Bai Pingting, observing the strategic landscape from Dianqingfeng Mountain, expressed her concern about the Yunya Ropeway. She believed that although it might seem like a mere abandoned structure, it presented a critical vulnerability that Chu Beijie could exploit. She noted that their advantageous position at the peak, while naturally protected by the terrain, could not station enough troops and would be vulnerable to a determined assault.
To counter this, she ordered General Ruo Han to lead one hundred elite soldiers to sever the Yunya Ropeway, thus preventing any enemy advance to the mountain peak. Despite her precautions, Chu Beijie single-handedly breached the Liang camp, causing an uproar. As soldiers frantically cried for her to escape, Bai Pingting fled on horseback towards a deep abyss. In a tense moment, Chu Beijie caught up, throwing a rope to secure her horse just as she neared the edge.
He then pulled her onto his horse, and together they galloped onto the Yunya Ropeway. However, the ropeway, already being severed by Ruo Han's men, snapped mid-traverse, sending them plummeting into the chasm below. Chu Beijie, protecting Bai Pingting, sustained significant injuries in the fall. After their perilous descent, a wounded Chu Beijie confronted Bai Pingting, questioning her attempt to end her life when it belonged to him.
Recalling a past incident, Bai Pingting accused him of hypocrisy, asking why he would save her now when she believed he had once sent assassins to kill her. Chu Beijie vehemently denied ever sending anyone to kill her, asserting that he had come solely for her and offering his own life if she doubted his sincerity. Bai Pingting chose to trust him.
Meanwhile, General Ze Yin, witnessing the chase, misinterpreted Chu Beijie's actions as an abduction and ordered his troops to pursue them relentlessly to rescue her. As heavy rain began to fall, Chu Beijie's injuries worsened, and he developed a fever. Bai Pingting guided him to a mountain cave and built a fire. She confessed that she had ordered the ropeway cut to stop his army, but had not anticipated his speed, leading to a miscalculation that endangered them both.
In a tender moment, Bai Pingting recalled his moonlight oath, teasing him for making such a vow so soon after they met. Chu Beijie earnestly replied that he had held this vow in his heart for twenty years, promising to love only her and follow her in life and death. As Chu Beijie shivered uncontrollably from his worsening fever, Bai Pingting resolved to warm him with her own body, choosing to fully commit herself to him that night.
The next morning, with his fever broken, Chu Beijie playfully teased Bai Pingting about taking responsibility for the previous night's intimacy. He expressed a desire to remain ill if it meant receiving her devoted care. Bai Pingting affectionately called him a "sick cat" and jested about the dignified Prince Zhenbei's preoccupation with combing a woman's hair, remarking that the people of Great Jin would surely mock him and accuse her of being a bewitching temptress.
Chu Beijie confessed that she had indeed captivated his spirit and soul, asking what spell she had cast upon him. She playfully retorted, calling him a "glib-tongued fellow." Chu Beijie then inquired why Bai Pingting had employed delaying tactics since taking command of the Liang Army.
She revealed she was awaiting news from the Jin palace, reassuring him that any incoming news, regardless of its content, would ultimately resolve into a misunderstanding that would not harm him or those dear to him. She urged him to return home to fully grasp her true intentions.
Chu Beijie mused on their complex situation, realizing that for them to truly be together, he could no longer remain Prince Zhenbei of Great Jin, nor could she remain Bai Pingting of the House of Prince Jing'an. He concluded that every future step they took would require careful consideration. Meanwhile, General Ze Yin, observing flames at the bottom of the cliff, surmised that Chu Beijie and Bai Pingting were still alive and ordered his troops to conduct a thorough search.
The shouts of the searching Liang soldiers reached the cave, alarming the couple. Realizing that the Liang army would not spare Chu Beijie if he were discovered, Bai Pingting decided to confront them alone. She assured Chu Beijie she would find him in Great Jin soon and implored him not to wait too long.
Chu Beijie pleaded with her not to leave him, but Bai Pingting insisted on preventing further bloodshed and promised to evade her pursuers and rejoin him swiftly. Elsewhere, He Xia arrived in Great Liang and visited Yang Feng at her manor, inquiring about Bai Pingting. Yang Feng confirmed that Bai Pingting had indeed visited but was currently absent, inviting He Xia to stay and await her return.
Bai Pingting eventually rejoined the Liang army, where she was met with overwhelming gratitude. The Chief General and General Ruo Han, on behalf of the people of Great Liang, expressed their profound thanks, crediting her ingenious strategies with averting their nation's potential ruin. The soldiers praised her, vowing to follow her every command. One soldier presented Bai Pingting with his blood-stained cape as a pledge to live and die with her, which she accepted.
Bai Pingting then inquired about the news from the Jin palace, expecting an update on Emperor Sima Hong's health. However, General Ruo Han delivered devastating news: the Jin capital was in turmoil due to the simultaneous poisoning deaths of two imperial princes, both under ten years old. This revelation, indicating a terrifying escalation beyond her control, left Bai Pingting stunned and, overwhelmed by the threat to her future with Chu Beijie, she fainted.
Upon regaining consciousness, Bai Pingting found He Xia in her room. She immediately realized he must have revealed the deadly properties of the poison they had concocted together to the Liang King, leading to the deliberate murder of the Jin princes. He Xia then posed a chilling question, highlighting the gravity of the situation: with Chu Beijie now indirectly implicated in the deaths of Emperor Sima Hong's only two sons, how could Sima Hong ever forgive him? And how could Bai Pingting ever hope to rekindle her relationship with Chu Beijie under such circumstances?
