It was a summer day, but she felt a little cold sitting here.

He hugged his knees as he thought about how Ximen Ruixue might be tasting tea with the elegant and beautiful Empress and Ximen Rui Wu in the Martial Imperial Manor. He thought about how angry she was and wished that she knew how to use martial arts and that she could flay Ximen Ruixue's skin.

Cold.

And black.

In the silence of the night, there was a rustling sound. Ruoruo listened attentively, and the first thought that came to her mind was that a nanny would come in and give her needles. Thinking about it, her entire body was trembling.

The door of the darkroom opened, and four or five mama came in at once.

One of them was the two who had escorted her into the dark room. She knew without a doubt that they were the empress's men.

"Qin Zhiruo, do you realize your wrongs?"

She shook her head. She had just gone into the Fragrant Pavilion to listen to a tune, so she hadn't done anything indecent.

"Come on, needle." When the senior servant saw her shake her head, she instructed the senior servant behind her in a stern voice.

"Hey, can you change the pattern? This, it's really cliché." Ruo Ruo said without thinking. Why did she do what she wanted? How tragic.

"Which one does Third Miss Qin like? "Are you drowning, or are you dripping candles, or …"

"Hey, I'm the future wangfei of the Third Marquis. Who gave you the authority to treat me like this?" Wasn't she going to be the Martial Imperial Consort? Regardless of whether she was useful or not, she would first use it.

However, it was useless. She did not care whether she wanted to marry Xi Men Rui Wu or not. "I have the right to judge you just because you went to the Fragrant Pavilion. Come on, since she doesn't want the punishment, then she'll have to be punished."

After the first mama finished speaking, two of the mama immediately went to greet Ruo Ruo.

Ruo Ruo tried her best to retreat, but her body soon slammed into the cold wall behind her.

Her wrist was instantly lifted. When her sleeve was lifted, she didn't even get to see what was in the wet nurse's hand before the needle went 'whoosh'. It only made her feel a heart-wrenching pain …

Opening her mouth, Ruo Ruo desperately bit at the mama's wrist. That torture was really painful.

It was more painful than he had imagined.

"Ah …" With a howl, she succeeded. This bite caused blood to flow out of the nanny's arm.

"Someone, stuff your mouth into this little bitch's mouth, I'll stab you to death …"

Two more mama came up and firmly pressed onto her, not allowing her to move. Immediately afterwards, the steel needles pierced into her arms one after another, before she lifted her clothes on her back.

Her nakedness made her want to die from embarrassment. However, these mama weren't people who cared for the fairer sex. They probably hated her for being more beautiful than them, so they kept torturing her.

Soon, not a single piece of her clothes remained. Every part of her body was in extreme pain, but she could neither scream nor resist.

Her gaze was fixed on the head of the group of senior servants. She was the one who had brought these people here.

Was he trying to kill her?

He had done it.

It turned out that he had saved her in order to torture her to death.

"What are you looking at, you little slut?" The mama seemed to be a little flustered by her cold gaze. She walked over and slapped Zhiruo in the face.

There was a burning pain, and blood was seeping out from the corner of his lips.

However, she continued to stare coldly at that mama. She was afraid to look, so she insisted on looking. As long as she had a breath left, she would open her eyes and look at that mama like that.

Her continued gaze angered the mama. "Someone, bring in the pail. I want this little bitch to know who is in charge of this palace."

Ruo Ruo's mind boomed. She had just received the needle, and countless needles of varying sizes pierced her body. If she were to be thrown into the water now, it would make her heart ache. These people were even more vicious than Senior Servant Rong.

It might have been a wooden bucket that had been prepared long ago. Thus, as soon as the mama finished speaking, someone came in from outside the darkroom with a wooden bucket.

Ruo Ruo was forced to stand in front of the wooden barrel by the two mama.

In the candlelight, a faint wisp of smoke floated over from the edge of the wooden barrel. It was actually suffused with a dense coldness.

Not good. Water with ice on it.

If she was thrown in, she would die from the pain if she wasn't frozen to death.

Her two arms were struggling, she wanted to break free of the two mama's grasp. She didn't want to die yet, she still needed to wear it back. She really didn't like this place where there was no TV, no computer, and no TV.

"Aiyo, look. Is this little bitch scared?" The mama walked in front of her and raised her chin in a very gentle manner. "True Water Spirit, tell me, are you going to go to the Fragrant Pavilion and secretly learn the methods of those foxy men?" He reached out and took the cloth from her mouth, probably to hear what she would say.

"Pah …" "If I were to become an imperial concubine, the first person I would kill would be you." Saying this, she wanted to have her own prestige and dignity.

He didn't even wipe her face, only spitting out the saliva on her face as he smiled sinisterly at Ruo Ruo, "If you want to kill me, that's fine. But, you have to go to hell to dream about killing me, hahaha."

With a grin, he waved his hand and shouted, "Throw her inside and hold her head down. Don't let her out."

Just like that, her body was lifted up into the air. When she was thrown into the water naked and devoid of anything, the ice-cold water was indeed bone-chilling, and what awaited her was the hands above her head.

Thinking of the person who had suggested sending her to the dark room, she silently said in her heart: "Xi Men Rui Xue, I hate you."

Cold.

Pain.

And the cold water that kept running down his throat.

She was going to die.

But she wanted to live.

The hands on top of her head kept pressing down on her. Aren't they afraid that if she dies, then there will be another ghost that will try to take their lives at night?

Another mouthful of water.

Ruo Ruo's aura was already in disarray, and her consciousness was gradually becoming unclear.

She was really going to die.

In a trance, a melodious female voice floated by his ear. The clear and gentle voice was the clearest contrast to everything in this dark room.

"Let her go."

There was only gentleness in the room, but it was these three words that caused the nuns in the darkroom to stop immediately.

With a plop, the mama let go of Ruo Ruo's hand and knelt on the ground. "Good luck to Aunt Mustard."

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.
