Chapter 168 Mutation



"Yes, I need it urgently..." Zhu Jin looked at Su Mu wearing an apron and holding a spatula and cooking enthusiastically, and her tone was unconsciously cheerful, "Dad, please help me get it first. I got up late today and didn't have time to take it to the hospital."

She finally made an exception to help Huhu and his daughter. The most fundamental reason was that the interdependence between them reminded her of the days when she and her father depended on each other in her previous life. She envied them and unconsciously wanted to maintain that warmth. At this moment, looking at Su Mu's appearance, Zhu Jin's heart softened and she unconsciously brought out a little bit of coquettishness.

"Haha, it's rare that you sleep in, Dad will get it for you. Don't worry, Dad is reliable..." Su Mu could feel the change in Zhu Jin's attitude the most. He smiled with a flushed face, threw down the shovel, and trotted towards Zhu Jin's pharmacy.

He was the one who helped with the initial layout of the house. Later, every time he came, he would look around to see if there were any safety hazards. He often went to the pharmacy because Zhu Jin's massage method had improved Helian Lan's sleep. Su Mu was also very interested in Zhu Jin's ancient medical skills and often went to the pharmacy and asked Zhu Jin many funny questions.

Su Mu ran to the pharmacy with a solemn promise. In the kitchen, Helian Zhen, who was placed by Su Mu to stand far away, was left in the kitchen. Helian Zhen wanted to learn how to cook, and Su Mu was eager to teach her. When she started teaching, she was worried that Helian Zhen would choke or get burned, so she pushed her far away in the corner of the kitchen and told her to watch first. Helian Zhen did not call Su Mu, but picked up the spatula steadily and continued to stir-fry.

Turn the heat to maximum.

In the pharmacy, Su Mu looked at the medicine that Zhu Jin had almost prepared on the table. As Zhu Jin explained remotely, Su Mu was carefully filling in the missing two medicines. "5 grams... a little bit..." Su Mu carefully weighed the medicine while chatting with Zhu Jin. "Why didn't you fill it all at once before?"

"The medicine you are weighing now is very poisonous. Every step of the preparation and drying cannot go wrong. It still needs to be dried overnight until last night, so I didn't pack it well." Zhu Jin explained and watched Basil's gestures. Knowing that time was urgent, he didn't say much. "Dad, just prepare it according to my instructions and send it to me. I still have two patients here who haven't finished seeing them. I'm going to die first. Don't touch the medicine on the side. Although it looks the same, it has not been prepared and is very toxic..."

Because the medicines in the pharmacy are special, no one except Zhu Jin is allowed to enter the pharmacy. Of course, Su Mu is special, he can go everywhere, so Zhu Jin has specially designated an area where he is not allowed to touch.

The reason why Zhu Jin was so nervous and kept emphasizing that, in addition to the toxicity of the medicine, another reason was that the medicine seemed to have no change after being processed. Unless the toxicity was tested, it would be impossible to tell whether it had been processed or not.

Zhu Jin was careful, but Su Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when listening to him, "I know, you've said it several times before, and you've said it three times now. I remember everything, but I won't even take a look, okay? Go see the patients quickly, don't keep them waiting, being sick is not comfortable, and you delayed them yesterday."

"Okay, I've wrapped it up. Dad will ask Auntie to take me to the hospital." Zhu Jin nodded.

Su Mu hung up the phone, humming a little tune as he carefully and accurately weighed the missing medicine. Just as he finished weighing and packing the medicine, he heard a scream coming from the kitchen in the distance. The voice sounded a bit like Helian Zhen.

"What's wrong?" Su Mu pricked up his ears and asked.

"Dad... Dad..." The next second, Helian Zhen's voice came running over, "Dad, the pot is on fire..."

"What?" Su Mu was startled and pulled her to look, "Are you hurt? Are you burned?"

"No, no, I jumped away." Helian Zhen waved his hands and grabbed Su Mu who was about to run away, "The fire is out..."

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Helian Zhen looked at Su Mu and bowed his head to explain and apologize, "But... Dad, that dish can't be eaten... The kitchen is also dirty... I was scared... I'm sorry, Dad, I just wanted to try it." Originally, cooking was also in the princess's curriculum, but she didn't want to learn it when she was a child, so she kept dragging it on until now and hasn't formally learned it.

"You really... didn't you say you would do it when I'm here?" Su Mu said helplessly, "As long as he's okay, I'll just cook another dish. I have all the ingredients, and your sister likes it. I'll go cook it now. I can clean up the kitchen, too. It's okay, don't be afraid."

After Su Mu comforted Helian Zhen, he remembered that he was still helping Zhu Jin. He looked at the prepared medicine, pointed at it and said to Helian Zhen, "Zhenzhen, help pack your sister's medicine. She needs it urgently. It's all packed. Just pack it up. Just imitate the way I pack it."

“What if I can’t wrap it well…” Helian Zhen waved his hands.

"What's wrong with the packaging? Just don't let the medicine get scattered. Your sister is waiting to use it urgently." Su Mu saw Helian Zhen nod and trot out again. He turned back after taking two steps and told Helian Zhen, "By the way, Zhenzhen, come out as soon as you wrap the medicine. Don't touch the things inside, especially the forbidden area. Don't touch it. The medicine there is poisonous."

