I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

"It's nothing. The most important thing right now is to find someone who can remove the poison. Eventually we can bring that person back to Kyoto to help everyone take a look." Liu Zimo said calmly.

Liu Yueru nodded slightly.

But Liu Zhengtang felt really uncomfortable being tied up like this. He twisted his body and looked at everyone helplessly.

"I'm awake now and there's nothing to worry about. You can untie the ropes on me first." Liu Zhengtang said with a bitter look on his face.

Liu Yueru looked at Liu Zhengtang with some concern. Xie Jingrui was the first to speak: "It's okay. Everything will be fine as long as I'm here."

With Xie Jingrui's words, everyone untied the ropes on Liu Zhengtang.

He stood up and stretched his muscles, then reached out and touched the back of his neck. There was a swelling. Liu Zhengtang knew without hesitation that it was the work of his eldest son.

He glared fiercely in the direction of Liu Fufeng.

Liu Fufeng touched his head, gave Liu Zhengtang a toothy smile, and lowered his head.

Liu Yueru's voice sounded again, and she asked Liu Zhengtang: "When mother was sick, did the doctor tell her what the cause was?"

Liu Zhengtang thought about it carefully and said, "You were only two years old at that time, and your mother was in good health. But one time you accidentally fell into the flower bed and your mother pulled you out of the flower bed. Later, she caught a cold and has been recuperating in her room."

"She was getting better at first, but then your eldest brother had a fever and your mother stayed up all night to watch over him for two nights. She couldn't handle it and eventually collapsed. Since then, her health has been getting worse. The imperial physician came to see her and said that she was too weak. No matter how much medicine she took or how much tonic she took, it was of no use."

Liu Yueru listened carefully to what Liu Zhengtang said, her eyes never leaving his face, trying to find a different expression on his face.

Seeing Liu Zhengtang's frank expression, Liu Yueru finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "At that time, Zhao Wanyan had already come to the Liu Mansion. I heard that she had been guarding her mother's side at that time. Is this true?"

Liu Zhengtang then showed a strange expression on his face, and looked at Liu Yueru puzzledly and said, "At that time, Zhao Wanyan was only brought back to the mansion to be a maid. I didn't have any other feelings for her. I don't know why your mother felt like she had known Zhao Wanyan for a long time and insisted on making Zhao Wanyan my concubine. She also said that it was her dying wish."

"When your mother was seriously ill, it was Zhao Wanyan who always took care of her. Did you know that? At that time, the two of them were like sisters. This is also the reason why you brothers and sisters were willing to call her mother later."

Liu Yueru's hands kept tightening. Thinking of the years when they had accepted a thief as their mother, her face instantly turned a little embarrassed. "When mother died, her body was festering. Did she cry out in pain?"

Liu Zhengtang was puzzled by Liu Yueru's question. He looked at Liu Yueru with a puzzled look and said, "I have never told you these things. Your mother has never cried out in pain in front of you. How did you know this?"

"Is there?" Liu Yueru did not answer, but continued to ask with slightly red eyes.

Liu Zhengtang also noticed that Liu Yueru's expression was not right, and he immediately explained, "Yes, at that time your mother's skin was all festering, her internal organs were all necrotic, and she even emitted a foul odor. She cried out in pain day and night, and in the end..."

Liu Zhengtang's voice became choked up as he spoke. "It was my father's fault. In the end, I personally ended your mother's life. I knew I shouldn't have kept this secret from you. I wanted to wait until you were older before telling you, but after a while, I didn't have the courage to say it out loud."

As Liu Zhengtang spoke, he raised his hands to cover his face. The thought of his own hands personally knowing the life of the person he loved most became a hurdle in his heart.

After hearing this, Liu Fufeng and Liu Zimo stood there in a daze, looking at Liu Zhengtang with some disbelief.

After hearing this, Liu Yueru heaved a sigh of relief and stepped forward to put the handkerchief in Liu Zhengtang's hand. "Father should have told us at that time to send our mother off for the last time."

Liu Zhengtang looked up at the expressions on their faces and shook his head, "No, your mother won't let you. She is so afraid of pain. When you went to see her, she couldn't help but hold back. She said she wanted to leave her dignity to you. She wanted you to remember her most beautiful side."

Liu Yueru's eyes turned slightly red, and her eyes were full of heartache. She explained with a hoarse voice: "If Zhao Wanyan hadn't told me this, would father have kept it a secret from us forever? Father, do you know the real reason for mother's death?"

Liu Zimo looked at Liu Fufeng on the side, and his expression became solemn when he thought of what the genius doctor Yunhe had said to them.

Liu Zimo said with a trembling voice, "It's a poison. The poison in my brother's body is the same as the one in my mother's body."

Liu Fufeng looked at Liu Yueru and then at Liu Zhengtang, who also had a shocked expression on his face.

"Yes, mother's illness is the same as what Doctor Yunhe said my eldest brother suffered from. In the end, his skin ulcerated, his internal organs rotted, and he died in pain." Liu Yueru's voice sounded softly.

But the anger in his words did not diminish.

It turned out that Zhao Wanyan had been playing a big game from the very beginning, and they were just chess pieces that Zhao Wanyan could use.

Everyone suddenly felt a chill down their spine.

When Liu Zhengtang thought of this, anger suddenly rose in his heart. Suddenly his face turned ugly and he covered his heart with his hand.

"Father!" Liu Yueru called out.

Liu Zimo was the first to react and pulled Liu Yueru back: "Yue'er, don't go. Father is being controlled by someone."

The words fell.

Liu Zhengtang suddenly rushed towards Liu Yueru, as if to strangle her neck with both hands.

Xie Jingrui flashed behind Liu Zhengtang and chopped him hard.

Only then did Liu Zhengcang fall down.

Everyone worked together to carry him back to the bed.

Xie Jingrui carefully stepped forward to check Liu Yueru's injuries. Seeing five red nail scratches on her neck, Xie Jingrui held her in his arms with a distressed look and shouted skillfully, "Call the doctor."

The court doctor came over to treat Liu Yueru's wound, and left after finding it was not serious.

Everyone sat together, their faces becoming extremely solemn.

Liu Fufeng glanced at Liu Zhengtang, then sighed and said, "Tomorrow I will set out to the border area to look for that person. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the safety of the capital. Father is in such a state now, so he needs people around him. It's better to tie him up. Although it will be painful, it can at least ensure everyone's safety."

Liu Fufeng then turned to look at Liu Yueru and said, "Mumu should stay with Yue'er for the time being. That incident was a big blow to her. She wakes up crying every night."

"Okay." Liu Yueru agreed one by one.

While a few people were talking, a little head suddenly flashed by outside.
