Chapter 164 The Third Prince's Black Moonlight Eunuch 01

It was still dark, the eastern skyline tinged with a faint pale paleness. In a small room in the palace lay six simple beds.

A group of young eunuchs lay on the wooden beds, their breathing even and calm, with occasional slight snoring echoing in the quiet air.

There was no gorgeous decoration in the room. Only a few small windows let in faint morning light, casting mottled shadows on the floor, making it look a little desolate.

Suddenly, a young eunuch by the window opened his eyes. He put on his clothes and walked to the easternmost bunk. He shook the person sleeping there and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xiangzi, it's time to get up. It's our turn to work the early shift today."

Shen Xinran was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up. She opened her eyes in a daze.

Xiao Xiangzi?

Why does this sound so much like a eunuch's name?

Looking through the light coming in from the window, she saw a man dressed as a eunuch standing beside her bed.

Shen Xinran's eyes widened. Who else could a man who slept with a eunuch but a eunuch?

I touched my lower body through the quilt, and uh... there was nothing.

But doesn’t the little eunuch have nothing?

She quickly touched her upper body again, wow... it was flat!

The young eunuch standing beside the bed frowned and urged, "What's wrong with you? Change your clothes quickly!"

Shen Xinran nodded, almost crying. "Okay, get up right away."

The palace was shrouded in a solemn and mysterious atmosphere in the early morning, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were on early shift had already gotten up.

They dressed neatly and started their day's work with serious expressions.

Some are responsible for cleaning, some are responsible for preparing breakfast, and some are preparing the clothes that the masters will need to wear in a while.

Shen Xinran called the system's name several times in his heart, but he didn't know where this damn system had gone.

She couldn't accept the plot and could only follow the eunuch who woke her up and walk through the corridors of the palace.

A tall and well-proportioned eunuch walked towards him. Although his face looked weathered by the erosion of time, his eyes revealed wisdom and experience.

Moreover, although the color of his clothes was the same as Shen Xinran's, the material used was more exquisite.

Shen Xinran only took one look and felt that this eunuch was not simple.

Of course, the bigger reason was that the young eunuch walking in front of her suddenly bent down and respectfully called out, "Good morning, Eunuch Fushou."

Shen Xinran originally wanted to follow the young eunuch and retreat to the side, but this eunuch Fushou walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "What? You didn't even call out 'godfather' when you saw him?"

When Shen Xinran heard this, he quickly forced a smile on his face, "Good morning, godfather."

Eunuch Fushou glanced at the young eunuch in the corner, and the young eunuch immediately understood what he meant.

He immediately looked at Shen Xinran and said with a smile, "Xiao Xiangzi, you talk to Eunuch Fushou first. I'm going to work the morning shift. You don't need to come in later. I can finish that little job by myself."

When Shen Xinran heard this, he didn't have to work anymore. He smiled instantly, "Thank you very much."

After the young eunuch left, only Eunuch Fushou and Shen Xinran were left in the corridor. He glared at Shen Xinran with disapproval and said unhappily, "Look at what you've become!"

Although Eunuch Fushou's tone was serious, Shen Xinran realized that he had no ill will towards her, so she just smiled and said nothing.

Eunuch Fushou continued solemnly, "Godfather, I've brought you a great job this time. As long as you do your job well, you will be rich and prosperous in the future."

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Shen Xinran immediately sensed something was wrong and asked doubtfully, "What good job?"

After looking around, Eunuch Fushou leaned close to Shen Xinran's ear and whispered in a low voice, "The Imperial Concubine wants someone to go to the cold palace to monitor the Third Prince. I recommended you."

Spying on the prince? This sounds like a thankless task. Shen Xinran said in a trembling voice: "I'm timid, can I not go?"

Eunuch Fushou raised his hand, patted Shen Xinran's head fiercely, and scolded him: "This is a great opportunity for you to get promoted and make a fortune. Others can't go even if they want to!"

Shen Xinran thought: Getting promoted and getting rich is good, but the prerequisite is that she has to be alive to enjoy it!

But looking at the expression of Eunuch Fushou that brooked no argument, Shen Xinran did not dare to refute and could only sigh helplessly.

The young eunuch said he would help her with the work, so Shen Xinran naturally couldn't rush to work. After separating from Eunuch Fushou, she returned along the same path.

The other young eunuchs had already gotten up and left one after another, leaving Shen Xinran alone in the room.

She desperately called out the system's name in her heart, "Damn system, why did you turn me into a eunuch? Whose Bai Yueguang is a eunuch!"

Perhaps sensing Shen Xinran's anger, the system finally appeared, "Don't worry, you're not a eunuch."

Shen Xinran breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

System: "This little world is too complicated. You should accept the plot first!"

Just like that, Shen Xinran sat on the bed, absorbed the plot for ten minutes, and was in a daze for two hours.

Alpaca, her current status is even worse than a eunuch! Who would have believed that she was actually the former princess Cao Qingyan?

The Sima family led their troops to attack the imperial city, and the royal family had no choice but to flee with their men. The five-year-old Cao Qingyan was forgotten in the palace.

In order to survive, she had to disguise herself as a little eunuch.

But she was in the palace, but her heart was in Cao's camp.

For so many years, she has been living cautiously, and her biggest dream is to survive and wait for the royal family of the previous dynasty to find her.

In the power struggle between the Third Prince and the Imperial Concubine, she was walking on thin ice, trying to survive in the gap between the Third Prince and the Imperial Concubine.

The third prince Sima Yi is the male protagonist of this world.

He had a mother who was the mother of the country and a father who was the emperor. He should have been a prince of noble status.

However, a cruel twist of fate dramatically changed the trajectory of his life.

His mother was framed by the imperial concubine and was accused of infidelity.

In this palace conspiracy, the emperor's suspicion became the last straw that broke the camel's back, forcing her to die to prove her innocence.

Sima Yi, who was only ten years old, had a fierce dispute with the emperor in order to protect his mother's reputation and became the first prince to be banished to the cold palace.

During this forgotten period in the cold palace, Sima Yi also experienced the darkest days of his life.

However, in such a gloom, Xiao Xiangzi was like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating his world.

When everyone was eager to escape from the cold palace, only Xiao Xiangzi chose to enter at all costs and become his only companion.

Xiao Xiangzi's existence is like a bright light in the cold night, giving him the courage and strength to persevere.

Of course, it was this difficult period in the cold palace that honed Sima Yi's will and wisdom.

He kept a low profile in the cold palace, cleverly eliminated those princes who blocked his way, and finally successfully ascended the throne, becoming a majestic and wise monarch.

But what Sima Yi didn't know was that Xiao Xiangzi was not only a spy sent by the imperial concubine, but also a remnant of the previous dynasty, carrying an unknown secret and mission.

When all the secrets were exposed, his love was as strong as his hatred, and he had Cao Qingyan torn into pieces.
