The Longest Day In Chang'An

Midnight (1x31)

:

Li Bi recalls Xu Bin once said that the key to resolving issues is to stay alive. He wants to free Tan Qi and then accuse Lin Jiulang for acting ultra vires by exercising authority on behalf of all three government ministries. He signs the statement with great reluctance. Tan Qi stays in the Counsellor’s mansion as hostage while Li Bi is allowed to leave. Li Bi bids Tan Qi farewell, and she senses his stoicism. Zhang Xiaojing goes to the paper mill, hands the foreman a slip, and moments later Xu Bin appears.
