My eunuch An is a yandere

Anjiu held a small red building block and looked at it again and again. He didn't understand what was so fun about it that made a group of little kids have so much fun playing with it.

He took a pointed tool and drilled a hole in the bottom of the building block, then dug out a hole, filled it with a stone of the right size, sealed the opening, and painted it with thick red paint.

The building blocks still look like the same building blocks, but they sink when thrown into water.

That day, Xiao Fu went to see his mother again, and then went to Kunning Palace to improve the Empress Dowager's favor.

The Empress Dowager was also an important resource for him and could, to a certain extent, constrain the Emperor's decisions.

The grandfather and grandson played happily for a while, and it was not until the time for the empress dowager to drink her medicine that Xiao Fu took his leave.

Empress Dowager Feng was old and needed tonics from time to time. She was used to these things. The dark brown soup tasted sour and astringent, and she didn't sip it carefully, but took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

This time, she was choked by the foreign object in the soup and started coughing repeatedly, making a fool of herself.

Everyone in the palace was so frightened that they called for the imperial physician and rushed forward to check.

Nanny Liang helped Empress Dowager Feng calm down before picking up a red cone-shaped wooden block from the ground.

"What is this? How did it get into the Empress Dowager's medicine?"

Nanny Liang shouted sternly, scaring everyone to kneel down.

"Who brought the medicine bowl today?"

A palace maid hurriedly came out on her knees, kowtowed continuously.

"I don't know, I don't know. I brought it from the small kitchen as usual, and I didn't meet anyone."

The palace maids have served Empress Dowager Feng for many years, so her words are quite credible.

After asking around, there was only one possible problem: the medicine bowl was left on the table for a while before being presented. Because the eldest prince, Xiao Fu, was still there at the time, the medicine soup was not presented.

The medicine was not presented again until the eldest prince retreated and left Kunning Palace.

In other words, the foreign object was thrown in at that time.

It’s just that no one knows what this red thing is, otherwise we would be able to follow the clues and find the person who did it.

At this time, an older palace maid stared at the red object in Liang Ma's hand and spoke uncertainly.

"Madam Liang, this thing looks a bit like something kindergarten kids play with."

"you sure?"

Nanny Liang looked at the conical wood in her hand and confirmed again.

"My sister is in kindergarten. I had the pleasure of seeing her. There's a toy called building blocks, and one of them is this red one."

I know what it is, but who would throw a child's toy into the empress dowager's soup bowl?

Everyone seemed to have the answer, although there were still some things that didn't make sense.

But the Queen Mother is a daughter of a wealthy family. If someone really wants to murder her, instead of poisoning her, they use a toy. Isn't that funny?

So no matter how you look at it, this incident seems like a prank that a naughty child came up with on the spur of the moment.

It was just a prank played on Empress Dowager Feng, and it was unforgivable no matter who the perpetrator was.

That night, Xiao Fu was summoned to the imperial study by Xiao Duo, who scolded him severely in front of several royal relatives.

"How naughty and mischievous! That's your royal grandmother, and you've actually managed to offend her!"

Xiao Fu looked at the building blocks falling in front of him, feeling bitter but unable to express it.

He didn't know whether he should tell the truth, that it was not his doing but a frame-up by Lingqidian; or just swallow the loss and admit that he was confused for a moment and had the idea of ​​playing a prank on others.

Comparing the two, he didn't know which one would make his father less angry with him.

In the end, Xiao Fu chose to acquiesce. He had already been scolded, and telling the truth would only bring about a new round of anger from the emperor.

The next day, after the court session, the Marquis of Zhenbei went to find Xiao Fu. When he heard Xiao Fu's grievance-ridden account of the whole incident, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Your Highness shouldn't admit this crime!"

"But if I murder my brother, my father will surely dislike me."

Marquis Zhenbei shook his head. Xiao Fu was still too young. He was unable to react in time to the situation at that time. He actually thought that when faced with a choice between two options, he could protect himself by choosing one.

