Before long, Madam Qi's face bloomed with an unnatural red.
Unaware of any issue, she continued to eat her midnight snack. It wasn't until her body began itching that she sensed something amiss, "Why is it so itchy?"
"Is it?" Hua Ziyan set down his late-night snack to observe Madam Qi.
These were the signs of the fragrant poison taking effect.
"Very itchy. Am I having an allergic reaction?" Madam Qi began to scratch herself. The more she scratched, the itchier she became, and soon her entire body was unbearably itchy, "No, I need to go to the hospital."
"Sit down." Hua Ziyan snatched Madam Qi's bag away, blocking her path.
Madam Qi finally realized something was wrong and asked, "Hua Ziyan, what are you trying to do?"
A sweet, metallic smell rose to her throat. Madam Qi couldn't stop coughing, and when she took a tissue, it was spotted with blood!
"I, cough up blood?" Madam Qi's complexion changed drastically.
