(Gemini)

(Episode 17)

Back then, you could not protect Xiao Jin Yu.

And now,

you cannot protect Lu Zhao either.

From beginning to end,

you have always been my defeated foe!

You really think I would not dare to kill you?

You would.

Of course you would.

You, Xiao Ren, what do you amount to?

Without Xiao Jin Yu to keep you in check,

you are nothing but a complete lunatic.

There is nothing you cannot do.

It is just that,

if you kill me,

then Lu Zhao...

will also be buried with me.

I placed the poison...

in the seal paste long ago.

When she transferred her assets,

she stamped her fingerprint on the papers, one by one.

The poison had already seeped into her flesh.

That is heart-piercing poison.

The only antidote in this world...

has already been taken by me.

At this point,

only if she sleeps with me monthly...

can the poison be suppressed.

If you want to save Lu Zhao,

you must first get me out of here.

And,

you must personally...

send her to my bed!

Then,

perhaps if I am in a good mood,

I can be merciful and sleep with her.

Only then can she barely survive.

Otherwise...

How dare you!

Who am I, Xiao Ren?

Do you not know that better than anyone?

You just wait for your death.

I, Xiao Ren,

will save my woman myself.

Half of the fiends in the Hall of Yama...

were sent there by me.

After you go down,

you will not be lonely.

Xiao Ren!

Xiao Ren!

Xiao Ren!

Today is the last day.

If we do not find the antidote soon, I am afraid...

Master.

Ice-Soul Blade?

The Ice-Soul Blade can only be obtained in the Northern Frontier.

The Northern Frontier is so far away.

How did you get it so fast?

Only the Ice-Soul Blade...

can remove the Golden Silkworm intact.

When used as medicine, the Golden Silkworm...

can neutralize all poisons.

But once it is ground into medicine,

apart from curing poison, it has no other effect.

The one within your body has been there so long...

that it has already fused with your heart.

If we were to take it out, you would be in excruciating pain.

Once the Golden Silkworm leaves your body,

you will lose the constitution...

that resists all poisons and feels no pain.

I have even experienced the pain of losing her.

What can be more painful than that day?

This Golden Silkworm...

was given to me by her.

Now, I am just returning it to its owner.

Do it.

I will do it myself.

Hurry.

Administer the medicine as soon as possible.

Yes, I understand.

Do not be afraid.

You will wake up soon.

I will not let anything happen to you.

By the Emperor's order,

the Prince of Chu, Situ Xian,

colluded with foreign tribes,

plotted treason,

and has gravely betrayed His Majesty's grace.

He is hereby stripped of his princely title,

reduced to a commoner,

paraded before the people for three days,

and confined for life.

His concubine Liu...

is given safflower...

and sent to the Bureau of Entertainment.

- Kill him! - It is all your fault.

Situ Xian!

- Kill him! - You forced my wife to her death!

You harmed my son!

- You animal! - I will fight you to the death!

He was castrated!

You had it coming!

You got what you deserved!

Serves you right!

- You castrated cripple! - You got what you deserved!

The heavens see our plight!

You animal!

You had it coming!

Serves you right!

- Well done! - You had it coming!

You have no conscience!

You got what you deserved!

Kill him!

Die!

You are not human!

Before the annex was raided,

I had already moved all the weapons.

Please do not worry.

Very good.

Your mission is complete.

Our great cause is nearly complete.

Only one step remains.

Do you mean...

the Imperial Palace Defense Map?

But only the Xuntian Sect leader...

is qualified to keep this map.

Xiao Jin Yu died so suddenly...

that she had no time to hand it over to Xiao Ren.

And ever since Xiao Jin Yu died,

Xiao Ren has been entangled with Lu Zhao.

He never looked for the Map.

Xiao Ren has always only had eyes for Xiao Jin Yu.

How could he suddenly become so devoted to Lu Zhao?

I have always found it very strange.

Ever since she woke up from the fall at the birthday banquet,

her personality has changed drastically.

It is as if she is a different person.

Miss, you are finally awake.

Master.

You are awake.

What is wrong with me?

Why did you sleep here?

It is all because of that animal, Situ Xian.

Master had to...

Situ Xian poisoned you.

I had to find the antidote for you...

and investigate the Prince of Chu's case.

I was too tired.

So I slept with you for a while.

How was my poison cured?

Do you not trust my methods?

What is so hard about getting the antidote...

from a pampered prince?

Are you hurt?

No.

Besides,

I have the Golden Silkworm.

Even if I am wounded, I feel no pain.

By the way,

the Prince of Chu's case has been concluded.

From the Prince of Chu's manor,

we found letters of collusion between him and the Qiang.

We also found the dragon robe...

and a list of colluding officials.

His Majesty has decreed...

that he be stripped of his title...

and confined for life.

It is a pity...

What is a pity?

It is a pity that your family assets...

were exchanged for weapons by Situ Xian.

He stashed them in the annex.

When we got there,

Jin Lin was there, setting himself ablaze.

If we could have seized that family fortune,

we would have had another source...

of military funds to fight the Qiang people.

Let us not talk about this.

I was scared to death.

What is wrong?

I had a nightmare.

In the dream, you were surrounded...

by many people trying to kill you.

I should have been there by your side.

Right there with you.

I am sorry.

It is just a dream.

Look.

You have protected me well.

You did not lose me.

And you will not lose me.

From now on,

there will be no more...

barriers between us.

Lu Zhao.

Are you sure about this?

In my life, I have never known regret.
