My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 83 Counterattack
As long as the palace is not locked, Anjiu can enter and leave the palace at will.
During the court meeting, Bai Ningwei was sent back to Lingqi Palace, and then they went to the eunuch's cell to pick up Wang Qing, who had stayed in the palace for the night, so that the number of people would be correct.
As soon as An Jiu arrived at his cell, he was blocked by the eunuchs from the Jingshifang.
"Greetings to Commander An."
Anjiu stopped and looked at the person who came, knowing why the other person came.
"General An has been promoted. Has he always forgotten about us useless people?"
There was a hint of bitterness in the young eunuch's compliments. Anjiu was so young and already held such a high position, it was hard for a fellow eunuch to feel unbalanced.
Anjiu was in a good mood today, so he rarely ignored him and waited for him to talk about serious matters.
Unable to wait for Anjiu's response, the young eunuch looked at him, only to see Anjiu looking at him coldly with a mocking smile on his lips. Just standing there, a cold and solemn aura came over him. He was someone who was not to be trifled with.
Thinking that he was here to ask for help, the young eunuch shrank his neck and bowed respectfully.
"The sheep's milk cream that Commander An prepared previously is no longer available in the Jingshifang. I wonder if the Commander still has the sheep's fat cream prepared."
That's exactly what I came for.
Jingshifang is a lucrative job, but not everyone has the money to take it.
When An Jiu was the deputy general manager, he made a rule that the extra money from the sheep milk cream sold could be used to buy tea for everyone, so that everyone could get a benefit.
Before leaving, he left more than a dozen cans, and judging by the time, they should be sold out.
The goat's milk cream prepared by Anjiu was different from the goat's milk cream that Bai Ningwei had tricked Feng Chongyuan into buying. The goat's milk cream Feng Chongyuan had bought was a simple paste, mainly to trick her, the victim.
The sheep milk cream prepared by Anjiu has a unique frankincense and fruity aroma that is captivating and the emperor likes it very much.
Therefore, even if she was not a high-ranking concubine who was served with bathing services by the Jingshifang and was not wrapped up like a dumpling and sent to the dragon bed, she would still like to buy an extra can to wipe her body.
"Wait."
Anjiu returned to the house and opened a locked cabinet. Inside was a row of identical white porcelain jars neatly arranged, which were exactly what contained goat milk cream.
But he ran his fingers over the jars without taking anything. Instead, he pulled out a prescription from one of them.
He gave the prescription to the person as soon as he left the house.
"Since I'm no longer in the Jingshifang, I naturally don't have these things. Giving you the recipe is a way to fulfill the friendship we once worked together."
The young eunuch took the prescription and was so happy that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Thank you, Governor An, for the reward."
This is a lot of money, who wouldn't be crazy?
An Jiu ignored it, locked the door and went about his own business.
At the court meeting, hundreds of officials, led by the Marquis of Zhenbei, jointly wrote a letter requesting Xiao Duo to enthrone the crown prince as soon as possible.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Xiao Duo was so overwhelmed by the ministers below that his chest felt tight and his ears tingled. He suppressed the urge to cough and waited until everyone below had finished their chatter before expressing his willingness to carefully consider the matter.
After leaving court, he returned to the imperial study and could not help but sweep everything on the imperial desk to the ground.
His physical condition must have been leaked, otherwise why would these old guys choose to bring up the issue of appointing a crown prince today?
Everyone is hoping for his death!
When did so many officials form a party?
Xiao Duo had too many doubts.
After his rebirth, he clearly had the upper hand, but why didn't everything go as he wished, and instead he found himself in a dilemma.
Xiao Duo couldn't understand why the root of everything was that he was the emperor, standing in the open, and his every move was a matter of national importance.
Everything in the world has its destiny. When he tries to forcefully change a situation, he must pay a price.
Whether he wanted to have a legitimate son or a crown prince sooner rather than later, the interests of too many people were involved. He was hard to guard against attacks from behind, and the situation was naturally worse than in his previous life.
An Jiu and Bai Ningwei, who were also reborn, were different from him.
Lurking in the shadows, An Jiu's thoughts were all about his own little piece of land. Leveraging what he had learned in his previous life, he used everything he could to quickly climb up the ladder. By removing all obstacles, he could safely hide behind others.
Bai Ningwei, on the other hand, is like Jiang Taigong fishing, taking the bait if she wants. She doesn't take the initiative, doesn't provoke, yet always manages to leverage the opponent's strength and remain firmly on top of the game.
The most important thing is that the two of them did not rush for quick success and instant benefits after being reborn. To reach this point today, in addition to An Jiu's silent pursuit of Bai Ningwei, there is also Bai Ningwei's clear understanding of this life.
However, Xiao Duo will never have the chance to figure these out.
He urgently needs to see some people now, including An Jiu and Bai Ningwei.
Xiao Duo ordered An Jiu to remove the nails that Zhenbei Hou had planted in the palace.
As for Bai Ningwei, he had too many instructions to give.
Halfway through lunch, the eunuch who was delivering the oral instructions arrived.
Bai Ningwei didn't know why Xiao Duo had summoned her, and she felt a little uneasy. However, she felt a little relieved that the summons was being held in Zichen Hall instead of the Shenlong Hall.
The Purple Palace was where Xiao Duo met with court officials, but there was no ceremonial guard there, so it was much more casual.
In the Zichen Hall, apart from Xiao Duo, even Wang Xi was not there.
This made Bai Ningwei become cautious, fearing that today would be a tough battle.
Thinking about how he slipped out of the palace last night and was summoned today, the coincidence makes me feel uneasy and scared.
Before Bai Ningwei could salute, Xiao Duo waved his hand.
"Forget it. Come here and talk to me."
This attitude seemed to have nothing to do with what happened yesterday. Bai Ningwei felt relieved and began to care about Xiao Duo.
"Your Majesty doesn't look well. Is there something troubling you?"
"At the court meeting today, those old guys are urging me to appoint a crown prince again."
Bai Ningwei wanted to cover Xiao Duo's mouth. He was not summoning her at all. He was clearly setting a trap to test her and see if he was going to bury her.
"Defei, what do you think about this?"
Oh, how can I see it? I can see it with my eyes open.
She is raising a legitimate son, and if anyone asks her about appointing a crown prince, if she gives a bad answer, the whole story will end today.
Thinking that Xiao Duo was reborn and had expectations of herself, if she just said some half-truths, he would definitely not be satisfied.
"Your Majesty, the appointment of a crown prince is a matter of state, and I shouldn't have any say. But I raised Qi'er, so I think I can still say a few words."
Xiao Duo leaned back in his chair and nodded, waiting for her to continue.
"The one those ministers nominated today must be the eldest prince."
Xiao Duo nodded again.
"How did you know?"
"Because Lady Anguogong didn't tell me this when she entered the palace. Otherwise, I would have held Qi'er in my arms to make my presence felt in front of you."
This is a very clever statement.
The Anguo Duke's Mansion is an old aristocratic family, but its status has begun to decline. It has no real power or military authority, and its grandson Xiao Qi is suspected of growing slowly.
Even if someone wants to fight for something, no one dares to take sides easily.
At the same time, this also indirectly shows how great the influence of the Marquis of Zhenbei is in the court.
Bai Ningwei continued.
"If the court needs to appoint a crown prince now, then the eldest prince is the most suitable."
This moment struck Xiao Duo right in the heart.
He knew that his life span was limited, but there was no need to be so anxious that he had to appoint a crown prince right away.
