Yan Xing never expected that Shen Du would see her in such a way. She agreed to the divorce, deciding to walk a separate path from Shen Du, as if they were strangers from now on. She threw away their keepsakes and turned to leave. Shen Du watched Yan Xing’s back as she left, tears streaming down his face. He had no choice but to do this to protect her.
On her way back to her family, Yan Xing was fortunate to meet her mother. She fainted with a high fever and was taken home by her mother. The next day, when she woke up, Yan Xing tried to run out to find Shen Du, but her mother stopped her. Yan Xing then learned that Shen Du had sent the divorce papers early that morning.
Yan Xing's father and brothers were shocked when they heard the news that Shen Du had openly allied himself with the Black Rakshasa, Lai Luozhi. They couldn’t believe that the two, who had been bitter enemies, were now working together. Not only had Yan Xing been divorced, but she also overheard a conversation between her father and brothers, learning about the deaths of General Xu and Yun Que. Overcome with grief, she almost fainted.
Yan Xing went to the graves of General Xu and Yun Que to pay her respects. Shen Du also arrived, knowing that Yan Xing would surely blame him for their deaths. Shen Du explained that this had nothing to do with her; General Xu had to die because he was investigating Lai Luozhi’s rebellion. Yan Xing, enraged, stabbed Shen Du's shoulder with a hairpin, dipped it in his blood, and signed the divorce papers.
From that moment on, she and Shen Du severed all ties. Now, the court was almost entirely under Lai Luozhi’s control. He had no regard for the princess or the Prime Minister, Zhang Xiangwei, and now even planned to preside over the Grand Court Assembly on behalf of the Grand Empress Dowager. Shen Du stood by silently. Ever since Shen Du "allied" with Lai Luozhi, his subordinates were forced to follow orders.
In the academy, when noble students bullied students from humble backgrounds, Jing Lin, head of the internal guard, had no choice but to imprison the offenders in the guardhouse. There was nothing wrong with students from humble families seeking education, but knowing when to act according to the situation was more prudent. The people now referred to Lai Luozhi and Shen Du as the "Black and White Rakshasa.
" As the two of them rode their horses through the streets, side by side, it made for an unusual sight. Jiang Langxing was patrolling the streets with his men when he saw Lai Luozhi and Shen Du riding and blocking the way of pedestrians. Outraged, he stepped forward to stop them and insulted Shen Du, furious that Shen Du was now aiding a tyrant.
Lai Luozhi wanted to take Jiang Langxing away, but Shen Du stopped him, saying that since Jiang had insulted him, he would deal with it personally. Shen Du shot an arrow at Jiang Langxing, but it didn’t harm him. It was only meant as a warning, to tell Jiang to advise his men to behave and not get into trouble. Shen Du’s bond with them ended there.
Lai Luozhi took Jiang Langxing to the Ministry of Justice, and Lu Chuichui was heartbroken when she saw Jiang injured. In front of Lu Chuichui, Lai Luozhi cruelly humiliated Jiang. He forced Lu Chuichui to sing a nursery rhyme for him. In order to protect Jiang Langxing, Lu Chuichui reluctantly sang as Lai Luozhi demanded. It was a song that Lai Luozhi’s mother used to sing to him.
Lai Luozhi then released Jiang Langxing, telling Lu Chuichui that as long as she stayed by his side, she would have everything she wanted, and for the sake of her feelings, he wouldn’t make things too difficult for the people she cared about. After saying this, Lai Luozhi reached out to wipe Lu Chuichui’s tears, but she turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
