Finally it's already 3 days before the marriage. Shang Xi finally back again to the palace. Li Qi is now meeting with Shang Xi in the garden. The garden is full of  red spider lily. There is a table and chair made by a stone. The two of them talk about the plan over there.

"So, about the plan..." Said Li Qi.

"As I tell you in the letter, I will disguise as you and come to your room a day before the marriage. You have to go to the inn." Said Shang Xi.

"As for that, my father wants you to also attend in my marriage and to stand around me. So I cannot go to the inn. In that case, I will disguise myself as you." Said Li Qi.

"Alright. Then you will stay in my room for awhile." Said Shang Xi.

"Yes. We will switch room at night." Said Li Qi.

Shang Xi already planned everything. But Li Qi doesn't know any plan to kill her father, Tang Zhen.

In other place.

Lei Jian is in his room. Talking alone while thinking about his plan.

"There will be a sword awarding moment. I think I should used that moment to kill Tang Zhen. I will grab the sword quickly and stab the sword right on his chest. I think there will be 2 guards beside him, Shang Xi behind Li Qi, 10 soldier guarding the door, 5 guards on the left side, 5 guards on the right side. The other might be just a guest they invites and people from the palace. But there is a chance I might get killed here..." Mumble Tang Zhen.

Shang Xi is now in Li Qi's room. In the bed already prepared all marriage accessories made of gold and diamond, a bracelet, a necklace, an earring, a hairpin, jade ring, a red veil, and etc. The red gown already been hanged beside the bed. Not to mention a small dagger that she has prepared for tomorrow. She cannot sleep at all that night, since she scared all her plan is going to be failed tomorrow.

Next day they are both in the palace. The room they used for the marriage has been decorated beautifully. Red layers in every side of the ceiling. Double happiness symbol in the wall. Red roses in every side of the room. Red lampion on the ceiling.

Shang Xi and Lei Jian already in the front. They both are wearing red gown for marriage. Shang Xi still wearing a cloth to cover his nose and lips and also a veil. Tang Zhen is in front of them.

Soon it's the time for awarding moment. Tang Zhen with 2 guards beside him which bringing 2 wood box left one bringing a sword and the right one a crown, come forward to the two of them, bringing a sword that he own and a crown made of gold, diamond and jade. The sword are placed in an opened wood box.  Tang Zhen lift the box and handed it to Lei Jian. In that moment Lei Jian been silent for a while, then he takes the sword.

After Lei Jian takes the sword, he bow down and kneeled down, while putting the sword right in the middle, in front of him and the sword is pointing down to the ground. Right after he stand up, it's time for the Woman to stand in front of the father to take the crown.  

Right at that moment, Shang Xi walk to the front and stand in front of Tang Zhen. When Tang Zhen want to put the crown on her head, she quickly take her dagger out  from her waist pocket. She quickly stab Tang Zhen right into his right shoulder. Tang Zhen surprised, his shoulder is bleeding.

"Why are you doing this?" Ask Tang Zhen.

Shang Xi open the cloth that cover her nose and lips.

"You are a killer!" Said Shang Xi, she looked at him with a sharp look.

Everyone in the room surprised and panicked. Lei Jian also surprised. The guard beside Tang Zhen quickly take out his sword and slash her. A guard from the left side shoot an arrow and it is right on her back.

Shang Xi is bleeding, luckily Lei Jian successfully catch her before she fall on the ground. While Shang Xi is laying on Lei Jian's arm, she put her palm on his face.

"It's you... That guy on my dream... I already.. Take a revenge on the demon clan... You.. don't have to worry about that girl anymore.." Said Shang Xi while she cough in blood.

Right at that time the stone in Lei Jian's bracelet suddenly glowing bright.

"Li Hua? Li Hua is that you?!" Shout Lei Jian.

"It's... Nice to... know you.. Lei.. Jian... But my time.. has finally come..." Said Shang Xi. She still put a smile on her face. She slowly closed her, she takes her last breath.

"Li Hua! Don't go..!" Said Lei Jian, he hug Li Hua's dead body. He quickly put her body to the ground, takes his sword and quickly stab Tang Zhen right on to his heart, followed by a lot of arrow from the left and right side shooting at Lei Jian. 10 arrow stabbing his body. His eyes lost focus. He end up falling down on the ground.
