The executioner was none other than Lu Hong, the current prime minister and a very influential figure in the court.
Looking at General Wu being escorted to the execution platform, Prime Minister Lu sighed, glanced at the sun, and said, "The time has come. The evidence of Wu Yue's murder of Tao Rong, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is conclusive. According to the law, he should be executed. His identity has now been verified. Execution will proceed!"
After saying that, Lu Hong threw the indictment away.
The offender's plaque fell to the ground, and the executioner's knife fell swiftly.
Blood splattered everywhere, and General Wu's head rolled to the ground, his body falling to the ground.
The crowd of onlookers knelt on the ground, weeping all around, "General Wu, may you rest in peace!"
Then someone came and picked up General Wu's head, carried his body away quickly, and just passed in front of Su Ruojin and the others standing in the front row. The general's hands were hanging limply at his sides.
Su Ruojin glanced at it, her eyes flashing slightly.
"Husband, what kind of person do you know General Wu to be?"
Husband?
Xiao Yanchu raised an eyebrow; this was the first time A Jin had ever called him that.
Listening to this... feels so good.
Their group had infiltrated the Kingdom of Xiaoyue. It was never good for a regent and his queen to be discovered when they infiltrated another country.
Su Ruojin should stop calling Xiao Yanchu by his name; just in case, it would be more appropriate to address him as her husband.
“Madam, as far as I know, General Wu is an upright and incorruptible man, and is deeply loved by the people of Xiaoyue Kingdom.”
If it weren't for this, so many people wouldn't have spontaneously come to bid farewell to General Wu.
When Su Ruojin heard Xiao Yanchu call her "Madam," she rolled her eyes at him, but the corners of her mouth also twitched slightly.
Suddenly, Wu Ziyun's scream rang out, "Mother, Mother, what's wrong, Mother?"
Su Ruojin looked over and saw Madam Wu with her eyes closed, lying in Wu Ziyun's arms.
She must have fainted from excessive grief.
"Pinch the philtrum! Quickly pinch the philtrum!" The onlookers were also anxious and rushed to offer suggestions.
Wu Ziyun panicked and pinched Madam Wu's philtrum with trembling hands.
Even though her philtrum was bruised from being pinched, Madam Wu still hadn't woken up. Then, black blood began to flow from the corner of her mouth.
Su Ruojin's eyes narrowed. This wasn't due to excessive grief, but rather poisoning!
"Ah, Mother, what's wrong, Mother?" Wu Ziyun and her brother's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this. Even though they didn't know much about medicine, they knew that their mother's condition was definitely not due to excessive grief.
"Yanluo." Su Ruojin called out, and Yanluo immediately understood and stepped out of the crowd.
"Miss Wu, I am a doctor, may I take a look?"
Upon hearing that it was a doctor, Wu Ziyun felt as if she had grasped a lifeline. Without any hesitation, she pleaded, "Doctor, please, please save my mother. I will do anything to repay you."
Yanluo took her pulse and her expression changed. Madam Wu had been poisoned, and with her current medical skills, she couldn't save her. Only her young lady could help.
But now, with everyone watching, it's inconvenient for the young lady to make a move.
Yanluo took out a pill from her bosom and fed it to Madam Wu. "Miss Wu, could you please find a quiet room? Madam Wu needs acupuncture treatment, and we need to be quick!"
The pills she gave to the witch could only temporarily suppress the poison, not cure it.
"Miss Wu, please come to my inn," an innkeeper in the crowd said.
"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss."
At this point, the Wu siblings no longer cared whether the other party was a good person or a bad person; all they cared about was saving their mother.
Wu Yichen picked up his mother and ran towards the inn.
Yan Luo followed first, while Su Ruojin and the others deliberately lagged behind.
Upon arriving at the inn, Yanluo followed the Wu family mother and her two children into the room prepared by the innkeeper, while Su Ruojin and the others disguised themselves as ordinary guests and booked three rooms.
