Su Li’s remarks caused both Changle and Li Xueyan to become anxious. Both of them believed that Su Li was about to agree to participate in the poetry event organized by Zhangsun Chong.

Who could have predicted that Changle would suddenly fall seriously ill? Under such circumstances, if Zhangsun Wuji still insisted on having Zhangsun Chong marry Changle, it would be foolish.

Li Xueyan was utterly surprised. She believed these poems were the unpublished works of lesser-known talents that Changle had collected recently. Never could she have imagined that the consort actually wrote them? Turning to look at Su Li, Li Xueyan’s expression became quite complex.
