In Changsheng Hall, the Emperor whipped Li Chu again and again until he was drenched in sweat and could no longer move his arm. He then asked Li Chu if he knew his mistake. Li Chu still insisted on pleading for his younger brother. The Emperor ordered his eunuchs to press Li Chu to the ground for a caning.
With each stroke of the cane, Li Chu's back was already a bloody mess, but he still cried out "Imperial Father," begging him to spare Tan'er a life out of familial love. His breath was hanging by a thread, and he laboriously crawled to his father's feet, telling his Imperial Father that since childhood, his mother had entrusted him to hold his younger brother's hand and protect him well.
The Emperor was somewhat moved after hearing this, but at this moment, the Empress's voice performing a soul-summoning ritual for Li Shao came over, one by one accusing Li Shao of being wronged. The Emperor believed that if Li Tan could murder his younger brother today, he could kill his older brother and his father tomorrow.
The Emperor pointed at Li Chu, who was at his feet, and told him that if he dared to defy him and rebel, his own head would not be safe either. " "" Outside the hall, heavy rain poured down and thunder roared. Two guards supported Li Chu as they walked out of the palace. Li Chu, full of rage, pushed the guards away and walked alone, limping with difficulty.
He encountered Empress Zhang, who, with a triumphant demeanor, told Li Chu that she would take Li Tan's life to repay her son's life. Eunuch Li and the masked He Lingyi abducted Murong Linzhi. He Lingyi held a knife to Linzhi's neck, forcing Li Tan to write a confession, admitting to his treasonous act of killing his younger brother. To protect Linzhi, Li Tan wrote the confession and drank the poisoned wine.
However, He Lingyi did not keep her promise; the knife remained at Linzhi's neck. Li Tan, taking advantage of He Lingyi's inattention, kicked her away, pulled Linzhi, and rushed out the door, fighting with all his might against the Imperial Guards waiting outside. Due to overexertion, the poisoned wine took effect in his body, and Li Tan began spitting blood, mouthful after mouthful. Zhenzhu and Feng Shengyi, waiting outside Changsheng Hall, saw Li Chu walk out, covered in wounds.
They immediately rushed forward to support him. Li Chu ordered Feng Shengyi to immediately go to Jianning Prince's Mansion. At Hai Shi (9-11 PM), he was to take Li Tan away at all costs, and then burn down the Jianning Prince's Mansion as they left. Afterward, Li Chu and Zhenzhu also took a carriage and rushed to Jianning Prince's Mansion, Li Chu, anxious, urged the coachman repeatedly.
At Jianning Prince's Mansion, the Imperial Guards stationed there had already fallen under Li Tan's sword. He Lingyi, unwilling to let them go, approached step by step. She took advantage of Linzhi's inattention and once again held the knife to Linzhi's neck, demanding Li Tan hand over the antidote. Li Tan, unwilling to burden Linzhi, took out the antidote, crushed it, and sprinkled it on the ground. The powder was quickly washed away by the rain.
Seeing this, Linzhi broke free from He Lingyi's control, rushed to Li Tan's side, and tried to pick up the powder, but quickly realized it was futile. Linzhi cried out to the heavens, desperately asking Li Tan how she could save him. He Lingyi took out a dagger, intending to stab Linzhi. Li Tan, with all his might, blocked Linzhi with his back. He Lingyi's knife plunged into Li Tan's body, and Li Tan collapsed.
At this moment, Feng Shengyi arrived and fought fiercely with He Lingyi. During their struggle, he knocked out the needle from the back of He Lingyi's head. He Lingyi's true face was revealed, and Feng Shengyi confirmed that the so-called Ling'er was He Lingyi. Linzhi held Li Tan, screaming heartbreakingly for him not to die. Li Tan smiled, because Linzhi finally called his name. He asked Linzhi if he could still call her his wife.
He told Linzhi that he owed her, and he would repay it in the next life. After speaking, he collapsed into Linzhi's arms, and Linzhi was grief-stricken. Li Chu and Zhenzhu also arrived at the mansion. Li Chu saw that his beloved younger brother had passed away, and he spit blood and fainted to the ground. Feng Shengyi told Zhenzhu about his discovery. Zhenzhu confirmed that the tragic massacre of the Shen family was orchestrated by Empress Zhang.
Li Chu remained unconscious for three days before waking up. However, his heart was filled with immense grief. He hated the heartlessness of the imperial family, hated Empress Zhang's cruelty, and also hated himself for not protecting his younger brother. In the suburbs, in front of Li Tan's tomb, Linzhi knelt on the ground, burning paper offerings for him.
She told Gongsun E, who was beside her, that she had never hated Li Tan, but only blamed him for being heartless at the time. Gongsun E explained that Li Tan was actually forced into it; if he hadn't divorced Linzhi, Linzhi would have been assassinated by the imperial family. Linzhi sighed that the imperial family was the most heartless, and the palace was not suitable for sensitive people like herself and Li Tan to live.
Gongsun E knew the pain in Linzhi's heart might take a lifetime to heal. He took Linzhi and Shen An, traveling the world, treating illnesses and saving people. However, in Chang'an City, within the Imperial City, endless schemes and betrayals continued to unfold. But, Zhenzhu would be by Li Chu's side, advancing and retreating with him.
