Chapter 197 The Third Prince’s Dark Moonlight Eunuch 34
The afternoon sun shone through the carved window lattices, casting patches of light on Sima Yi's desk.
After he finished dealing with today's political affairs, his eyes fell on Fushou and he sighed, "You eunuchs, your life is not easy either."
Fu Shou is now the head of the Imperial Household Department, and his life is not as difficult as outsiders think.
So, he smiled slightly and replied respectfully: "It is my life's fortune to have met such a wise ruler as Your Majesty."
Sima Yi suddenly became curious and asked Fushou, "If you have hemorrhoids, what do you usually do?"
Fushou was stunned, confusion showing on his face: "Hemorrhoids?"
Sima Yi explained: "Don't you eunuchs bleed every month?"
Fushou's face instantly turned red, "Your Majesty has misunderstood, eunuchs don't bleed, only women..."
As Fu Shou finished speaking, Sima Yi's face darkened instantly. He stood up suddenly and strode towards the side hall.
At this time, Shen Xinran was lying on the bed, reading the storybook she borrowed from the palace maid.
Sima Yi suddenly rushed in, scaring her so much that she quickly hid the storybook under her pillow.
She frowned and asked in confusion, "Master, what's the matter?"
"You are a woman!" Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, and there was only bottomless darkness in his eyes.
Shen Xinran's eyes widened instantly. How did Sima Yi suddenly discover this?
Sima Yi pressed on, his voice trembling: "So, you have been deceiving me all along."
Your gender is fake, your family background is fake, so what else do you have that is real?
The most important thing is, what was the point of his struggles over the past few years? He thought he really fell in love with a little eunuch!
Sima Yi's eyes were filled with anger, as if he wanted to devour Shen Xinran.
Shen Xinran could only keep retreating, his voice trembling: "Master, you need to calm down."
Sima Yi took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I'll calm down. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to explain."
Shen Xinran's eyes flashed. Since Zhao Muya was unwilling to tell Sima Yi about her identity, why didn't she tell him herself? She would die sooner or later anyway, so the sooner she died, the sooner she would be reborn!
So, Shen Xinran stood up from the bed and said seriously: "To tell you the truth, I am actually a princess of the previous dynasty. My mission is-" to assassinate you!
But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Sima Yi's sneer, "If you are a princess of the previous dynasty, then I am the Jade Emperor!"
Shen Xinran was stunned. She jumped off the bed and said seriously, "I really am a princess of the previous dynasty."
Sima Yi thought: I told him she was a fairy last night, and today she said she was a princess. Do you really think he is a fool?
He looked at Shen Xinran with a dark face, "It's come to this point, and you still want to deceive me!"
Shen Xinran rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Then I'm a hermaphrodite, is that okay?" She was really angry! She told the truth, but Sima Yi didn't believe it.
Sima Yi frowned and asked in confusion, "What is a hermaphrodite?"
Shen Xinran explained seriously, "Some people are born with two genders, and as adults they can choose to undergo surgery to determine their gender."
Sima Yi's eyes showed surprise: "How can such a person exist in the world?"
Shen Xinran nodded and continued to talk nonsense: "Yes, but this situation is very rare, probably only one in a hundred thousand people."
Sima Yi nodded thoughtfully: "So you left two years ago to find a doctor for surgery?"
Shen Xinran was stunned, and looked at Sima Yi with a hint of shock.
She told him she was a princess of the previous dynasty, but he didn't believe her. But when she said she was hermaphrodite, he believed her!
She couldn't help but wonder if Sima Yi was too naive!
But Shen Xinran knew that Sima Yi couldn't be blamed entirely. After all, he had lived alone in the cold palace since he was ten years old, and no one had taught him about matters between men and women.
Shen Xinran patted Sima Yi's shoulder and said seriously, "Congratulations, you guessed it right."
…
There is a special bathhouse for eunuchs to take a bath. When Shen Xinran was in the cold palace, he was used to fetching water and taking a bath in the toilet by himself.
After returning to the palace, Fushou was already the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. With the support of Fushou, Shen Xinran had her own private bathroom.
As night fell, she packed her clothes and prepared to take a shower.
But on the way to the bathhouse, she felt like someone was following her. She turned around, but saw only the dark night and silence.
Did he meet a pervert? Shen Xinran's pace quickened involuntarily, and his heartbeat also accelerated.
After turning a corner, she picked up a wooden stick from the ground and hid in the shadows. When the footsteps got closer, she gripped the stick tightly and knocked down.
"Hiss!" A familiar scream pierced the night sky. Shen Xinran looked closely and found that it was Sima Yi.
Shen Xinran hastily threw away the stick and tried to cover it with leaves. "Master, why is it you?"
Sima Yi covered his injured head and said through gritted teeth: "You are so cruel!"
Shen Xinran's eyes widened. "Who told you to follow me secretly? I thought you were a bad guy!"
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Sima Yi, and asked: "Master, why are you following me?"
Sima Yi's momentum instantly weakened, "I just want to know how you are different from other women now."
Sima Yi took time out in the afternoon to visit the Imperial Hospital because of Shen Xinran's matter.
The imperial physicians were very interested in Shen Xinran's condition and said they had never seen such a strange person.
The imperial doctors told Sima Yi that after the operation, intersex people would be weaker than ordinary people and must be well taken care of.
Therefore, Sima Yi wanted to take a look at Shen Xinran's body, go back and continue to communicate with the imperial doctors, and come up with a good recuperation plan.
Shen Xinran was speechless for a moment. What emperor would peek at a eunuch taking a bath in the middle of the night?
Sima Yi cautiously pressed the issue, "So, are you any different from other women now?"
Shen Xinran rolled his eyes, "Nothing is different."
Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief. That was all right. But before long, he frowned again. "But I feel like your breasts aren't as big as the other palace maids. Was your surgery... unsuccessful? Do you need me to find a royal physician to take another look?"
Shen Xinran was about to explode with rage. Ahhhh, how dare he say her breasts were small? She gritted her teeth at Sima Yi and said, "No need, my surgery was a success!"
Well, when Cao Qingyan was a eunuch, in order to avoid being discovered, she always wore a chest binder, which restricted the development of her breasts.
In addition, I do some heavy work from time to time, and my menstrual period is irregular. But is this something that can be said to others?
Perhaps seeing that Shen Xinran's expression was not right, Sima Yi added: "Don't be sad, it still feels very good."
Shen Xinran was so angry that her eyelids twitched and the corners of her mouth twitched. She began to regret why she didn't beat him to death with a stick just now!
What Shen Xinran didn't know was that the joke she made in the afternoon had already spread widely in the Imperial Hospital and even became a case.
