Zhiruo, who was still breathing, subconsciously held onto the edge of the bucket. When she leaned against the barrel while panting heavily, her entire body trembled.

"Pull her out." It was still a gentle female voice, so soft that water seemed to drip from it.

"Yes." The mama was no longer as fierce as before. She was as obedient as a sheep, as if she had been reborn. Even the mama in the lead was waiting respectfully, not daring to utter a single word in front of Aunt Musty.

Her cold, wet body was carried out of the wooden bucket by the two mama. Although she was weak, she still tried her best to glance at the soft-spoken girl, but the scene before her was a blur. She couldn't see anything clearly, she only knew that the girl was slim like a flower.

An aunt of the palace.

Ruo Ruo was placed on the cold wet floor of the dark room. A figure crouched before her.

Although the figure blocked the candlelight, it still brought her warmth.

His arm was held by the warm hand of the girl. That grip caused his teeth to tremble as if they were in pain.

"Does it hurt?" It was still a soft female voice.

Ruo Ruo opened her mouth and said after a while, "Pain." But it was a very soft voice. "Needle, they …" "Needle …" She didn't know if this girl could save her, but she wanted to live. However, once she said the last word, she no longer had any strength left. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

In a trance, she took off all her wet clothes, and then her ice-cold body was wrapped in a blanket.

That night, I don't know if I slept in the dark room or somewhere else.

However, when she woke up, she was covered by a soft blanket and her body was covered in brocade silk. The light muslin curtain was half lit up and the incense was half burnt. She tried to move, but she couldn't, and other than pain, there was only pain all over her body.

"Ari, the medicine is here."

Ruo Ruo remembered who that soft female voice was. It was the woman who saved her when she was on the verge of death.

"Mo'er, you've been tired all night. You can go sleep now. Just leave this place to me."

"Larry..." "This …" The woman seemed slightly unwilling.

"Go on, look at you, you have dark circles under your eyes."

"Alright, then I'll go take a nap. When I wake up later, I'll come and take your place."

"Mm, let's go to sleep."

Ruo Ruo immediately heard the rustling sound of the woman as she left.

The room quieted down as Xi Men Rui Xue's aura became stronger and stronger.

If she felt his aura, she would even know that he was lifting the blanket off her body. However, she couldn't move nor speak.

The quilt moved away, revealing her delicate white neck, then her slender shoulders, and as it went on, it was her two bulges.

It revealed itself in the man's eyes without any concealment.

Her heart thumped rapidly, but she was powerless to resist the man's actions. She could only allow herself to be seen in his eyes.

She felt embarrassed and her heart was in a mess.

It was panic.

It was chaos.

Still shameful.

Endless panic was spreading on every inch of her skin at this moment, but she did not know that this moment of panic had already moistened her skin, making it appear as gentle and beautiful as the billowing waves of water.

A refreshing fragrance quickly wafted around the room. Following which, the fragrance moved to her shoulders and gently spread to her skin. It was the medicine left behind by the woman he called Mo'er.

Her needle wound, was it heavy?

Yes, it should be heavy, because she couldn't move.

Not only was she unable to move, her entire body was burning with pain. However, where his finger landed, the pain immediately faded away and she also felt a lot more comfortable.

At first, it was just a normal application of medicine. This book was nothing much, but in the modern world, there were even surgical male doctors who performed surgery on women. That way, they wouldn't be able to see everything.

However, now that it was Xi Men Ruoxue, she felt very uncomfortable. She was in the palace right now, and not only was there Aunt Mustard, who had just left, there should also be other maids in the palace. There was no need for him, a man, and also a Crown Prince, to apply medicine for her.

She really wanted to shout and stop him, but she couldn't.

He smeared the ointment on her chest evenly. That strike didn't seem to have any desires, and every strike that was neither light nor heavy contained the same amount of force.

However, if she wanted to find a hole to hide in, then she would be Third Brother's future concubine. If he looked at her naked body like that, how was she going to marry Xi Men Rui Wu in the future?

However, his fingers just unyieldingly smeared it, and it also burned her face until it was as pink as rouge.

From his chest to his lower abdomen, he turned her body over, her bare and delicate back was in his eyes. On her back was where most of the needles had been pierced, so when he attacked, he felt a bit heavier, as if he wanted to seep the ointments into the needles one by one.

The refreshing feeling made her feel much better, and the pain continued to decrease.

She wanted to open her eyes, but she was afraid to.

Ximen Ruixue. Sometimes, he was really bad, but sometimes, he was also really good.

She didn't know what to do with him when she was able to see what she could say.

It wasn't his first time seeing her body. He had already seen everything when he saved her. Even the antidote was personally given to her by him.

Thinking of this, her heart unconsciously jumped.

The heartbeat sounded as if it were competing with the finger he had drugged.

Fortunately, all the needles were on her upper body. Otherwise, if his gaze fell on her lower body, she would never dare to see him again.

When the medicine was finally finished, his fingers left like a gentleman.

Ruo Ruo felt as though her skin was covered with layers of scabs, giving her a hard feeling.

It didn't hurt. It really didn't hurt anymore.

The medicine miraculously cured the sequelae left by the needle wound.

However, she was still completely powerless.

"Does it hurt?" Suddenly, his voice was in her ears, and his lips seemed to be very, very close to hers.

Although she was no longer in pain, she was still powerless. She opened her mouth, wanting to tell him what she felt now. However, she was still unable to speak.

The blanket was pulled up, covering her bare chest and lower abdomen. She thought that her 'sentence' had ended, but just as she let out a sigh of relief, Xi Men Rui Xue actually reached under her neck and waist. With a light hug, her bare back was lying in the crook of his arm.
