Chapter 81 What has changed? Hasn't it been smelling the same for so many days?

Wei An listened carefully.

Cheng Jin was talking nonsense seriously, "This shamrock root is colorless and tasteless, and it is a tonic. If you put less in the previous dosage, it would be difficult to suppress the strange smell produced by those herbs."

"Now you just need to put more. First, it will be good for the emperor's poison, and second, it can suppress this strange smell."

Wei An was overjoyed and immediately took Cheng Jin to see Chu Chengye.

When Cheng Jin saw Chu Chengye, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Chu Chengye's every word and action revealed the temperament of a villain.

Chu Chengye was sitting upright on the chair, just casually supporting his head, his slender fingers flipping over the paper in his hand, his narrow red phoenix eyes lightly scanning the contents of the book, his sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned, and a murderous aura lingered around his body.

It didn't feel like reading a history book, but more like flipping through a book of life and death.

Wei An was inevitably happy to have found a way to solve the strange smell on Chu Chengye's body, and he saluted Chu Chengye excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I got it, I got it."

Because of his happiness, Wei An's voice was inevitably a little louder, and he didn't finish his words.

Cheng Jin couldn't help but laugh.

Chu Chengye only raised his eyes slightly and said: "Empress Rong doesn't understand the rules, don't you understand it either?"

Wei An quickly knelt on the ground, "My servant spoke out of turn."

Cheng Jin: "???"

[No way, I was scolded even when I was standing? 】

【I poked your ancestral tomb and you are looking for trouble like this? 】

Chu Chengye frowned, ignored Cheng Jin's thoughts, and only looked at Wei An's position.

"Okay, say whatever you want to say."

Wei An then told Chu Chengye everything that Cheng Jin had just told him.

Chu Chengye was very confused. It's not like he hadn't asked Pei Yu before, he just said there was no way, how come Cheng Jin asked it so easily.

I'm afraid Pei Yu is hiding something from me.

Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye was suspicious, so she explained, "To be honest, this was not what Lord Pei told me."

"I have studied medical books with Lord Pei for several years before, and I know some prescriptions that are specifically designed to solve the problem of the strange smell coming from the body after drinking this soup."

"But I was afraid that the emperor would find my words unreliable, so I used Lord Pei's name."

Cheng Jin was calm and ruthless in her heart. After being here for so long, she was already familiar with this kind of lying.

I'm afraid she wouldn't blink even if she was struck by lightning.

Chu Chengye already knew that Cheng Jin knew some things that others couldn't know, and without hearing Cheng Jin's inner voice, he knew that this matter was very likely to be true.

However, Cheng Jin came over just after Pei Yu left his palace. Hearing what Cheng Jin said, the two of them probably didn't meet.

Chu Chengye couldn't help but feel better.

Chu Chengye only needed to inquire a little to know everything about Pei Yu and Cheng Jin. The two of them were like the poor couple who were torn apart because of him.

Pei Yu never refused anything Cheng Jin said. I'm afraid everyone knows what he was thinking.

He deliberately concealed the news of Pei Yu's entry into the palace and didn't let Cheng Jin follow him a few days ago for this reason. He wanted

to prevent them from rekindling their relationship in front of him and exchanging glances.

Now that he thinks about it, they are not destined to be together. The two of them walked here for less than half a minute, and they never met. It is estimated that they are really not destined to be together.

Even if they are really together, they will separate sooner or later.

Chu Chengye felt relieved when he thought of this.

Cheng Jin didn't know why the man in front of him suddenly looked so happy. She just thought that Chu Chengye was happy to know how to solve the problem of the odor on her body.

Chu Chengye nodded slightly, "I know."

Then he told Wei An, "Wei An, now you should do as Concubine Rong said."

After Wei An agreed, he went out to find some more sambar root.

It didn't take long before he came back and boiled the medicine with double the amount of sambar root in front of Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin secretly made preparations, found something to stuff into her nostrils, and waited to see Chu Chengye's joke.

As expected, when the medicine in the medicine jar was boiling, an unbearable odor came out, a mixture of sour and smelly, like the smell of a toilet, or the smell of something going bad in the summer, mixed with the strong bitterness of Chinese medicine.

Cheng Jin almost vomited with her nose blocked.

What Pei Yu said was indeed true, just adding twice the amount of shamu root, it was countless times more smelly than before.

Chu Chengye's face became darker and darker, and the hand covering his mouth and nose never loosened.

He glared in the direction of Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin chose to play blind.

Wei An, who had been watching by the medicine jar, finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran towards Cheng Jin.

"Your Majesty, is the method you said true?"

"Why do I feel that the smell from this medicine pot is worse than before?"

Cheng Jin remained calm, "Ah, this is what I read in a book. It may be that the time for the medicine to be boiled has not yet come, so the smell has not changed. It will be fine when it is cooked."

Although Wei An was puzzled, he believed what Cheng Jin said.

But when the time for the medicine to be boiled came, the smell did not dissipate at all.

When Wei An came over with the medicine pot, Cheng Jin took several steps back.

Wei An looked puzzled, "Your Majesty, it has been boiled according to what you said, but why has the smell changed? It has become more unpleasant."

Cheng Jin quietly retorted in his heart.

[What has changed? What has changed? Hasn't it been this smell for so many days?

Of course not. Cheng Jin also knew that it had indeed become more smelly. Now

the most important thing was to coax Chu Chengye into drinking it.

Cheng Jin took the medicine bowl from Wei An, but as soon as she took it, she regretted it.

The smell almost made her tears burst out.

If Chu Chengye were to come to Jingyang Palace again in the future, Chu Chengye would not know how quickly he would die facing such a taste.

After killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of himself, he would never dare to do it again.

It was already done, and he could not give up halfway. Cheng Jin walked in front of Chu Chengye with a stiff upper lip, "Your Majesty, drink it while it's hot."

[Die young while you can.]

Chu Chengye's scrutinizing eyes did not dissipate. Cheng Jin pretended to be real, and she did not have so many thoughts in her heart as before. Chu Chengye could not hear it, and just thought that Cheng Jin's words were true.

But looking at Cheng Jin in front of him, who was about to laugh out loud, it really didn't seem to be true.

Cheng Jin handed the medicine bowl to Chu Chengye's mouth, waiting for Chu Chengye to open his mouth and pour it directly into it.

Chu Chengye was so irritated by the medicine bowl in front of him that his brows were furrowed, and even his eyes were tightly closed. He turned his head away and resisted very much.

He had been tortured to death by this medicine soup these days.

After he drank the medicine, he didn't know why, but the strange smell seemed to be emanating from his body. There were

constant rumors in the court. Some said that he was obsessed with seeking a way to live forever, which made him smell like this.

Others said that he was now terminally ill and would not live long, so he was desperate to seek medical treatment.
