The people around rushed forward to help the Gu woman. Those who were holding the poisoned people were even more horrified when they saw the Gu woman's condition.

Liu Yueru immediately ordered her servants to carry the witch to the mansion and have the palace doctor treat her.

The few people behind who were poisoned and had black lines on their foreheads were tied up.

"I will help you to remove the poison tomorrow when grandma feels better. For those who are still poisoned, please come to the front and get the pills to take back."

As soon as Liu Yueru's voice fell, several inopportune voices rang out from the crowd.

"What's going on? We've been waiting in line for so long and it's almost our turn, but he fainted."

"Why did you faint at this time, rather than earlier? Don't you want to cure us? If so, why did you give us such hope in the first place?"

Liu Yueru didn't expect that those people could still say such words after seeing the witch fainted.

Anger suddenly rose in his heart, and he looked at those people and said, "You are just standing here waiting for grandma to cure you, but grandma has been busy since she arrived, and now she is old and her body can't bear it, so she fainted, and you said such heartbreaking words."

"Don't think we don't know. Those poisons came from your Liu Mansion. The reason why Lord Liu has never shown up is that he was the first to be poisoned and then spread the poison."

"What you Liu family did for the people was only for yourselves. Stop pretending to be a good person here."

The man looked at Liu Yueru with disdain, and then said to the people behind him, "Since the Liu family is unwilling to help us get rid of the poison, let's go to Prime Minister Ye's residence. Miss Ye is kind and talented, and she is sincere in doing things for the people."

"Walk."

After the man finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The remaining people stood there in a dilemma. Liu Yueru said, "It's up to you to go or stay. If you need the Liu Mansion to help you get rid of the poison, then come up and get the pills. When grandma is better, she will notify everyone to come back and help you get rid of the poison."

Liu Yueru didn't say anything else.

Instead, let those people think for themselves.

After all, you can't keep those who want to leave.

The remaining crowd began to walk towards the Prime Minister's Mansion in twos and threes.

Those who stayed behind were the people who followed the Liu Mansion.

They lined up in an orderly manner and received pills from the servants of the Liu Mansion.

Those who had been cured were arranged to stay elsewhere and isolated from the people in Kyoto to ensure that no one would slip through the net.

After the court doctor examined the Gu Po, he found that fortunately she had just fainted due to overwork and there was nothing serious going on.

The Gu woman wanted to get up and continue to remove the poison from the people outside, but Liu Yueru raised her hand and gently pressed her down.

He said to her, "Your health is important. Take a good rest today. It won't be too late to go tomorrow."

In her previous life, she worked herself to death, but no one appreciated her kindness.

If the witch had heard what happened outside, she would probably feel even colder in her heart.

After these days of traveling, the witch's body was indeed a little exhausted.

Just after getting up, I clearly felt that my body was overdrawn and all the bones in my body were aching.

"I have sent those people back. You should have a good rest. When you feel better, I will notify people to come." Liu Yueru gently tucked the corner of the quilt for her, then got up and left.

Liu Zimo also put on his clothes and came out at this time, and happened to bump into Liu Yueru.

"Brother, you are still injured, why are you coming out at this time?"

Liu Zimo looked in the direction of the city gate and saw that the fighting there had become much smaller.

The sky was gray and brightening.

The two came to the main hall.

Liu Zimo couldn't help but said with some worry, "Your elder brother hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what the situation is like over there."

"With the help of gunpowder and Big Brother's wisdom, I believe those people from the northern border will be unable to escape."

Liu Yueru looked at Liu Zimo's pale face and asked in confusion, "Brother, didn't you go out to look for your eldest brother? Why did the carriage suddenly change its route?"

"Where did you go? Why couldn't the people I sent out to look for you find any trace of you? When they came back, you were all poisoned."

When Liu Zimo mentioned this, his expression suddenly turned ugly. He explained to Liu Yueru, "After I left the house, I was heading towards the city gate. But when I turned the corner, I saw a familiar figure and wanted to chase him. Then we were led into an alley that changed, like a maze."

"When we realized something was wrong and wanted to turn around to leave, the door had already changed and we couldn't find a way out, so we could only walk inside."

When Liu Zimo recalled the details of the process, his scalp went numb.

"On both sides of the passage were hung various human skeletons, including the hideous severed hands of babies, short legs with taut muscles, heads covered with wounds, eyes that were about to burst, and women's..."

Liu Zimo really couldn't go on. The further he went on, the more terrified he looked. Those people must have been tortured to death.

He had lived in Kyoto for so long and didn't know there was such a secret passage here.

Liu Yueru saw the fear on Liu Zimo's face and asked in confusion, "What else? What happened next?"

Liu Zimo's expression became somewhat panicked. After looking at Liu Yueru for a long time, he slowly spoke, "I, I saw our mother there."

"Mother?" Liu Yueru's face suddenly darkened, full of shock.

Liu Zimo also found it difficult to accept such a thing and nodded slightly at her.

The two were silent for a long time.

Liu Yueru came back to her senses: "So, you suddenly changed your path just to chase after your mother?"

"Yes."

"Second brother, did you see the other person's appearance clearly? Maybe they are just similar." Liu Yueru asked tentatively.

But Liu Zimo shook his head and said to her confidently, "I won't make a mistake. That person is my mother. It's just that she still looks as young as before. Her gestures are exactly like my mother's."

Just as young!

Liu Yueru murmured, "But our mother is no longer alive. How could she suddenly appear? If so, why didn't she come to see us all these years?"

Liu Zimo shook his head. "I just glanced at my mother from a distance. She seemed to be pointing the way out for me. I wanted to catch up with her, but found that she had disappeared."

"What's the matter with the poison in your body?" Liu Yueru was full of doubts.

"I don't know either. We were anxious to find an exit, so we groped around everywhere. We searched for a long time, but in the end we were tired and still couldn't find an exit. We stood there to rest, and then there was smoke in the air. We don't know what happened after that."
