Pei Huaian saw the person with a worried face, raised his hand to smooth his furrowed brows, and consoled, "As long as the Empress and the Zheng family fall, Pei Chengye won't be able to stir up any trouble."
"But..."
"Pei Chengye is not smart, and he always listens to others in everything he does, without any thoughts of his own. If there's no one to strategize for him, he wouldn't dare to do anything excessive."
"Then you must be extra careful." Shao He knew that he planned to make a move against the Empress, and this battle was bound to be extremely dangerous, likely involving him as well.
Pei Huaian took her hand, lifted it to his lips, and gave it a deep kiss, "I won't let anything happen to me; for you and our son, I will take good care of myself."
Shao He withdrew her hand and got up to leave.
"Smooth talker."
Pei Huaian, hearing her last words, curled his lips into a faint smile.