"Your Highness shouldn't have acknowledged it, and shouldn't have mentioned Lingqi Palace."

"Well, how about..."

Xiao Fu was indeed confused and had no idea what the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to say.

Marquis Zhenbei sighed.

"Your Highness should have insisted that he knew nothing about this. Your Majesty might have suspected that someone was framing His Highness."

Unfortunately, the matter was done. Xiao Fu had a reputation for being naughty, and since Xiao Duo did not cover up the matter, Xiao Fu was almost accused of being disobedient.

This was also a statement from Xiao Duo that Xiao Fu was not selected.

The Marquis of Zhenbei stood in the Qiyuan Palace and looked at the harem, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

It seems that the Defei in Lingqi Palace is not an ordinary person. She was able to extend her hands to Kunning Palace without anyone noticing.

In the days that followed, the people of the Zhenbei Marquis faction constantly made things difficult for the old aristocratic families such as the Anguo Duke, and submitted memorials to the emperor accusing them of being idle, bullying others, and seizing land.

The Anguo Duke's faction was no pushover either. They submitted a memorial accusing the Zhenbei Marquis and his followers of being arrogant and self-deprecating, selling official positions and titles to enrich themselves.

No one knew that the fuse of all this was An Jiudian.

Xiao Duo knew most of the things in the memorial, and he took the opportunity to attack, just like in his previous life, confiscating the property of those who needed it and sending those who needed it into exile.

The two factions of ministers at the court were like the aunties in the vegetable market. If you scold me, I will curse your whole family.

This noisy and indecent quarrel continued until the end of summer.

In the blink of an eye, it was Xiao Yuaner's wedding day.

The night before the wedding, Bai Ningwei, as Xiao Yuaner's foster mother, took on the responsibility of guiding her on the wedding night.

Holding a fire avoidance map, she came to Xiao Yuaner's side.

Xiao Yuaner's palace was decorated with red silk inside and out, creating a festive atmosphere.

Even her pajamas were bright red. She looked at Bai Ningwei delicately, and for the first time she felt embarrassed.

Bai Ningwei found it a little funny and a little sad.

After all, she is just a child, but she is powerless to change anything. All she can do is send a female doctor who knows gynecology to help Xiao Yuaner.

"You're getting married tomorrow, and it's customary for someone to tell you about your wedding night."

Xiao Yuan'er probably knew something about the relationship between men and women. After hearing what Bai Ningwei said, her little face turned red as if she was about to be cooked.

"But you probably already know all this, so today I'm going to tell you something you don't know."

"The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult to resolve in the world. Even if you are a princess, you are not immune to this. But if your husband can be a good mediator between you and your mother-in-law, then many problems will not be a problem."

Xiao Yuan'er didn't understand Bai Ningwei's words at all. After all, men were responsible for the outside world and women were responsible for the inside world. Whether it was the princess or the mother-in-law, they were all women in the inner house. If there was a conflict, it would be difficult for the prince consort to intervene.

Looking at the still childish Xiao Yuan'er, Bai Ningwei sighed inwardly. How could she make this pampered and spoiled daughter understand that marriage wasn't just about marrying someone you loved; it also meant integrating yourself into the other person's family.

A bride is like walking in a maze at night in a strange family, and her husband's sincerity is the only guiding light. If he truly loves her, he will accompany her, protect her, and take care of her, so that she will not get hurt.

"If he loves you, respects you, and values ​​you, he should stand firmly by your side. His level of resolve will determine his family's attitude towards you in the future."

Bai Ningwei didn't want to say more, she just hoped Xiao Yuan'er could remember her words.

If you are sad in the future and realize sooner that you have trusted the wrong person, you can avoid the messy ending of being deceived in your previous life.

Although Xiao Yuan'er was a bit spoiled, she was a woman of genuine nature. If you treated her sincerely, she would respond directly. This was why Bai Ningwei said these words even though she was angry.
