"Be good, drink it and your heart will not hurt anymore." With that, regardless of whether she agreed or not, he got up and walked to the table to get the bowl of honey and started mixing the honey water very seriously.

She was in so much pain that she no longer had the strength to oppose him.

When a bowl of honey was brought to his lips, he grabbed her chin and drank the honey water without her being able to resist.

Tears flowed down her face as the honey water entered her throat.

In the end, she still drank it.

She couldn't endure the pain in her heart, but she despised herself that much. She really wanted to kill herself. How could she give in so easily?

In her stomach, there was a warm feeling. It was brought to her by the hot honey water, but the heat made her eyelid start to twitch. This time, after drinking the honey water, not only was her whole body soft, but she especially wanted to sleep.

"Ruo Ruo, go to sleep. Tomorrow, don't be afraid." That was the last sentence she heard him say when she was still conscious. After that, she fell completely asleep.

Ruo Ruo slept very, very soundly, just as Mammy had requested. This was the longest sleep she had had since entering the Fragrance Pavilion.

When he woke up, it was already past noon.

"Miss, are you awake? Are you hungry?" The moment she opened her eyes, Cui Er rushed over as if she felt that she had woken up.

Ruo Ruo nodded, "I'm hungry."

"Then let's change clothes first. I'll finish eating the porridge and then busy myself with other things."

These words reminded her of her mission today.

Heavens, today was the eighth day of the new year. Today, she was going to be auctioned off.

That's right, she remembered. She had failed to escape last night. She had been killed by Xi Men Rui Xue … To... Got caught.

"Cui Er, where is your master?" If she could, she would skin him and rip out his tendons.

"I didn't see him. He should have gone back to the palace." But after saying that, Cui Er covered her mouth, but her lips were wide open. She didn't expect that the moment she said it, she would reveal that she was from Xi Men Rui Xue.

"Oh." Ruo Ruo said indifferently, "Help me up." She wanted to try again. She still wanted to run.

Cui Er helped her put on her clothes, and after washing up, Ruo Ruo didn't eat congee, but walked towards the door, "Cui Er, I want to pick a lotus flower."

It was a lotus flower that came out of the mud, unstained by dirt. On this day, she only wanted to be the lotus flower in the Fragrance Pavilion. Not only was it beautiful, it was also — clean.

"Miss, this …" Cui'er wanted to stop her.

If she didn't care about it, she would walk straight to the door. She didn't want to miss even the slightest bit of hope.

However, when he opened the door, he found that there were more than a dozen people standing guard in the yard like tigers staring at their prey.

One of her feet did not hesitate as she stepped out of the door. In front of her, an old wet nurse suddenly said, "Miss, it's almost noon. Today is your wedding day, so you should stay in the room and fix your makeup."

If she truly wanted to curse, what joyous day was that? Wasn't she going to sell her off and make her serve a man? She even spoke in a pleasant tone and endured her anger as she said, "I'm going to pick a lotus."

The old nanny took a step forward and then blessed herself. "Miss, this old one will go and pick them. This old one promises that I will make you like them."

"You …" She really wanted to hit him, but with so many pairs of eyes watching her, she really wasn't used to it.

"Hurry up." With a low shout, she no longer wanted to see the people in the courtyard. Most likely, they were people sent by Yun Ru Xi, their goal was to prevent her from escaping, so that she could become a laughingstock among the citizens of Xi Jin City.

He then turned around and walked back into the room, "Cui Er, close the door." She did not want to see the empress's people. She did not want to see any of them.

Cui Er obediently closed the door. After hearing the creaking sound, the room became even quieter.

"Cui Er, close the window."

"Alright."

Suddenly, the doors and windows in the room were tightly shut, but Ruo Ruo, who was sitting in the room, still couldn't sit still.

She really couldn't escape now.

"Miss, you should eat something. Otherwise, you won't have much strength."

"Fine." If she agreed, she didn't want to go against her own body. The people would eat like the heavens, and only after eating would they become healthy.

Ye Zichen picked up the bowl of porridge on the table and dawdled. She didn't want to try it on, nor did she want to put on makeup, but she finished the bowl of porridge in the end.

"Miss, please have another bowl."

"No, let's begin." Reaching out her hand, she waited for Cui Er to undress her. Using her toes to think, she knew that the first step in grooming was to let her bathe first.

"Miss, please sit for a while and read some books. I will have someone bring water for you so that you can bathe."

"Alright." She frowned. Her life was in such a miserable state. She hadn't even received any great fortune after being transported here. In the blink of an eye, she had become a prostitute in this brothel. How could she be willing to do that?

Cui Er was smart, she first handed the book to her, then she went to get some water.

He held the book in his hand, but what he heard was the sound of buckets of water being poured down.

Soon, the room was filled with the scent of water, followed by the fragrance of flowers. The smell was like the fragrance of orchids.

"Miss, it's done. You can undress now." Cui'er walked around the screen towards her.

Ruo Ruo stretched out her hand again. "As you wish. Take it off."

Cui'er really did take off her clothes for her. Luckily, there was only Cui'er and her in the room, otherwise, she would definitely blush so much that her face would be as red as her neck. How could a girl like her get onto the auction stage?

One by one, her clothes fell to the ground. This was the first thing she had to do before the auction.

The coat.

Wiping the chest.

When the underpants finally fell, in the room, she stood in front of the wooden barrel empty-handed. She was so shy that she subconsciously used her hands to block it. The hair on her body had been removed, and she couldn't imagine a man's expression when he saw her.

However, she knew that on this night, all of her possessions would be for a man to see …

"Lady, you are so beautiful." Cui Er sighed in admiration.

Beautiful?

It sounded like a type of sarcasm, but this beauty was about to become her humiliation.

Clenching her teeth, she gently stepped into the water.

When her body was instantly covered by the water, her eyes were already filled with mist.

Second Brother, why didn't you come and save her?

Was she going to end everything she had tonight?

Leaning on the edge of the barrel, she really wanted to sleep. She really wanted to never wake up again. That way, she wouldn't have to face the upcoming embarrassment and pain.
