Chapter 170: Like a Corpse Smell



Su Bei asked someone to find her two sets of cloth clothes and took off her expensive jewelry. She always felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

Chu Younan didn't say much, and did everything she said. He also felt that this was very wrong. To be fair, Ling Ziyou was a very careful person and shouldn't have said the wrong thing.

If he was wrong, there was another possibility, that is, he didn't want Song Zhu to get better. He might have seen through Mu Hui's thoughts and wanted Song Zhu to fend for himself, and then he would climb up the social ladder and become a royal consort.

Chu Younan would never let such a thing happen.

"Ling Xiao, go find Princess Jin and ask her to help take a look at this girl!" Chu Younan ordered.

The three of them split into two groups, Su Bei and Chu Younan went to Baosheng Medical Clinic, and Ling Xiao went to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Baosheng Clinic was indeed unremarkable as Ling Xiao had said. The most impressive thing about it was that the smell in the clinic was not that of medicine, but rather a foul odor.

There was a smell of stew mixed with a foul odor, which was not very pleasant.

"Sir, would you like to buy donkey-hide gelatin? We make the donkey-hide gelatin ourselves in our clinic, and we guarantee you will be satisfied!" The medicine boy was actually selling donkey-hide gelatin to them like a waiter.

But this does make sense. Ejiao is made from donkey skin, so the stench mixed with the smell of stewed meat should come from this.

Su Bei came forward wearing a veil and asked, "I heard from a friend that your medicine is very effective, so we came here specially to buy it. It is used to treat the kind of illness that causes sudden fainting and general weakness."

The medicine boy shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. Bring the person here for our doctor to take a look."

"He's fainted, it's inconvenient to bring him here."

The medicine boy shook his head again, "What did your friend say? The medicine must be suitable for the disease, otherwise it will kill people. We dare not prescribe medicine for you casually!"

Su Bei rolled his eyes and said, "He is a tall and thin man, wearing a light blue suit, and he looks delicate and gentle..."

Before he could finish his words, the medicine boy shook his head again, "I've never seen it!"

"Think about it carefully!" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.

The medicine boy still shook his head, but the curtain in the inner room was suddenly opened, and Doctor Zhang with white beard and hair came out. "I seem to have an impression of the man you two are talking about!"

The medicine boy kept silent. Doctor Zhang glanced at him and whispered softly, "Jia Zong, have you forgotten? This morning, there seemed to be a man who came to buy donkey-hide gelatin, and then found that his money was stolen, so he hurriedly ran out to chase the thief..."

The medicine boy who was called the master suddenly understood something, "Right, right, right! Master still has a good memory!"

Doctor Zhang looked at the two of them with a friendly expression and asked, "He introduced you here to buy donkey-hide gelatin, right? My donkey-hide gelatin sells very well!"

Chu Younan frowned slightly. This store was indeed strange, and this old doctor was also strange, but all he wanted was to send himself and Su Bei away as soon as possible...

"Doctor, I have a patient at home who has fainted. The man you saw came out to buy medicine for her. Why don't you look for it here to see if there is any prescription that has been prescribed for her?" Chu Younan said calmly.

Doctor Zhang thought for a moment and said, "I dare not prescribe medicine without seeing the patient. I remember clearly that he came here to buy donkey-hide gelatin."

Ha! Prince Su is here in person, how can I sell you out? Doctor Zhang thought to himself.

It turned out that he had discovered her identity. Chu Younan tugged at Su Bei and said, "Let's go first. Maybe he is wrong. Isn't there Jiabaocheng Medical Clinic?"

As he spoke, he winked at Su Bei.

Su Bei also realized that something was wrong, so he followed him out.

"They are all lying!" Chu Younan whispered in Su Bei's ear as soon as he went out.

Su Bei gave him a wink, and the two of them left from the road in front of the clinic, walked around outside, and then went back to the back of the clinic.

The smell in the backyard was even stronger, which made Su Bei lose interest in meat. She wanted to climb over the wall to take a look, but unfortunately there were always voices in the yard, and there were more than three or two.

"The pot is almost done! Keep an eye on it!"

"Add more water to this pot! It needs to be boiled twice more!"

"Pour out the cooked food and let it air dry!"

From the sound, it seemed like they were boiling donkey hide gelatin. Chu Younan didn't hear anything.

"Come back at night! There are too many people and too many eyes during the day!" he whispered.

Su Bei agreed, and the two returned to the snack shop.

Chu Younan called Ling Xiao to the box to discuss something, while Su Bei went to the room where Song Zhu lived.

Xue Jinrong was taking Song Zhu's pulse. For some reason, her brows furrowed more and more. After a while, she let go of Song Zhu's hand and walked out without saying a word, pulling Su Bei.

"Jinrong! What's wrong?" Su Bei asked hurriedly.

Xue Jinrong pulled her to a deserted place, and then he said solemnly: "Abei, she is not sick, she is poisoned."

"Is it poison?!" Su Bei was very puzzled. Wasn't she just an ordinary girl? Was there something special about her? How could someone poison her?

"It's poison!" Xue Jinrong was very serious, "This poison is extremely rare."

"Does that mean you can't solve the problem?" Su Bei was a little anxious. When she thought of the poison, she thought it was some kind of crested red poison and she probably wouldn't live long.

Xue Jinrong shook his head. "I've never seen this poison before. I'm afraid there's no antidote."

"That's troublesome!" Su Bei scratched his head. "Ling Ziyou went to buy medicine and hasn't come back yet. The clinic said it has no medicine. Is this girl going to die here?"

"That's not the case." Xue Jinrong shook his head. "She is now like an animal in hibernation. I estimate that she can live for three to five months. By the way, you said Ling Ziyou went to buy medicine? Could it be that he knows where to find the antidote?"

Su Bei told her everything that had happened.

Xue Jinrong frowned even more tightly, "There's something wrong with Baosheng Clinic! I passed by there a while ago, and the smell I smelled didn't smell like donkey skin, but more like..."

"Like what?"

“Like a corpse.”

Xue Jinrong said this lightly, but Su Bei was shocked. He imagined that there were dead bodies being boiled in a big pot in that place. This scene was really scary!

Zombies aren't that scary.

Her hair stood on end immediately.

Xue Jinrong was very calm, "But there is no evidence for this. After all, the corpses of cows, horses, and donkeys are also corpses. If they are piled up too much, they may produce that smell."

"Never mind him, I'll go check it out tonight!" Su Bei looked at her firmly.

"I'll go with you!" Xue Jinrong was also very determined.

"What if there's danger?"

Xue Jinrong snorted with a tense face, "No matter how dangerous it is, can it be as dangerous as Chu Youyang? Since I got married, I haven't had a good night's sleep! I'd rather run outside!"

Su Bei was petrified at the moment. Xue Jinrong was quite unrestrained. He even brought up such a thing? And with Chu Youyang's body, I'm afraid he has become as thin as a cotton ball, right?

Upstairs box.

Chu Younan stood at the window and looked down, just in time to see Su Bei and Xue Jinrong under the osmanthus tree.

He raised the corners of his lips slightly.

It seems that we need to be more restrained after the wedding, otherwise Ah Bei will end up like Princess Jin, who was so scared that she dared not go home.

But... Xue Jinrong walked steadily, and he didn't look like he had been bullied by Chu Youyang all night long!
