Chapter 4 — He Used To See Me As A Decoration, Now He Begs Me Not To Leave

I responded to her with a faint smile. Xuan Hoa was so impatient that she was about to cry:

"Miss, what should we do now? Isn't that like being under house arrest?"

I put the herbs in my hand back on the stone table, picked up a medical book, and sat down on the chair in the hallway. The sunlight is beautiful and the breeze is also nice. I opened the book and said softly:

"What's the hurry? The play is good, it's only just begun."

The days of detention were, on the contrary, more peaceful. Besides Xuan Hoa, Thinh Truc Uyen no longer has anyone coming in or out. Every day, the housekeeper ordered food and water to be placed at the small door next to the hospital gate. Xuan Hoa went to get it himself. I am also happy to have leisure, putting all my energy into my career and medical skills. Every three days, the butler takes the opportunity to bring vegetables into the Royal Palace, sneaks in through the back door, and reports to me on the recent situation of the shops and manor. The businesses that were under my name before were all half-dead. I asked Ma Ma to change the treasurer and at the same time adjust the business direction. There is a silk shop in there, I let it specialize in making fabrics with exclusive patterns, extremely expensive prices, only sold to ladies in the capital. As for the other pharmacy, we converted it into a medical shop specializing in treating incurable diseases. The doctor sitting at the examination was a distant relative of my maternal uncle. He had extremely high medical skills, but he was just not good at business. In less than half a month, business has begun to improve. That night, I was sitting under a lamp researching an ancient remedy when suddenly I heard a series of chaotic footsteps outside. Xuan Hoa ran in panic:

"Miss, it's not over! The prince... the prince brought someone here!"

Before I finished speaking, my door was kicked open by someone from outside. Tieu Can Ngon rushed straight in with a murderous aura, followed by a butler and several guards behind him. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour someone else.

“Tan Chieu!”

He rushed forward and grabbed my collar, pulling me directly from the chair.

“Did she do it!”

I was shaken by him until I was dizzy, frowned and asked:

“What happened?”

“She's still pretending!”

He roared angrily and violently threw me to the ground.

“Khinh Nhu... Khinh Nhu is about to fail!”

I hit the table leg hard, and my arm immediately felt a sharp pain, but at this point I was no longer in the mood to pay attention.

“How is To Khinh Nhu?”

“She was poisoned!”

Tieu Can Ngon's eyes turned red and he stared at me.

"The doctor said that she was infected with 'Shield Co Du', endemic to Southern Cuong, and no medicine could save her!"

"In this whole capital, besides the general's daughter who grew up in Southern Cuong like you, who else can get this kind of poison!"

Shield Co Lead? My heart suddenly sank. I have seen this type of poison in medical books, its toxicity is extremely overbearing. When it occurs, the poisoned person will go crazy, his limbs will convulse, and finally his whole body will stiffen like a puppet being pulled on strings, hence its name.

“Not me.”

I calmly spoke up.

“You still dare to make excuses!”

Tieu Can Ngon immediately pulled out the sword from the guard's hand, the cold tip of the sword pointed straight at my throat.

“The doctor is completely at a loss, they say he was the one who poisoned me There will be an antidote! Tan Chieu, quickly hand over the antidote, I will leave you a complete corpse!”

The cold blade stuck close to my skin, bringing with it cold shivers. I looked at him, looked at my husband. Right now, just because of another woman, he wants to put me to death. My heart, right at that moment, completely cold.

“I'll say it again, it's not me.”

My voice doesn't have a single ripple.

“I didn't poison you, and I don't have an antidote.”

“Okay, very good!”

Tieu Can Ngon was so angry that he burst out laughing.

"It seems that if you don't let her experience any pain, she won't admit her guilt!"

“Where are you, search for me! Even if Thinh Truc Uyen is overturned, we must find an antidote!”

The guards immediately rushed into the room and began rummaging through chests and shelves. My books, my medicinal herbs, my books, they were all violently thrown to the ground. Xuan Hoa cried and knelt down to beg, but was kicked aside by Tieu Can Ngon.
