Episode 25 recap: Shao Yi, in order to get Gu Qingqiao killed so that Duan Yu would give up, beats the drums to expose the injustice and demands that the Commandant Du openly try the cas
The Commandant Du received a mysterious order to either steal the Azure Wood Figurine Sword from Gu Qingqiao or bring Gu Qingqiao to him alive. Originally, the Commandant Du wanted Gu Qingqiao dead, but now the mysterious person wants to protect her.The Commandant Du has no choice but to bring Gu Qingqiao out for a confrontation. Shao Yi suddenly says that he was kidnapped by the Mantra Sect members together with Gu Qingqiao, not kidnapped by her. The Commandant Du brings out Shao Yi's previous statement, telling him that changing his statement is perjury and he will be exiled. However, Shao Yi says he was not in his right mind then, and Duan Yu also backs him up, saying this situation can be re-examined.
At this moment, a mysterious masked person appears, claiming to be from the Divine Palace and able to prove that Gu Qingqiao was kidnapped by the Mantra Sect members. Upon removing the mask, it is revealed to be Lu Zizheng! He says he has been undercover in the Mantra Sect and is the Right Protector. With his testimony, Gu Qingqiao is finally acquitted.
Gu Qingqiao is very grateful to Lu Zizheng, but Duan Yu questions his identity. Lu Zizheng says Gu Qingqiao's tribulation is predestined, and he also knows her identity. Lu Zizheng wants to stay at the Gu residence, and Duan Yu invites him to the Duan residence, but Lu Zizheng says he has stayed at the Gu residence before, so Gu Xingmei lets him stay. Gu Qingqiao tells Lu Zizheng many things and apologizes for misunderstanding him, and asks him to help locate the position of the fourth spiritual object, but Lu Zizheng doesn't know either.
Lu Zizheng asks Gu Qingqiao if the Azure Wood Figurine Sword is with her, and Gu Qingqiao says it's with Duan Yu. Lu Zizheng asks if she is willing to go with him after collecting the four spiritual objects, and Gu Qingqiao says she's about to die and doesn't want to implicate him. Gu Qingqiao also asks Lu Zizheng how to awaken the sword spirit, and Lu Zizheng says there may be a way, so they go to find Duan Yu to get the sword.
Ruo Yun, because Duan Yu helped overturn Gu Qingqiao's case and rejected her marriage proposal, feels ashamed and doesn't want to go home. Her father, the Commandant Du, doesn't care about her either, so she wanders the streets and is found by Xingshi, who takes her back to his own home.
Lu Zizheng teaches Gu Qingqiao to use blood to awaken the Azure Wood Figurine Sword, but after the sword flies up, there is no response. Lu Zizheng says the sword spirit doesn't exist, and it was probably a deception by the sect master. Gu Qingqiao is very sad, and Duan Yu invites her to release sky lanterns together to convey what she wants to say to Ruan Shizhong.
