At first, there seemed to be footsteps outside the cabin. But as night fell, the footsteps also stopped.
He was feeling sleepy, but the coldness around him made him not know how to sleep. It would be terrible if he accidentally got infected by the cold.
While he was daydreaming, three loud bangs sounded from afar. It was already late in the morning.
Ruo Ruo tried to stand up and move her body so that she wouldn't shiver from the cold.
It was so quiet that only his own breathing and footsteps could be heard.
Suddenly, the door rang.
Although it was only a slight hit, it was enough for him to hear it.
Subconsciously, he whispered, "Who is it?"
The door opened first. "Shh …" Cui Er's soft voice came over, it sounded really warm.
"Cui'er."
Cui Er's figure flashed in and she carefully closed the door, "Miss, it's cold. I've brought you a blanket."
"Will anyone find out?" Ruo Ruo looked warily behind Cui Er.
"No, I've checked the acupoints of those people outside the door. They won't wake up until tomorrow morning, so before they wake up, I'll come to collect the quilts." Cui Er smiled and said, and then with a wave of her hand, she placed the blanket on Ruo Ruo's chest.
It was so warm that it was soft. Just hugging her body caused her to feel less cold, "Cui'er, thank you." It was said that adversity allows truth, and now that she knew, the person who truly cared for her was Cui Er.
"Miss, Cui'er can't help you, so you can only worry about her in the Palace." Miss, Cui'er can't help you, so you can only worry about her in the Palace.
"No need." If Xi Men Rui Xue had not saved her, Cui'er would not have been able to fight against Yun Ru Jing with her abilities. If that was the case, Cui'er would not have been implicated.
"Miss, are you not feeling well?" Hearing Ruo Ruo's weak voice, Cui Er caressed her forehead with concern.
"It's nothing, it's just a little cold. It's much better to carry the blanket you brought me now. Cui Er, hurry and go, don't let others find out. If the empress punishes you again, it'll be Ruo Ruo's fault."
"Mm, this is for you. I'll leave then. I'll come back for the blanket before daybreak." She stretched out her hand and handed it over like a small porcelain bottle.
"What?" Inadvertently, he took it and lowered his head to take a whiff. A faint fragrance assaulted his nostrils.
"It's something a sister of mine gave me. It's easy to use now. Spread it on your face and it won't hurt anymore."
"Hehe, that sister of yours is really nice. If I am able to get out alive one day, I will definitely thank her properly in front of her face."
"Miss, this palace is a place where people eat people. In everything that can be endured, try your best to endure it. As long as you are alive, there will be a time when the clouds have cleared."
"Alright, I understand." She understood, but she could not help but fight against Yun Ru Jing, but she alone could not defeat Yun Ru Jing and her bunch of servants, or, if she was too strong, she would not have to endure so much suffering as long as she was sensible.
"Miss, I'm leaving, take care."
"Alright, be careful." Feeling worried, he watched as Cui Er flashed to the front of the door again, then disappeared from her sight. Shaking his head, he realised that she was alone again.
Ye Zichen hugged the blanket, while his body was still shaking. Although it was a bit warm, it wasn't something that could be warmed up immediately.
It was so loud, this kind of autumn was better than the silence and loneliness. Gradually, her body warmed up, and Ruo Ruo opened the small porcelain bottle, her fingers touched the soft ointment, and the entire wooden house was filled with the fragrance.
He dipped his finger in the water and gently applied it to his face. It first hurt, but soon after the pain subsided. It seemed like this was a good thing. Cui'er's sisters were truly good.
The faces on both sides were painted one by one. After only a short while, the pain passed. She hugged the blanket and fell asleep. The night was finally over, and because of the quilt and ointment, she was able to simmer in the cabin.
When he woke up, he was awakened by the sound of the wooden door opening, but it was not Cui Er. He quickly looked for the blanket and let out a sigh of relief. Cui Er had already come and took the blanket away.
"Qin Zhiruo, come with us." With a single glance, one could tell that she was a wicked woman.
"Has Yun Ru Jing come? Heh heh, what tricks is she up to this time? "
"Should Yun Rujing be called out by you? "It seems like you haven't enjoyed your slap last night, right?" They were all Yun Ru Jing's people, so they were naturally all here to help her.
"What else could she do but torture me? Was her act a queen's act? She is not worthy of being queen at all. " Since she was being bullied by Yun Ru Jing, she might as well go all out with Yun Ru Jingjing. Sooner or later, she would return whatever she suffered to Yun Ru Jing.
