After many twists and turns, Shen Zhenzhu finally returned to Prince Guangping's Mansion with Li Chu as she wished, seeing her son whom she had longed for day and night. Holding her son, Shen Zhenzhu looked around the room and, not seeing Su Ci, asked Li Chu where Su Ci was now.
Li Chu dared not hide anything from Shen Zhenzhu and had to tell her the truth, informing her that Su Ci was attacked and fell off a cliff while accompanying Li Chuo in an assault on the enemy camp. Shen Zhenzhu was very sad; Hong Rui, who had accompanied her since childhood, had passed away to protect her, and now Su Ci was missing.
Seeing the deeply grieved Shen Zhenzhu, Li Chu consoled her kindly, telling her that from now on, their family of three would always be together. Shen Zhenzhu told Li Chu her suspicions. She explained to Li Chu that when she was at Jinghui Temple, someone poisoned her food, attempting to kill her. Combined with the assassination attempt on her in the secret passage, she suspected that the true culprit behind the murders of the Shen family might be someone else.
Li Chu decided to investigate further. Cui Caiping, having lost her mother and concubine as her support, rambled to herself crazily all day in the mansion. Shen Zhenzhu took pity on her and, letting go of past grievances, instructed the people in the mansion to take good care of her.
Li Chuo was moved by Shen Zhenzhu's generosity and kindness, praising her sister-in-law highly and also feeling envious, hoping she could be like her sister-in-law and live in harmony with the man she loved. Murong Linzhi was going back to Taiyuan with the military doctors. Li Tan did not try to stop her, staring blankly at her receding figure. Li Tan's attendant and guard knew his feelings and asked him why he didn't stop Murong Linzhi.
Li Tan helplessly stated that he no longer had the right to interfere in Murong Linzhi's life, his tone filled with bitterness. The political situation in the court changed; Empress Zhang's ambition became obvious. Li Chu realized that he could not remain aloof and that only by seizing the position of Crown Prince could he protect his wife and children. The Emperor was temporarily unable to decide which prince should lead troops to attack Chang'an.
Previously, Li Mi claimed that no one but Li Chu could undertake this important task, while Empress Zhang strenuously recommended Li Xi. After much deliberation, the Emperor decided that whoever first captured Dasanguan near Chang'an would be able to lead the troops to attack Chang'an. At this time, Dasanguan was defended by General Tu'an himself, leading 30,000 elite soldiers. The arrogant Li Xi, like a frog in a well, boasted that he could take Dasanguan with only 5,000 troops.
Li Chu believed Li Xi's method was unfeasible and decided to meet with General Tu'an first. To infiltrate General Tu'an's stronghold, Li Chu and Feng Shengyi disguised themselves as women. Li Chu felt very uncomfortable and warned Feng Shengyi not to reveal that he was dressed as a maid. After infiltrating the stronghold, the two acted separately. Li Chu sneaked into Dugu Jingyao's room. Dugu Jingyao soon walked in.
Li Chu became very nervous when he learned that Dugu Jingyao was about to bathe and change. He tried to slip away but was noticed by Dugu Jingyao. Helpless, Li Chu had no choice but to explain his intentions thoroughly. Dugu Jingyao had been smitten with Li Chu at first sight, and now seeing him dressed as a maid, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The next day, Dugu Jingyao invited Li Chu to an archery contest with her, stating that if Li Chu won, she would choose to cooperate with him. Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao both shot the same bird simultaneously, and the contest ended in a draw. Dugu Jingyao was unwilling to send troops, but she wrote a letter by hand, asking Li Chu to give it to Shen Zhenzhu. Li Chu then left.
Li Chu told Shen Zhenzhu about his visit to ask Dugu Jingyao to send troops and handed Dugu Jingyao's letter to Shen Zhenzhu. After reading it, Shen Zhenzhu knew that the so-called General Tu'an was Dugu Jingyao and decided to take out the Shen family's Qilin Token to ask Dugu Jingyao to help Li Chu.
