Upon hearing this, no one else dared to speak. They suddenly realized that Chang Lili was quite ruthless, and they all secretly thought it was a good thing they hadn't offended her before.
Chen Lu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then said with a tearful face, "Miss Chang, please save me! I'll tell you, I'll tell you who ordered me to do this. As long as you spare my life, I was forced into this situation!"
Chang Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes and said impatiently, "Speak quickly if you're going to. If you keep dawdling like this, even if you're willing to talk, I'm not willing to listen."
"It's the Eldest Princess! The Eldest Princess forced me to do this, I dare not disobey her!" Chen Lu said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, the usually bustling military manufacturing department fell into such silence that you could hear a pin drop.
The people who had gathered to watch the spectacle just moments before scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.
Royal secrets are not something they can discuss casually, and they tactfully keep their distance from matters concerning Xiao Shu'er.
Although Xiao Shu'er was someone many people wanted to marry, it was only because she had the noble status of a princess; her actions and behavior, however, were known for their ruthlessness and viciousness.
It was common for servants to be killed; such things, if done too often, could not be hidden.
When everyone heard that it was related to Xiao Shuer, they were afraid of getting into trouble and quickly pretended that nothing had happened.

"It really is Xiao Shu'er," she thought to herself.
Recalling her mother-in-law's haggard appearance after her previous injury, her face contorted with a hint of ferocity.
"Miss Chang, Miss Chang! I've confessed everything, I've told you everything, please give me the antidote!" Chen Lu grabbed Chang Lili's wrist and said impatiently.
He knew his life was over; Xiao Shu'er would never let him go, and after what had happened, he couldn't stay in the military manufacturing department any longer.
But he didn't want to die, so after getting the antidote, he fled to the ends of the earth.
Chang Lili sneered, "What benefits did she give you?"
“She…she gave me a lot of gold, and I was blinded by greed when I agreed to it. I know I was wrong, and I will never do such a thing again!” Chen Lu said sincerely.
"You want the antidote?" Chang Lili looked down at Chen Lu's dark face.
Chen Lu's face lit up with joy: "Miss Chang, you promised me that as long as I tell you who ordered me, you will give me the antidote."
Chang Lili couldn't help but sneer, "Do you really think the weapons I made are poisonous? Jadeite is such a rare thing, and no one has ever even heard of it. Do you think I would have it?"
