Zhao Yun put the medicine bowl aside, helped Ye Wanhe, who was kneeling and trembling on the ground, to her feet, and took her into his arms. He signaled with his eyes for Imperial Physician Shen to leave, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

In the front hall of the East Palace, Zhao Yun wiped the tears from the corners of Ye Wanhe's eyes with his thumb, "Only by taking the medicine can the disease be cured."

Zhao Yun whispered, "I don't want you to die."
