[Peacock in Wonderland]

[Episode 8]

Holy Envoy,

what have you been busy with lately?

Master,

I've been investigating the conditions of the people

and helping them out in the city.

Really?

Then why did someone report

that you and Li Muyang, Minister of Rites, are having an illicit sexual relationship?

What?

What illicit?

What?

It's said that they slept together

and that they were inseparable.

They even used lecherous magic.

What lecherous magic?

Don't make false accusations.

This concerns the reputation of the Peacock City-State.

It is a big deal.

Even if it was not the Holy Envoy

but an ordinary ordinary woman,

you can't just slander others.

You slander the Holy Envoy

without any evidence.

What's your agenda?

Of course I have evidence.

They are using the magic of Red-tailed Bugs.

As long as they plant the Red-tailed Bugs together,

they can feel the same thing at the same time.

It's often used to enhance the pleasure between the sheets.

Once they plant the Red-tailed Bugs,

their lives will be connected.

Three meters away,

they'll feel an intolerable heartache.

If the distance between them exceeds 10 meters,

they will drop dead.

If you claim you're wronged,

can you take a few steps forward?

You're just talking nonsense.

Why should I do that for you?

It concerns the reputation of our sect.

Please prove your innocence, Holy Envoy.

Master,

it's not a big deal that I'm humiliated.

But the Holy Envoy has a high status.

She's respected by all.

If the Holy Envoy has to prove her innocence herself

for such a ridiculous rumor,

then, while there are so many rumors in the world,

does the Holy Envoy need

to clarify them one by one?

The Holy Envoy should be a model for everyone.

If she can't be perfect,

it means she's unqualified.

If you dare not take a few steps,

then you must be afraid of being found out.

Holy Envoy.

Master!

Minister Li.

Please.

Holy Envoy.

Please.

Why did she slap him?

No way.

Why not?

Not only can I walk a few steps,

I can sprint 100 meters.

Today,

The distance between Muyang and I

exceeded three meters several times,

but I didn't feel any pain.

Master,

I've been indeed having close contact with Lord Li lately.

But that is all because someone tried to kill me.

To save my life,

I had no choice but to be with Lord Li.

And the person who tried to hurt me

was from the Peacock Sect.

What evidence do you have?

-I have plenty of evidence. -Master.

What the Holy Envoy said is all true.

I have found it all out.

There is a way to identify

the real mastermind behind it.

On the day the Holy Envoy was assassinated,

I smeared the pollen of the Qinsha Flower

on the assassin's body.

In this way,

When the assassin went back to meet the person behind it,

he will surely pass the pollen on to that person.

The pollen is colorless and odorless,

but it's extremely hard to remove.

It can also attract the Qinsha Gnats, which always live with this flower.

If you need evidence,

why don't you ask a servant to catch a couple of the bugs

and have a try?

Approved.

It's really you.

He Huan.

What else can you say?

According to the law,

the person who hired an assassin is as guilty as the assassin.

He should be executed.

Master.

He tried to murder the Holy Envoy

and deceived you.

It is such a heinous crime.

We can't let him off easily.

Master.

He Huan is a member of my sect.

He should be punished by our sect members.

I am incompetent to guide him.

I will remove his duty as the Envoy

and put him in prison.

Do as Chief says.

Master!

I've made up my mind.

Say no more.

Master is wise.

-Master is wise! -Master is wise!

Thank you for speaking up for us just now, Lord Chen.

It's all thanks to you, My Lord.

Oh, right.

This is Lord Chen, Minister of Revenue.

I'm Chen Mo. Greetings, Holy Envoy.

Lord Chen, you're a high official.

I should bow to you.

Holy Envoy, you summoned the rain for the people.

Your benevolence knows no bounds.

You're well worthy of my bow.

Unfortunately,

Master Rong was restrained by the Peacock Sect,

and we failed to bring He Huan to justice.

Holy Envoy, you're wronged this time.

If you have any difficulties in the future,

come to me.

I will give my all to help you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Give his all?

Lord Chen is quite nice.

Although Lord Chen is young,

he's a mainstay of our Peacock City-State.

He is upright and straightforward.

A gentleman.

Holy Envoy.

Lai.

Why did Master Rong summon you?

Did she give you a hard time?

You don't know.

Let me tell you.

He Huan set me and Li up,

but he could never think of the fact

that the connection between me and Lord Li

had been lifted at some moment.

I've battled with him face-to-face

and took him out easily.

Am I not amazing?

When have the Red-tailed Bugs been lifted?

Why didn't we know?

The previous dart.

The poison on that dart has the same origin as the Red-tailed Bugs.

They are also using poison to cultivate poison.

But they didn't expect that

that dart actually lured the Red-tailed Bugs out

from the wound.

We kind of profited from a misfortune.

It's just that the enemy was still behind the scenes,

so we didn't make it known.

What a coincidence.

Even Heaven is helping us.

Lord Li,

when did you put pollen on the assassin?

I didn't.

I just saw there was a sachet

that the Qinsha Gnat liked the most on He Huan,

so I bluffed.

I thought with his personality,

he'd surely give himself away if he was guilty.

As expected,

he gave away with a bluff.

Lord Li,

you are such a smarty-pants.

But this is too easy for He Huan.

Do we really let him off so easily?

Exactly.

Under the checks and balances between the Peacock Sect and Master Rong,

if Ruan Jiushu insists on protecting He Huan,

Master Rong has to compromise.

