(Gemini)

(Episode 20)

I have reported Situ Xing Yuan's rebellion...

to His Majesty.

His Majesty approved a special search warrant...

for the Xuntian Sect to arrest Situ Xing Yuan immediately.

But our spy reported back...

that Pilan Palace is already empty.

Situ Xing Yuan is missing too.

He must still be in the city.

Take a team of men and seal the city gates.

Then take another team...

and search Pilan Palace from top to bottom.

My jade pendant is still inside.

Yes.

I understand.

I will leave now.

Why not rest a little longer?

Someone was hurt worse than me,

but still woke up earlier.

Since your memory has returned,

I will report to His Majesty...

and have him reinstate you...

as Xuntian Sect leader.

Report?

How do you plan to report it?

Will you tell His Majesty...

that Xiao Jin Yu...

deceived him and faked her death?

Or that you used witchcraft...

to bring someone back to life?

Xiao Ren.

I have made up my mind.

I will no longer take over the Xuntian Sect.

- Sis. - Listen to me.

Since ancient times,

emperors have despised the arts of witchcraft and spirits.

This matter must be kept secret.

You must not mention it to anyone.

Besides, I think...

I am no longer as strong...

as I used to be.

I no longer have the strength...

to take over the Xuntian Sect.

Not to mention,

you are doing a better job than I am.

In the past,

I was always out fighting at the front,

while you stood behind me, keeping me safe.

From now on,

let me...

stay behind you and protect you.

- Sis. - Stop calling me Sis.

We have been bound by that one word, "Sis,"

for so many years.

A sister...

cannot fall in love with her own brother.

But Lu Zhao can.

Lu Zhao can fall in love with Xiao Ren.

From now on,

I will no longer be Xiao Jin Yu.

I will only be your...

Lu Zhao.

This is...

It is for Lu Zhao.

When I helped you,

I never thought...

we would share these eyes.

From now on, I will take you...

to see all the world's beauty.

Actually,

I have known for a long time...

that you are not of the Xiao bloodline.

Back then, my mother gave birth prematurely...

to only one daughter.

Unlike what Father had claimed,

we were not twins.

So you knew all along too.

I did take out...

some of my anger on you.

When I learned the truth,

I asked Father...

why he was so biased.

But Father said...

the Xiao family must carry on its lineage.

It cannot end with his generation.

Otherwise,

he would fail our ancestors.

It was right here...

that I was forced to kneel and swear an oath.

For the sake of the Xiao family,

I must forever hide this secret...

and never reveal your background to anyone.

At first, I was resentful.

I hated...

that I was clearly of the Xiao bloodline,

yet when you came,

you took everything from me.

That is why...

I treated you against my heart...

and was deliberately cold toward you.

But you always put me first,

even risking your life...

for me several times.

I have never felt wronged.

Having you by my side is already a blessing.

Before the ancestors of the Xiao family,

I, Xiao Ren,

swear an oath from this day:

Through countless perils and hardships,

I shall never fail her.

May the ancestors show mercy,

and may this vow endure...

in this life...

and forevermore.

You desperately sought an audience with me.

For what purpose?

Ninth Uncle,

I heard that...

Xiao Ren has now forced you into a corner,

like a homeless dog.

Let me out.

I will kill him for you.

Given your current state,

how will you kill him?

With my life.

I can help you leave this place.

The old Song residence...

has been abandoned for years since Song Lou's treason.

No one guards it to this day.

I...

will have someone set up explosives there,

then lure Xiao Ren out.

The rest...

is up to you.

Speaking of which,

there is one more thing...

I think you should know.

Lu Zhao died at the birthday banquet a long time ago.

The current Lu Zhao...

is Xiao Jin Yu.

That girl was so delicious.

Her skin was so soft and smooth.

She must have grown up pampered.

Indeed.

When I held her,

she kept calling out, "Your Highness!"

Could it be...

that we got to enjoy a princess consort?

After the Prince of Chu was deposed,

all the women in his manor became official prostitutes.

This girl looks like she ran away from there.

Prince of Chu?

Why does that sound so familiar?

Is he not that eunuch prince from before?

That is him!

That is him!

Yes, yes.

Spare me!

Spare me!

Where is she?

She...

is over there.

- No! - Xue Er.

- Stay away! - Xue Er.

No!

Xue Er!

Xue Er.

Xue Er, it is me.

Xue Er.

It is me.

Xue Er.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Do you know where His Highness is?

Can you take me to him?

Father and Mother...

are both dead.

My child is dead too.

I only have His Highness.

Take me to him.

Take me...

Take me to him, all right?

His Highness could not even protect you.

Why are you looking for him?

Find him.

I will give him this amulet.

Then he will be safe for the rest of his life.
