Li Chu was worried that the matter of Yong Wang would eventually become a hidden danger, so he requested permission from Suzong to travel to Shu and ask Xuanzong to bestow the national seal and the imperial edict of abdication. After much deliberation, the Emperor agreed. Before his departure, Li Chu and Li Tan bid farewell. Li Chu was deeply concerned about Shen Zhenzhu's safety.
Li Tan comforted him, telling him not to worry too much, as Feng Shengyi had already gone to rescue Shen Zhenzhu, and he believed she would return soon. In Chang'an City, Dugu Jingyao took Shen Zhenzhu and left quickly. When they reached the border between Yan and Tang, Dugu Jingyao sent her subordinates to escort Shen Zhenzhu away, while she herself turned back to Chang'an.
After all, Dugu Jingyao still had a family vendetta to avenge, and the matters of the Dugu family were waiting for her to handle. Shen Zhenzhu and her group had not traveled far before they encountered An Lushan's rebel army. The people escorting Shen Zhenzhu fought with the rebels, and all were killed. Shen Zhenzhu fled in a panic, walking alone in this chaotic world engulfed by war.
At night, Li Tan was alone in his tent, staring blankly at the concentric knot bracelet in his hand, his mind filled with memories of Murong Linzhi and himself together. Suddenly, a soldier reported that Li Chuo had led her trained female soldiers to pursue the rebels who had raided their grain supplies, but had not returned. It was highly probable that they had fallen into a rebel ambush.
Li Tan immediately led his soldiers to rescue them, but by the time they arrived, Li Chuo had already been captured by the rebels. Li Tan still wanted to lead his troops in pursuit, but the generals advised him to be cautious. After all, the enemy had already taken the princess, and ahead was the enemy's camp, so rash action was absolutely not advisable. Li Tan had no choice but to temporarily give up.
Shen Zhenzhu walked alone and helpless in the wilderness and met Mo Yanchuai and Zhe Miyi. Mo Yanchuai asked Shen Zhenzhu to travel with them, as they were also coming to assist the Tang army. In the evening, while stopping to rest, Mo Yanchuai told Shen Zhenzhu about Zhe Miyi. It turned out that Zhe Miyi had fallen in love with Li Chengcai.
Li Chengcai was a member of the Tang imperial clan, and this journey to Huige was on behalf of the imperial court to borrow troops. Zhe Miyi and he developed feelings for each other over time, so Mo Yanchuai decided to facilitate their union. To prevent Zhe Miyi from being criticized by the Tang imperial family for her humble status, he acknowledged Zhe Miyi as his sworn sister.
Shen Zhenzhu was very pleased to learn that Yehu had already led the Huige army to help the Great Tang, as this meant Li Chu's chances of victory had increased. The next morning, Mo Yanchuai quietly went to inquire about news near Chang'an and unexpectedly captured the Great General of Jingguo, a subordinate of An Lushan. Mo Yanchuai ordered him to draw out An Lushan's troop deployments and defense maps in Chang'an and Luoyang.
The Great General of Jingguo drew the maps and also truthfully recounted that Li Chuo had been taken away by An Lushan's subordinates. Shen Zhenzhu was burning with anxiety upon learning that Li Chuo was currently with the enemy. " "" In Shu, Li Chu arrived at the temporary palace where Xuanzong was residing. From Chen Xuanli, who was accompanying him, he learned about Yong Wang's rebellion and his intention to seize the national seal by force.
As the Grand Marshal of all forces, Li Chu deployed several thousand elite soldiers and repelled Yong Wang's men. Afterwards, Li Chu met Emperor Xuanzong, who had aged considerably. He asked Li Chu if he had truly made mistakes. Li Chu replied that as a grandson, he wanted to speak his mind to his grandfather. He stated that over the years, his imperial grandfather had listened to slander and favored corrupt officials, causing the court to lose its integrity.
Subsequently, Li Chu analyzed the current situation before Xuanzong, directly stating that only by handing over the national seal to his father (the current Emperor, Suzong) would it be beneficial to maintain the unity of the realm and restore the prosperity of the Great Tang.
Xuanzong instructed Gao Lishi to hand over the imperial edict of abdication and the national seal, which he had long prepared, to Li Chu, entrusting Li Chu to assist his father well and guard the glory of the Great Tang.
