"No, no, I'll head back eventually, but before I go, I'll stay with you." Gu Tao took off his wet coat and hung it near the fire: "Mrs. Wen, let me ask you, why do you want to seize power?"
"You want the truth?"
"It doesn't matter." Gu Tao attended to his clothes while speaking carelessly: "You can tell a lie, too. Forcing someone to tell the truth can be cruel."
Wen Ying seemed not to care how Gu Tao spoke, merely laughing softly: "Because I want unrivaled power, and then I'll use it to find a way to let me die."
"Just like the First Emperor of Qin searched for the elixir of life." Gu Tao shook out his clothes and looked at Wen Ying: "Mrs. Wen, have you only thought of death as the way out?"
"Hmm?" Wen Ying was taken aback: "Is there another way?"
