Chapter 19: It’s time to share the same bed!
As Li Er witnessed more occurrences, he became more convinced that Su Li was somehow involved in Princess Changles recovery. After all, he had never been satisfied with Su Li as his son-in-law, believing that Su Li was not worthy of Changle.
If it were not for such a significant event happening to Su Li, he would have never given him a second thought. He did not believe in Su Lis so-called one-day couple hundred days of grace or that he was genuinely treating Princess Changle well. Perhaps it was merely for survival.
As long as Princess Changle was alive and well, even if she never woke up, Su Li would live a life he had never dared to dream of before. Might be it was just a show, acting like he was doing his best so that if Princess Changle died of illness, he would have a softer heart and let him go.
Your Majesty has said it before, Zhangsun Wu Fei shook his head. In any case, he is willing to put his mind to being good to Changle. In this situation, what else can we ask for?
The conversation fell silent, and both of them went into thought. What was the use of talking so much when Changle had yet to awaken? What was the use of pondering whether Su Li was worthy of Changle?
If he can truly revive Changle, as Yuan Tiangang said, then I will recognize him as my son-in-law, Li Er said.
Indeed, if recognizing Su Li as his son-in-law would undoubtedly wake Changle up, then even if Su Li were a beggar, Li Er would gladly welcome him into the family.
Meanwhile in the mansion of Zhangsun Wuji, Zhangsun Chong looked at Zhangsun Wuji in front of him, hesitant to speak. Zhangsun had a stern expression, dark like the bottom of a pot, with a deep and serious countenance. Today, he caught his son, Zhangsun Chong, in the dancing studio.
What kind of place is this? Zhangsun Wuji inquired.
Its a place for leisure and entertainment! Zhangsun Chong replied.
What is the current situation? How long has Princess Changle been in a coma? How long has she been married? Zhangsun Wuji questioned.
If His Majesty were to find out about this, how would he feel? Zhangsun Wuji continued, his frustration evident. He kicked Zhangsun Chong to the ground in anger.
You havent visited your cousin since she fell into a coma. How many times have you gone to see her? Zhangsun Wuji berated.
I I Zhangsun Chong tried to respond, but was interrupted.
Zhangsun Chongs emotions were complex. It wasnt that he didnt like Princess Changle. After all, she possessed a gentle and graceful personality, making her a rare match. However, ever since their engagement, Zhangsun Chong had to remain virtuous, refraining from indulging in the company of his friends. He could only rely on their descriptions of the places and activities he was forbidden to take part in.
After Princess Changle fell into a coma, Zhangsun Chong visited her a few times, hoping for her recovery. He even confronted his father angrily upon learning that Princess Changle had married someone else.
But when his father informed him that his fiance was plagued by a strange illness, likely to never wake up from her slumber, and that the marriage was merely a result of tradition, Zhangsun Chong felt a mix of sorrow and relief.
Fortunately, it wasnt him who was compelled to marry due to the tradition. Fortunately, Princess Changle, who lay comatose, was not his bride.
Thus, due to various reasons, Zhangsun Chong had not visited Princess Changle again. After all, Princess Changle no longer belonged to him, she was now married to a peasant.
He couldnt express his emotions, and deep down, he didnt even wish for Princess Changle to wake up. What would that make him? Now that the royal engagement was no longer binding, Zhangsun Chong entertained different thoughts. Unfortunately, his plans were cut short as he was caught by his father right after entering the singing and dancing studio.
Now that my cousin has married someone else, and she had a marriage contract with me before, how can I step into the princesss mansion? Zhangsun Chong retorted.
Even if theres no engagement, shes still your cousin! Zhangsun Wuji scolded. If you wish to marry someone else, you must choose another princess!
Zhangsun Wuji looked at his son, Zhangsun Chong, and let out a sigh. In a few days, I will propose to His Majesty again. You must not step foot in that inappropriate place again. Moreover, take some time to visit your cousin!
Upon seeing his fathers stern face, Zhangsun Chong dared not think otherwise and could only nod.
He thought that if Changle married someone else, he would have no restraints. But if he expected him to marry another princess, he had to keep himself pure.
After all, Princess Changle was the most outstanding among all the princesses. When he thought about it, his former partner mistakenly married a vulgar peasant, and even though she fell unconscious and passed away soon after, Zhangsun Chong still felt uneasy. After all, he had previously made a marriage contract with Princess Changle.
Meanwhile, Su Li sat honestly in the princesss mansion on the other side and held Princess Changles small hand. Although the rate of earning points was relatively slow, the rewards were still significant.
As he waited quietly, the points steadily rose and reached 10,000 at around nine oclock in the evening. Without hesitation, Su Li immediately purchased Introduction to the Art of War.
After glancing at Princess Changle, who was tightly closed-eyed, and the female officer standing by, Su Li expressionlessly clicked to use it.
It was still enlightening!
Su Li quickly absorbed a lot of practical military knowledge from the Introduction to the Art of War, which was just like a basic but comprehensive manual on military skills, much like an introduction to medical skills. With this newfound knowledge, Su Li had a solid foundation in training, setting up camp, forming troops, fighting, and other military tactics.
Despite being a military novice before, Su Li now possessed a certain foundation that could be applied to any unit, which was quite impressive. The depth and comprehensiveness of military knowledge that Su Li had gained from the manual would have taken two to three years to acquire through regular study.
However, Su Li knew there were already many famous generals in the current Tang Dynasty, and it would be challenging to stand out among them. Moreover, Su Li was still just a tool person, so the situation seemed hopeless.
Even with this, Su Li felt encouraged because the Introduction to the Art of War was an excellent foundation to build on. The product enriched his knowledge and saved him a lot of time, which would have been spent acquiring the same knowledge through regular study.
It appears that obtaining the Dragon Balls is not in my destiny, Su Li murmured, thinking about whether he should spend his remaining points on buying Dragon Balls. He had pondered this decision for quite some time, but Li Ers sudden intrusion had disrupted his plan. With insufficient points, Su Li had no choice but to move on.
After purchasing the manual, Su Li got up and helped Princess Changle to turn over her posture. He stretched and then sat on his small bench, letting out a sigh of emotion.
When will we be able to share the same bed, he pondered wistfully.
