Ze Yin departed, leaving his wife Yang Feng to feign sleep, a silent struggle to prevent herself from stopping him, as she understood his heavy duty to the country. Pingting comforted Yang Feng, reminding her that at least she had the chance to hear her husband’s farewell, unlike Pingting who did not even know the whereabouts of Chu Beijie, or how he was doing. Meanwhile, Ze Yin ventured into a village ravaged by the Bailan army, searching for survivors.

To his horror, he discovered the body of his loyal comrade, Wei Ting, grotesquely displayed on a flagpole. As Ze Yin moved to retrieve Wei Ting’s body, he was ambushed and surrounded by Bailan soldiers. Elsewhere, the Bailan army tirelessly scoured the mountains, eventually locating the cave where Pingting and the children, Ze Qing and Changxiao, were hiding. They demanded Pingting and the children come out. Suddenly, an arrow struck down a Bailan soldier, a clear sign of external intervention.

Pingting murmured Chu Beijie’s name, recognizing him despite his masked face. Chu Beijie then appeared, engaging the Bailan soldiers in fierce combat. He checked on Thirteen Lady Yan, asking if she was okay, and she confirmed she was. During the battle, a Bailan soldier aimed an arrow at Chu Beijie, but Thirteen Lady Yan bravely shielded him, taking the arrow herself.

As Thirteen Lady Yan lay wounded, she told Chu Beijie it was her fault and that she was willing to die for him. She then asked if they were still going to the plum forest. Chu Beijie, concerned for her, decided against it, stating they would return to Jiaoyan Pavilion instead.

After the battle, Chu Beijie asked Pingting how things were, and she reassured him it was fine, explaining that Liang soldiers had defeated the Bailan army, trying to hide the carnage from the children. When the children expressed a desire to see, Pingting told them not to, as there were dead bodies everywhere and they would be scared. Chu Beijie supported Pingting's instruction, telling the children to listen to her.

Ze Yin carried Wei Ting’s body to the Bailan army encampment and loudly challenged He Xia. He Xia appeared, acknowledging Ze Yin's emergence from retirement. Ze Yin declared his purpose: he was there for He Xia. He Xia, questioning Ze Yin's solo appearance, then offered him a chance to surrender, promising forgiveness. Ze Yin vehemently refused, retorting, "Who do you think you are?" The two men then engaged in a fierce duel.

During the intense fight, Ze Yin fiercely declared that one of them had to die that day. Eventually, Ze Yin was overpowered and defeated. He Xia, after Ze Yin’s defeat, asked him one last time if he would surrender. Ze Yin defiantly stated that if He Xia were still the former Young Prince Jing'an, he would die happily in battle, but now, He Xia was merely "a poor, pathetic, and laughable dog of Bailan."

Enraged by the insult, He Xia declared his intent to kill Ze Yin, then changed his mind, deciding to let Ze Yin live to witness his ultimate triumph as he ruled the world. Pingting, Yang Feng, and the two children continued their desperate escape. Yang Feng's health deteriorated due to a severe cold, and she could no longer walk.

Pingting settled them in an inn, where the innkeeper, though hesitant due to the ongoing war, agreed to let them stay for two days. Pingting then ventured alone into a deserted town in search of medicine, but no drugstores were open, and no one had any supplies. Meanwhile, Yang Feng, suffering from a nightmare that Ze Yin was calling out to her and feeling Pingting's absence, woke up and went out onto the street.

She followed a crowd to a storyteller who was recounting the heroic tale of Chief General Ze Yin's battle against He Xia. Just as the story reached its climax, a Bailan soldier interrupted, shooting the storyteller with an arrow. He then announced to the horrified crowd that their Chief General, Ze Yin, had been killed by Bailan’s prince consort.

Overwhelmed with grief and rage, Yang Feng confronted the soldier, only to be pushed down and suffer a severe injury, coughing up blood. Pingting arrived just in time to shield Yang Feng from further lashing by the Bailan soldiers. Back at the inn, with Yang Feng critically injured and the children distressed, Pingting desperately asked the innkeeper for a clinic. The innkeeper regretfully informed her that all doctors had been conscripted to the front lines and medicines were scarce.

However, he recalled an eccentric but skilled doctor on the west side of the city. Pingting rushed to the location and, facing the doctor’s refusal to help, resorted to setting a small fire in his courtyard to force him out, begging for his assistance. The doctor, though annoyed, eventually examined Yang Feng and declared that he had managed to expel the poison from her body, but she required specific medicine that was impossible to find due to the ongoing chaos.

Pingting, unwavering, vowed to find the medicine no matter the distance. The doctor then hinted at a place where she might find it, though he warned it was unsuitable for a lady. Pingting immediately guessed, "Are you talking about Jiaoyan Pavilion?" At the same time, Chu Beijie arrived at Jiaoyan Pavilion. He informed the madam that he was there to see Thirteen Lady Yan. The madam explained that seeing Thirteen Lady Yan required a substantial fee of a hundred thousand gold. Chu Beijie readily paid, indicating his urgent need to see her.
