Chapter 862 The Goddess Has a Golden Finger
Shi Li’s request is simple.
She could follow Rongyu to the capital, or even anywhere else, but Rongyu had to give her a guarantee that he would protect her in Prince Jing's mansion and not let her enter the palace or be noticed by Emperor Rong Xiao.
After all, except for Rong Yu, the rest of the Xicheng royal family are perverts, and Shi Li doesn't want to have anything to do with them at all.
After all, the original owner's body was still very beautiful.
After listening to Shi Li's request, Rong Yu did not speak immediately. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while. When he raised his head again, his face was as gentle as ever.
"I understand Miss Shi's thoughts."
He looked at Shi Li steadily and spoke slowly, "I promise to protect you."
There is no need for smart people to make things clear when talking to each other. Although Shi Li and Rong Yu did not mention Emperor Rong Xiao at all, they already understood each other's meaning.
Shi Li didn't doubt what Rong Yu said at all and immediately smiled widely.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
[Anchor, isn't it a bit presumptuous of you to say this? ]
[Isn't it a bit hasty to entrust your life to me like this? 】
【What did I hear!!!】
Seeing the barrage of comments floating in front of her, Shi Li, who had been up all night, finally realized what she had said and was stunned.
Standing there like a roe deer caught by a flashlight.
"Miss Shi has been up all night, it's time to go back and rest."
Rong Yu's understanding saved Shi Li again.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll go back first. You have a good rest. Rongxing will probably be back soon. I'll come back to see you later. The doctor will probably come again today. Um... I'm leaving now."
Shi Li said a lot of things in a repeating voice, and she was too guilty to even look at Rong Yu. She turned around and hurried out, lifting her skirt.
After watching her leave, a smile slowly appeared on Rong Yu's weak and haggard face.
The girl's reaction was so vivid and real.
Then, as Shi Li said before leaving, Rong Xing came back hurriedly from outside after a while.
Seeing Rong Yu wake up, he immediately showed joy and walked forward a few steps, "Your Highness, you are finally awake!"
"Is the matter settled?" Rong Yu simply nodded, his heart concerned about Yucheng.
When Rong Xing heard him ask this, his expression became serious again and he told him about the moldy grain found in the relief shed.
"I heard that the grain transported here was in the charge of Concubine Su's brother."
Concubine Su is the most favored concubine by Emperor Rong Xiao. As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. Many people in the Su family are serving as officials in the court.
I didn’t expect that the Su family was so bold as to reach into the relief food.
The smile on Rong Yu's face slowly faded.
"First appease the people, as for the food..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I brought a batch of food on the way here, which can temporarily solve the urgent problem." Rong Xing proved with his actions that he was not useless.
Rong Yu looked at him with relief, but then mentioned Shi Li seriously.
With no outsiders present, Rong Xing didn't need to hide his emotions and snorted coldly, "What goddess? She's a liar! If she really had magical powers, why didn't she save His Highness directly yesterday? Instead, she made His Highness bleed to remove the poison!"
"She saved the people of Yucheng."
Rong Yu did not scold Rong Xing harshly, but spoke to him patiently, "Also, why don't you tell me what happened last night."
Rong Xing immediately thought of Shi Li's red frozen hands that were soaked in snow water. He turned his head away from Rong Yu guiltily and said unconvincedly, "She just twisted a few towels. Anyone can do such a thing..."
"Ah Xing."
Rong Yu called Rong Xing again seriously, "I once taught you not to generalize, and not to be prejudiced against people."
When Rong Xing heard Rong Yu's tone, he knew that he was about to get angry, and immediately shrugged his shoulders like a deflated ball.
"I know I was wrong. I will go and apologize to her later."
