Li Chu brought Shen Zhenzhu back to Prince Guangping's mansion. Seeing that things had come to this, Shen Zhenzhu decided to speak her mind. She accused Li Chu of wiping out the entire Shen family for the Qilin Token and marrying her into Prince Guangping's mansion. Li Chu told Shen Zhenzhu the truth. He explained that he investigated the Shen family because Yang Guozhong repeatedly visited the Shen mansion.
So he went to an informant to ask for the reason behind it and only then learned it was because of the Qilin Token. The jade whistle was left by him for Shen Yizhi, so that he could summon his personal guards in times of crisis. Marrying her into Prince Guangping's mansion was part of his plan, but he also intended to protect the Shen family.
Shen Zhenzhu, who had misunderstood Li Chu for a long time, did not believe Li Chu's explanation. Li Chu stated that he had already found Shen An's whereabouts and that the truth would be revealed once Shen An returned. The Crown Prince sent someone to bring Li Tan to the Eastern Palace, ordering him to divorce Murong Linzhi, because the incessant rumors about Murong Linzhi had already affected the royal family's reputation.
Li Tan was unwilling to do so and argued forcefully. The Crown Prince stated that divorcing Murong Linzhi now could still save her life; further delay would only lead to a secret imperial edict from the Emperor, ordering Murong Linzhi to hang herself. Late at night, Li Tan came to Murong Linzhi's room and left, thinking she was asleep.
In fact, Murong Linzhi was not asleep; she heard the sound of the door curtain and, thinking Li Tan had arrived, hurriedly followed him out, arriving at Li Tan's study. At this moment, a courtesan was in Li Tan's room because Li Tan had paid to reserve the entire brothel when he was drunk. Since Li Tan had paid a large sum, the woman wanted to pledge herself to him.
Li Tan pushed the woman away in disgust, calling her a prostitute ridden by a thousand men. Murong Linzhi, who had just arrived, heard these words. Murong Linzhi recalled the scene of Li Tan finding her in the brothel and collapsed to the ground. Li Tan walked out of the room and was startled to see Murong Linzhi, but remembering what the Crown Prince had said, Li Tan cruelly pushed Murong Linzhi away, preparing to leave.
He then ran into Shen Zhenzhu, who slapped Li Tan, accusing him of being unworthy of a man for his actions. Shen Zhenzhu embraced the sobbing Murong Linzhi, brought her back to Prince Guangping's mansion, and stayed with her day and night. The next day, Li Tan came to Prince Guangping's mansion to find Murong Linzhi. Shen Zhenzhu left the room for the two of them, unaware that Li Tan had come this time to deliver a letter of divorce.
When Shen Zhenzhu returned to the room, she found Murong Linzhi hanging from a white silk sash and quickly took her down. Murong Linzhi cried heartbrokenly in Shen Zhenzhu's arms; she had originally thought Li Tan came to take her home and had endured all this for Li Tan. Shen Zhenzhu pleaded with Murong Linzhi to hold on for her sake. Li Tan also left Prince Guangping's mansion with a sense of helplessness.
Late at night, he chopped down trees in the forest to vent his frustration, letting the pouring rain drench him. The next day, Li Tan fell seriously ill and was bedridden; even the imperial physicians were at a loss. Li Chu thought of Murong Linzhi and went to beg her for help. Murong Linzhi told Shen Zhenzhu that she loved Li Tan and also hated him, but no matter what, she could not bear to see him die.
Murong Linzhi skillfully used a clever method, saving Li Tan's life, and stayed by his bedside until he woke up. Murong Linzhi handed the signed letter of divorce to Li Tan. Li Tan did not even glance at it; he told Murong Linzhi that he had thought things through and that no matter what happened, he wanted to face it with her. However, Murong Linzhi was already utterly disappointed; she pointed out that Li Tan could not forget the past.
