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

As night deepened, Murong Xuewei and Liuli quietly arrived at the inn where Zhao Lie was staying in a carriage.

Murong Xuewei gently knocked on the door and said softly, "General Zhao, it's me, Murong Xuewei. I have important matters to discuss with you. Please open the door."

A rustling sound came from inside the door. A moment later, Zhao Lie cautiously opened the door. "Madam Murong? What brings you here so late?"

Murong Xuewei's expression was solemn. "General Zhao, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me a moment to speak with you."

Zhao Lie hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside. Murong Xuewei and Liuli quickly entered and closed the door.

Zhao Lie poured Murong Xuewei a cup of tea. "I wonder if Madam has something to discuss with me so late?"

"General Zhao, I have just received news that someone may be planning to poison you at the banquet held in the palace tomorrow." Murong Xuewei didn't have time for pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Zhao Lie was shocked upon hearing this. "Is this true? Does Madam Murong have any evidence?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head. "There's no conclusive evidence yet, but the source is reliable. I've come here without warning to urge General Zhao to be extra careful and guard against any unforeseen circumstances."

Zhao Lie frowned in thought, "This humble general believes in you, Madam. However, given the current relationship between Taichu Kingdom and Qu Kingdom, your reminder, without evidence, may be difficult to convince others!"

Murong Xuewei's expression was sincere. "General Zhao, I have known His Highness the Prince of Nangong for a long time. Although we are from opposing countries, I do not wish to see our two nations clash with each other due to the schemes of villains. Please believe in my intentions, General Zhao."

Liuli was also extremely anxious. Suddenly, she remembered the man in black she had seen in the secret room earlier that day, who had a black mole on his neck.

"General Zhao, may I ask if any of your envoys visiting this time have a large black mole on the right side of their neck?" Liuli asked anxiously.

Zhao Lie thought for a moment, "Miss Liuli, there is indeed such a person among the people we've met this time. He's the deputy envoy for these negotiations. You mention him, so you know him, right?"

Liuli originally wanted to tell Zhao Lie what happened in the dark room today, but she felt that Zhao Lie wouldn't believe her if she told him.

This peace talk was originally proposed by ***, so how could *** collude with the people of Qu Kingdom and even try to harm the envoy of Qu Kingdom? Wouldn't that go against her original intention?

"Oh dear! I don't know how to tell you, but please, General, pay close attention to this person."

Zhao Lie remained silent for a long time before finally nodding. "I understand. Thank you, Madam Murong and Miss Liuli, for risking your lives to inform me. I will certainly be careful."

Murong Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. General Zhao, please be careful and leave immediately if anything seems amiss. We'll take our leave now."

After leaving the inn, Murong Xuewei and Liuli quickly returned to the General's Mansion. Along the way, Murong Xuewei was preoccupied, frequently glancing towards the distant imperial palace.

"Madam, what are you worried about?" Liuli asked softly.

Murong Xuewei sighed, "I'm thinking that even if we successfully thwart this conspiracy, Xiao Wanning will likely have other tricks up her sleeve. Moreover, Nangong Yifeng is still in danger."

Liuli comforted her, "Madam, don't worry too much. We've found the antidote. As long as His Highness the Prince is safe, I believe there's still room for maneuver between our two countries."

Murong Xuewei nodded. "You're right. However, I have a feeling things aren't that simple. There's probably a bigger conspiracy behind Xiao Wanning's move."

Upon returning to the General's Mansion, Murong Xuewei immediately went to visit Nangong Yifeng.

Gu Ye was standing guard by the bedside. When she came in, he gave her a complicated look.

"Madam, you're still up so late?" Gu Ye asked casually.

Murong Xuewei's heart tightened, but she gave a sweet smile. "I was worried about Prince Nangong's situation, so I came to check. Although the antidote has been found, I don't know if Xiao Wanning has used any other poisons."

Gu Ye nodded, a little jealous. "Ever since Nangong Yifeng came to the capital, you've been showing him almost more concern than I have. Aren't you afraid I'll get jealous?"

Murong Xuewei sensed the jealousy in his words and gave a wry smile.

Murong Xuewei knew that she had indeed neglected Gu Ye because of Nangong Yifeng's matter.

But Murong Xuewei also knew that Gu Ye's willingness to say these things meant that he understood her actions.

"Alright, I was wrong. After we finish these things, General, let's go to Jiangnan! It's been over a year since we came to the capital, and I've started to miss my parents." Murong Xuewei reached out and hugged Gu Ye, resting her head against his chest.

Gu Ye put his arm around Murong Xuewei, but his hand froze when he heard Murong Xuewei's words.

Murong Xuewei received no response from Gu Ye for a long time. She looked up and found that Gu Ye was lost in thought.

"General, how is Nangong Yifeng?" Murong Xuewei asked, changing the subject.

Gu Ye then came to his senses and released Murong Xuewei. "The situation isn't looking good. I've already sent someone to fetch Zhang Jing; I hope he can arrive as soon as possible."

Murong Xuewei nodded, "That's good. Doctor Zhang's medical skills are superb; I hope Nangong Yifeng can turn this danger into safety."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Uncle Lin rushed in, his face grim. "General, this old servant has something to report."

Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei turned around at the same time. "What's wrong?"

Uncle Lin glanced at Murong Xuewei, unsure whether he should speak.

Murong Xuewei was about to leave when Gu Ye reached out and grabbed her.

"Uncle Lin, Xuewei is my wife, not an outsider. You don't need to hide anything from her."

Uncle Lin took a deep breath. "I just received news that the deserter you were looking for has been found by our people in Yuncheng. He's in Yuncheng now."

When Murong Xuewei heard the name Yuncheng, she was startled. Could it be that Gu Ye had already stationed troops in Yuncheng at this time in his previous life?

Gu Ye said in a deep voice, "Alright, I understand. Tell the people in Yuncheng to keep a close watch on the person and ensure they are protected until I arrive, and that they are not harmed in any way."

Uncle Lin gave Murong Xuewei a mysterious look, then turned and left, leaving the room in silence.

Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye exchanged a glance, and Gu Ye sighed.

"Do you have a lot of questions you want to ask me?"

Murong Xuewei first nodded, then shook her head.

Although Murong Xuewei was very curious, she also knew that sometimes the more you know, the faster you die.

Gu Ye gently patted Murong Xuewei's head. "You don't need to be so careful in front of me. You're my wife, and you can know everything about me."

Murong Xuewei's eyes lit up, "Really? Then you're in Yuncheng..."

Just then, Nangong Yifeng suddenly coughed violently, and his face became even paler.

Murong Xuewei quickly stepped forward and supported him.

"Liuli, hurry, bring the antidote!" Murong Xuewei called out to Liuli urgently.

Liuli quickly pushed open the door and entered, taking out a porcelain bottle containing the antidote from her bosom and handing it to Gu Ye.

Gu Ye hesitated for a moment, but still took the antidote and carefully fed it to Nangong Yifeng.

However, Nangong Yifeng's condition did not improve immediately; instead, it became even more painful.

Murong Xuewei was extremely anxious. "How could this happen? Could there be a problem with the antidote?"

Gu Ye frowned in thought. "Perhaps the poison is too strong, and the antidote needs time to take effect. We can only wait for Zhang Jing to arrive now."
