The two chatted idly for a while, and then Jhiang Yijia stood up to take his leave, repeatedly admonishing him to be cautious and to be careful not to fall into anyone else's trap.
Hearing Shao He agree solemnly, he left with peace of mind.

"Master, what should we do now? If this continues, even if the Second Prince and Doctor Shao don't have any problems, something about them will still be spread, damaging Doctor Shao's reputation."
"Heh, the mother and son duo have made their calculations quite carefully, wanting to reach into everything."
Pei Huaian guessed the Empress's intention, which was nothing more than her realization of Shao He's superior medical skills, wanting to take her for herself so that Shao He wouldn't be with him and able to help him.
