As for other people's sons on the battlefield, she had no interest in paying attention to them.

Zhang Peilan had to coax and persuade her mother to calm down. After leaving her mother's courtyard, she went to her brother's place, where her brother happened to be there as well.

Her brother's name is Zhang Zhelan. Several of the children in the family have names that include medicinal herbs, which is quite unique.

When Zhang Zhelan saw her coming at this time, she knew why she had come.

"Your mother has already told you everything."

"You don't know how reluctant your mother is to let you go." She rolled her eyes at him as she spoke.

Zhang Zhelan said, "I'm still young. I've been thinking about going out and exploring these past few years. The battlefield sounds dangerous, but military doctors aren't that dangerous. With the Qing Dynasty being rich and powerful, it's even less likely. Mother is just worrying too much."

Zhang Peilan didn't know if there was any danger for military doctors, but the battlefield was definitely not as safe as here. Wouldn't it be better to just follow the rules and be honest?

"I'm not worrying unnecessarily, I'm just worried about you. If you weren't born of me, do you think I would say a word? I know more than you do. Whether the battlefield is dangerous or not is not something you can just say. Brother, you're not young anymore. At your age, you should find me a sister-in-law. You said you're focused on studying medical books, and I've let you have your way. But if you really go to the battlefield, you might be comfortable, but the whole family will be worried about you. Can you really be at ease then?"

Zhang Zhelan was in a dilemma. He understood the reasoning behind it, but how to put it, he really didn't want to follow the established procedures. What he didn't say was that he didn't really like the atmosphere of the Imperial Medical Academy, not that there was anything wrong with the Imperial Medical Academy.

In recent years, the Imperial Hospital has become much more stable, and he no longer has to live in constant fear, but he just doesn't want to go.

Perhaps because his family environment was relatively simple, although his father had other women, he didn't end up with any half-brothers or half-sisters. In such an environment, he didn't have to scheme and fight for his father's position, so he inevitably had some youthful impetuosity.

Young people all have their own ideas. He is not yet twenty years old and is in the middle of his teenage years, always wanting to do something.

He had originally planned to travel around, but now that he knew he could go to the military camp, this idea came to mind.

Zhang Zhelan was determined to leave. He looked composed, but he was not mature beyond his years.

Seeing her brother's expression, Zhang Peilan knew he hadn't listened to her advice.

"Does Father know?"
