Chapter 857 The Goddess Has a Golden Finger
The young man who was running towards them was called Rong Xing. His name and surname were both given by Rong Yu.
When a terrible plague hit the south, he was a wandering orphan with no one to protect him, and was thrown directly into the pile of dead bodies.
Just when he was in despair, Rong Yu came and found him among a pile of dead bodies. She saved him and kept him by her side, giving him a new identity and name.
Nowadays, even the nobles in the royal capital know that there is a young master named Xing in Prince Jing’s mansion who is as close to Prince Jing as a brother.
Rong Xing arrived late this time. As soon as he arrived, he heard that Rong Yu was injured and poisoned, so he hurried over.
Originally, he only had Rongyu in his eyes, but when he walked past Li, he suddenly stopped.
"Are you the goddess?"
Rong Xing turned around, looked Shi Li up and down, and his words were full of hostility.
"Since you are a goddess, how could you not have predicted that His Highness would be assassinated? Are you in cahoots with those people?"
Shi Li: ...
When she encountered such a rude boy, she did not tolerate him and directly retorted: "Don't throw dirty water on me, speak with evidence, or I will sue..."
She spoke it off the cuff and almost mentioned that Modern was suing for defamation and sending a lawyer's letter, but luckily she came to her senses and stopped herself in the end.
Rong Xing didn't expect Shi Li to refute her. He choked, snorted coldly, and ran to the white-haired doctor, asking about Rong Yu's current condition.
According to the doctor, the dagger was coated with an extremely strong poison. If Rongyu couldn't survive tonight, his life would be in danger.
Even if he manages to survive tonight, the poison may damage his lungs and affect Rongyu's ability to lead troops in future battles.
As soon as this was said, everyone present fell silent.
King Jing Rongyu is now like a god of war in the hearts of the people of the world. If he cannot go to the battlefield in the future, then...
"I have a risky method here. If used correctly, Your Highness may have no worries in the future."
Seeing the depressing atmosphere, the old doctor raised his hand to touch his beard and chose his words carefully.
His method can be summed up in two words - bloodletting to remove toxins.
This method is really dangerous. If the timing of bleeding is not controlled, it may directly cost Rong Yu's life.
Shi Li was horrified as she listened to this, and once again regretted having used the golden finger so carelessly today, otherwise it would not have been so useless here.
After listening to the old doctor's suggestion, Rong Xing fell silent.
After a while, she suddenly looked at Shi Li with red eyes, "Since you are a goddess, why can't you save His Highness!"
If she could survive till midnight tonight, she would certainly have a way.
Shi Li was awakened by him and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.
"Ah Xing, don't be rude to Miss Shi."
At some point, Rong Yu opened his eyes.
He even tried to prop himself up and sit up, but his poisoned body was too weak and he was unable to do so.
A beauty is a beauty. Even if her face is pale and her lips are purple, she is still breathtakingly beautiful.
"Your Highness..."
Rong Xing's face clearly showed dissatisfaction and anger, but he shut his mouth obediently.
Then, Rong Yu looked at Shi Li.
When she was looked at by his dark eyes, Shi Li felt more and more guilty.
But Rong Yu had no intention of blaming her or pinning his hopes on her. He even nodded to her and said directly to the old doctor, "Please sir, bleed me to remove the poison."
He spoke without hesitation and with great force.
The people present were stunned again.
The old doctor was also shocked by his courage and frowned, saying, "Your Highness, this is a serious matter..."
"I see."
Rong Yu's face was calm and resolute, "Success or failure has nothing to do with you, sir."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, the old doctor said no more, took the medicine box and went out to prepare the tools needed for bloodletting.
Suddenly, there were only three people left in the room.
Rong Xing paced back and forth anxiously in front of Rong Yu, like an ant on a hot pan.
Compared to him, Shi Li seemed calmer and composed. She stood quietly by the side, but her fingers hidden in her wide sleeves were unconsciously clenched together.
"Ah Xing, please take care of the affairs in the city on my behalf for the time being. Don't delay important matters." Rong Yu glanced at him.
"When is this..."
Rong Xing subconsciously wanted to refute, but the person who spoke was Rong Yu, so he closed his mouth again, looking quite aggrieved, and glared at the innocent Shi Li.
Shi Li: ...
Is this kid like a mad dog, just staring at her and biting her?
"Go ahead, you're making me dizzy."
Rong Yu naturally knew that Rong Xing was worried about him, so he forced himself to keep his spirits up and told him a joke.
After sending the people away, Rong Yu looked at Shi Li.
Shi Li pursed her lips and said, "Actually... I will have a more reliable way to help you tomorrow."
She couldn't lie to Rong Yu.
But Rongyu's answer shocked her.
Even though he was lying on the bed, weak and vulnerable, his eyes were gentle and firm.
"I asked you about the snowstorm for the sake of the people of Yucheng. My poisoning is my own business. Miss Shi is a goddess. Her concern for the people is a blessing for the people. I am just an ordinary mortal. I cannot go against the will of heaven."
Rong Yu was worried that Shi Li sacrificed herself to save him.
Shi Li blinked.
I never expected that this man who will be remembered forever in history books would be so gentle.
