Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

"Don't be sad. Xiaoliu has no room for others in his heart. It's just that He Zhao must marry Yanyun. This is his mission." Fang Yian seemed to be deliberately comforting me, and his tone of voice softened a lot.

I shook my head. "I know, so I'm not sad, just angry. Yanyun was already lawless when she was a princess, and the law couldn't control her. Even if she was responsible for a death, she could just let it go so easily. Even if she was stripped of her princess title, she could still get a marriage... This is really unfair!"

"The emperor's mind is hard to predict. His Majesty must have his reasons for making such arrangements. He also has to consider the overall situation of the court. What do you, a little girl, know? Don't say such things again in the future." Fang Yian pressed his palm on the top of my head, and his tone was not harsh.

I don't understand the exchange or transaction between powers, but the fire during the Lantern Festival really killed so many people, but the culprit easily found a scapegoat and got away with it. The law has become a tool in their eyes, just to control the ignorant fools.

This kind of world is really suffocating, and I am like a leaf stuck in a whirlpool. When I encounter danger, I have no way out and can only pray for help from others. If no one comes to save me, won’t I just wait for death in despair?

Seeing that I was lost in my own thoughts and didn't speak for a long time, Fang Yian changed the subject, "Aren't you hungry? I'll have someone prepare some food for you."

I came back to my senses after hearing his words, and looked out the window at the moonlight. "It's so late, everyone should go to bed, don't bother, I can just find some leftovers to make do with it."

Fang Yian had already stood up and was about to leave. While casually tying up her hair, she turned around and glanced at me. "Leftovers? If you tell others, they'll think I'm abusing you. Besides, the food in my Hanzhang Academy is famously good. Where did the leftovers come from?"

But in the end, he did not wake up the eunuch who was already asleep to start the fire. Instead, he cooked a bowl of sugar water for me himself and added two poached eggs.

The process is simple, but the taste is good. I picked up the bowl with my bandaged fingers and drank up all the remaining soup at the bottom of the bowl.

"You eat it so cleanly, it seems my cooking skills have not gotten rusty. I haven't been in the kitchen for many years." He looked at the bottom of the bowl that was as smooth as new, and seemed to feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Master Butler. It suits my taste very well."

"I heard that your biological mother is from Cangnan, and you lived in Cangnan since you were a child. You are used to this kind of sweet taste, right?"

What he said were all Shen Xingye's original habits. People in Cangnan like spicy food and consume a lot of oil and salt, but I am not like that. I can't even eat spicy food.

"Tastes change, too." I smiled and didn't intend to continue the topic. "I'm full and a little sleepy."

Fang Yian stood up from opposite me, picking up the empty wooden bucket and going to fetch water.

I was surprised and asked, "What is this going to happen, Lord Manager?"

"I'll boil some hot water for you. Don't you always wash up before going to bed? Can't you use cold water?"

For a moment, I was too shocked to know what to say, but his movements were smooth, as if he was used to doing the job. I wanted to do some small things on the side, but he stopped me and said, "Wait in the house. Don't move these things. If they get dirty, you will have to take them apart and reapply medicine after you take them apart."

So, when I saw the eunuch chief bringing me hot water, I felt indescribably strange and kept staring at his hands.

"It is only because you are injured that you have this honor. The only person in the palace who I can serve is the one sitting on the throne."

I blushed slightly as he wrung out the towel and carefully wiped my cheeks and neck. When the remaining hot water was used to wash my feet, he even made a move to help me take off my shoes. I was so anxious that I quickly stopped him, "No, no! I can do it myself!"

"Are you shy? Aren't you going to call me godfather? What's there to be shy about between father and daughter?" He smiled frankly.

After removing my shoes and socks, it was indeed relaxing to soak my feet in the hot water, but it would have been better if there hadn't been a eunuch squatting at my feet.

"The wound on your knee has healed well and has formed a scab. Don't scratch it because you're itchy." His eyes fell on his calf.

I wondered in my heart, maybe because he was a eunuch, he didn't care much about the difference between men and women, which made me look petty. I tried to calm myself down and nodded to agree with his instructions.

Then he stood up and walked to the outer room. I couldn't help but say, "Master Manager, tonight, I will sleep outside and you can sleep inside."

I have seen the Luohan bed before. The mattress on it is very thin. Sleeping on it is definitely not as comfortable as sleeping on a bed. I can't be so shameless as to occupy someone else's big bed.

He turned back and looked at me. "I was just going to get some things. I didn't say I would sleep outside. Besides, your current situation is special, and it's not suitable for you to sleep outside alone. How do you sleep?"

"Uh...it should be fine."

"Well, then you sleep inside and I'll sleep outside."

Only then did I understand that he meant that he would sleep on this bed tonight, even though the bed was big enough for four people, let alone two. It was not until everything was ready and I lay down that I realized that my heart was still beating like a drum, my mind was full of messy things, and I had no desire to sleep at all.

After a while, Fang Yian came in from outside. He had changed his clothes and his white hair was loose again. He lay down next to me with his clothes on, at least one foot away from me.

He must have just gone outside to wash up, and there was still a faint fragrance on his body. The lights were off, and in the dim light I turned my head quietly and could only see his upright outline, as if he had his eyes closed. In total, he was the third man I had slept with since I came into this world, if eunuchs were considered men.

Before, Situ Jue insisted on acting with me. When he lay beside me, I felt nothing in my heart. I just felt a little annoyed that my bed was divided in half. When I shared the bed with He Zhao, I had no time to think about other things. I always fell asleep exhausted.

The relationship between us is not that close, but it is very subtle. The other party should not have any discrimination between men and women, so in comparison, my heart seems a little dirty. Seeing that he was motionless as if he had fallen into a light sleep, I simply turned my face to the side and looked at his appearance in the dim light. I couldn't help but feel a little curious, what is the body of a eunuch like?

The one-foot space between us is like a restricted area that must not be touched or crossed.

My mind was already uncontrollably full of random thoughts. What kind of person is Fang Yian? Sometimes he is sinister and scary, and sometimes he is gentle and delicate. I really can't tell. Is he doing me such a small favor just to tie He Zhao down so that he can continue to serve in the Imperial Dragon Guard? Also, is his white hair natural?

As my thoughts were flowing, I suddenly found that my hand had reached out without permission and touched a strand of hair beside his pillow. When I regained consciousness, the white hair was still entangled in my fingers.

Oh my god, what am I doing? What's wrong with this hand? I'm going crazy!

Just as I was anxiously spreading his hair and trying to retract my hand, I heard his muffled voice, "Can't you sleep? Do you need my help?"
