The Yang clan was executed. All the soldiers shouted that the emperor was wise, but how desolate was the emperor's heart? The laughter from Changsheng Hall in the past seemed to still echo in his ears, but now, his beloved concubine perished because of his own decree. The Crown Prince confided his worries to Crown Princess Zhang, saying that he didn't want to go south with his imperial father to Shu.
If he accompanied him, he would forever be a useless heir apparent, but if he didn't go, he would be branded with the crime of unfilial impiety. Li Chu stood alone in the wilderness, looking troubled, completely unaware that Li Mi, the minister who had previously retired to the mountains, had walked up behind him. Li Mi asked Li Chu what he was worried about.
Li Chu stated frankly that given the current situation, it would be best for the imperial father to remain in the north, but he knew what the imperial father was thinking and currently had no good solution. Hearing this, Li Mi sighed, saying that only the will of the people could change the emperor's decision. Li Chu and Li Tan were discussing matters in the room when Cui Caiping, startled and frantic, ran in.
She knelt by Li Chu's leg and revealed everything she knew about the Crown Princess's plot. She stated that the Crown Princess had deliberately told Zhenzhu about Li Chu's death, wanting to cause Zhenzhu to have a difficult labor, resulting in two deaths. After that plan failed, she deliberately did not inform Zhenzhu about leaving Chang'an. Hearing this, Li Chu was furious and demanded if what Cui Caiping said was true. Cui Caiping, terrified, hid.
The free-spirited and kind Li Tan thought Cui Caiping was delirious and her words might not be true, but the cautious Li Chu, recalling the Crown Princess's previous behaviors, had already become suspicious of her. Li Longji was preparing to lead his army south. As soon as he opened the gate of the temporary palace, he saw a group of common people kneeling at the entrance, begging the emperor not to abandon the north.
In addition, Li Chu and Li Tan voluntarily requested to stay in the north to fight against the rebels. The emperor had no choice but to agree, allowing the Crown Prince, Li Chu, and Li Tan to lead the army and remain in the north. In Chang'an, Dugu Jingyao handed over the parrot from An Qingxu to Zhenzhu.
She told Zhenzhu her feelings as an observer: An Qingxu was devoted to Zhenzhu, and if Zhenzhu could accept him, they might not be unable to grow old together. Zhenzhu replied that her heart already belonged to someone and could not accommodate a second. Dugu Jingyao came out of Zhenzhu's room and saw An Qingxu standing outside the door, looking dejected. She knew that An Qingxu had heard her conversation with Zhenzhu.
Dugu Jingyao couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she kindly reminded An Qingxu that one should put thought into gifts for a beloved person. Late at night, Zhenzhu remembered what Li Chu had told her before, feeling that this villa must also have secret passages. Zhenzhu, wanting to leave through a secret passage, began searching, and sure enough, she found the switch for the secret passage.
What Zhenzhu didn't expect was that a masked assassin was in the secret passage, intending to eliminate her. At the critical moment, An Qingxu arrived and saved Zhenzhu. The injured assassin escaped, and Dugu Jingyao also appeared in the secret passage with her subordinates. An Qingxu asked Dugu Jingyao to send people to seal off all the secret passages. After settling Zhenzhu, An Qingxu stood on the veranda and talked with Dugu Jingyao.
An Qingxu stated that the reason he was able to find Zhenzhu that day was because someone had given him a diagram of the secret passages in Prince Guangping's mansion. Dugu Jingyao believed that the person who delivered the message must be very familiar with the secret passages of Prince Guangping's mansion and the Crown Prince's villa, and this person was no ordinary individual.
Zhenzhu quietly hid behind the door, listening to their conversation, and wondered to herself who this person who repeatedly tried to harm her could be. In fact, that person was He Lingyi, and her true master was Crown Princess Zhang. The Crown Princess wanted He Lingyi to eliminate Li Chu and Zhenzhu, clearing obstacles for her son.
