is no queen, and there is only one queen dowager, and she is in name only.

It sounds quite sad.

But she was not in a hurry about these things, because there would be many people in the previous dynasty who could not sit still.

What she wanted to think about was the emperor's obsession with the prince.

She had originally thought that with a legitimate prince, Xiao Duo would focus on nurturing this child. However, Xiao Qi's body was damaged somewhat due to being held in the womb for too long.

No one dares to say that there is something wrong with the child's brain, but this child does grow slower than normal children.

It is said that a child rolls over at three months old, sits up at six months old, crawls at nine months old, and calls mom and dad at ten months old.

Xiao Qi was barely able to lift his head when he was three months old, and barely able to roll over when he was five months old. Now he is six months old, and he can't sit still without a cushion.

This is probably the reason why Xiao Duo did not plan to pass the throne to Xiao Qi, so he favored Chen Zhaoyuan two years in advance.

I guess he hopes that the prince will speak out two years earlier so that he can teach him two years earlier.

However, Bai Ningwei doubted whether Chen Zhaoyuan could give birth safely at such a young age.

And who can guarantee that a child born prematurely will be a prince?

No matter what Bai Ningwei thought, at the New Year's Eve banquet a month later, Xiao Duo announced with a happy face that Chen Zhaoyuan was pregnant and was promoted to Shufei.

The New Year's Eve banquet was extremely lively, but Bai Ningwei's heart was chilled.

She was still a Zhaoyi while raising the legitimate prince, but Chen Zhaoyuan, who had just become pregnant, suddenly became a Shufei.

After raising Xiao Qi, she had never been called upon by Xiao Duo again. However, because she was raised by the legitimate prince and on the side of the legitimate princess, she was not looked down upon by others in the palace.

She was often laughed at behind her back. Although she was a palace concubine, she became the prince's nanny and was not liked by the emperor.

In fact, she didn't care about these things. After all, no matter how much they said sarcastic words, her status and share would not change because of these sarcastic words.

However, Chen Zhaoyuan became the concubine, which greatly changed the balance of the harem.

After becoming Zhaoyuan, Chen loved to make trouble. She would always appear on her way to the Royal Kindergarten or when she was taking Xiao Qi to see the flowers and scenery, and say all kinds of nonsense to try to provoke her anger.

She never cared about winning or losing in such verbal battles.

But now that she has become a concubine, it is easy to imagine that her life will be difficult in the future.

Bai Ningwei may not fight for the throne of Queen Mother, but she absolutely cannot bear the humiliation given to her by such a person.

Empress Dowager Feng occasionally gave her a hard time, but she just thought it was the younger generation giving way to the elders. If Concubine Shu made her angry, she would think about how to get revenge on the spot.

After the banquet that night, Bai Ningwei went to Empress Dowager Feng's side and personally helped her back to Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, Empress Dowager Feng washed her face and leaned lazily on the phoenix throne.

"Tell me, what brings you to my palace so late at night?"

Empress Dowager Feng spoke with sarcasm. In her opinion, Bai Ningwei was a scheming person. She might not always be seen, but her feelings were always there. It was quite painful to not be able to see her sincerity, yet still be unable to forget her kindness.

Bai Ningwei respectfully offered a cup of tea and said obediently.

"I felt the harem was somewhat empty before, but with the Second Prince's affairs at hand, it's hard to bring it up. Besides, Yuan'er is another year older this year, so it's time to start choosing a husband. Now that Consort Shu is pregnant, two of the four concubines' positions are vacant. Do you think we should add new people to the harem?"

Bai Ningwei's words were clear: Xiao Yuan'er would eventually marry off, and the Six Palaces couldn't be left unattended. Concubine Shu was pregnant, had a humble family background, was young, and lacked the support of the public, so she wasn't a suitable choice. Concubine Xian's increasing insanity wasn't an option either.

Another suitable candidate was herself. However, her position could not surpass that of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu had done nothing wrong and had merits to her credit. Without the Empress Dowager's support, she would not be able to hold on to the power of the Six Palaces for long.

Empress Dowager Feng's eyes lit up when she heard this. She stared into Bai Ningwei's eyes, wanting to confirm.

"Do you really think so?"

"really."