"Oh, okay, okay." Helian Zhen agreed and reflexively took a look at the medicine in the prohibited area. When he lowered his head and saw the prepared medicine, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Listening to Su Mu's emotional voice in the kitchen, Helian could really imagine Su Mu's helplessness in cleaning up the mess she had made in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, after Su Mu cleaned up, he quickly cooked new dishes, and the place was bustling with activity. In the pharmacy, only Helian Zhen was there, quiet and peaceful.

Su Mu hurriedly cooked the dishes. Helian Zhenzhen came out with the medicine. Su Mu took off her apron and took it. "Zhenzhen, you and Auntie prepare the meal at home. I'll go pick up your sister."

Su Mu trotted towards the flying car with only one guard. He looked at the medicine bags on the flying car and counted them. He opened them and checked them. He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see anything unusual. He smoothed his hair and tidied his clothes.

Zhu Jin was very surprised that Su Mu personally delivered the medicine, "Why did Dad come here by himself?"

"I want to pick you up from get off work. Dad has cooked the dishes and you can eat when you get home." Su Mu handed the medicine to Zhu Jin.

"Dad, wait for me." Zhu Jin gave the medicine to Hu Hu and his daughter who were waiting in the waiting room. "Take it when you have time when you go back. Don't stop taking it. Also, don't eat the things listed above that you shouldn't eat." Zhu Jin then handed them a piece of paper with all the taboos on it.

"Okay." Jiao Xu listened carefully.

"If there is any abnormality, that is, a mild poisoning reaction, please contact me. The medicine this time is a little special." Zhu Jin told the father and daughter her personal contact information, "You can contact me 24 hours a day."

"Okay, okay." Jiao Xu looked more cautious. He confirmed again and again the safety of the medicine before leaving with Huhu.

Su Mu and Zhu Jin also went home together, chatting and laughing. Zhu Jin was surprised when he saw Helian Zhen sitting in the house.

"Your sister has nothing to do after class, so I brought her here." Su Mu saw that everything was ready, explained, and urged Zhu Jin to clean up and eat quickly, "Hurry up and clean up, it's time to eat."

Seeing Su Mu in high spirits, Zhu Jin relaxed his slightly frowned brows. At the dinner table, Helian Zhen and Zhu Jin got along harmoniously for the first time. Su Mu was so happy that he kept serving them food. The meal was lively and took a long time.

After taking the medicine, the father and his two daughters sat together to chat and rest happily. Su Mu talked about the embarrassing things they did when they were young, and she laughed out loud. Helian Zhen laughed along with her, and Zhu Jin laughed even though she hadn't experienced it.

Su Mu was in a good mood and talked for a long time. Finally, he looked at Zhu Jin and smiled easily, "Let's go, Nan Nan, let's go through the formal procedures for release from prison."

Zhu Jin nodded, and finally Su Mu and Helian Zhen accompanied Zhu Jin to the prison. After returning to the prison, he had to meet acquaintances, and finally went to handle the formalities. While he was handling the formalities and filling out the forms, Zhu Jin suddenly received a call from Shi Shangbai.

Ishigami Bo's face was extremely serious. As soon as the call was connected, he quickly said, "Zhu Jin, the royal family just suddenly issued an announcement about the princess'... changes. You should take a look."

"Okay." Zhu Jin looked at Shi Shangbai's face and felt a chill in his heart.

"What's wrong? Nannan?" Because of what Shi Shangbai said the night before, Zhu Jin set his phone to secret calls. Su Mu and Helian Zhen couldn't hear Shi Shangbai's voice. Seeing Zhu Jin's face suddenly change, Su Mu asked immediately.

"Something happened." Zhu Jin had already opened the news and saw the eye-catching large red headline. The font size and color were only used for major events.

Zhu Jin looked at the news headlines and his heart sank instantly.

Zhu Jin looked back at Su Mu and Helian Zhen, but didn't see anything unusual in their expressions. Su Mu frowned and looked at her anxiously, while Helian Zhen was completely confused.

Zhu Jin was sure that Su Mu really didn't know, and no matter how perfect Helian Zhen's performance was, she couldn't believe it.

"Nannan, what happened?" Zhu Jin reacted abnormally, and Su Mu asked anxiously again.

"Something big has happened." Zhu Jin spoke, stretched out his hand and clicked it, and the screen appeared in front of Su Mu and He Lian Zhen. The eye-catching title at first glance also instantly attracted the attention of the two.

“This... is fake, right? Why don’t I know..." Su Mu’s first reaction was to question.

Helian Zhen's reaction was that he seemed to be unable to stand steadily. He took two steps back before he could steady himself. He stared at the title with a dull look and did not move for a long time.

Zhu Jin withdrew his gaze from them and clicked on the news.

"At 15:38 on March 12, 3700 AD, the royal family suddenly issued a major announcement, saying that in order to keep up with the times, the royal princesses will be chosen by the people. Among the queen's descendants and direct blood relatives, the royal family will first observe and select at least two princess candidates who are both virtuous and talented. Finally, the people will choose the princess they think is the best, and the one with the most supporters will become the princess."

"...If a candidate princess has any inappropriate words or deeds or behaves immorally, she will unconditionally lose her candidacy. Conversely, those who have already become princesses will also be subject to public supervision..."

"…In view of the extremely active voting activities for the princess on the Internet, the royal family has decided to implement this measure from the date of publication. The current true princess of the Royal Family of Blue Water Star will accept this test challenge. Whether she can keep her position as princess, we will wait and see…"

“…announce the royal family’s first candidates for princess: Helian Zhen, Zhu Jin (formerly Helian Nan).”

Zhu Jin was finally pushed to the forefront.
