Xiao Changyi answered honestly, “I have always wanted to live like this with you, and I have planned to do so. However, if one day Xiyun Kingdom is invaded by another country and I am needed to lead troops into battle, I will go to the battlefield. Jing Er, forgive me for not being able to give you a complete guarantee. Although the surrounding countries have signed a non-aggression peace treaty with Xiyun Kingdom, the world is unpredictable; they might go back on their word and invade our land again. And I, being from Xiyun, could not stand by idly if my country is in trouble. Moreover, the land where we live is part of Xiyun Kingdom’s territory, and only if Xiyun Kingdom is at peace can our home here be truly secure.”

An Jing tightened her arms around Xiao Changyi’s waist and said earnestly, “My lord, you need not ask for my forgiveness. I was once a soldier, and it was after sacrificing for my country that I came here. I truly understand you. On this matter, I will not ask anything of you, but will join you on the battlefield. The day you said to me, ‘Where you go, I go,’ I now give those words back to you—wherever you are, I am too. Whether in life or in death, we will be together, never to be parted.”

Xiao Changyi was well aware of An Jing’s temperament and knew that if he went to war one day, even if he did not let her come, she would certainly follow him secretly. Therefore, he never entertained the idea of leaving her alone at home to worry while he went to battle.
