As soon as the Second Lady led Feng Yao and her younger brother out, she immediately summoned the maid who had been following them. After a simple tidying-up and treatment of the visible wounds on their bodies, they rushed towards the main gate.
"Mother, isn't there any other way to solve this?" Feng Yao couldn't bear to imagine the scene of facing everyone and admitting that she had brought the toxin out of the trial ground.
"Unless you don't want the antidote anymore." The Second Lady felt heart - broken when she thought of her daughter's selfish actions before. But since there was little hope for Feng Qing, she couldn't abandon Feng Yao.
To be precise, Feng Chi actually wanted to leave at this moment. However, thinking of Feng Yuqin's words and her undetectable poisoning skills, he didn't dare to escape without permission.
So, although extremely reluctant, the three of them appeared at the main gate.
"Release Feng Yuqin quickly! Your Prime Minister's Mansion is simply ignoring human lives. You've poisoned so many of us. If you don't release Feng Yuqin, we'll go to the emperor!" The voices from outside came through the gate.
These days, it was thanks to the Meng family and Elder Zhao, especially Elder Zhao. Because of the background of the auction house in the Western Song Kingdom, although it seemed less powerful than the royal palace on the surface, the royal family of the Western Song Kingdom would give him face in private. If it were any other mansion with such a ruckus at the gate, the royal family would have intervened long ago.
"If you don't give us an explanation, we'll set the mansion on fire. We'll all die together!" Since the families of the poisoned people had waited for several days without results, they were almost out of control.
The Second Lady was startled when she heard the word "fire". If the mansion was really set on fire, the Prime Minister's Mansion would be finished. During this period, the situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion was like a small boat swaying in the sea, on the verge of sinking at any time. If these people did something extreme, the Prime Minister's Mansion wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Open the gate." The Second Lady said to the guard beside her. Most of the guards in the mansion had gathered here to protect the Second Lady and the other two because they were worried about the situation outside.
"Mother..." Feng Yao was still a little scared. After all, there were so many people. What if they lost their minds and wanted to kill her?
"Don't worry. Feng Yuqin said that the Dark Night Pavilion has the antidote. As long as we tell them this, it should be okay." The Second Lady was also a little nervous as she watched the guard open the gate.
The long - closed main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened, and the people outside got excited.
"Come out! Look, the gate is open!" someone shouted. All eyes were fixed on the main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Second Lady walked out first, but Feng Yao stood still.
"Third Sister, Feng Yuqin only gave us half an hour, and almost half of the time has passed." Feng Chi said.
Feng Yao was extremely reluctant, but she had no choice but to follow.
"Second Lady, where is Feng Yuqin? How long are you going to hide her?"
"Feng Yuqin poisoned so many of us. If you don't hand her over, we'll stay here at your Prime Minister's Mansion forever."
"All the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are in the same boat. Smash it for me!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and then rotten vegetables and smelly eggs were thrown at the Second Lady's face.
Feng Yao was so scared that she immediately stepped back when she saw this scene as soon as she walked out. Feng Chi also didn't expect these people to be so crazy. No wonder Feng Yuqin asked them to handle this. These people dared to throw things without knowing it was them who did it. It showed how much anger they had accumulated in these days.
"I'm not going. You go if you want." Feng Yao saw someone taking the lead to throw things, and the others seemed to have found an outlet for their anger.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiaoying went to the Dark Night Pavilion to deliver the antidote and briefly told them about Feng Yuqin's plan. So Yan Xiao and the others were waiting outside the Prime Minister's Mansion at this moment. Seeing the Second Lady being pelted, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
"We can't let the Second Lady be the only one being pelted. Aren't there Feng Yao and Feng Chi behind?" Meng Xingyu stroked his chin with a wicked smile on his face. Yan Xiao and the others rarely saw Meng Xingyu show such a smile. When he did, there must be some bad idea.
Sure enough, Yan Xiao heard Meng Xingyu say to a subordinate beside him, "Go and get more rotten vegetables and all kinds of smelly and dirty things. Don't let those three mother and children off."
"Yes, Young Master." A subordinate immediately went to make arrangements. There were many onlookers around the Prime Minister's Mansion. There weren't many other things around, but there was a lot of garbage. After Meng Xingyu's men made the arrangements, Yan Xiao and the others were waiting to watch the show.
"Don't throw things at me first. Listen to me." The Second Lady was extremely angry. The guards stepped forward to protect the Second Lady, preventing the people from hitting her. But as more and more people needed to vent their anger, the guards were overwhelmed. Moreover, the guards were also covered in the stinky things, and the Second Lady vomited when she smelled it. What made the Second Lady even angrier was that she saw her son and daughter hiding behind and ignoring her. She was so angry that her whole body trembled.
"Hand over Feng Yuqin quickly. You're just protecting her. Since we can't find Feng Yuqin, we'll have to trouble you."
"Right! Rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion and drag Feng Yuqin out!" someone said out of control.
"Don't! You can't go in." The Second Lady was scared when she saw these people really rushing in, thinking of Feng Yuqin's ruthless methods.
Feng Chi also reacted at this time and said to Feng Yao, "Hurry up and stop these people, or we'll have no hope of getting the antidote."
Hearing that there might be no hope for the antidote, Feng Yao shivered and stepped forward to stop the crowd. "Don't go in. Listen to me first."
"Hurry up and stop them all." Feng Chi summoned more guards to stop these people. The people wanted to go in, and Feng Chi and the others wanted to stop them. The scene got out of control.
Seeing this situation, the Second Lady knew that she couldn't delay any longer. She roared with all her strength, "Your toxins all have antidotes!"
At first, many people didn't react. Seeing this, the Second Lady shouted again. Finally, someone reacted and asked, "What did you say? Our toxins have antidotes?" Some of the poisoned people finally felt a glimmer of hope in their despair.
Seeing that the people finally calmed down, the Second Lady immediately said to everyone, "This has nothing to do with A Qin. Her has nothing to do with your poisoning either."
"How could it have nothing to do with her? We already know that this toxin was brought back by Feng Yuqin from the trial ground."
