The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1315 - 1310: The Strange Fragrance on the Corpse Gu

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1310: The Strange Fragrance on the Corpse Gu

Ordinary soldiers have never encountered such fierce and strange things as Gu corpses; they would probably be unable to deal with them.

Chu Yihan was also in great danger!

At Ruo Shui Pass…

Mo Qi very much wanted to advise Chu Yihan to retreat from here first.

But Chu Yihan’s thin lips were tightly pressed together, and he said coldly, “If I leave, Ruo Shui Pass will immediately fall. By tonight at the earliest, or by tomorrow at the latest, the troops of Qiongzhou will inevitably reach Ruo Shui Pass.”

He didn’t understand Chen Ruobai, but when it came to military affairs, this woman’s thoughts might not necessarily be more meticulous than his.

The urgency of the battle was imminent.

“Emperor! Your dragon body must not be harmed. Today, the Gu corpse has been cleared, and even if the battle begins tomorrow, I am confident that I can defend Ruo Shui Pass. It’s better if you retreat to Tang City behind Ruo Shui Pass first. There, I can send daily battle reports to you, and we will surely defend Ruo Shui Pass with the soldiers and protect you.”

Ye Mian knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his loyalty evident.

Chu Yihan intended to help him up, but he seemed to smell an unusual fragrance, so he just stood quietly and sniffed for a moment longer.

Ye Mian’s head knocked on the ground, thinking Chu Yihan felt his sincerity was lacking, he said, “I have guarded Ruo Shui Pass for many years and consider it my hometown. I will surely fight with the soldiers to the last drop of blood to defend Ruo Shui Pass and will never let the enemy…”

“Shut up.” Chu Yihan rebuked in a low voice.

He stood in silent contemplation, diligently sniffing the unusual scent in the air.

At first, he thought he was imagining it, but now the fragrance was getting stronger. It was a faint scent, somewhat masked by the smell of blood, but… it was there!

How could there be a fragrance on the Gu corpse?

Chu Yihan called Mo Qi over, “Smell, there is a strange fragrance in the air.”

“A strange fragrance?” Mo Qi sniffed hard but didn’t catch any scent of fragrance, instead, a nauseating stench almost choked him!

He covered his nose, feeling uncomfortable, and said, “Master, I don’t smell any fragrance. Did you?”

“Yes, a fragrance, related to a woman…”

Chu Yihan remembered, based on recollection, that this fragrance seemed to be the one Su Yingxue had let him smell once, similar or at least slightly similar!

But he wasn’t sure, unable to distinguish it.

And Su Yingxue had just set out from the Xiao family compound and had not yet arrived at Ruo Shui Pass. He furrowed his brows in thought and asked Ye Mian, “Is there a woman familiar with spices who can be brought here right now?”

“A woman…” Ye Mian looked troubled, “Emperor, women are not permitted in the military camp.”

He was always strict in military discipline and would absolutely not allow women in the camp.

“Then find a civilian woman, from a well-off family, someone knowledgeable.”

They, men, weren’t sensitive to fragrances and might find it difficult to capture this faint scent in the air, but boudoir ladies were different; they would surely be able to detect something.

As Ye Mian was troubled over where to find a knowledgeable woman from a rich family at this late hour, his son Ye Qingru spoke up, “Father, our house is not far from here; we can call Qing Yi over.”

Although he had no idea why the emperor wanted a woman at this time, being able to find one and to comply with His Majesty’s wishes was always correct.

Ye Mian suddenly remembered, “Emperor, my daughter is at home. Shall I send someone to fetch her right away?”

“Hmm, go ahead.” Chu Yihan waved his hand.

He stood there, sure that he had just caught a whiff of fragrance.

But neither the Shadow Guards nor Mo Qi could smell it at all.

Chu Yihan ordered them to stay put and not to let the already faint scent dissipate.

Mo Qi and the others, puzzled, stood guard in a place littered with Gu corpses, forming a wall as per Chu Yihan’s instruction, to prevent the air from circulating.

An incense stick of time later, Ye Qingyi was brought over.

Because it was her brother Ye Qingru who went to fetch her, and he had specifically instructed that it was a royal summons from the emperor, requiring her to dress appropriately and not to disgrace the Ye Family, Ye Qingyi arrived somewhat late.

She wore a cyan dress with lotus leaf edging, her delicate feet stepping on the damp and soft soil. Ye Qingru held a lantern for her and helped her along. Her willowy figure, in the night, seemed especially slender and enchanting; with each step, her silhouette swayed captivatingly.

Ye Qingyi grew up at Ruo Shui Pass; although her father and brother were Martial Generals, they doted on her excessively, pampering her to the utmost softness. In her lively eyes lay a charming expressiveness.

Upon hearing she was to meet the current emperor, her heart surged with excitement, and she primped into a clear and ethereal beauty, hoping to make a good impression and, by chance… to convey her longing for the emperor.

Yes, she also yearned for Chu Yihan.

The Great Cheng Dynasty’s God of War was a legend throughout the Four Seas. Which maiden’s boudoir didn’t have his portrait hanging, and who hadn’t read the biographies of the Ninth Prince, recounting the War God’s tales?

They all admired Chu Yihan, cherishing him in the depths of their hearts.

Now, having the opportunity to be graced with his presence, Ye Qingyi felt even dying on the battlefield would be worth it!

Especially at the moment she saw Chu Yihan, the man’s heroic stature, his divine side profile, and that strong jawline, struck her heart at every angle, intensely tugging at her emotions!

Ye Qingyi almost fell for Chu Yihan the moment she saw his side face.

Ye Qingru reluctantly but firmly pushed her, “Hurry and pay your respects to the emperor!”

Ye Qingyi suddenly came back to her senses and knelt down in a fluster, “This nobleman’s daughter… Ye Qingyi pays her respects to the emperor, today is fortunate to witness, truly, three…”

“No need for more words, quickly smell, is there a different fragrance in the air?” Chu Yihan interrupted her, urging her to get up and carry out the task.

Ye Qingyi, without a chance to look up and see Yihan’s face clearly, quickly obeyed, activating her sense of smell.

A woman’s nose, at this time, becomes especially sensitive and proves useful.

Though almost choked by the foul and dirty stench of blood, she still detected a trace of perfume in the air.

“This faint scent, it seems like perfume. How can there be perfume in a place like this?” Ye Qingyi was astonished to find such a fragrance amidst the detritus of limbs and a battlefield that had just been cleared.

It was indeed surprising.

Chu Yihan’s lips curved slightly, “Indeed, women are more sensitive to fragrances, it’s the scent of perfume!”

He was certain now; these Gu corpses carried the scent of perfume!

This meant…

There was a traceable path from where the Gu corpses had come!

Chu Yihan commanded Ye Qingru to take Ye Qingyi and follow the scent of the perfume to locate the source of the Gu corpses. As they had hoped, Ye Qingyi’s remarkable nose led them to find a path outside the city wall.

A tunnel leading directly to Ruo Shui Pass.

It seems that the Gu corpses had burrowed through here!
