In An Lushan's study, An Qingxu saw An Lushan's memorial and learned that An Lushan intended to name the son born to his favorite concubine as the crown prince. An Qingxu was unwilling to accept this, and after confirming it was true, he became even more furious. Even after killing the ritual official, his hatred remained, so he decided to act against his father five days later.
Li Chu and his group sneaked into a secret passage in An Lushan's sleeping quarters during the day. In the evening, the eunuch who had agreed to cooperate with Li Chu served An Lushan a medicinal soup, and An Lushan fell asleep. Shen Zhenzhu, according to the plan discussed with Li Chu, intended to enter An Lushan's sleeping quarters. Unexpectedly, she encountered An Qingxu, who was also planning an action, outside the sleeping quarters.
An Qingxu pulled Shen Zhenzhu into the sleeping quarters. An Qingxu told Shen Zhenzhu to hide behind the curtains. He went forward alone, woke An Lushan, and questioned him about whether he intended to name An Qing'en as the crown prince. The hot-tempered An Lushan cursed at his son. An Qingxu, who was already prepared, drew his sword and stabbed his father. An Lushan died instantly. Shen Zhenzhu was stunned.
An Qingxu told Shen Zhenzhu that he was willing to commit the heinous crime of patricide for her, and therefore, from now on, there was nothing he wouldn't do for her. Just as An Qingxu was getting agitated, Mo Yanchuai and Feng Shengyi, who were ambushed in An Lushan's sleeping quarters, rushed forward and fought fiercely with An Qingxu. Li Chu took Shen Zhenzhu and left through the secret passage.
An Qingxu had already gone mad and killed his own father. Now, becoming the ruler of the world was his only goal. He tricked the young prince and the empress into a secret dungeon and killed both of them. On the carriage, Li Chu took Shen Zhenzhu and hurried to Shuofang. Seeing the haggard Shen Zhenzhu, Li Chu was filled with self-reproach. The news of An Qingxu's patricide and ascension to the throne was known to everyone.
Li Mi suggested to the Emperor that they should advance to Fanyang at this time, because the enemy army was in internal chaos, and Fanyang was a place where provisions were stockpiled. However, the Emperor was stubborn and believed that the current plan was to first retake Chang'an. As they each held their own opinions, the Emperor decided to summon Li Chu. At this moment, Li Chu, Shen Zhenzhu, and Mo Yanchuai were still on their way back.
The Crown Prince was furious upon learning that Li Chu had left the military camp without permission. Li Tan pleaded for his royal brother. With the military situation being urgent, and Li Mi persuading the Emperor, the Emperor decided to send Li Tan to Taiyuan to engage the enemy army.
