Leaving the Shen Manor, Li Chu received news that Dong Zebu, who held evidence of Yang Guozhong's treason, had appeared in the Ganzhou area. He then ordered his subordinate He Lingyi to protect the Shen family, while he himself took Feng Shengyi and headed to Ganzhou. In the palace, Shen Zhenzhu learned that Prince Jianning Li Tan had pleaded with the Emperor to betroth Murong Linzhi to him, and she was genuinely happy for Murong Linzhi.
At the same time, Shen Zhenzhu also learned that she might be married into the Eastern Palace and decided to escape. With Murong Linzhi's cooperation, Shen Zhenzhu successfully swapped identities with her maid Hong Rui, disguised herself as a man, and fled. Shen Zhenzhu wanted to go to Huige to find the owner of the jade pendant. She rented a carriage, but the coachman drove at a furious speed. Shen Zhenzhu realized the coachman was heading in the wrong direction.
In fact, the coachman was sent by Lady Han, Cui Caiping's mother, to dispose of Shen Zhenzhu in the wilderness. When the coachman reached a desolate area, he asked Shen Zhenzhu to get off and rest under the pretense of taking a break. In reality, he had already pulled out a knife hidden in his sleeve. Shen Zhenzhu was alert and ran forward desperately. Just then, the carriage driven by Feng Shengyi passed by, saving Shen Zhenzhu.
Li Chu saw his old acquaintance, Brother Shen, and learning that she was heading to Huige, which was in the same direction as his, he invited Brother Shen to travel with them. Shen Zhenzhu accepted. Early the next morning, Li Chu did not see Brother Shen in the carriage. He waited for a while before Brother Shen returned. Shen Zhenzhu explained that she had gone to the bushes to change clothes. Li Chu was puzzled.
In her panic, Shen Zhenzhu dropped her bundle, and its contents scattered on the ground. Li Chu picked up a cosmetic box and realized that the so-called Brother Shen was actually a woman, but Li Chu did not expose her. Late at night, Yang Guozhong sent dozens of masked men in black to infiltrate the Shen Manor, coercing Shen Yizhi to hand over the Qilin Token. Shen Yizhi stated that the Qilin Token was no longer in his possession.
The cruel men in black then murdered Shen Yizhi's entire family. Only Shen An, who had been hidden in a secret chamber by Shen Yizhi, escaped. Shen An watched his father, mother, and other family members lying in pools of blood, overwhelmed with grief and trembling all over. Before another wave of men in black arrived, a man carried Shen An away. Arriving at Jincheng Commandery, Shen Zhenzhu and Li Chu parted ways.
To pass through the border and reach Huige, Shen Zhenzhu joined a group of Huige refugees. The leader was named Badanmu. Under his guidance, Shen Zhenzhu and a group of Huige refugees successfully passed through the checkpoint. Badanmu used the pretext of waiting for the Khan, who was coming to pay homage to the Emperor of the Great Tang, to make these Huige refugees wait outside the city.
The exceptionally intelligent Shen Zhenzhu found Badanmu's behavior suspicious, so she inquired with Yehu, who was on good terms with her in the group. However, the simple and kind Yehu believed Badanmu was a good person. That night, Shen Zhenzhu dreamt of her entire family dying tragically. Startled awake by the nightmare, she got up and wandered around. She unintentionally overheard Badanmu and his companions discussing their plan.
It turned out they intended to use these Huige people to assassinate Mo Yanchuai, the Khan of the Huige people. Just as Shen Zhenzhu was feeling surprised, Yehu rushed out from behind Shen Zhenzhu, intending to kill Badanmu with a dagger. Fortunately, Shen Zhenzhu quickly pulled Yehu back, advising him not to act recklessly. Badanmu led the Huige refugees in respectfully awaiting the Khan. The Khan agreed to let his people follow behind the soldiers and return to Huige together.
Badanmu secretly poisoned the Khan's water and then offered it to the Khan. However, Shen Zhenzhu witnessed this scene. As the Khan was about to drink the water, Shen Zhenzhu shouted loudly, "The water is poisoned!"
