Chapter 861 The Goddess Has a Golden Finger
According to historical records, Prince Jing Rongyu was extremely beautiful and had a face like a beautiful woman.
But no one has ever described Rong Yu's eyes in detail.
The dark eyes, when quiet, are like the moon reflected in autumn water, which makes one's heart flutter.
Just like at this moment, Shi Li looked into his eyes, and almost forgot how to breathe, let alone speak.
Eyes facing each other.
After an unknown amount of time, Rong Yu fluttered her eyelashes and said in a voice a little lower than usual, "Miss Shi?"
Shi Li's heart moved slightly, and she turned her head in panic, "You, you, your fever has subsided."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Rong Yu subconsciously wanted to sit up.
With his fever just subsiding and gauze tied around his wrists, Rong Yu was unable to sit up and chuckled helplessly.
Hmm... your eyes look even better when you smile.
Shi Li looked down at her collar guiltily.
The heart inside was beating a little too fast.
In order to ease the awkwardness, she decided to make small talk.
"Rong Xing has been here all night, but just now one of his personal soldiers encountered a problem and asked him to make a decision."
Although she also didn't like Rong Xing, she still had to tell the truth. She couldn't take all the credit for taking care of Rong Yu on herself.
When Rong Yu heard Shi Li mention Rong Xing, he sighed.
"Did Ah Xing look unkind to you again tonight?"
Ah, this... Shi Li didn't know how to answer for a moment.
If she told the truth, it would seem like she was telling tales behind someone's back; but if she denied it, she would be lying, so she was not willing to do that.
Silence is also an answer.
Shi Li's performance has already told Rong Yu the answer.
His expression was somewhat helpless. Taking advantage of the fact that he had just woken up and was still in good spirits, he told Shi Li in a gentle voice about Rong Xing's past experiences.
Rongxing is not an orphan with unlucky parents.
In fact, he had a father and a mother, and from birth until he was seven years old, he had no worries about food and clothing.
Who would have thought that after his seventh birthday, the family invited a fairy who claimed to have great magical powers. She pointed at him and said that he was a star of bad luck and that if he stayed at home he would definitely bring disaster to his family.
His parents believed what the fairy said without a doubt, and directly ordered their servants to tie him up, put him on a carriage and throw him into the faraway mountains.
Rong Xing stayed in the wilderness for three days before he came out. He was lucky that he was not attacked or eaten by wild beasts, but he became an orphan from then on.
This experience made him hate people like "fairy ladies" so much that he had a very bad impression of Shi Li before he met her.
"He just came to Yucheng, and I haven't had time to discipline him yet. I will apologize to Miss Shi on his behalf first."
After Rong Yu finished speaking, he looked at Shi Li very sincerely.
He said this not to gain Shi Li's understanding and tolerance, but just stated it calmly.
Shi Li was not a person who showed excessive sympathy, but after hearing about Rong Xing's experience, she did feel sorry for him. Well... I would just ignore him in the future.
"If he doesn't like me, then so be it. I'm not a human being... It's impossible for everyone to like a silver ingot."
Her choice of words made Rong Yu slightly stunned, and then he smiled and praised: "Miss Shi is open-minded."
This open-mindedness really sounds like the meaning of "being broad-minded", rather than a compliment.
Shi Li secretly pursed her lips, seeing that Rong Yu was still in good spirits, and carefully asked him about her future plans.
This is a pretty serious topic.
Rongyu showed guilt on his face.
Logically speaking, Shi Li helped to save Yucheng from danger this time, and she was a meritorious person. However, her identity as a "goddess" and her ability to accurately predict the wind and snow also prevented her from continuing to be as free in Yucheng as before.
After pondering for a while, Rong Yu tried to ask in a gentle tone: "Miss Shi, are you willing to go to the capital with me?"
Such a goddess cannot be left alone in any way.
After all, Rong Yu is a member of the royal family and the cousin of Emperor Rong Xiao, so when considering things, Xicheng Rong family should be put first.
Shi Li had anticipated this proposal.
Looking at Rong Yu's face, she took a breath and answered firmly: "I can go to the capital with you, but there is one condition, I hope you can agree to it."
