Emperor Suzong's health was deteriorating, and Empress Zhang grew increasingly anxious. She had to act quickly to secure the throne for her son, Li Shao. Empress Zhang asked He Lingyi to take her personal letter to see Shi Siming. She wanted Shi Siming to understand that Li Shao was his biological son, so he would willingly help her. He Lingyi worried that if they proceeded this way, Shi Siming's power would become too great in the future.
The malicious Empress Zhang declared that once Shao'er became emperor, she could easily eliminate Shi Siming. Shi Siming read Empress Zhang's letter, but he harbored doubts about what was mentioned in the letter. So he told He Lingyi that he would secretly infiltrate Chang'an in a few days to meet Empress Zhang. At that time, he would use his own methods to verify Li Shao's identity.
Shen An, who possessed an exceptional memory, read extensively medical books at Murong Linzhi's Jishitang. He could remember everything at a glance and integrate the knowledge. Mr. Changsun E believed Shen An was a promising talent and decided to take him as his disciple. One day, Murong Linzhi brought Shen An to Prince Guangping's mansion to visit Shen Zhenzhu.
While the two sisters were talking, Shen Zhenzhu, being careless for a moment, spoke of how she was poisoned and recuperated at her master Li Bai's residence. Upon hearing this, Murong Linzhi suddenly recalled the scene of Li Tan going to Li Bai's residence to look for her. Li Tan, wearing a mask and coarse cloth clothes, arrived at Murong Linzhi's Jishitang. He stealthily stood by the door, observing.
Shen An saw him and, thinking he was a poor commoner who couldn't afford a doctor, coming for medical advice, rushed forward, wanting to pull him in. Li Tan, fearing Murong Linzhi would see him, turned to leave. He accidentally fell down the steps, and his mask came off. Murong Linzhi hurried over, asking Li Tan if he was hurt anywhere.
Li Tan saw from Murong Linzhi's expression and reaction that she still didn't recognize him, so he conceived the idea of staying at the medical hall to take care of Murong Linzhi. Mr. Changsun E heard the commotion outside and came out. Knowing Li Tan's intentions, he immediately ordered him to leave. Li Tan, determined to stay at the medical hall, first began to persuade Shen An.
He told Shen An that he had many medicinal herbs that Murong Linzhi needed. Shen An was moved and persuaded Mr. Changsun E, hoping he would agree to let Li Tan stay. Li Tan also repeatedly made assurances. Mr. Changsun E, seeing Li Tan's sincere attitude, relented and allowed Li Tan to stay at the medical hall to do odd jobs.
After receiving Mr. Changsun E's approval, His Royal Highness Prince Jianning, who usually lived a life of luxury and never had to lift a finger, chopped firewood, brewed medicine, and fetched spring water from the mountain at the medical hall. Mr. Changsun E was still worried that Li Tan's presence at the medical hall might agitate Murong Linzhi, so he deliberately made things difficult for Li Tan, hoping he would give up.
He asked Li Tan to help him taste four bowls of medicine. Li Tan, without hesitation, drank one bowl after another. His whole body was unbearably itchy, and his stomach ached greatly. All of this was witnessed by Murong Linzhi. Emperor Suzong, not yet fully recovered, lay in bed, handling the mountainous pile of memorials. Empress Zhang feigned concern and came to visit. After the emperor fell asleep, she secretly read the memorials submitted by his officials.
Seeing several memorials requesting the emperor to establish Li Chu as the Crown Prince, she flew into a rage. She ordered Li Fuguo to take all these memorials and burn them. Su Ci gave birth to a baby boy; both mother and child were safe. Shen Zhenzhu was very happy and instructed Zhang Deyu to send someone to look after Su Ci.
Unexpectedly, Su Ci, who had just given birth, came to Shen Zhenzhu's room at that moment and knelt before her. Shen Zhenzhu quickly helped Su Ci up. Su Ci began to explain the reason for her kneeling. It turned out that the hunter Su Ci married was previously an assassin. He had heard Su Ci talk about the Shen family, so before he died, he wrote a letter to Su Ci, telling her to open it after she gave birth.
Su Ci was stunned after reading it, because this assassin had once been assigned by Yang Guozhong to kill the Shen family, but before they could act, the entire Shen family was murdered. Upon hearing this, Shen Zhenzhu also suspected that the true killer of the Shen family was someone else. Shen Zhenzhu handed the hunter's letter to Li Chu. Li Chu, recalling Yang Guozhong's words before he was killed, decided to start the investigation with He Lingyi to uncover the mastermind.
