Chapter 166 The Third Prince's Black Moonlight Eunuch 03

Eunuch Fushou had just finished his night shift when he saw a man with red spots all over his face running towards him. He was shocked.

If Shen Xinran hadn't eagerly called him "godfather", he would hardly have recognized that this was his godson.

He frowned, his expression filled with concern and reproach: "It's only been a day since we last met, how come you're in such a mess?"

Shen Xinran looked aggrieved, "The cold palace is overgrown with weeds. I might be allergic."

"Your skin is delicate." Eunuch Fushou glared at Shen Xinran, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

But after he finished speaking, he took out the key, opened the door and walked into the room.

Shen Xinran followed closely behind, asking as he walked: "Godfather, my face is red and itchy, do you have any ointment that can relieve it?"

Eunuch Fushou opened the wardrobe, took out an exquisite purple box, and handed it to Shen Xinran. "You are really lucky. This ointment was given by the Imperial Concubine herself."

Shen Xinran took the ointment and grinned, "Thank you, godfather."

After Shen Xinran finished speaking, she couldn't wait to open the box, gently dipped her fingers into a little ointment, and evenly applied it to her face. As expected of a gift from the imperial concubine, the effect was good, and the itching on her face was quickly relieved.

After returning to the cold palace, she saw Sima Yi coming out of the backyard. He was holding a wooden box in his hand, and his fingers were light green. Shen Xinran quickly lowered his head and saluted respectfully, "Good afternoon, sir."

Sima Yi saw Shen Xinran coming back from outside, frowned slightly, and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Shen Xinran smiled and replied, "I have a godfather and stayed with him for a while."

Sima Yi walked up to Shen Xinran and said in a deep voice, "I suddenly remembered that I used to be like you, with rashes all over my face. I applied some cooling cream and it was fine. Do you want some?"

Shen Xinran shook his head and smiled faintly, "Thank you for your kindness, Master, but I have already found some ointment to relieve the itching."

Sima Yi then noticed that Shen Xinran had an exquisite purple box in his hand. He frowned and asked, "Did your godfather give this to you?"

Shen Xinran nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes."

Sima Yi raised his eyelids, a sarcastic smile on his lips. He raised his hand, patted Shen Xinran's head, and said casually, "This ointment is so good, you must recover soon."

Although Sima Yi's words were full of care, Shen Xinran still felt uncomfortable. She shuddered inexplicably and nodded with a smile, "I borrow your auspicious words."

After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he returned to his room.

But not long after, her neck also began to itch, and even the ointment given by Fushou didn't work.

In desperation, Shen Xinran could only pin her hopes on Sima Yi. She knocked on Sima Yi's door and asked, "Master, do you still have the cooling ointment you mentioned?"

Sima Yi opened the door and sighed, "I thought you didn't need it, so I threw it away."

Shen Xinran asked again: "Excuse me, where did you lose it? I can pick it up."

Sima Yi tilted his head, thought for a long time, frowned and said, "But I seem to have forgotten where I left it."

Shen Xinran's neck became increasingly itchy, and she could only scratch it with her fingers. She knew without even looking that her neck was covered in red marks, because her fingernails were full of fleshy filaments.

Shen Xinran wanted to cry, but Sima Yi suddenly smiled, "I lied to you, the cooling ointment is still there."

Shen Xinran looked at Sima Yi expectantly and asked, "Can I use it?"

Sima Yi nodded, "Of course, no problem."

After Sima Yi finished speaking, he walked to the head of the bed and picked up a box, which was the box that Shen Xinran had seen before.

Shen Xinran wanted to reach out, but Sima Yi directly unscrewed the lid, scooped out some ointment with a piece of wood, and wiped it on Shen Xinran's face.

As he wiped it, he said nonchalantly, "This ointment isn't as valuable as the one your godfather gave you, but it's also hard-earned. You have to use it sparingly."

Which master would help a young eunuch apply medicine? Sima Yi's approach made Shen Xinran pause, and it also made her more certain of her previous guess that the male protagonist was seducing her!

After taking a deep breath, Shen Xinran took a step back and said seriously, "Master, what I like is women."

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "You don't even have that thing anymore, what's the point of liking women?"

But it didn't take long for him to react. Sima Yi looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of shock. What was going on in this little eunuch's mind!

His expression suddenly darkened, and he threw the cooling cream directly into Shen Xinran's arms, saying with disgust, "Get out!"

Shen Xinran bowed first, then took the cooling ointment and left. When she returned to the room, she suddenly found that the place where Sima Yi had applied the cooling ointment was no longer itchy.

What is this cooling ointment?

It’s more useful than the ointment given by the imperial concubine!

Shen Xinran opened the lid and took a look. He saw that it contained a light green paste with some green juice on the lid. It was obviously made not long ago.

Shen Xinran held the ointment and stood there in a daze. Could it be that the male protagonist poisoned her because her face was itchy?

Touching her face yesterday was poisoning her, and applying the ointment on her today was to prevent her from discovering that the ointment was freshly made.

The more Shen Xinran thought about it, the angrier she got. She had thought this little world had finally welcomed a gentle male protagonist, but she hadn't expected a black sesame dumpling! He'd poisoned her over a disagreement!

As he experienced more and more small worlds, Chen Xinran's understanding of these small worlds became increasingly profound.

She gradually realized that the plot she knew was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire small world.

Because in the plot, it was never mentioned that the male protagonist would poison.

Shen Xinran began to suspect that the complexity of the small world far exceeded her initial imagination. Therefore, she had to be more cautious and not be fooled by superficial phenomena.

At night, the sky is gently covered by a deep blue curtain, and the stars begin to twinkle, like countless crystal clear diamonds, dotted in the vast night sky.

Shen Xinran had already returned to his room, lost in sleep. All around him was quiet, with only the occasional breeze rustling through the leaves, creating a subtle rustling sound.

Suddenly, a dull sound broke the tranquility of the night and woke Shen Xinran from his sleep.

She opened her sleepy eyes, gently pushed open the door, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the muffled sound came from.

Sima Yi was seen dragging a bag bigger than a person to the corner of the wall and setting it on fire.

The firelight reflected on his face, flickering, adding a touch of weirdness to the night.

Shen Xinran vaguely saw a piece of blue cloth, which was exactly the same as the eunuch's clothing she was wearing.

She couldn't help but think of the rude little eunuch this morning, and a terrible thought flashed through her mind: Would the male protagonist really kill that little eunuch?

Shen Xinran was about to leave quietly, but she saw Sima Yi's eyes already on her, accompanied by his chuckle, "So it's you!"
