(Gemini)

(Episode 10)

Last night, at the foot of the cliff,

I didn't sleep or rest,

just to pave a path...

to your death for you, Father.

That way, you can die soon...

That way,

you can reunite...

with my aunt.

You wretched woman!

You don't believe me?

Listen.

Death...

is knocking at your door.

This is Her Highness's private chamber.

Master Xiao, please show some respect.

You aren't kneeling in front of an imperial edict.

Is Your Highness defying His Majesty?

Liu Ming Fu.

As a court official,

you colluded with bandits...

in an attempt to murder the Princess.

The evidence is irrefutable.

This is an intolerable act.

By imperial decree, the Xuntian Sect...

is to arrest the criminal, Liu Ming Fu.

This is an imperial decree.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

These bandits have always been running rampant.

What does this have to do with Lord Liu?

Xiao Ren.

You're doing this on purpose!

Speak.

Let Lord Liu die knowing why.

Your Highness, I had no choice.

That day,

Master's attendant suddenly brought a bottle of powder.

He told me to mix it into the pear cake.

But it's food. I wouldn't dare tamper with it.

But the person was watching me then.

I had no choice but to mix it in.

But I was so scared.

I accidentally left some between my fingers.

I've already sent someone...

to verify it with the Imperial Physician.

The medicine can make a person drowsy and weak.

No wonder.

After I ate the pear cake,

I started to feel sleepy.

Someone found us two days ago.

He said there was a deal at Fox Tail Cliff.

There was a woman in mourning on the carriage.

They said she had been drugged,

so she wouldn't resist.

He asked us to pretend to push her off the cliff.

He said there would be no trouble.

How can that prove that I did it?

Where did this sachet come from?

That day, I saw that person was well-dressed.

I knew a powerful man was involved.

I secretly took his sachet.

I thought that if I got exposed,

I would have a way out.

Xi Zhong is an unusual name.

If I remember correctly,

this is Lord Liu's courtesy name.

They're bandits.

They stole my sachet to frame me.

Father!

Father!

Lord Xiao.

There must be some misunderstanding.

Lord Liu is my father.

Why would he harm his own daughter?

Lord Xiao.

You must investigate this matter...

and clear my father's name.

Your Highness,

you see him as your father,

but he might not see you as his daughter.

But don't worry, Your Highness.

I will definitely interrogate Liu Ming Fu...

about his intentions.

I will find out if anyone instigated him.

I'll find out everything...

and report it to His Majesty.

It was you.

It was you.

Take him away.

Father!

Let go of my father!

Father!

Father!

- Father! - Let go of me!

The pastries at your manor are indeed delicious.

Pastries from other places...

just aren't as good.

Sorry to bother you.

Your Highness.

Sorry for the trouble.

- Your Highness. - Lu Zhao.

I don't believe Father would do such a thing.

Your Highness must save Father.

You must save Father!

My dear.

Don't worry.

I will find out the truth...

and clear...

my father-in-law's name.

Lu Zhao.

What are you playing at?

Father.

How are you doing here?

You truly are my good daughter.

Didn't you want to know...

who has been helping me?

(Prisoner)

I guess I was right.

You devil!

You'll be punished!

Since I'm a devil,

what's there to be afraid of?

I indeed pretended to have amnesia.

I know...

that my mother's death back then...

wasn't suicide.

It was you and Fang Yuan Rou...

who forced her to die.

When I killed Fang Yuan Rou,

I knew...

you would seek revenge.

I killed her...

so that you would make a move.

According to the Southern Qing Law,

colluding with bandits only gets me exiled at most.

You did all this just for that?

What are you so proud of?

You know so many of Situ Xian's secrets.

Why don't you make a guess?

Now that you're in the hands of the Xuntian Sect,

will he let you live in peace?

His Highness likes Xue Er.

He'll surely come and save me.

Then do you want the world to know her background?

