Chapter 7 — Rebirth Does Not Accept Death

While saying thank you, Concubine Xuan walked over with her delicate willowy waist, carrying an exquisite food box. Giang Hoai Du was serving next to the Old Lady. As soon as he saw that box of food, his face suddenly changed in horror. Without waiting for Concubine Xuan to open her mouth, he jumped up to stop her: "Little lady, why are you bringing this here?" Concubine Xuan did not notice anything unusual at all, and deliberately shouted loudly towards the Old Lady:

“This breakfast is very delicious, I specially brought it to honor the Old Lady!”

The look of enthusiasm on Giang Hoai Du's face could not be hidden, he almost pushed Concubine Xuan out:

"Old lady, what kind of delicious things have you never tasted before? Today, Doctor Truong is here. Don't embarrass yourself, young lady."

As soon as Concubine Xuan heard this, she immediately shouted:

"What is called loss of face and shame? I have never heard of a child under heaven calling his own wife a disgrace. What about Doctor Truong here? Doctor Truong has just judged me, how in this world does any child talk to his own wife like that?"

The old lady frowned and was about to kick people out, so I smiled and said:

"Miss Xuan also has a sincere heart. I just found out that Doctor Truong is also here. Let's try this breakfast together."

The old lady's mood is quite good today, hearing that also erases Concubine Xuan's recent rudeness and disrespect.

"Okay, just bring it here, let me see what delicious food it is."

Giang Hoai Du couldn't stop it anymore, so she couldn't help but watch as Concubine Xuan placed that box of poisoned cakes in front of Old Lady and Doctor Truong. He clenched his fists, staring at Doctor Truong's face. He's probably betting. Bet even a genius doctor like Truong Cam would not be able to detect the strangeness in this piece of cake. His bet was not wrong. No matter how divine Truong Cam is, he is only proficient in medical theory, but he can be said to be completely ignorant of the art of poison preparation. Unfortunately, even before Truong Cam entered the capital, I intentionally let him "accidentally" know about this poison. So when the lid of the food box was opened and the faint sweet smell of almonds emanated, Truong Cam's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

“Old lady.” Truong Cam raised his hand to stop the Old Lady's movement of picking up the cake.

"What's wrong, Doctor Truong?"

Truong Cam's lips moved, seemingly hesitant. The house is tall and wide, so it's not uncommon for people to be poisoned by drugs. He is a doctor from outside, there is absolutely no need to get involved in this mud. I gently tapped the tea cup in my hand. I chose Truong Cam, not only because of his excellent medical skills, but what he said was extremely prestigious. But also because he was an extremely upright person, not someone who couldn't help but see death. Sure enough, when the old lady was about to put the cake in her mouth again, Truong Cam finally couldn't help but speak:

“Old lady, please put this thing aside, I'm afraid there is a problem with this thing.”

The old lady was bewildered: "What's the problem?" Truong Cam looked around the room and said: "Can you tell the servants in the palace to catch some ants?" Although the old lady did not understand, based on her trust in Truong Cam, she immediately sent someone to work. Xuan di The mother also had a curious face, not at all seeing that this matter had anything to do with her. Giang Hoai Du stood in the corner, his face gloomy, cold sweat beaded on his forehead. At this moment, he can completely pretend to be crazy and stupid, drawing everyone's attention away from the cake, to cover up this matter. But with Doctor Truong here, being exposed is only a matter of sooner or later. At that time, his current act of pretending to be crazy would only confirm that the poison was caused by him. The only thing he can rely on right now is only a small bit of luck left. The maid in the old lady's yard quickly caught more than a dozen ants. Doctor Truong took a small piece of cake, crushed it with his fingers and put it in a bowl. The ants that were crawling aimlessly around quickly gathered around the sweet piece of cake. Concubine Xuan looked for a while and then said: "Doctor Truong, what's strange about these ants gathering around the cake?" As soon as the words finished, an ant suddenly rolled to the edge of the bowl, swung its legs twice, and lay motionless. Next comes the second and third children. Less than a moment later, all the ants were scattered and dead.

The old lady's face had already changed, she glared at Concubine Xuan, even her hands were shaking:

“You little brat, are you planning on poisoning me to death!”

Nuong Xuan finally woke up, so scared that Hoa Dung lost her color and waved her hand in panic:

"This has nothing to do with me. This is what Du brother brought to me. I also ate a lot a few days ago!"

Speaking of this, her face suddenly changed color, looking extremely surprised at Giang Hoai Du who was silently in the corner.

"Du brother, you... this cake was originally brought for me to eat, was it you... you intended to poison me to death?"

The expressions on the faces of the people in the room at this moment can be said to be extremely unique. The breath Jiang Hoai Du held for so long finally completely deflated. But after all, he was not a real seven-year-old child. After a moment of panic, he immediately took on an innocent look:

"Little lady, what are you talking about? Who intended to poison you to death?"

Doctor Truong's eyes flickered between Concubine Xuan and Giang Hoai Du, and finally slowly opened his mouth:

“Although this thing can instantly take the life of this small ant, it is not that toxic to humans.”

Before Lang Suong came to inform me, Concubine Xuan had indeed eaten quite a few boxes of this cake, and could not help but ask nervously:

“So, it's okay to eat a few boxes, right?”

Doctor Truong replied: "It's okay to eat it occasionally, but this toxicity is not easily excreted from the body. If continuously used for half a year or more, the toxicity accumulates, first there will be stiffness in the limbs, dizziness and difficulty breathing. A year later, the limbs will not be able to move normally, and the five internal organs will be completely destroyed. Unable to eat or drink, you can only drink a little thin soup to prolong your life."

“Just like that, barely surviving, I can live another two or three years.”
