The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Gu Ye looked at Murong Xuewei seriously, "No, it's too dangerous, you can't go."

“Zhang Jing also said that he can only suppress Nangong Yifeng’s poison. Nangong Yifeng’s condition is not optimistic right now. If we don’t find an antidote soon, he may…” Murong Xuewei’s voice was low and firm.

Upon hearing this, Liuli frowned slightly, her worry evident. "Madam, the *** mansion is heavily guarded; you cannot go. Why don't you let me go instead? I'm agile and skilled; even if I'm discovered, I'm confident I can escape."

Murong Xuewei pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement. "Alright. You must be careful. If anything seems amiss, evacuate immediately. We still need Zhang Jing to handle the antidote, so you absolutely mustn't force it," she solemnly instructed, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

Liuli smiled slightly, "Madam, rest assured, this servant will act carefully and bring back the antidote as soon as possible."

As night fell, Liuli deftly scaled the walls of the *** mansion, slipping into the mansion silently like a ghost.

Liuli cautiously avoided the patrolling guards and quietly made her way to the outside of the study.

Liuli held her breath, pressed her face against the window, and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the room.

After confirming that no one was around, Liuli carefully pushed open the door and slipped inside.

Moonlight streamed through the window lattice, and Liuli used it to see the layout of the study.

Xiao Wan stood still, and the bookshelves in her study were not filled with the Four Books and Five Classics or the Precepts for Women, but rather with military books and strategies.

Liuli was a little curious. This ***'s study was not filled with books on music, chess, calligraphy, or music, but rather with military strategy books.

Considering Nangong Yifeng's current situation, Liuli didn't have time to be curious and started rummaging through the bookshelf.

Liuli quickly searched the bookshelves and drawers, but still couldn't find the medicine.

Just as Liuli was about to give up, her hand inadvertently touched an ancient book on the bookshelf.

With a soft "click," the bookshelf slowly moved, revealing a hidden entrance to a secret passage.

Liuli's heart tightened, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to find out what was going on.

Liuli carefully made her way through the dimly lit passageway and came to a secret, dark room. By the dim candlelight, she saw a shelf displaying all sorts of colorful bottles and jars.

Liuli started searching through the shelves one by one, following the labels, and each shelf she found surprised her greatly.

Because the shelf was full of all kinds of poisons, some of which Liuli had never even heard of.

Normally, Liuli would definitely take some of these poisons with her and have Murong Xuewei study them, but Liuli couldn't care less about that now.

Liuli carefully examined the labels on each bottle and finally found a small porcelain bottle in the corner with the words "Qu She Jie" written on it.

Liuli quickly put the porcelain bottle into her bosom and was about to leave when she suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Liuli instantly became alert and quickly hid behind a screen to the side.

Liuli held her breath and, through the gap in the screen, vaguely saw Xiao Wanning and a man in black enter the dark room.

Liuli slowed her breathing, trying her best to hide herself.

Hearing Xiao Wanning say that.

"Is everything ready?" Xiao Wan Ning asked in a low voice, her tone tinged with urgency.

The man in black respectfully replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, the poison is ready and awaits your command."

Xiao Wan Ning nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Tomorrow, you must put this poison into the Qu Kingdom envoy's wine. Remember, it must be done discreetly, leaving no trace."

The man in black hesitated for a moment. "Damn it, what about Jiang Lingyun? After all, he's representing the Taichu Kingdom in these peace talks."

Xiao Wan Ning sneered, "Just Jiang Lingyun. Besides, I've made thorough preparations and have my own ways to frame Gu Ye for this. Gu Ye dared to kill my confidant; he should have known the consequences of opposing me."

Upon hearing this, Liuli was greatly alarmed. She held her breath, afraid of making the slightest sound and revealing her presence.

Xiao Wan Ning continued, "After Gu Ye is eliminated, with that idiot Xiao Yi around, the Tai Chu Kingdom will be mine sooner or later."

Xiao Wan Ning clenched her fists, looking confident, as if the Tai Chu Kingdom was already hers for the taking.

The man in black suddenly realized, "So *** had already made arrangements. I understand, I'll go and carry it out immediately."

Xiao Wan Ning nodded in satisfaction, "Go, and remember, this matter must not be leaked."

After the two left, Liuli breathed a sigh of relief once she confirmed that they were safe.

Thinking about the conversation between Xiao Wanning and the man in black, Liuli knew that she had discovered a big secret.

Liuli quickly emerged from behind the screen, quietly left the dark room, and returned along the same route.

Liuli rushed back to the General's Mansion and went straight to Murong Xuewei's room.

Seeing Liuli's travel-worn appearance, Murong Xuewei quickly stepped forward to greet her, "How did it go? Did you find the antidote?"

Liuli nodded and took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom. "Madam, the antidote is here. However, I've discovered something even more important."

Liuli carefully walked to the door, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then closed the door.

He quietly recounted the conversation he had overheard in the dark room to Murong Xuewei in detail.

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuewei's face darkened. Her brows furrowed. "Xiao Wanning's move is ruthless. If she succeeds, not only will Gu Ye be doomed, but the Taichu Kingdom and the Qu Kingdom will be completely opposed, and the people of both countries will suffer immensely."

Liuli asked worriedly, "Madam, what should we do?"

Murong Xuewei pondered for a moment, a resolute glint in her eyes. "We must find a way to inform the people of Qu Kingdom and warn them to be on guard." Murong Xuewei then considered the current situation between Taichu and Qu Kingdoms. "But relations between Taichu and Qu Kingdoms are tense right now. If we rashly go to inform them, we might be seen as having ulterior motives."

Liuli was extremely anxious. "What should we do?! Are we just going to watch that *** poison the people of Qu Kingdom and then frame the general?"

Murong Xuewei caught a glimpse of Nangong Yifeng lying on the bed out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly thought, "That's right, Nangong Yifeng's confidant, Zhao Lie! We can use him to pass on messages."

Liuli's eyes lit up. "Madam is wise! Zhao Lie is Young Master Nangong's confidant, and he has dealt with us before. If it's him, he'll definitely believe us if we tell him."

Murong Xuewei nodded, "That's settled then. You go prepare the carriage; we'll go find Zhao Lie tonight."
