464 Gu Xijiu’s Qualification (2/2)

By her side, Rong Jialuo lowered his voice and said, ”Xijiu, eat slowly, don't choke up.” He looked around. Then, he met their eyes and said calmly, ”What are you looking at? If you were being sent to the Dark Forest and were able to make it out alive, you wouldn't look any better than her.”

Their expressions brightened up a little with a tiny smile. Then, they turned their attention away.

Gu Xijiu finally realized it – it was her eating manner that had surprised them.

She was terribly shocked as she looked down at the plates in front of her.

To her surprise, she had emptied six or seven servings. Most of the food was meat, served in huge portions.

Suddenly, she could sense a sudden feeling of breathlessness and suffocation in her chest.

Rong Che handed her an Amber Bowl that carried a solution in the color of azure green, ”Xijiu, drink this.”

Gu Xijiu knew that it was a treatment for indigestion from the scent of the solution. It was the right thing for her consumption, so she took it thankfully and drank it. Then, she could finally feel better.

”How are you?” There was a sign of concern in Rong Che’s eyes.

”I’m feeling better. Is this a special recipe from the palace?” The taste of the solution was surprisingly good, making her crave for more.

”I made it myself. Glad that you liked it,” said Rong Che, smilingly.

He was a man as beautiful as jade, with a smile that would overthrow the city. His scent was subdued with a quiet elegance, yet addictive like the poppy flower. His tempting scent was enough to attract her.

Gu Xijiu spoke highly of him, as she did not expect the wealthy and honorable Eighth Prince to know how to concoct a solution for her.

There was a light in Rong Che’s eyes. Smilingly, he said, ”I also know how to make different solutions with different tastes and purposes, how about a treat from me when we get back to the capital?”
