After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

Qiao Wan'er felt that "Fuzhi" appearing out of nowhere to help kill Xu Shixin was already the biggest surprise in her life, but she didn't know that there was an even bigger surprise waiting for her.

On the day of execution, the imperial guards brought her three cups of farewell wine and told her the "good news" - the young Emperor Qizhen would come to watch her beheading today.

When Qiao Wan'er heard this, she felt that this was indeed good news... She had really lived a good life, and the emperor was there to see her off before she died.

But? This little master is only six years old. Why does he have to come and watch beheading? Isn't he afraid of having nightmares at night?
Because she was not a member of the inner palace, Qiao Wan'er seldom had the opportunity to see the little emperor. She remembered that she had met him once when she was running errands in the palace about two years ago: at that time, the little emperor was still the crown prince, and his sedan chair was carried past her. She hunched her chest and lowered her head to salute the sedan chair, and dared only look at the ground. All she saw was the shadow of the crown prince sitting on the sedan chair. At that time, she only regretted that she had no eyes on the top of her head.

It is said that many palace maids had caught a glimpse of the emperor's face at the coronation ceremony of the young Emperor Qizhen this year, but the opportunity to serve at the coronation ceremony was very popular, so it was naturally not the turn of a low-ranking palace maid like her.

Thinking about it later, I still feel a little regretful that I missed the opportunity and was unable to see the emperor's face.

Now that she heard that the emperor would be present at the execution site in person, Qiao Wan'er felt that this must be God's way of giving her a chance to see the emperor so that she could die without regrets.

However, after being taken to the guillotine, she only saw an executioner, an executioner, and a team of guards standing around the execution platform.

What happened to the emperor's presence as promised? Did the little emperor change his mind? Or was the jailer joking with her? Whatever the reason, the emperor did not come to watch the execution, and her wish to see what the emperor looked like was also dashed.

Not only did the emperor not come, there was not a single common person watching the fun under the guillotine. It was not like the legend said, that on the day of the execution, the guillotine was packed with people in three layers inside and three layers outside, with no way to get through... Qiao Wan'er couldn't help feeling a little disappointed: As expected, people who live as humble as cats and dogs will not be popular when they die.

Just as he was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard the executioner beside him say something in a very low voice: "Don't look for him anymore, the emperor is on the city wall!"

This kind-hearted executioner might have rarely seen such a calm and composed death row inmate - even when he was about to die, he was still looking around to see if there was anyone to support him. Was he... treating the guillotine as a stage?
So I kindly reminded him that there is a heavyweight audience today.

It turned out that because the little emperor wanted to watch a beheading "show" today, they were afraid that too many people would disturb his imperial carriage, so the several streets outside Wuchao Gate were closed to traffic, and ordinary people who wanted to watch the excitement could not enter.

When Qiao Wan'er was reminded by the "kind-hearted person", she immediately remembered that she was at Duanyan Terrace - Duanyan Terrace was the execution platform closest to the imperial palace in Lin'an Prefecture, located outside the Wuchao Gate of Longchang Palace.

So she turned her head and looked towards the city tower due north: the red city tower stood far ahead, and inside the city wall was the Longchang Palace where she had stayed for fifteen years - a cage that had locked up countless prosperity and decline, countless joys and sorrows, but no matter what kind of prosperity and joy it was, it would have nothing to do with her... She had finally "escaped"!

As far as the eye could see, there was indeed a row of people gathered on the high city wall.

However, because the distance was too far, those people looked only as big as a fist, just like a row of birds resting on the city wall. Qiao Wan'er's eyesight was good enough to see at a glance that there was a yellow "bird" among them. Except for this one, the others were not yellow, and it was smaller than the "birds" next to it. So this "bird" must be the little emperor, because yellow is the color of the dragon robe.

It turned out that the little emperor was watching a beheading on the city wall. He couldn't see anything clearly at such a distance - at most, his eyes were dazzled by the sunlight reflected from the butcher's knife. The corpse being separated and the blood splattering were definitely not within his sight... But it's better this way. Children should try not to watch such bloody scenes, as it will give them nightmares!

Although it was not quite the same as expected, Qiao Wan'er felt that if she couldn't see what the emperor looked like, then so be it. When she went to the underworld, she would see the King of Hell. He was not more powerful than the emperor!

Just as my mind was wandering, I suddenly heard a gong sound, which was a reminder that the auspicious time had arrived.

Qiao Wan'er withdrew her gaze from afar, continued to keep her eyes down, and returned to the duties of a death row inmate.

The executioner was a skinny old man with a beard and wearing the fourth-rank court robes. He stood in a corner of the execution platform with a dignified look on his face, like a wooden sculpture. He ignored Qiao Wan'er's little movement of looking around just now, and only shook his body after the gong sounded, indicating that he was a living being.

He held a wooden token in both hands and walked towards the kneeling death row prisoner step by step.

When Qiao Wan'er saw him coming, she knew that the time for her ascension was approaching.

So I closed my eyes and listened quietly to the footsteps of the man approaching step by step. All the thoughts in my mind seemed to be blown away by an invisible wind, leaving only a blank.

