Shen Yu disguised as a ghost face and broke into the prison, Xu Shijin did not want to leave with him, Shen Yu took off the mask and told Xu Shijin that she still owed her a debt of love, and he would be with her no matter her life or death. Xu Shijin asked Shen Yu to leave, and the rogue Shen Yu said that if Xu Shijin did not go with him, then he would accompany Xu Shijin and wait for someone to surround them. Xu Shijin was moved by Shen Yu, he stretched out his hand to pull Shen Yu, and Shen Yu backhandedly hugged Xu Shijin in his arms and kissed.
After passing through the siege, Shen Yu took Xu Shijin out of the prison, and Eunuch Li informed the prince Liu Wang of the matter, and suggested that Liu Wang order the Shen residence and Xu residence to be sealed up. Liu Wang stopped him because he wanted to use Shen Yan's hand to get rid of King Guangping, so he did not want to have bad relations with Shen Yan.
Shen Yu expected that the prince would not do anything to the Shen family, so he brought Xu Shijin to the Shen family. The next morning, under the escort of Shen Yan, Liu Ling took a carriage to get out of the city from the north gate. The guard of the north gate thought that Xu Shijin was hidden in Liu Ling's carriage, so he asked Eunuch Li, who was guarding the south gate, to come over. Eunuch Li brought someone to stop him, and Liu Ling generously asked Eunuch Li to check. At this time, a soldier reported that two people wearing veil caps broke out of the city gate at the south gate. Eunuch Li didn't find the problem and had to let him go. Xu Shijin and Shen Yu, who were dressed as Liu Ling's entourage, managed to escape.
Eunuch Li led someone to catch up and found that it was Eunuch Xu and Eun Shen who had broken through the city gate. Liu Wang beat Duke Xu and Duke Shen, don’t take the road of the ruined Lu family, Duke Xu showed his loyalty, Duke Shen blamed Xu Xu Shijin for implicated Shen Yu, and the two quarreled in the court hall. Looking at the farce in front of him, Liu Wang was angry but helpless. He hinted that someone would make up for the faults of the Shen and Xu families. After leaving the East Palace, Xu Gong and Shen Gong stopped acting, and both of them knew that the person Liu Wang wanted to use was Shen Yan. Later, Liu Wang summoned Shen Yan and asked him to go to Jiangzhou to investigate the evidence of King Guangping's rebellion.
Liu Ling and Shen Yan returned to Jiangzhou in the name of returning home after their marriage. Shen Yan felt a dangerous atmosphere in front of the Guangping Palace. At this time, a group of soldiers in the Guangping Palace were eager to try, and their goal was Shen Yan. Liu Ling proposed to go to Nanyuan first, which inadvertently helped Shen Yan escape. The two recalled the scene of their first meeting in Nanyuan, and they began to worry about the rebellion of King Guangping. Shen Yan still wanted to persuade Liu Lishan again. After all, he was Liu Ling's father. Liu Ling wondered why the warm and kind Shen Yan wanted to be the Golden Scale Guard who kills without blinking an eye. Shen Yan expressed that he hoped to help the emperor to achieve a peaceful and prosperous world, so that not only the people would be stable, but also his children and grandchildren could enjoy life without having to be disturbed by war. . Liu Ling confessed that he wanted to give birth to a child for Shen Yan, and Shen Yan was no stranger to such a tiger and wolf word.
Liu Lishan arranged for someone to instruct Shen Yan, and then met with Tuoba Lie and Lu Mingshan. It is reported that the emperor and the prince have set off secretly and are going to Lingshan to seek medical treatment. Liu Lishan wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the emperor and the prince, and lead the ancient Yi army into Jiangzhou, and use Jiangzhou as a stronghold to achieve hegemony. Tuoba Lie agreed to help Liu Lishan. One of the conditions was that Liu Lishan would allocate eight fertile land after becoming emperor. The city was given to Yigu, and the second was to ask Liu Lishan to kill Shen Yan. Liu Lishan agreed to the city, but he hesitated to kill Shen Yan, and Lu Mingshan lobbied.
At this time, Shen Yan, who had already escaped from surveillance, was eavesdropping outside the door. After Tuoba Lie and Lu Mingshan left, Shen Yan found Liu Lishan. Shen Yan thinks that Liu Lishan's cooperation with Yigu is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger. Liu Lishan feels that he has the ability to control Yigu. Shen Yan used Zhang Yun's death to persuade Liu Lishan to give up the fight for the so-called glory and wealth, and hoped that Liu Lishan would consider Liu Ling. Liu Lishan said that he would work with Zhang Yun. Reply to Shen Yan on the anniversary of his death.
Liu Ling took Shen Yan back to the palace secretly, and took away the daughter, Hong, who had been buried for Liu Ling by her mother Zhang Yun before her death. The two came to worship at Zhang Yun's tomb. Shen Yan vomited blood after drinking her daughter's red wine. At this time, Liu Lishan's private soldiers appeared on the hillside. In front of Liu Lishan and Tuobalie, the desperate Shen Yan jumped into the cliff. He quietly told Liu Ling that he would wait for him to come back. The heartbroken Liu Ling was brought back to the palace by Liu Lishan to be grounded.