Luckily,

He Huan has been thrown into the dungeon.

Holy Envoy, you can rest assured now.

He'd better be.

Don't mess with me.

If he dares to mess with me,

I'll teach him a lesson.

-Chief. -Chief.

Senior,

I've sent someone to check.

They were planted the Red-tailed Bugs.

They are indeed connected.

I didn't wrong them.

Did you plant the Red-tailed Bugs?

I asked you to keep an eye on Hua Ni,

but I didn't ask you to make trouble

with such despicable means.

Now you've angered Master Rong.

If I hadn't tried my best to protect you,

how many lives do you think you can afford to lose?

Senior,

I know I was wrong.

Senior,

I don't want to stay here.

Take me out.

It's useless to beg me.

Reflect on yourself.

Senior.

Senior.

[Minghua Hall]

Moqian.

I have to go back to the mansion.

You go on and send the clothes.

Moqian.

Why were you avoiding me?

I was not avoiding you.

You ran away the moment you saw me.

Isn't that avoiding me?

Yu. What is it?

I'm here...

to apologize to you.

That night...

I offended you that night.

But I didn't mean it.

You didn't mean it?

Then what did you mean?

It's useless to talk so much.

I came to you,

hoping you could give me a chance

to make it up to you.

No matter what you want,

I'll give it to you

as long as I have it.

Is that all?

What else do you want?

Forget it.

That night was just an accident.

I have

a well-located shop.

Didn't you always want to open a branch?

Or what about the rare fabric from the Western Regions?

I'll send it all to your Yanxia Shop.

Take it!

Yu.

You can't give me what I want.

I know you have someone in your heart.

And I don't want to force you.

Just think of that night as a dream.

Just forget it.

Moqian.

Let's go.

Why is it so dark?

Young Master, look at the darts on the wall.

Are they...

There's fluorescent powder on these darts.

They can only be seen when it's dark.

They were from the assassin that day.

The darts are so fancy.

Maybe the assassination that day

was not done by the Peacock Sect.

You mean...

I'm afraid it's Flowers Kill.

The Flowers Kill has always used petal showers as their signature.

The darts were shooting around like a petal shower.

And there are patterns of petals on the darts.

Isn't that a special petal shower?

The assassination that night

must have been done by Flowers Kill.

What organization is the Flowers Kill?

When I just came here,

Ruan Jiushu insisted

that I was from Flowers Kill.

I don't understand it.

The Flowers Kill is the No. 1 enemy of the Peacock Sect.

They've been against the Peacock Sect these years.

Rumor has it

that members of Flowers Kill kill people ruthlessly,

act treacherously,

and commit all kinds of evil,

especially the head of Flowers Killer.

He's really terrifying.

Anyone who goes against the Flowers Kill

will die.

That's not right.

He Huan tried to kill me

because I took his position as the Holy Envoy.

Now the Flowers Kill wanted to murder me.

Why is that?

You are the Holy Envoy of the Peacock Sect.

And The Flowers Killing has always been against the Peacock Sect.

The Holy Envoy is naturally their most hated person.

Ever since I became this stupid Holy Envoy,

I didn't get any benefits.

Now, He Huan has left,

but the Flowers Killing is in his wake.

They don't even give me a chance to breathe.

I might as well die.

Are you too tired, Holy Envoy?

Why don't we go out for a trip?

There seems to be a Spring Villa nearby,

which is favored by high-ranking officials.

Are you interested?

Spring?

Does that mean we can take a hot spring bath?

Yes.

Sure we can.

Today is the day, then.

Let's set off tonight.

Go.

I'll pack up.

-We'll set off immediately. -Come on.

Let's go.

Who?

Flowers Kill!

Guards!

Catch the assassin!

How bold!

How dare they do violence in the Master's Mansion!

Chase them!

Yes!

[Yuquan Pavilion]

The darts were painted with the pattern of petals.

Obviously, someone did it on purpose.

Besides, judging from the fight that day,

that person was highly skilled in martial arts and good at using hidden weapons.

He's definitely not some ordinary man working for He Huan.

Who is so shameless

to act in our name?

Over the past few years, Flowers Kill has been in the limelight.

We have many enemies.

There's no way to find out who's framing us.

Chase!

Villains of Flowers Kill,

you are surrounded.

Surrender now!

Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude.

Let's split up.

I'll retreat from the front. You guys go from the back.

Come on. Let's have fun.

We have plenty of time anyway.

Come on.

Love!

Bathing centers are the best.

What's going on?

Search inside.

Yes.

Get out!

Young Master.

Holy Envoy, why are you here?

I'm taking a bath here.

Young Master, are you here to take a bath, too?

I'm here to hunt down the traitor of Flowers Kill.

Did you see anyone suspicious?

I...

Flowers Kill?

That's horrible.

But

I'm here

alone.

There's no one else.

Are you unwell?

No.

The water is too cold, right?

It'll be cold soon.

Ask them to add some water for you.

We let them run away again.

Look around.

Don't miss any trace.

-Yes. -Yes.

Young Master.

Holy Envoy.

The villains of Flowers Kill are right nearby.

How about I leave some people to protect you?

That's…

No need.

Business should come first.

Get back to your work.

Okay, I'll get back to work.

Take care.

Young Master,

don't leave anyone to protect me.

Don't leave even one person.

Young Master!
