Chapter 36: The Arrival of the Mastermind!

Once people formed a preconceived impression, it became difficult to change it. For example, Su Lis caring attitude towards Changle deeply touched the heart of the Empress and even the female officer. They believed Su Li would never leave and take good care of her. However, in Li Ers eyes, it was all an act

Li Er was uncertain and suspicious, especially due to Su Lis peculiar behavior. This only fueled his doubts, fearing that Su Li might be a deceptive individual with hidden motives. Despite Empress Zhangsuns valid points and Changle still being unconscious, Li Er couldnt fully dismiss these thoughts. He had to temporarily suppress them.

Nonetheless, Li Er didnt relax. On the contrary, given the numerous anomalies, he intensified his investigation into Su Li. Initially, they had someone continue looking into Su Lis background and life experiences. However, since Su Lis family had moved to Longyou several years ago, during the sixth year of the Wu De era, it was challenging to gather detailed information before the war broke out. Now that Su Lis behavior had become suspicious, Li Er naturally intensified the investigation.

Furthermore, Li Er repeatedly summoned Yuan Tiangang to inquire about his plans regarding Su Li. Unfortunately, Yuan Tiangangs responses were evasive and lacked substantial information, deepening Li Ers suspicions.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

Days passed, one after another, and while Li Er remained doubtful, Su Lis life grew increasingly comfortable. His confidence soared, especially as he observed his points rising and his attributes improving.

Each passing day mirrored the previous one. Compared to Li Er, who harbored doubts, Su Lis life was much more contented.

Su Li, who had been preparing to present a serious demeanor, couldnt help but feel a surge of emotions. He believed that if he continued to grow at this rate, even if Li Er didnt believe him, he wouldnt be able to harm himself. People continued to visit Changle during this time, especially as her complexion improved. Some of her siblings, like Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Prince Li Ke, and Li Tai, as well as the future Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, came to visit.

Today, a new guest arrived once againPrincess Gao Yang, a young girl of around ten years old. The female officer tried to stop her, saying, The son-in-law is attending Princess Changles bath. Please wait a moment.

In this moment of panic and fear, Changle longed to grab Su Lis hand and reveal the truth. She wanted Su Li to protect her, as their relationship had shifted from affection to terror and estrangement.

The dark psychology of a ten-year-old girl filled Changle with unexplainable terror. Compounding her distress was the fact that Su Li was still assisting her in bathing, leaving her completely naked. Princess Changle, with her pure heart, couldnt understand how Gaoyang could casually visit her as if nothing had happened. Changle desperately didnt want to see Gaoyang, nor did she want Gaoyang to witness her current vulnerable state. She felt like a naked and helpless individual, easily manipulated by others. Fear gripped her, intensifying all the negative emotions flooding her mind.

Amidst her anxiety, Changle could hear Gaoyangs voice drawing nearer, along with the sound of her footsteps and laughter. Gaoyang sweetly called her sister, radiating the same innocence as before. The scene was overwhelming. Just then, a warm voice broke the tension.

Stop her Su Li didnt raise her head but directed her gaze at the maidservant in the room. She whispered, Didnt you see that I was bathing the princess? Su Li frowned.

Upon hearing these words, the two maids in the room hurriedly rushed out to intercept Gaoyang. Changle was in a delicate situation. Even though Gaoyang was also a girl, it was inappropriate for anyone to casually witness her naked body. Moreover, at this moment, when Changle had lost control over her bodily functions, even if she were conscious, being seen by another female would be an immense humiliation.

The palace maids and female attendants within the mansion were more acceptable, as they served as close attendants and servants to Changle. However, Gaoyang held a different status. As a princess, she shared the same rank as Changle, further increasing Changles embarrassment and degradation

Gaoyang! Su Li murmured softly, finally understanding why Gaoyang displayed such arrogance and dominance, forcefully intruding into the inner courtyard. Su Lis frown deepened as he hastened his efforts to clean Changle.

Changle could only feel the warmth in Su Lis hands, which provided her with an appearance of courage among her turmoil.
