Upon hearing this, Meng Yuxiu frowned and pondered, "How would she know about Yuyan?"
Ke Shou respectfully said, "Your subordinate has discovered something."
"What is it?" Meng Yuxiu looked up.
"When my subordinates were investigating Miss Chang, they discovered that others were also investigating her identity."
Meng Yuxiu raised an eyebrow and frowned, asking, "Who?"
"Chu Moyu, Deputy Commander of the Palace Guard," Ke Shoucheng replied.
Meng Yuxiu suddenly clenched his fist, thinking of the handsome man who was more handsome than Pan An, and of Chang Lili's praise of him, and felt a little disgusted.
"What is he investigating Li Li for?" he asked unhappily.
After calming down, he became somewhat worried.
Meng Yuxiu had long suspected Chang Lili's identity. In the past, he was afraid that she was a spy planted by someone. Now, he no longer suspected such things, but he was still curious and worried about her identity.
She possessed an exceptional talent for weapon forging, even being self-taught, which irresistibly reminded him of the previous dynasty, the Great Shun Kingdom.
The people of the Great Shun Kingdom were skilled in weapon forging, and the royal family was especially gifted.
A little calculation reveals that the time when the old woman and Chang Lili appeared out of nowhere was precisely the time when the Great Shun Dynasty collapsed and the Yun Kingdom began to be established from its weakness.
He couldn't help but begin to suspect that Chang Lili might be a remnant of the previous dynasty.
He didn't hate her identity or feel that she was a threat. On the contrary, he was worried that if she really had such an identity, she might bring about his death.
It's best that he can't find out about the past, and that no one else can either.
But if it were discovered, and given her talent, others would inevitably speculate wildly, and Xiao Shu'er would certainly make a big fuss about it.
The carriage fell silent for a moment. Chang Lili looked at Meng Yuxiu, who was frowning, and couldn't help but speak up: "Well... I said I wouldn't let Xiao Shuer go, and I'll keep my word and find the right opportunity to take revenge."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yuxiu snapped out of his reverie, glanced at her indifferently, and ignored her.
Chang Lili felt a headache coming on. She rubbed her forehead and continued in a low voice, "I know, I know. I shouldn't have been so reckless. I won't do it again next time. Besides, I already had someone notify you immediately."
Meng Yuxiu glanced at her again before saying, "You notified us in time. If Chu Moyu hadn't appeared, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Chang Lili smiled sheepishly; she was indeed a little scared. She quickly said guiltily, "I really have to thank him this time."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Meng Yuxiu's unfriendly gaze shooting over her, and she wisely shut her mouth.
Lost in thought, Chu Moyu suddenly sneezed. Just after sneezing, he felt his shoulder bump into someone. Looking up, he saw a young woman.
A flash of disgust crossed his eyes, then he said coldly, "Sorry."
He was about to leave when the girl blocked his way.
The girl was of average appearance, but dressed rather elegantly, and had a maid following behind her, so she must come from a wealthy family.
Chu Moyu frowned slightly, his gaze was cold, and the chill in his voice intensified: "Get out of the way."
"Young master, please don't be angry. I bumped into you just now. I apologize to you, okay?" the girl said shyly.
Chu Moyu ignored her and tried to leave, but the girl blocked his way from the left and right.
With such an exceptionally handsome man, he naturally attracted attention as he walked down the street. Countless young women frequently cast their gazes at him, and even older women couldn't help but take a second look.
This daring rich girl wasn't content with just watching; she directly ran into him.
The girl, captivated by beauty, was unaware that Chu Moyu had already harbored murderous intent. He disliked the people of Yun Kingdom, and even more so, he despised women who lacked self-restraint.
He suppressed his urge to kill, but a playful smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the girl in front of him with a mocking gaze.
This naive girl assumed Chu Moyu was looking at her, and blushed so much she couldn't lift her head, but she couldn't stop smiling.
“Miss wants to apologize, but there seem to be too many people here. Why don’t we find a quiet place?” Chu Moyu leaned closer, his tone ambiguous.
The girl could almost feel his warm breath, and her whole body went numb. Without hesitation, she said, "Then I will do as you say, young master."
The two then arrived at a nearby alley. There were few people in the alley. The girl glared at the maid behind her, and the maid wisely did not follow.
After the maid left, Chu Moyu braced himself against the wall with one hand, pinning the girl against it. The girl's cheeks flushed, but her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Chu Moyu, who was so close to her, her eyes full of anticipation.
Chu Moyu found it strange. Shouldn't she be frightened or disgusted and resistant to his flirtatious behavior? This was quite different from what he remembered.
I also remember a girl like that. She was a princess, beautiful and charming. She would always be around him and do many things to please him.
But he didn't like her, and even loathed this girl whose blood flowed with the royal blood of the Yun Kingdom.
He acted impulsively and did that. He still clearly remembers her appearance: panicked, pale-faced, he pushed her away and ran away as if his life depended on it.
Even now, I still avoid him, and I still feel lingering fear when I see him.
"Do you like me?" He used the same trick as before.
The girl nodded without hesitation, her gaze fixed intently on Chu Moyu.
The latter breathed on her neck, his voice slightly low: "Then let's prove it with actions."
After saying that, he moved closer to the girl, prepared to be slapped or for the girl to dodge away.
But the girl closed her eyes and even pouted, looking impatient.
Chu Moyu stopped, the ambiguity on his face vanished, replaced by undisguised disgust.
The girl kept her eyes closed, unaware that the man in front of her had already reached for the dagger hidden at his waist. In just a moment, her fair and delicate neck could be slashed open, and blood would gush out.
A murderous aura was palpable, and the dagger was already drawn. However, a sharp pain shot through his arm. Startled, Chu Moyu turned around abruptly and saw a masked face peeking out from the roof behind him.
The young woman gave him a sharp look, then her head disappeared.
Chu Moyu's expression changed. He, who had been full of murderous intent just moments before, instantly calmed down, sheathed the dagger, and put it back at his waist.
After pouting for a long time without getting a response, the girl couldn't help but open her eyes.
But there was no longer any handsome young man in sight. In the alley, she was all alone, with only the cold wind.
The next day, Chang Lili returned to the military workshop, having already forgotten the unpleasantness and danger of the previous day. She picked up the nine-section whip that was almost finished and devoted herself to the finishing touches.
Finally, in the afternoon, the nine-section whip was completed.
With her mind preoccupied with learning mechanical arts and filled with excitement, Chang Lili lost all interest in staying at the Military Manufacturing Department. She took the nine-section whip and returned to the General's Mansion to find Meng Yuxiu.
