Episode 5 - The revenge of Mei Lin - Slaying the culprit of Qingzhoun massacre.Prince Jing softly whispers : « Undying ».As he proudly contemplates the little bottle of « red coix seeds potion» he managed to snatch from the persistent Luo Mei. Suddenly, Qin Yan, his bodyguard, shouts : « Zhang Yin went to Wenhua pavilion, so did Mei Lin. »No time to spare, Prince Jing immediately mounts his horse and rides in the dark night.In the lugubrious Wenhua palace, War Minister Zhang Yin is thoughtful. Tonight’s operation must be successful. He has had enough problems with Prince Jing in the past. Since the end of the battle of Qingzhou, when the latter dismissed him from his position, he has arbored resentment ever since. Thinking about it, the Crown Prince scolded him when he lost the assassin he sent to kill Prince Jing. He cannot afford another set back.Crown Prince : « The man you sent to kill her is now under Prince Jing’s control. The only option now is to loose something to survive. You can’t keep any of those Momai warriors. »Zhang Yin opposes : « Your Highness. »But he suddenly remembers the imperial flogging ceremony. When the Crown Prince belittled him saying : : « Minister Zhang it is not time to celebrate yet. Once a dead piece becomes a living one, it indicates that she has become useful in another way …It’s nothing strange that Xiyan beauty can’t take the repeated punishment. Prince Jing wants to save her. I want to kill her. »War Minister Zhang then realizes that, he should better stay silent and suffer the humiliation, once more.Crown Prince : « Minister Zhang, I kept the second-rank official position for you. Why leave the others an opportunity to use those warriors against you? The battle in the court is a battle of public opinion. The method must be able to withstand public scrutiny.If the Momai warrior are discovered. At most, I will be accused of misjudging my subordinates. But you, you committed arson in Qingzhou, and attempted to assassinate a Prince. Each is a capital offense punishable by the execution of all your clans. It’s for you own Good. Make a quick decision. »Zhang Yin: « Thank you for reminding me your Highness. »Yes, he plotted the Qingzhou massacre. But now that the situation is tense, His Highness wants to let him defenceless. He's been used and dropped ? No way!After Miss Mei left promising to help him flee the city via the black market, 9 of the remaining Momai Warriors, all dressed in black, kneel before him.Zhang Yin : « Prince Jing has discovered us. If the Qingzhou case is re-opened we will die. Everyone, abort the mission and go into hiding among the civilians. »Momai Warriors : « yes. »Wang Qang is lurking in the shadows : «Tonight, No-one must be left alive at Wenhua pavilion. »He then lets, black dressed eastern palace guards armed with bows and arrows, enter the premises.Looking at War Minister Zhang from behind a pillard.Mei Lin whispers : « So you are the true culprit of Qingzhou massacre. »This is when the eastern palace guards launch a burning arrows strike.The Momai warriors are set on fire like human torches.Mei Lin recognises : « Phosphorus coated garment. Who did this? »On impulse, Mei lin twirls a dagger, and jumps at War Minister Zhang from the 2nd floor.Mei lin stabbs Zhang Yin by the heart against a wooden door.Adrenalin is rushing through her body while she stabbs and subdues the culprit of Qingzhou great arson. The souls of the dead may rest in peace. As, the place is falling apart in flams. Minister Zhang takes advantage of the situation to escape through a secret passage.Mei Lin looks at the bookshelf, she spots the « red cox seeds potion » boxe and have it.A bookshelf falls over her. The pavilion is ablaze. Mei Lin is trapped under the « year of the goat » bookshelf.Is it her destiny? Is she a scapegoat about to be burnt, like the inhabitants of Qingzhou were? Absolutely not, she must live.She painfully pushes, and extracts herself crawling with great difficulty.She stands up, nearly walks, a burning beam falls over her and propels her into the burning emptiness. Luckily, Prince Jing is down there, on horse back. He catches her, as a grey veil falls over them, safeguarding his forbidden attraction for Mei Lin. Prince Jing glares at her silently as Mei Lin looses consciousness.Somewhere else, in Wenhua pavilion, Miss Mei gets burnt on the right arm, meanwhile she is fleeing.At Zhanyue pavilion, Prince Jing aims at Mei Lin with his crossbow and slowly goes at her. He has to kill her. After suffering the bittings and sniffing of the hallucinating Mei Lin. She told him she found the Master of shadow works. He cannot let her recognize him and spoil his plan.Mei Lin : « I’ve got the « red coix seeds potion », you can’t make me kill anymore. I am not your killing machine. ( she continues ) You took advantage of the grudges in Qingzhou to kill innocent people. General Weibei was wronged. He shouldn’t die. The one who should die is you, the Master of shadow works. »Prince Jing understands that she is still hallucinating and lowers his weapon.Checking out if she sees his moving hand before her face. Mei Lin unexpectedly grabs Prince Jing’s arm and bites him forcefully. Prince Jing silently jumps to avoid screaming.Mei Lin : « Does it hurt? (She giggles). You can’t feel pain in shadow works. You turned me into a killing machine. The first lesson in shadow works is : taking a beating. Which will never stop. It won’t stop. It won’t stop until you die in pain. Or no longer cry in pain. »Mei Lin starts crying at the memories of the pain she felt becomes more and more vivid.Prince Jing looks at her painfully. He feels compassion seeing her in such a tourment.Mei Lin’s hallucination continues. Now, she is at a picnic with her father and her mother in a foggy glade. She joyfully promises to her parent that, after the Weibei army enters the city. Mother will open a fruit cake store and father will do stonework .Prince Jing glares at her curious then softened, before leaving.As he walks out and sees « Undying Flowers ».
