An Qingxu, riding a tall horse, led a group of people to the Dugu Residence. Outsiders thought he was there to marry Dugu Jingyao, but in fact, he wanted to use the wedding as an opportunity to eliminate the entire Dugu family when they relaxed their guard. At the Dugu Residence, Dugu Jingyao's father and cousin, among others, waited outside.
Shen Zhenzhu, who had changed into a bridal gown and could not speak, was also helped to the entrance by a maid. After An Qingxu arrived, he immediately led his subordinates to fight with the Dugu family. Dugu Jingyao's father, the once renowned King of Yunnan, was also killed by An Qingxu completely unprepared. An Qingxu thought the person under the veil was Dugu Jingyao, so he proposed to fight her fairly to decide a winner.
But when he lifted the veil and found that the person in the phoenix coronet and bridal gown was Shen Zhenzhu, he was overjoyed. He decided that today, he would marry Shen Zhenzhu to fulfill his long-cherished wish. Shen Zhenzhu was unwilling. An Qingxu stated that at this moment, Li Chu and Li Tan were leading an army to attack the city, but he had already deployed 100,000 soldiers outside the city, vowing to take Li Chu's head.
Shen Zhenzhu, concerned about Li Chu's safety, had no choice but to agree and got into the carriage. Feng Shengyi and Yan Ming, who were lurking in the dark, decided to follow first and act as opportunity arose. At this moment, Dugu Jingyao, who was outside the city, learned from Uncle Lin about the Dugu family's perilous situation and immediately rushed back to Chang'an with her people.
At the entrance of the Dugu Residence, Dugu Jingyao saw the bodies of her father and cousin, and tears streamed down her face. Dugu Jingyao, who had fought numerous bloody battles on the battlefield, kowtowed several times before her father's body. Suppressing her grief, she led her brothers to confront An Lushan. She knew that from now on, she would have to support the future of the Dugu family. Dugu Jingyao led her people to intercept An Qingxu's wedding procession.
She told Shen Zhenzhu that she had previously wronged her, and now she had come to rescue her. Both sides engaged in a fierce fight. Feng Shengyi and Yan Ming also seized the opportunity to join in, and the three factions fell into a chaotic battle. Shen Zhenzhu got out of the carriage. Dugu Jingyao pulled her onto a horse and took her away.
An Qingxu originally wanted to pursue them, but An Lushan's orders came down, instructing him to take his troops to fight the Tang army. It turned out that the Tang soldiers led by Li Chu and Li Tan had already broken through the pass. The Crown Prince woke up in the middle of the night and was deeply moved to see the Crown Princess holding a sword, keeping watch for him.
In fact, this was just an act deliberately performed by the Crown Princess, whose ultimate goal was to persuade the Crown Prince not to wait any longer and to seize this opportunity to ascend to the throne. What the Crown Princess said was exactly what the Crown Prince was thinking, but he did not want to risk universal condemnation.
The next day, the ministers submitted a memorial, earnestly requesting the Crown Prince to prioritize the overall situation and ascend to the throne to ensure the stability of the Great Tang's empire. The Crown Prince agreed. In the fifteenth year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, Li Heng held his enthronement ceremony in Lingwu City. Under the homage of all his ministers, Li Heng ascended the throne as emperor, historically known as Emperor Suzong of Tang.
Li Chu and Li Tan reported to the Crown Prince that Prince Yong refused to comply with the imperial decree, citing that it lacked the national seal. Li Heng, feeling uneasy about his irregularly obtained throne, blamed Li Tan and Li Chu, claiming that they had persuaded him to ascend.
