Chapter 880 The Goddess Has a Golden Finger
The palace banquet was still held in the same palace as last time.
The lights were bright, and palace servants came in one after another, carrying delicious food.
At the palace banquet, the emperor and his ministers toasted each other and the atmosphere was lively.
Just like last time, Shi Li sat quietly and obediently behind Rong Yu, like a shy and timid young wife.
In an unnoticed corner, he quietly remained alert and paid attention to everything around Rongyu.
Different from the last palace banquet, Emperor Rong Xiao did not do anything fancy like "lying naked" in front of others.
This time, Concubine Su was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, and accompanied Emperor Rong Xiao with a big smile on her face. The two of them seemed like a normal pair of emperor and concubine.
Of course, this is just "as if".
After the banquet lasted for more than thirty minutes, Emperor Rong Xiao turned his attention to Rong Yu.
"The rapid cessation of the plague in Qucheng this time is all thanks to King Jing."
coming!
When Emperor Rong Xiao said this, Shi Li silently clenched the ivory chopsticks and jade chopsticks in his hand, and calmly prepared to activate the golden finger.
Rong Yu did not dare to neglect and immediately stood up and replied: "The plague was brought under control quickly, thanks to the efforts of the accompanying imperial doctors. I dare not take credit for it."
"Prince Jing is just humble." Emperor Rong Xiao shook his head, as if he felt helpless about Rong Yu's modesty.
Then, he suddenly looked at Concubine Su who was sitting next to him, "My beloved, please reward King Jing with a glass of fine wine on my behalf, and complete the relationship between me and King Jing as a subject."
"The minister and concubine follow the order."
Without any hesitation, Concubine Su took the wine jug from the servant and poured wine into an empty luminous cup with a smile.
The crystal clear wine slowly flowed from the jug into the luminous cup, making Concubine Su's eyes look more affectionate.
After a glass of wine was filled, Concubine Su held the luminous cup with both hands and walked down slowly.
At some point, the palace became extremely quiet. The others who were originally whispering had already shut up and were watching the scene quietly and silently.
"Prince Jing, please."
Concubine Su walked up to Rong Yu holding a wine glass, with a sweet and seductive smile on her pretty and charming face.
Shi Li always felt that there seemed to be other emotions hidden in her smile.
But not important.
The only important thing now is that there must be something wrong with the glass of wine sent by Concubine Su!
Shi Li looked up at Emperor Rong Xiao nervously.
There was still a hint of smile on his face as he stared at Rong Yu intently, with anticipation evident in his eyes.
Shi Li's breathing paused slightly, worrying that it would be too late to use the golden finger.
Without any hesitation, I made a wish for today with a firework -
I wish Rongyu is immune to all poisons today!
She wanted to ask the system for a high price and make Rong Yu immune to all poisons forever, but unfortunately, the system directly rejected her idea, so she had to settle for the next best thing.
That should be enough.
Everyone held their breath and kept quiet, waiting for Rong Yu's decision.
Concubine Su held the wine glass and looked at him with a smile.
After the golden finger was confirmed to be effective, Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and quietly tugged at the corner of Rong Yu's clothes with his fingers.
Rong Yu subconsciously turned around and looked at her.
Their eyes met and Shi Li blinked at him.
Rong Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and took the wine glass from Concubine Su's hand without saying a word, raised it up and drank it all.
So fast that no one else had time to react.
What Shi Li found most strange was that Concubine Su's face seemed to turn pale for a moment as Rong Yu drank the wine, but soon returned to normal.
"King Jing is indeed a man who has been on the battlefield. He is truly generous!"
Emperor Rong Xiao watched Rong Yu drink a glass of wine with his own eyes. He was very pleased and could no longer hide the smile on his face. He raised his hand to Concubine Su and said, "My beloved concubine, please come back!"
Concubine Su was a second late in reacting. She looked at Rong Yu deeply and turned back to Emperor Rong Xiao.
Emperor Rong Xiao held her hand and looked at Rong Yu in a good mood, and even gave a look to Shi Li, his unknown confidante.
"This... Miss Shi has been with King Jing for quite some time. Why don't I make the decision..."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Su's sharp voice suddenly interrupted Emperor Rong Xiao's words.
