Gu Ye picked up Murong Xuewei in one go. Murong Xuewei turned around and looked at Xiao Sining, deliberately wrapping her arms around Gu Ye's neck.

"Princess, my husband and I have other matters to attend to and must take our leave first."

Xiao Wan Ning stared at Gu Ye holding Murong Xue Wei, gritting her teeth and her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Murong Xuewei, you are shameless. How can you hug and kiss like that in broad daylight?"

Murong Xuewei disagreed, "Princess, you are mistaken. My husband and I are already married and have sworn brotherhood. It's normal for us to hug and cuddle. On the contrary, it's not appropriate for a woman like you, who is not yet married, to keep staring at us!"

"You..." Xiao Sining was speechless after being rebuked by Murong Xuewei.

Gu Ye carried Murong Xuewei out of the crowd and placed her on the carriage.

"I have other matters to attend to at the military camp, so I won't accompany you back. The driver is someone I brought from the military camp; he's quite skilled."

Although Gu Ye didn't say a single word of concern for Murong Xuewei, every word he uttered conveyed his care for her.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy! It's just a few steps from here to the General's Mansion, it's no problem."

Gu Ye gazed tenderly at Murong Xuewei, his hand pressing down on the curtain, unwilling to let go.

Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei and then at Gu Ye. "General, why don't you come back with us?"

"No, you all go back first! I still have some military affairs to attend to."

"But General, our carriage can't move if you don't loosen the curtain!" Liuli complained.

Gu Ye then realized that he was still holding the curtain. He quickly let go.

The carriage then slowly began to move, and Murong Xuewei would occasionally look back.

Liuli rested her chin on her hands and said, "Madam, why don't you go to the military camp with the general?"

Murong Xuewei rolled her eyes at Liuli and tapped Gu Ye's forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"But seeing you and the general so reluctant to part, it really breaks my heart!"

"What do you mean by 'hard to part'? You've even learned to use idioms after just one trip to the capital."

Liuli chuckled, "This servant must have learned something from following Madam every day!"

Murong Xuewei suddenly became interested and asked, "Then let me ask you! After what happened to that *** shop, what tricks do you think they'll come up with to deal with me next?"

This question really stumped Liuli. "This servant isn't a mind reader, so I can't possibly guess what you're thinking!"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Murong Xuewei's eyes. "Since we can't figure it out, why don't we make the first move?"

Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei in surprise, "Madam, are you going to kidnap the eldest prince? That's a capital offense!"

Murong Xuewei smacked Liuli on the head again, "Are you stupid? Does your wife look like she would think of doing something so foolish?"

Liuli stared intently at Murong Xuewei's face, scrutinizing it repeatedly, and finally concluded, "She looks like her!"

Enraged, Murong Xuewei delivered another powerful blow.

Liuli rubbed her reddened forehead. "Madam can't be hit anymore. She's not very smart to begin with, and if you keep hitting her, she'll become completely unintelligent."

Liuli glanced at Murong Xuewei cautiously, "Besides, didn't you ask me? I just said what I had in mind."

Murong Xuewei sighed. It would be difficult to hear any profound strategies from Liuli in this lifetime!

While the master and servant were discussing, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.

Murong Xuewei alighted from the carriage and led Liuli to the study. Murong Xuewei went directly to the desk and picked up paper and pen.

With her eyes closed, she kept recalling the relationships she had with Xiao Wanning in her past life.

Based on the names of people that Murong Xuewei could access in her previous life, she wrote them down on a piece of paper.

One of these people was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, another was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the third was the Assistant Director of the Court of Judicial Review.

These three people openly helped Xiao Wanning in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Court of Judicial Review, respectively. Many people in the court were sent into power by Xiao Wanning through these three.

This also led to the situation where, no matter how big a mistake Xiao Wan Ning made, she could always get away unscathed.

Liuli looked at the names on the paper with some curiosity.

"Madam, who are these people?"

"These are some people who are related to Xiao Wanning."

"Then why did you write their names down, madam?"

"Since *** wants to undermine me in the business world, then I'll shake her foundation in the court." Murong Xuewei looked sharply at the names on the paper.

Liuli nodded in sudden realization, "Oh! So, Madam, you're trying to steal my husband's girlfriend!"

Murong Xuewei frowned, her eyes full of disdain. "Poaching? What would I do with a bunch of corrupt officials?"

"So, Madam, what do you intend to do?"

Murong Xuewei smiled and said, "Don't they like to accept bribes and send them to the court? We can use them to send our people to the court."

With her eyes shining, Murong Xuewei asked, "Is Madam going to become an official in the imperial court?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head, "Xiao Wanning and I are already openly involved. If we want to use her people to secretly send all of us into the court, then that person cannot be associated with us."

Liuli was confused again. "But we only have so many people. Where are we going to find someone who has nothing to do with us?"

Murong Xuewei suddenly thought of a person whose image had appeared in her mind. If she could win him over and send him to the court, he would definitely be of great help in the future.

"Liuli, prepare the carriage first thing tomorrow morning, and we'll sneak out of the city."

"Ah! What are you going out of the city for?"

Murong Xuewei's lips curled into a smile that reached her eyes, "Of course, we're going to find our mole!"

"Find the mole?"

The next morning, before dawn, Murong Xuewei took Liuli out of the city.

Liuli, driving the carriage, followed the route pointed out by Murong Xuewei, but the road became increasingly deviated from its intended path.

"Madam, is what you're looking for really here?"

As the population dwindled, Murong Xuewei began to feel increasingly uncertain.

When she met that person in her past life, he had already entered the court as an official. That person was constantly opposing Xiao Wan Ning. Murong Xiao Wan Ning wanted to get rid of him, but he happened to be favored by the emperor.

Moreover, that person is very tactful in dealing with people. Even if you know that he is immoral and corrupt, you just can't find the most direct evidence.

In this life, Murong Xuewei acted ahead of time, finding that person before he entered the court. It remains to be seen whether she can bring him under her command.

"Madam, how much longer do we have to walk?" After walking for another half an hour, Liuli couldn't help but ask.

Murong Xuewei wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the vast forests around her.

In her previous life, she had only heard that he lived in this area, but Murong Xuewei had never been there, and she didn't know exactly where he lived.

Just as Murong Xuewei was about to tell Liuli to go home and come back tomorrow, a wisp of green smoke rose from not far away.
