"I know you’re worried about me, but after all, I am a doctor, and having me with you gives us a better chance of treating those commoners," Shao He said again.
Pei Huaian raised his hand to caress her cheek and said with tender eyes, "I’m only being selfish this one time, Shao He, I hope you are safe."
Seeing those tender eyes, Shao He’s heart fell once more. How could she, with her modest virtues, deserve such sincere treatment from this man who, to protect her, did not hesitate to put himself in dangerous situations, along with those innocent commoners?
"Fine! I agree with you!" Shao He helplessly nodded her head.

They all knelt down together, clasping their hands and said, "We pray for the Fifth Prince and all the soldiers to return safely."
Pei Huaian didn’t linger; his horsewhip snapped in the air as he led the army away.
