Chapter 35: Your Majesty, He’s your son-in-law!

When Changle returned to Su Lis embrace, the young twenty-two-year-old girl failed to notice that there seemed to be another place in her heart reserved for her few remaining relatives. Nonetheless, at this moment, Su Li had completely occupied her heart.

Whether the duration of one month felt long or short, each day, she woke up and went to sleep with the constant presence of her husband, who she had never met before. It felt as though he was always by her side. Although she couldnt see him, she could vividly sense his body temperature, his warm and calloused hands, and even his breathing.

I wish I could wake up for real Princess Changle thought.

However, her shyness seemed to have significantly diminished, so she no longer felt embarrassed about having Su Li help her bathe.

But as Su Li embraced Princess Changle, he furrowed his brow. This is a significant problem, he thought.

He was a peasant, a genuine peasant! While he could earn rewards due to Changles presence, which allowed him to obtain various resources for self-improvement, he still had to confront an unavoidable issuehis growth couldnt continue indefinitely.

This was the real world, not a novel where supporting characters intelligence could be forcibly lowered. As he acquired more and more things, Li Er, being the emperor, would undoubtedly notice his abnormality keenly.

And what about himself? How could he explain it?

The sudden inexplicable recovery of Empress Changles illness was difficult to rationalize. Even Su Li, who possessed medical knowledge, couldnt come up with a plausible explanation. In the end, Li Er decided to cease probing further for unknown reasons.

But what if he revealed something that even Li Er couldnt overlook?

For instance, if he demonstrated his expertise in salt and steel production

It doesnt matter. Ill come up with an excuse, Su Li pondered for a long time, yet he couldnt find a satisfactory solution.

The main issue was that his history, since crossing over, left traces. He had been nothing more than an elderly peasant struggling for food in the fields. Suddenly becoming uncontrollable after marrying Changle was difficult to explain reasonably. There was no reasonable way to explain such doubts.

Regarding the identity of the time traveler mentioned in the novel who supposedly self-destructed, claiming to be a time traveler in ancient times would be even less credible than claiming to possess profound wisdom.

Su Li sighed, thinking, Well, Ill just make up something random then. He didnt mind making the most conservative guess about Li Er, even though history portrayed him as a down-to-earth monarch.

Although Li Er often displayed a more emotional side, he wasnt the type to indiscriminately kill heroes after ascending the throne. However, considering his history of killing siblings, Su Li knew he had to be cautious and not be foolishly swayed by promises of prosperity and wealth.

After all, Li Er was an emperor!

Even if Li Er appeared friendly, his role as an emperor meant that he could turn ruthless and resort to any means to pursue his interests if given enough incentive.

Come to think of it with the attribute bonuses Ive been receiving for a month, Im already approaching a total of ninety. If I continue like this for another month, I might surpass human limits and be on par with Xiang Yu. And if I wait for another two or three months Su Li stroked his chin thoughtfully.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

Ah, praise this feudal society, Su Li suddenly smiled, realizing he was overthinking.

Li Er shook his head and responded, Thats precisely what I wanted to discuss. If he were born into a noble family, it wouldnt be too surprising for him to establish his own school at such a young age. It wouldnt be uncommon for him to delve into various fields of medicine.

But hes a peasant!

After consulting Yuan Tiangangs divination, I conducted an investigation and discovered that the Su family relocated to Longyou in the sixth year of the Wu De era. Su Li has received no formal education or training.

And Su Li is only twenty-three years old!

A twenty-three-year-old guy was a master of calligraphy. One could say he was a calligraphy prodigy.

A twenty-three-year-old guy was a master of medicine as he could cure respiratory diseases. So, one could say he was a medical prodigy.

But a twenty-three-year-old guy who had never read a book had accomplished both of these achievements simultaneously.

Your Majesty, are you suggesting that Su Li has an extraordinary talent? Zhangsun Wu Fei said with a smile.

Im saying hes peculiar! Li Er gave Zhangsun Wu Fei a skeptical look.

Lets not joke about Su Li, the Guanyin maid. If he were truly a genius, his reputation would have already soared in the past few years. Not to mention calligraphy, which well set aside for now. Upon my return, I inquired with the imperial physician, and its known that expertise in medicine cant be solely attained through extensive book learning. Furthermore, the people I sent to investigate all mentioned that Su Li comes from a respected family and is usually occupied with agricultural work, leaving no time for such studies.

Li Ers expression turned serious as he continued, Moreover, there was Yuan Tiangangs divination beforehand. I was desperately ill at that time and sought treatment hastily, without paying much attention to it

It seems that he suddenly gained knowledge without a teacher after marrying Changle

That doesnt sit right with me. Li Er frowned.

As a king, he despised things that were beyond his understanding and couldnt be explained.

Your Majesty, you have misjudged him Zhangsun Wu Fei reassured Li Er, patting his hand.

Your Majesty, he is your son-in-law, Changles husband.

Upon hearing this, Li Er was momentarily taken aback. Finally, he shook his head.

I still intend to investigate this young mans background

Li Er spoke quietly.

I dont know the specifics. Its truly difficult for me to entrust Changle to him