The executioner stopped two meters in front of Qiao Wan'er, which was probably a safe distance based on experience so as not to be splashed with blood. He then threw the token in his hand onto the ground in front of the woman. The token made a crisp sound when it landed on the ground. At the same time, he gave a resounding order: "The auspicious time has come. Execute!" Before the executioner could react, a hurried voice came from a distance. The voice was like the cry of a wild goose, breaking the chilling atmosphere on the execution platform: "Wait! Wait! The emperor has ordered to withdraw the execution! Withdraw the execution!"

The young Emperor Qizhen was named Ji Ning. He was the grandson of Empress Dowager Xiao Qian, and the son of her foolish son Ji Feng. After the Taiping Gate Rebellion, the Xiao family seized power with the help of their foreign relatives and made Ji Feng the crown prince of Daizong regardless of the consequences. But Ji Feng was a fool after all. He was in his twenties, but his intelligence was not as good as that of a seven or eight-year-old child. If such a fool was supported to ascend the throne, it would be difficult to stop the public from speaking out.

Queen Xiao wished she could just change the Ji dynasty's surname to Xiao's, but using an external relative to seize power was already improper, and changing the dynasty's surname would give people a reason to criticize her - there were forces that wanted to return power lurking everywhere, and this was a good reason to justify opposing the Xiao imperial power.

So even though she was a whore, she still had to put on a memorial arch for herself - the puppet emperor must have the surname Ji and must be of Ji's bloodline.

No matter how stupid the fool is, he is still the "only" bloodline left by the previous emperor. If he is not suitable to ascend the throne, then let him give birth to someone who is not stupid.

Therefore, after seizing power, Xiao, in addition to working tirelessly to consolidate his regime, has also been doing his utmost to do another thing - to make his stupid son give birth to grandchildren.

But this idiot was stubborn to the core, and had no idea about sex. In the end, after being fed countless poisons and having countless maids lose their heads, he finally made one of the idiot crown prince's maids pregnant.

But the fool was given too much tiger and wolf medicine and died before the baby was born.

After ten months of pregnancy, the palace maid lived up to everyone's expectations and gave birth to a mentally normal baby boy.

When the baby boy was one year old, he was made crown prince, and when he was just six years old, Queen Xiao couldn't wait to push him onto the throne.

The palace maid who served in the bedroom, the biological mother of the current emperor, was canonized as the crown prince's concubine after she became pregnant. However, she might not be destined to enjoy happiness, as she died of puerperal disease less than a year after giving birth. When the young emperor ascended the throne, Queen Xiao instructed that she be posthumously canonized as Empress Dowager Xiaoming.

As for whether this palace maid who became the empress dowager after her death died of puerperal disease, anyone with a discerning eye knew the answer: Empress Xiao gave her a lavish funeral, posthumously conferred her a title, and provided her relatives with all kinds of comfort and pensions, but she could not spare this woman's life - the Grand Empress Dowager had to be the only person who coordinated this puppet emperor, so how could she tolerate another empress dowager to hinder him?

She was willing to feed her own son to death with poisonous drugs, let alone a humble palace maid who had no blood relationship with her.

Therefore, this woman who became Empress Dowager Xiaoming from a little palace maid in two years was actually just a reproductive tool that had to be sacrificed. Although her son Ji Ning became emperor at a young age, he was actually just a puppet in place of his fool father.

Qiao Wan'er was on the guillotine and could not see the little emperor on the city wall clearly, but the little emperor could see the woman sentenced to death clearly - because he had a telescope.

The glazed telescope was a Western item brought back to the country by a eunuch of the previous dynasty after returning from a trip to the West. It was a treasure that many princes and ministers could only obtain at a great price. Naturally, it was an item that a low-level palace maid like Qiao Wan'er had never seen before.

Before Qiao Wan'er looked up at the city wall, the little emperor Ji Ning on the city wall was already standing on a tall wooden stool, holding a two-foot-long telescope that looked like a golden hoop in his hand and looking at the execution platform.

The telescope works really well and can show the situation on the stage clearly.

So he immediately locked the camera on the female prisoner kneeling on the ground. What he saw was her profile - the woman was kneeling on the guillotine, wearing a collarless ochre prisoner uniform, with her long messy hair hanging down, completely covering the only side of her face that could be seen.

If he wanted to see the female prisoner's face clearly, he could only wait for her to look towards him, but the woman kept looking around and didn't look in his direction.

Ji Ning had always wanted to see what the death row prisoner looked like, so the more he couldn't see him, the more anxious he became to see him clearly. He scratched his ears and cheeks on the spot, and he looked a bit like a little monkey playing with a golden hoop.

After being anxious for a while, he finally saw the female prisoner turn her head and look in his direction... Her long hair was blown up in front of her face by the wind, and a pale face appeared clearly in front of him!
"Withdraw the execution! Withdraw the execution! I want to revoke the beheading order! Wuuuuu, that death row prisoner cannot be executed! Wuuuuu!"

For some reason, the six-year-old emperor wanted to watch the beheading on the city wall. After playing with the glass telescope for a while, he suddenly started crying and making a fuss on the city wall as if he was possessed. While crying, he issued an oral imperial decree to revoke the beheading order.
