After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 47: Su Li… I’m sorry!

Su Li never imagined that such a bloody confession could happen to him. Fortunately, it was not Li Er claiming to be their relative. If he and Changle, the newlywed couple, were siblings, it would have been a typical plot with an improbable familial connection, like something out of a novel.

Officially, Su Li as the husband of the princess, held a higher position than Su Dingfang, who was only a Left Marquis General, a fourth-ranked official. Despite being a political marriage, Su Lis nominal status was still higher than Su Dingfang.

Furthermore, Su Dingfang had been abandoned by Li Er now, and the entire Zhenguan Dynasty remained silent. This situation was not as dramatic as Su Li had expected.

From Su Dingfang, Su Li learned the details of the incident. Li Er was investigating him.

Su Li pondered, It seemed that Li Er had already noticed something unusual about him and was determined to get to the bottom of it, eventually discovering their familial relationship.

But today was different. If Su Li had just married Princess Changle, he might have been concerned about being exposed and facing suspicion from Li Er (Emperor Taizong).

However, Su Lis attributes had now exceeded human limits, and he possessed the Overlords Halberd Technique. Although his sharpness was slightly lacking, he was still a formidable force.

In another month or two, Su Lis attributes would improve significantly. By then, it would be futile for Li Er to harbor suspicions. Su Li could ascend to become the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty directly.

Su Li didnt doubt Su Dingfangs words. After all, Su Dingfangs demeanor didnt appear fake, and Li Er personally conducted the investigation.

Brother its its all my fault, Su Dingfang said, looking at Princess Changle on Su Lis shoulder with a sigh of emotion.

Su Li understood what Su Dingfang meant. Previously, most imperial doctors and eminent monks were unable to cure Princess Changles condition, and it seemed like an impossible feat. However, after Su Li used systemic medicine to treat her gradually, Princess Changles health improved. This incident remained undisclosed.

To most ordinary people, marrying a dying princess was far from ideal. It meant being unable to continue the family line and potentially even being buried with her.

But thats not entirely true At least I no longer have to worry about food and clothing, Su Li said, shaking his head and smiling.

His poison had become his remedy.

Although others believed that Princess Changle had a limited time left, Su Li knew that it was only a matter of time before she woke up, so he had no reservations. Where else could he find such a fortunate situation? He had gone from being a peasant digging for food in the soil to become a high-ranking son-in-law, gaining a beautiful wife without any effort.

Su Li understood Su Dingfangs perspective. After all, Su Dingfang had mentioned that the Su family was small, and with Su Lis presence, there were now only three men in the family. Su Dingfang had raised Su Li since he was a child and held preconceived notions that Princess Changles life was short, so his words were understandable. No one wanted their brother to marry someone with a limited lifespan and unable to continue the family line.

If only I have discovered your identity earlier, even if I have to plead with my teacher or rely on Yuan Tiangangs divination, things will not have turned out like this I have heard before that Princess Changles life is limited, but I never expected that her husband will be you! Su Dingfang exclaimed in frustration, pounding his thigh.

It is just that I am a little too late, Su Dingfang sighed, burdened with self-blame.

Su Dingfang blamed himself deeply. If only they had discovered news about his younger brother earlier. Although Su Dingfang was not highly regarded, his mentor was Duke Dai Li Jing, and while they did not have an official master-disciple relationship, their bond was similar to that. Despite Li Jings political setbacks and lack of trust from Li Er, he achieved numerous military successes, which even Li Er had to suppress.

If only Su Dingfang had found his younger brother earlier, even if Yuan Tian Gang had predicted that his brother would be the groom in the bridal escort, Su Dingfang could have sought the help of his mentor Li Jing to mediate. Li Er would have had to consider Li Jings influence in that case. Even if they couldnt completely avoid the situation, it would have been much better than the current circumstances.

As Su Dingfang spoke, he was filled with self-blame, and Su Li was deeply moved by his sincere words, even though he had no recollection of Su Dingfangs appearance. Su Li could feel the profound brotherly love that Su Dingfang held for his younger brother from their brief encounter and a few words.

However, for Princess Changle, witnessing such tenderness and serious words had a different impact. As her health improved and Su Li took care of her meticulously, providing balanced nutrition and the systems medicines, Princess Changles consciousness was now the same as that of an ordinary person.

Awake during the day and sleep at night. Sleeping peacefully in Su Lis arms at night, quietly listening to Su Li recount the surrounding scenery and all the changes during the day, feeling the serene warmth between husband and wife. Even Princess Changle had become accustomed to this kind of life.

Though she couldnt move or even see Su Li, she undeniably regarded him as the most important person in her life. Since Su Lis arrival, she had never complained about anyone else. Even in her paralyzed state, she was content. She didnt even long for the time when she was healthy, as long as she had Su Li by her side.

Today, as usual, she woke up in Su Lis embrace and relished his attentive care. The girls worries were minimal, aside from occasional concerns that Su Li might get bored or that she wouldnt wake up again. Princess Changle was completely immersed in the sea of love.

Today was just like any other day. After waking up and being fed, Su Li carried her to the yard to bask in the sun and described the surrounding scenery. Then she overheard the female officer discussing Su Dingfangs visit.

Princess Changle didnt know Su Dingfang personally. Being a princess, she considered Su Dingfang, a mere fourth-grade officer, unworthy of her attention. However, curiosity was inherent in her nature as a young girl, and she couldnt help but be intrigued by the situation.

She remained by Su Lis side, openly eavesdropping on his conversations. That was when she heard about the emotional confession scene. Later, when Changle interacted with Su Li, she introduced herself more fully to him.

Changle learned that Su Li was a peasant, his parents had passed away early, and he had a difficult life in his teenage years with no one to rely on. Changle always felt sorry that Su Li had no relatives by his side, and she believed he had no one to share his distress with.

Now, hearing that Su Li actually had an older brother and that Su Li himself was accidentally lost, Princess Changle felt genuine happiness for him. From the depths of her heart, she sympathized with Su Lis past and was truly glad that he had found his family.

In this way, her husband was no longer alone. Finally, my husband had a family he could rely on. Princess Changle always felt sorry for him, thinking about her own privileged upbringing with loving parents and siblings, while Su Li had nothing. But now, it turned out that Su Li also had a happy family and an elder brother who loved him dearly. Princess Changle was initially happy for him until Su Dingfang spoke up.

Su Dingfangs serious words reached Princess Changles ears. She couldnt describe the feeling that overwhelmed her. Su Dingfang didnt directly target Princess Changle, but his words emphasized every aspect. Princess Changle, a woman with a short life expectancy. Even if she could live, she couldnt continue the family line for Su Li or ensure the prosperity of their lineage.

She realized that she had caused trouble for Su Li and delayed his happiness. Even Su Li, who had initially been lonely and helpless, had found his relatives. But because of her, a disabled person who couldnt wake up, he could only be trapped in the princesss mansion, guarding her like a lifeless tree.

All this time, she had been too selfish in craving the tenderness, care, and security that Su Li provided. Subconsciously, she had started avoiding these issues. Now, everything was shattered by Su Dingfangs sincere and honest words.

That was right. No matter how helpless Su Li was, he came from a respectable family and could continue the family line. Even after the brothers had reunited, Su Li could have had a good life. And all of this was ruined by her.

Princess Changle had to face this harsh reality.

Su Li Im sorry Su Li, Im so sorry, Princess Changle thought.

When everything was mercilessly revealed, only the harsh truth remained, and the young Princess Changle had nowhere to escape.
