Thinking of this, Qu Li went directly to the Grand Princess's Mansion.
When the Grand Princess saw Qu Li suddenly appear, she was stunned.
"Who are you?"
Qu Li then remembered that she was still disguised as an ordinary person. She quickly said in her natural voice, "Grand Princess, it's me."
"Qu Li?" The Grand Princess looked her up and down. "How did you end up like this?"
"There is something I would like the Grand Princess to explain."
The Grand Princess thought about the recent rumors about Xiao Xian in the capital, and preconceived that Qu Li came here for Xiao Xian.
The reason why it was done like this was probably because they were afraid that someone would spread gossip about them.
"Ah Xian is the emperor's own flesh and blood, and I don't know how these rumors spread. Do you have any way to resolve this matter?"
"If Prince Chen is the emperor's biological son, then why aren't Changle and Prince Chen cousins?"
The eldest princess's expression suddenly changed several times, and her hands on the table were clenched into fists out of shock.
Qu Li had previously guessed that there was some hidden secret about Changle's life experience, and this time he confirmed this guess.
"Grand Princess, Changle is not your biological child, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The eldest princess, who had always been kind to Qu Li, spoke harshly and her eyes when she looked at Qu Li were as sharp as a sword.
Qu Li's face showed no trace of fear. She said calmly, "Because Changle is not your biological daughter, you have always refused to ask for the title of Princess for her."
In fact, everyone can see how much the Grand Princess cares about Changle.
The reason why she provoked the Grand Princess in this way was simply to find out Changle's life experience.
"Qu Li, I have always admired you. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will..."
“Snap—”
There was a sound of a food box falling to the ground outside the door. The hearts of the eldest princess and Qu Li jumped violently at the same time, and they arrived at the door almost at the same time.
Seeing Changle standing outside the door with a face as pale as paper, the air instantly froze into ice.
"Mom, what you just said...what you said was not true, right?" Changle's voice was choked with sobs, and Nonli's big eyes were filled with tears.
"Changle, listen to me."
Changle shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, about to fall, which made her even more distressed. "I don't want to hear anything. Just answer yes or no."
The eldest princess had a serious face and said without hesitation: "You are my biological daughter, there is no doubt about this."
Changle felt her eyes were particularly sore. She wiped them roughly and shifted her gaze to Qu Li's face.
"Li'er, you need to do the test for me and mother now."
Qu Li also felt bad.
She wanted to find out about Changle's life experience, but she never thought of hurting her.
Now seeing her so sad, she felt as if her heart was blocked by a sponge soaked in water, making her feel stuffy.
"Changle, the Grand Princess treats you very well."
She was even better to Changle than her biological mothers.
If we must find something wrong, it is that the Grand Princess had previously said that she would never ask for a title for Changle.
"I know my mother treats me very well!" Changle sniffed.
She really didn't want to cry, but she couldn't control her tears.
"It would be fine if I didn't hear it, but if I did, I have the right to find out everything, right?"
"What good will it do even if you figure it out?" Qu Li asked.
Changle was in a trance. Her eyes, which once sparkled brightly, were now dull and dusty, making people feel pity for her.
"Yeah, what's the use of figuring it out?"
Judging from the Grand Princess’s current reaction, what difference does it make whether she gets tested or not?
She is not the eldest princess's biological daughter!
Qu Li wanted to persuade her a few more times, but Changle turned around and ran out.
"Changle!"
“Changle!!”
Qu Li and the Grand Princess chased after him at the same time.
The eldest princess's eyes went dark and her body swayed twice.
Qu Li reached out to support her, his tone firm: "Grand Princess, I will definitely persuade Changle to come back! If anything happens to her, I will die as an apology!"
After saying that, she helped the eldest princess sit down in the corridor, and she used her lightness skills to catch up with her.
Changle's heart was in a mess.
A voice echoed in my mind over and over again -
She is not the eldest princess' biological daughter, she is the bastard that people are gossiping about!
She covered her ears, not wanting to hear any of that noise.
Qu Li finally caught up with her, "Changle, listen to me."
Changle hugged her and cried heart-wrenchingly.
"Cry! When you stop crying, we can have a good talk." Qu Li patted her back gently.
Let it out, then have a good sleep, and everything will be over.
Only when Changle was so tired from crying that she started to hiccup did she stop crying.
Looking at the large area of Qu Li's shoulder wet with tears, she felt very sorry.
"Have you cried enough?" Qu Li asked.
Changle nodded.
"You know better than anyone how the Grand Princess has treated you over the years."
Changle remained silent.
"You running out in such an emotional state has made the Grand Princess very sad, do you know?"
"Li'er, who am I?"
"Only the Grand Princess can answer this question for you! As for the real reason why she didn't ask for a title for you, you can only ask her."
"Li'er..."
Changle's voice was filled with tears again.
"If you still can't bring yourself to face the Grand Princess, you'll have to stay at Wenzhao Courtyard tonight."
"Is it okay?" she asked pitifully.
"Of course! No matter what your background is, you are the girl Wen Zhao likes and my good friend. This will never change."
Colorful fireworks exploded in Changle's heart and he hugged her again.
Qu Li patted her back and said, "Okay, stop crying. If you keep crying, your eyes will be swollen and look ugly."
The two returned to Wenzhaoyuan. Although many people were curious about why Changle's eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, and why she came back, no one talked nonsense.
Qu Li sent Qiao Zi to the Grand Princess's Mansion to report the news, and then took Changle to her room.
"We'll sleep together tonight."
"Really?" Changle obviously didn't believe it.
"You can't choose where you're born! But it's up to you to decide who you want to be! Do you understand what I mean?"
Changle pursed her lips and nodded.
After a good sleep and with Qu Li's comfort, Changle's mood became much more stable.
"Can you face the Grand Princess calmly now?"
"able."
"Then after breakfast, we'll go back."
She thought that considering the Grand Princess's care for Changle, she must have not slept all night last night.
Changle shook his head: "Li'er, I thought about it carefully last night. If I ran away like this, it would definitely make mother very sad and worried. I'd better go back first!"
