Early the next morning, Shao He went to Zhao Feng's grave to pay her respects.
"Thank you for taking care of me all this time, I'm very sorry that you lost your life because of it."
Shao He had so much guilt to express, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to convey them, so she just knelt down on both knees, her hands pressing firmly on the ground, and gave a heavy kowtow.
Pei Huaian helped Shao He up, and after the two of them took a last deep look at the tombstone, they turned around and left.
The journey back to the capital was somewhat long, and Pei Huaian took Shao He to rest a while in the city.
The city was bustling with excitement, and even though a thick layer of snow had fallen on the ground, it did nothing to dampen the spirits of the people.
Pei Huaian found a tavern with Shao He and ordered some of her favorite pastries and dishes.