With such a filthy background,

her dream of becoming the Princess of Chu...

will never come true.

If death doesn't want you,

I'll be your nightmare.

Wench!

You wench!

You're just as heartless as your mother was!

Your mother forced me to marry into the Lu family, ruining my life.

You seduced a man and tried to kill me!

All of you from the Lu family are evil!

It's all your Lu family's fault!

He's dead?

Yes.

He knew what was good for him.

Your Highness.

After Ms. Liu found out...

that Lord Liu committed suicide in prison,

she became agitated and fainted.

Just have someone take her home to rest.

But...

What is it?

I took Ms. Liu's pulse just now.

She's pregnant.

Go and calm her down first.

I'll be right there.

Yes.

Don't come near me!

Get lost!

I want to see His Highness!

Ms. Liu.

You're pregnant. Don't be rash.

I told you!

I want to see His Highness!

Xue Er.

Xue Er.

Put down the knife.

Let's talk it out.

All right?

Your Highness!

Even now,

are you still unwilling to believe me?

My father...

and my mother...

They were all killed by Lu Zhao, one by one.

I'm next.

Of course, I believe you.

The Lu Clan Chief is arriving in the capital soon.

Bear with it for a few more days.

I can't wait any longer.

I can't wait any longer.

I've tolerated her for too long.

I want her to die!

I want her to die now!

I want her to pay for my parents' lives!

I want her to pay!

- Xue Er! - I want her to pay!

Don't you know this?

I've been holding back for so many years.

Was it just for myself?

Think about our child.

Don't you...

want him to be the Crown Prince?

Our child?

We're going to have a child.

We're going to have a child.

The Crown Prince?

Xue Er.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

The day that the Lu Clan Chief...

returns to the capital...

will also be the day of Lu Zhao's death.

Master Xiao, you came so quickly.

You summoned me.

I wouldn't dare to dawdle.

Let's get down to business.

The Lu Clan Chief...

will arrive in the capital soon.

Then,

I'm going to give all the Lu Clan's assets...

to Situ Xian.

What?

Now that it has come to this,

are you reluctant?

If I want him to die,

I have to make him go crazy first.

After he gets the assets,

he'll surely make a move.

Then, we can catch him...

red-handed.

But his first move after he gets the assets...

will be to kill you.

Therefore,

I need a legitimate reason...

to leave the manor.

I heard Liu Ming Fu committed suicide in prison.

And the one who drove him to his death...

was his eldest daughter.

Since that's the case,

I've committed a grave sin of being unfilial.

Currently, the ninth uncle heads the imperial family.

He's in charge of the family's etiquette and education.

If anyone is suspected of immorality,

he has to admonish them.

You've committed a grave sin of being unfilial.

You'll surely be sent to Pilan Palace...

to get a lecture from him.

I reckon Situ Xian...

wouldn't dare to make a move at Pilan Palace.

Otherwise, his ninth uncle would investigate things thoroughly.

Besides that,

I have another important task to do.

I'm going to divorce him.

(Yanyu Chamber)

Have you heard?

The Princess forced her own father to commit suicide in prison.

Everyone is talking about it now.

That's a grave sin.

Even His Highness couldn't protect her.

I heard she'll be sent to Pilan Palace for training soon.

Pilan Palace?

How is that different from prison?

It is headed by Situ Xing Yuan, the imperial family's ninth uncle.

That's right.

Her Highness is in for a hard time.

Lu Zhao.

There are many rumors in the capital now.

The Empress ordered you to be trained at Pilan Palace.

Don't worry.

I'll go to the palace and plead for you.

After this matter has settled down,

I will personally...

bring you home.

But Pilan Palace...

belongs to Ninth Uncle.

He is strict.

He won't allow servants to accompany you.

I've arranged a guard for you.

He can protect you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Keep an eye on her.

Report back to me...

if anything is out of the ordinary.

Don't worry, Your Highness.
