The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 160: My Master Must Be Getting Old and Confused

"I couldn't sleep at night, so I went out for a walk. Where's the prince?"

"So does the king."

Li Mulan nodded, not wanting to have too much contact with the Regent, "Then I will go back first."

"You can't sleep?"

Li Mulan pretended to be sleepy and yawned, "I can fall asleep now, and it's quite late."

Chu Chenfeng could naturally see that she was pretending. For some reason, he just wanted to talk to her more. He smiled and said, "The two-day deadline is tomorrow. Miss Li, have you asked clearly?"

Speaking of this, Li Mulan's eyes rolled. After all, Long Yi was also her subordinate. Even though it was a bit troublesome, he was still one of her own. It was okay to beat him up or scold him behind closed doors. She still had to help deal with the matter.

Li Mulan smiled, trying to make herself look gentler. "I have asked clearly. I wanted to come to your house in person tomorrow. It's a coincidence now."

Chu Chenfeng raised his eyes and said, "I know a place that is quite close and a good place to enjoy the moon. Miss Li, are you willing to come and see me?"

Li Mulan paused. What was wrong with this regent? Was he inviting her to watch the moon together?

I never thought that he, who looked so serious, would actually invite a girl to watch the moon in the middle of the night. It was rumored that the Regent King was not interested in women, but it seemed unbelievable. But for Long Yi's sake, I had no choice but to agree.

"Since Your Majesty is so interested, I will accompany you."

In just a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a high tower, which should be the tallest tower in Kyoto. However, no one would come here at night, so it seemed a bit lonely.

There was a gentle breeze on the top of the tower, which was quite comfortable. Looking at the big and round moon, it was indeed a good place to enjoy the moon, except for the lack of wine. Of course, the person next to her was not suitable for drinking with her.

Li Mulan shrugged and really admired the moon. Looking at Li Mulan's profile, Chu Chenfeng was in a good mood. It seemed that every time he met this girl, he was in a good mood.

"Your Highness is so romantic that he could find such a great place." He looks like a very cold person, but I didn't expect him to be like this in private... I guess he must have brought girls here many times before.

Chu Chenfeng would never have thought that the first time he asked a girl out to watch the moon, she would misunderstand him like this. If he had known, he probably would never have made an appointment so easily.

"I grew up in Kyoto, so I'm very familiar with this place. I used to come here often when I was a kid."

"When you were a kid?"

Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Yes, I seldom come here after I became an adult, and there is not much opportunity."

Li Mulan thought about it and it made sense. For someone who went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, he probably had few opportunities to come here.

"I have learned everything about the assassination that night, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will be disappointed. The other party only knows that the person behind it is from Jiangnan, but they don't know his specific identity."

Chu Chenfeng didn't seem surprised at all, and his expression didn't change at all.

Li Mulan raised her eyebrows, "Your Majesty knows?"

"Some speculation."

Li Mulan cursed this man in her heart for being cunning. He knew everything, but still used this matter to force her. She had no idea what his intention was.

"Then Your Majesty...can you spare that man's life?"

Chu Chenfeng looked at Li Mulan with a deep gaze, "May I ask one more question, what is the relationship between that person and Miss Li?"

Li Mulan was stunned, but she told the truth, "I don't know him. I have never seen him before."

"Oh?"

"But I have a subordinate, the one who saved people that day."

Chu Chenfeng understood, "Miss Li, are you talking about Long Yi, the number one killer in the Killer Alliance a few years ago?"

"Wow! Your Majesty knows a lot."

"Oh, not bad. But Miss Li really surprised me. She was able to gain the recognition of this number one killer. It's really..."

Chu Chenfeng stopped talking at that point. Li Mulan secretly rolled her eyes and said, "It was just a coincidence. I saved Long Yi and then used him as a favor to repay him. It's that simple."

A hint of smile flashed across Chu Chenfeng's dark eyes. "She can be so frank in repaying a favor. Miss Li is really a wonderful person."

"Haha, we are used to being straightforward, Your Majesty, please don't be surprised."

"No, this is good."

Li Mulan's eyes were clear and twinkling. She didn't know what the man meant by "very good". She was too lazy to think about it. "The killer is Long Yi's younger brother, named Jian Qi. Because of this, Long Yi came to me and asked me to save Jian Qi's life."

"Now that you know what I want to know, I don't care about your life."

Li Mulan smiled, "I knew that Your Highness is a generous person. But Your Highness, I have another request, and I wonder if Your Highness is willing to help. Don't worry, it's a piece of cake."

In fact, Li Mulan was also unsure at the moment. She asked for help and didn't know what others would think. But she couldn't care less now.

Chu Chenfeng raised his eyebrows, "Miss, you can speak frankly."

Li Mulan rubbed her fingers unconsciously. "Jian Qi failed in this mission. The master will definitely not forgive him. But since the others are dead, can the prince spread the news that the people who attempted to assassinate him last time have been dealt with by the palace, and no one is alive?"

Chu Chenfeng did not answer her directly, "I still want to meet this person in person, I wonder if Miss Li is willing?"

It seems that he doesn't agree. It depends on Jian Qi's attitude.

"Of course you can, but this man's body has not recovered yet, and he may not be able to withstand..." The torture in the palace.

Chu Chenfeng chuckled, "Miss Li, you misunderstood. I just want to meet someone and talk to him."

"Oh, of course, your Majesty can come anytime."

"No hurry, I'll visit you in two days."

"Okay." Li Mulan glanced at the full moon again and prepared to leave. "It's getting late. I won't stay any longer."

Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Then this king..."

"Your Highness, please stay. There's no need to see you off. Haha, the moonlight is so intoxicating. Your Highness, there's no need to disturb your enjoyment because of Mulan." If you like to watch, then watch as much as you can. I'm going back to rest.

Chu Chenfeng did not try to persuade him to stay. He just bowed and left.

When Li Mulan was about to go downstairs, Chu Chenfeng suddenly asked, "I heard that your master has arranged a marriage for you?"

Li Mulan paused, a trace of vigilance flashed across her eyes, and she turned around with a smile, "Your Highness knows a lot. So, have you investigated every member of the Li family?"

Chu Chenfeng could sense her defensiveness, and his tone softened unconsciously, "I didn't investigate this specifically, so it was an accident that I knew about this."

Li Mulan didn't expect him to explain, and she also realized that her attitude was a bit too much. "Indeed, my master must be getting old and confused."

Chu Chenfeng frowned, "Miss Li doesn't agree with this marriage?"

"There's no point in agreeing or disagreeing. I haven't even met the person, so I don't know whether he's good or bad."

"Then will the girl agree once she sees him?"

Li Mulan was full of confusion, wondering why this person was so strange. "Well... I'll know after I meet him."
