Qu Tan'er said, "The truth is often hurtful. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
"Is there anything left in this world that can hurt me?" Qu Xiaoru looked up.
"You have courage," Qu Tan'er replied nonchalantly.
Only, Qin Ling said she was very foolish. This was something Qu Tan'er didn't quite agree with. Different stances lead to different perspectives, resulting in varied decisions and occasional mistakes. Perhaps Qu Xiaoru's true enemy was Qin Ling, and so her decision to marry the Emperor to protect her brother was the only choice.
But the mistake was that Qin Ling was the Emperor's man...
Knowing the truth, could she bear it?
Qu Xiaoru didn't ask Qu Tan'er to sit; she found a chair for herself and sat down calmly, leaning slightly against the side, tapping the armrest absently with some entanglement, saying, "Let's have a good talk."
"..." Qu Xiaoru looked at her with a complicated expression, pursing her lips in silence.
