Chapter 408 - 261: Multiple Personality Disorder
Personality splitting is rare in itself, but Princess Wenxi having multiple personality disorder is an even more complex matter. That’s because each personality is independent and complete, with its own thoughts and ability to act. The relationships between each personality might be connected or not, and it’s difficult to discern things clearly all at once. Trying to determine whether such a person has the capability and means to commit murder is indeed a daunting task, and also difficult to prove in the Great Tang.
Ran Yan speculated that Princess Wenxi might have split off the personality, "Li Wanping," likely because in a life of constant surveillance and crises, she imagined her sister had never disappeared and was still by her side to protect her as a powerful force. Because of their combined flaws in strength, she then conjured another non-intellectual, physically strong personality to serve as a loyal servant to both sisters...
However, if such a servant can exist once, there could be a second—perhaps Princess Wenxi might have an "Assassin" personality?
From the analysis of Princess Wenxi’s past life, she wouldn’t have had time to practice Martial Arts, so the so-called Martial Arts skills might stem from her extensive reading and high comprehension. Then could she also understand medicine? Does she have a "Doctor" personality?
If that were true... it would indeed be a thorny issue!
Given Princess Wenxi’s current condition, among her split personalities, there is "Li Wanping" with both intelligence and courage, and another physically strong personality. It’s entirely reasonable to guess she could commit murder. However, this was only a possibility, with absolutely no evidence, no witnesses, and no motive.
After a restless night, early next morning, Ran Yan finished her morning meal and hurried to the compartment.
Upon opening the door and seeing the person who was startled even by the noise of the door, Ran Yan knew the thing she had feared had finally happened.
"Li Wanping" was a smart and daring personality. Once she confirmed there was no threat, she would disregard anything else. Yesterday’s standoff, though it seemed like Ran Yan had the upper hand, at best it was a draw. Ran Yan found out what she wanted, and "Li Wanping" did likewise.