Kindness recompense, evil retribution, it was not that he did not want to repay her, it was just that the time had not come yet. Yun Rujing would definitely have her retribution.
"Let's see if you still dare to be stubborn when you reach the Empress's place. This torture chamber is no ordinary place. The tiger stool, the chili concoction, and even the pig cage are all waiting for your punishment. Qin Zhiruo, let's see if you dare to be stubborn when you're about to die." As the mama spoke, she rushed over and dragged her away.
As soon as she left the wooden house, she couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands under the blinding sunlight. It was so bright, she was dragged along the bluestone path by that mama, with eunuchs and palace maids watching every few steps, but no one was willing to speak up for her.
The distance from the wooden house to the Discipline Hall wasn't that far, but Ruo Ruo felt like the distance left her feeling uncomfortable. This was because this time, the mama who dragged her along had put her entire body on the ground, forcefully pulling her hair forward.
Every tug the mama made her forehead break out in cold sweat, and she tenaciously pulled on her hair. Otherwise, a large amount of her long hair would have fallen to the ground long ago.
She couldn't bear to part with it. After turning into Qin Zhiruo, her appearance was still secondary, and what she liked the most was that head of long hair. When she was finally dragged into the hall of the Discipline Hall, at the carved purple sandalwood square table in front of her, Yun Lujing was holding a teacup and casually staring at her direction.
"Kneel." With a shout, Yun Ru Jing's servants were also despicable.
She did not kneel, nor did she kneel no matter what. She was originally dragged in while she was lying down, but at this moment, she was still lying on the ground.
"Esteemed Empress sure is hardworking. She rushed over so early in the morning, if she accidentally slipped, then she wouldn't even be able to hold a dragon in her womb anymore, haha." This was her greatest weakness. What she wanted the most now was to be able to bear that bastard's child, Xi Men Rui Xue.
"It's a pity that I didn't dodge. I'm perfectly fine now." As Yun Ru Jing said, she actually stood up and slowly walked towards Ruo Ruo. She bent down and said fiercely in front of Ruo Ruo.
Yun Ru Jing was so close to him, so close that he could touch her as long as he reached out his hand. Taking advantage of this opportunity, if she knew, she would have to give it a try, move her hand towards Yun Ru Jing's wrist, and then quickly press the button on the watch, light up, start moving, this way, Yun Ru Jing would definitely be afraid. But when she thought of this in her heart, she felt guilty, because the watch might not be powered up.
Closing her eyes, she could only hope that the heavens would give her a miracle. If she missed such a good opportunity, it would never happen again.
As long as his watch lit up and moved around, everything else would be easy.
Just as Ruo Ruo was praying with her eyes closed, Yun Ru suddenly cried out in surprise, "Ah, why is it light, it's starting to move."
"Haha, it will explode. At that time, your body will be smashed into smithereens." If he were to say it on purpose, then this woman should scare her.
"True... will it really explode? " As she asked in shock, Yun Ru Jing was scared.
"Of course, you see, there are numbers on it. Those numbers tell you when the explosion happened." Just treat this watch as a fake time bomb, since it would only be for a short period of time.
"I... I don't want it. " Yun Ru Jing's face immediately turned pale as she quickly took off her watch and threw it in front of Ruo Ruo.
Ruo Ruo picked it up happily. The heavens were helping her. Unexpectedly, her watch suddenly glowed with electricity. "The empress is really wise. Ruo Ruo admires you." He quickly put on a high hat for Yun Ru. No matter what, he couldn't let her realize that he was doing this on purpose. Then this watch definitely wouldn't return to her hands.
At this moment, the pain in her body made her want to run away. However, it was a pity that she left just like that. The treasures she was going to take with her were not with her.
"Qin Zhiruo, you lied to me." Yun Ru Jing reacted in time as she reached out to snatch the watch from Ruo Ruo's hand.
He finally got it. Ruo Ruo didn't want to put it down at all. She didn't know where she got the strength to get up and run to the main entrance. She had to run, she had to run.
"Take them down." Behind him, Yun Ru Jing had already guessed that she had been tricked, and quickly warned her servants who were guarding outside the door.
The few of them rushed towards Ruo Ruo, but they were so close. Just as they were about to leave without bringing anything with them, they were already controlled by the two mama.
Ruo Ruo's face paled. She knew that she wouldn't be able to escape this calamity. When she was brought before Yun Rujing again, Ruo Ruo smiled. "Empress, do you know why this watch avoids evil?" He was stalling for time. The minute he could delay was the minute, so why would he miss out on a single crime?
