In a villa in Chang'an City, Shen Zhenzhu stayed alone in her room. Yan Ming, disguised, came to Shen Zhenzhu's room. He told Shen Zhenzhu that Li Chu had executed Yang Guozhong, and he came this time at Li Chu's behest to pick her up. The rescue operation for Shen Zhenzhu was set for five days later, during An Qingxu and Dugu Jingyao's wedding, when the scene would be chaotic, and he would come to rescue Shen Zhenzhu.
Shen Zhenzhu instructed Yan Ming to search for the jade pendant she had dropped in the secret passage of Prince Guangping's mansion, as it was a priceless treasure—the Qilin Order. After Yan Ming left, Shen Zhenzhu paid respects in the courtyard to her deceased parents and the innocent departed souls of the Shen family. She told her parents that she had finally avenged the Shen family, and they could rest in peace.
Outside Chang'an City, the Crown Prince's party was stationed there. Li Chuo, a woman no less brave than a man, also selected some strong maidservants and formed a female soldier camp, training them properly. Su Ci was also among them. With no prior training, Su Ci was determined to master a skill to protect Shen Zhenzhu in the future, so she begged Li Chuo to also place her in the female soldier camp for training.
In Crown Princess Zhang's tent, the Crown Prince was playing with young prince Shao'er. Consort Pei came carrying medicinal cuisine. When she was about to leave, she feigned feeling unwell. The Crown Prince rushed over. Crown Princess Zhang, not to be outdone, secretly pinched her son's arm to make the Crown Prince stay. Shao'er burst into tears, and the Crown Prince had no choice but to hold and comfort him.
In the evening, Crown Princess Zhang gave the Crown Prince a bowl of medicinal soup. After drinking it, the Crown Prince became drowsy. After the Crown Prince fell asleep, Crown Princess Zhang instructed He Lingyi to begin their operation. Crown Princess Zhang wanted He Lingyi to first inform Li Fuguo that the Crown Prince was resting and that discussions would resume tomorrow.
Li Chu, unaware that his royal father was resting, arrived at the Crown Prince's tent according to the original arrangement. At the entrance of the tent, He Lingyi, hiding in the shadows, shot a worm raised with Xiaohun San into Li Chu's neck. Afterward, she had Eunuch Li arrange to bring Consort Pei to Li Chu's tent.
Crown Princess Zhang planned to have the maidservant she had placed by Consort Pei scream loudly when Li Chu's drug took effect and he and Consort Pei were intimately involved, making it known to everyone. This way, she could bring down Li Chu and Consort Pei, killing two birds with one stone.
When Consort Pei entered the tent, the Xiaohun San in Li Chu's body began to take effect, but he restrained himself, covering Consort Pei's hand and shaking his head at her. Seeing this, Consort Pei knew something was wrong and quickly told the maidservant waiting outside that there was no one inside, then hurried away. Li Chu staggered to the riverside, plunged into the water, and finally calmed down. Feng Shengyi also arrived by Li Chu's side at this time.
Li Chu recalled the strange sensation on his neck before entering the tent and Cui Caiping's previous words, realizing he had fallen victim to Crown Princess Zhang and Li Fuguo's scheme. The next day, Li Chu was supervising soldier training. Seeing the Crown Princess emerge from her tent, he called out to her, warning her not to use those despicable palace schemes on him.
Subsequently, Li Chu received a letter from Yan Ming and dispatched Feng Shengyi to lead people to assist Yan Ming. On the wedding day of An Qingxu and Dugu Jingyao, Shen Zhenzhu deliberately sent away the maidservant guarding her, waiting for Yan Ming and others to arrive. The door opened, but the person who came in was Dugu Jingyao. Dugu Jingyao feigned having something on her mind and wanted to chat with Shen Zhenzhu.
She even specifically poured Shen Zhenzhu a cup of tea. Shen Zhenzhu, completely unsuspecting, drank it, not realizing the tea had been drugged by Dugu Jingyao. After Shen Zhenzhu finished drinking, she was unable to speak. Dugu Jingyao explained that this was a last resort for her, and the drug's effects would naturally subside after half an hour. Just like that, Shen Zhenzhu was changed into a wedding dress, had a wedding veil placed over her head, and waited for An Qingxu to arrive.
