[Deity Ai's P.O.V] [In GongZi]

Kun Lian goes into a house to look for Shi Fu's father,the shadow man that took her that night 20 years ago.

"Jinggu.." Kun Lian says.

Jinggu comes out and smiles.
"Kun Lian! What bring you here?" he asks.

"It's about the night you brought me to East Mountain.." Kun Lian says.

Jinggu looks at her and motions for her to sit down.
"I think you need to sit.." Jinggu says.

Kun Lian sits and looks at him,he sits across from her and sighs.

"Did you take me from the palace that night?" Kun Lian asks.

Jinggu nods and looks down.

"So its true.." Kun Lian says,in shock.

Jinggu looks at her confused.

"Thank you! I need to leave!" Kun Lian says hugging him.

[Meanwhile at the palace;In the throne room]

"Father, Bao Fang gave birth to beautiful baby girl named Bi" Jian says,joyfully.

Emperor Shi grimaces.
"You couldn't produce a boy? You're a embarrassment. I should have that child killed.. A girl will never be the heir to my throne" Emperor Shi says.

Jian clenches his jaw.

"Father.. you will not lay a hand on my child and will not instruct anyone else to do so as well" Jian says,with a aggregated tone.

Emperor Shi leans forward in his chair and gives Jian a look of irritation.
"Are you giving me orders?! You will not speak to me like that.. GET OUT!! " Emperor Shi yells.

Jian glares and storms out of the throne room.

[In Bao Fang's chambers;Few minutes later]

"Bao Fang!" Jian yells as he storms into her room.
She stands up and looks at him.

"What's wrong?" She asks.

"My father said he should kill Bi.." Jian says,furious.

Bao Fang looks at Jian,upset.

"And what did you say?" Bao Fang asks with a serious tone.

"I told him to not lay a finger on her and not to command anyone else to do so as well..But he told me to get out and now I'm here" Jian explains.

"If he hurts her.. I will kill him.." Bao Fang says out loud to herself.

Jian looks at her.

"Can you even fight.." Jian asks.

Bao Fang looks at him,seriously.

"..No" Bao Fang lies.

Jian laughs and hugs her.

[In Rumi's chambers]

"Where is Bao Fang?" Rumi asks.

"Probably with Jian.." Gui mumbles to himself.
