Li Chu and Shen Zhenzhu were halfway there when they met Yan Ming and others who came to meet them. The group rested in an inn. While Li Chu chatted with the innkeeper, he learned that An Lushan's rebel army was stationed nearby. These rebels plundered, killed, and burned indiscriminately, causing immense suffering among the common people. Fortunately, there was a female general who often rescued the people from their misery.
After Shen Zhenzhu learned about the people's difficult lives, she suggested distributing their remaining grain to the villagers. So, Shen Zhenzhu began distributing porridge outside the inn. At this moment, the legendary female General Tu'an, who saved people from suffering, also arrived with grain. The villagers were happy to receive the life-saving grain, but then news suddenly came that the rebels were coming to the village to seize food.
General Tu'an immediately led her subordinates outside the village to confront the rebels. Li Chu and Feng Shengyi also led their men to fight the enemy. During the confrontation, when General Tu'an was in a difficult situation, Li Chu saved her. Her mask fell to the ground, revealing that this renowned female General Tu'an was Dugu Jingyao. Dugu Jingyao saw Li Chu and was moved by his handsome appearance and courageous spirit.
She fell in love with him at first sight and tried to inquire about his identity. However, she learned from the innkeeper that Li Chu was staying there with his wife, which left her feeling regretful. Empress Zhang did not want Shen Zhenzhu to return safely, so she deliberately exaggerated to the Emperor about Shen Zhenzhu and An Qingxu's wedding ceremony in Chang'an. The Emperor was furious, believing that Shen Zhenzhu had disgraced the royal family.
After Shen Zhenzhu returned, he questioned her about the matter. Shen Zhenzhu openly admitted it, which enraged the Emperor even more, despite Li Chu's repeated attempts to explain the circumstances. Under Empress Zhang's deliberate instigation, the Emperor decided to send Shen Zhenzhu to Jinghui Temple for spiritual cultivation. Li Chu naturally refused, but the Emperor threatened to remove him from his position as Grand Marshal if he remained stubborn.
For the sake of the common people and the Tang Dynasty, Shen Zhenzhu chose to compromise. Thus, Shen Zhenzhu was sent to Jinghui Temple. Li Chu, along with Su Ci, took Shi'er to visit her. Afterwards, Li Chu personally called upon Li Bi, hoping he could persuade the Emperor to release Shen Zhenzhu soon.
However, to his surprise, Li Bi refused, believing that Li Chu was destined to bear the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty and should not be constrained by personal affections. Moreover, Li Bi also thought that Shen Zhenzhu's matter was unacceptable to the imperial family. Li Chu disagreed with Li Bi's words and solemnly told Li Bi that he would never be a man who abandoned his wife. Late at night at Jinghui Temple, Shen Zhenzhu felt chest pain while reading.
She wanted to take medicine but found the bottle empty. A knock came from outside the window. She opened the door to find Mo Yanchuai. It turned out that Mo Yanchuai had come to bring medicine to Shen Zhenzhu, offering help in her time of need. He told Shen Zhenzhu that he would definitely find a way to rescue her. As Mo Yanchuai left, he met Li Chu, who was waiting outside the temple.
In fact, Li Chu was also deeply concerned about Shen Zhenzhu. Li Chu and Mo Yanchuai discussed having Ye Hu step forward in the name of the Huihe Grand General to put pressure on the Emperor. Shen Zhenzhu looked up and saw countless Kongming lanterns in the sky, knowing it was Li Chu's doing. Shen Zhenzhu understood Li Chu's feelings, so she would persevere and wait.
Shi Siming also learned the news of An Qingxu's parricide and succession to the throne. He believed that An Qingxu had disregarded human morality and was unwilling to submit to him.
