My eunuch An is a yandere

Xiao Duo's words about making Xiao Qi a king immediately changed the Duke of Anguo's attitude.

But his dissatisfaction only lasted for a moment. There was still a smile on his wealthy and kind face, but his eyes had turned cold.

After the first birthday party, Lady Anguo made an excuse to stay a little longer.

"Your Majesty, what exactly did His Majesty mean just now?"

Bai Ningwei handed Xiao Qi in her arms to Nanny Qin, then sat back at the head of the table and spoke helplessly.

"Madam Guogong's question is a bit too anxious."

"Not to mention the eldest prince and the baby in Concubine Chen's belly, Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, and six new people have just been admitted. It's not a good thing to make some plans too early."

Lady Anguogong disagreed. She was already a grandmother, so she knew everything about the relationship between men and women.

Your Majesty, it has been more than 20 years since your wedding, and you have so many concubines serving you, but you have only five children born safely. This is not a very good result.

This also indirectly indicates that the emperor may have a hidden illness.

"But since ancient times, the eldest son has always been the heir apparent. Qi'er is the legitimate son, and without his mother, we, as his grandfather, can only make plans for him."

"How many emperors throughout history have truly adhered to this rule? If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so many cases of families being exterminated and their property confiscated."

Bai Ningwei's blow made the wife of Duke Anguo look very unhappy.

"But the virtuous concubine has gone mad."

Lady Anguo tried to find evidence that was more favorable to Xiao Qi.

"The virtuous concubine is the eldest prince's life-saving talisman. As long as the virtuous concubine is around, the eldest prince will not take any action."

Lady Anguo was confused by these words. She could only remember them silently in her heart and tell them to her husband when she got back.

Seeing that Lady Anguogong's wife didn't understand, Bai Ningwei didn't bother to say anything more. She served the tea and sent her away tiredly.

This is the bad thing about being in a high position. You always have to keep half of the important things secret and be prepared to shirk responsibility for what happens later.

If things go smoothly, it means that the decision made by the superior is correct. If they get out of control or even have serious consequences, it means that the people below are not doing their job well or using excessive means.

She was very good at this now. The main reason was that the Duke of Anguo's mansion was not very prominent in her previous life, and she was not aware of the Duke of Anguo's methods.

Might as well take this opportunity to give it a try.

After hurriedly kneeling to pay her respects, Lady Anguo returned to the mansion and was then invited to the study by the Duke's attendants.

After hearing what his wife said, the Duke said he understood and sent his trusted retainers to discuss the matter.

"Does Empress Defei intend to eliminate Consort Xian and force the Crown Prince to take action?"

"Master, I don't think so. I think that Concubine De has reminded us of two points. One is that His Majesty may not even choose the eldest son, and the other is to be careful that the eldest prince's people have already taken action in secret."

"Let's talk about the eldest prince first. As long as the virtuous concubine is alive, the eldest prince has no chance of ascending the throne, and everyone's eyes will not be on him. But once the time is right, the death of a madman is normal. So the eldest prince is in a very favorable situation now. The virtuous concubine attracts everyone's attention in public, so he can do something in secret."

The retainer's words made An Guogong feel enlightened. He had misunderstood. It wasn't that the virtuous concubine had to die, but that the virtuous concubine could die for the eldest prince at any time.

Forcing the eldest prince to come out in the open would expose himself. Instead of that, it would be better for everyone to play it darkly. At least he couldn't let the emperor focus all his attention on himself.

As for the issue of the eldest son, Duke Anguo narrowed his eyes dangerously. Could it be that it was confirmed that Chen Zhaoyi's baby was a prince?

This kind of news should not be kept to yourself alone, but should be made known to as many people as possible.

Sure enough, rumors soon spread inside and outside the palace that Chen Zhaoyi was pregnant with a prince and that the emperor was particularly fond of this child.

By the time these words reached Xiao Duo's ears, more than a month had passed. He was the last to know. Furious, he immediately asked An Jiu to find out who had spread these rumors that were shaking the country.

An Jiu led ten people from the Yanwu Guard and went door to door in Kyoto. Then he reported to Xiao Duo that the news was leaked from Earl Chen's mansion, and he also learned an even more incredible news.

"What is the rebirth pill?"

When Xiao Duo heard the name, he felt that things were going to be bad.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the pills can change the fetus. If a pregnant woman takes it, a female fetus can be changed to a male. The male fetus can strengthen the body and be immune to all diseases."

Anjiu reported what he knew truthfully.

"Call the imperial physician. I want to ask him if this is true."

The director of the hospital arrived soon. When he heard that it was a pill for changing the woman's body, he was shocked and confused.

"Your Majesty, where did you hear about this thing? It can't really change the fetus. If a pregnant woman takes it, she might have a miscarriage at best, or give birth to a hermaphrodite..."

The court director stopped himself from asking questions. The emperor was concerned about the pill to change the woman's body. It was probably because one of the concubines had touched this thing. Now there was only one pregnant person in the whole palace.

Amitabha, this Chen Zhaoyi must not do anything stupid. It is too difficult for them to be imperial physicians.

"What is a hermaphrodite?"

Xiao Duo listened to the ominous term in shock and anger.

"Your Majesty, a hermaphrodite is a creature possessing both male and female characteristics..."

After hearing this, Xiao Duo felt as if his entire head exploded.

He couldn't believe that the prince he had been thinking about would turn into a monster that was neither male nor female.

"Go, go check Concubine Chen's pulse! Check her belly and see if my heir is alright. Go quickly!"

After Xiao Duo yelled this, he fainted.

The imperial study was in chaos for a while, and the director of the imperial court dared not go to see Chen Zhaoyi. He quickly pinched the emperor's Ren Zhong point and took his pulse.

"Your Majesty has fainted from anger."

"Since His Majesty is well, shouldn't the Minister of the Court go and see Chen Zhaoyi?"

Wang Xi was still thinking about what the emperor had instructed him to do before he fainted.

"I'll ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to take a look. Imperial Doctor Zhang has been in charge of Chen Zhaoyi's pregnancy."

I would rather die than let my friend die. The head of the academy dare not touch Chen Zhaoyi's baby.

Doctor Zhang went to Chen Zhaoyi's palace with a gloomy face. After entering, he did not take her pulse, but knelt directly in front of Chen Zhaoyi.

Chen Zhaoyi's life has finally been prosperous recently. Although she was demoted and her salary was reduced, secretly, the Imperial Kitchen, the Weaving Department, and the Imperial Household Department all picked the best and sent them to her.

Especially since the news that she was pregnant with a prince spread like wildfire, more and more people came to curry favor with her every day.

So when she saw Doctor Zhang bowing so deeply to her, she didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Get up. Didn't you just check Ping'an's pulse this morning? Why is it happening again?"

Doctor Zhang didn't dare to get up. He lay on the ground, shaking like a sieve.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to verify something. I hope you can help me understand."

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Chen Zhaoyi looked at the imperial physician in confusion, who was sweating profusely.

"I dare to ask your Majesty, have you ever taken the reincarnation pill?"

Chen Zhaoyi's eyes moved restlessly, and finally she said vaguely, "No."

Doctor Zhang was so nervous that he didn't hear the guilt in her tone. He sighed that it was a false alarm, let out a long sigh, and then said with relief.

"It's good that you didn't eat it. It's good that you didn't eat it. I can now explain this to Your Majesty."

"What do you want to tell His Majesty?"

Chen Zhaoyi finally realized that something was wrong, and the next second her stomach began to ache.

"Ah! I'm giving birth."
