She suddenly laughed and said, "Sister, don't be nervous."
"..."
"Mother Empress—mother, on the night she saved me, she also forced me with death."
"...What?!"
Shang Ruyi suddenly widened her eyes, but fortunately, since she stepped into the Xuanwu Gate, she had been subconsciously tense, so even though she was greatly shocked at this moment, she didn't lose her voice. Yet her hoarse voice was filled with alarm: "Empress Dowager, she—"
In Chu Ruoyan's autumn-like eyes, a sad ripple arose, and she said sorrowfully:
"She said that if I wanted to survive, to live well, and to stay by second brother's side, I must, I must resign myself to fate, get along well with you, and have no other thoughts."
"..."
"Otherwise, I will get nothing, not even holding onto her and my little brother."
"..."
"So, I accepted my fate."
"..."
"From now on, I will regard you as a sister, as long as you let me stay—"
