Kill Me Love Me Episode 8 Recap
> Kill Me Love Me Recap
Faced with Yin Luomei's questioning, Mei Lin responded that she had infiltrated the marriage envoy to assassinate Murong Jinghe in order to avenge Qingzhou. At that moment, Yue Qin arrived, offering to help Yin Luomei investigate the case, though his real intention was to assist Mei Lin in escaping. However, Yin Luomei confirmed that Mei Lin was not a spy from Xi Yan but more likely a surviving orphan from Qingzhou.
Still, because Mei Lin's martial skills were so advanced, further investigation was necessary. Murong Jinghe, standing in the shadows, overheard Yin Luomei’s words and finally understood why the Eastern Palace had been so quiet recently—they planned to use Yin Luomei to deal with him. Since Mei Lin had hidden her identity well, Murong Jinghe wasn’t worried about Yin Luomei uncovering anything. For now, he just needed to follow the trail of Shumo to find Zhang Yin.
Given Yue Qin’s kindness to Mei Lin and his close bond with the emperor, Murong Jinghe didn’t order Shumo’s capture. Instead, he moved into Honglu Temple under the pretense of supervising Mei Lin as she repaired the embroidery, living alongside her. Meanwhile, Mei Lin, Yue Qin, and Princess Zi Gu were drinking together. Zi Gu, tipsy, tried to matchmake Mei Lin, but Mei Lin didn’t respond directly. Shumo hurriedly arrived to urge Zi Gu to return to the palace.
Zi Gu, anxious that her brother hadn’t confessed his feelings to Mei Lin, was frustrated, while Yue Qin believed that matters of the heart should be mutual. Back in her room, Shumo applied medicine to the wound on her arm, thinking that if there was a way to help Zhang Yin escape, then there was also a way to help Mei Lin leave.
She informed Murong Jinghe that she had obtained a travel pass through the black market for Xi Yan. She explained that on the night of Shangsi, the plan would be finalized, and Mei Lin could be escorted out of Zhaojing. Early the next morning, Murong Jinghe forcefully moved into Honglu Temple. Mei Lin guessed that Murong Jinghe had made new progress in his investigation, but he didn’t reveal anything.
Crown Prince Murong Xuanlie sent the imperial guards to monitor the embroidery room, so Murong Jinghe had no choice but to share a bed with Mei Lin. Mei Lin soon discovered Murong Jinghe had many sleep habits and often suffered from insomnia due to living in constant danger. To help him sleep peacefully, Mei Lin knocked him out and stayed by his bedside all night, watching over him until he woke up.
Murong Jinghe was somewhat annoyed when he realized Mei Lin had knocked him unconscious. Just as he was about to scold her, he accidentally discovered that Mei Lin had lost her sense of taste. Mei Lin admitted that after the great fire in Qingzhou, she had completely lost her ability to taste. Qing Yan then reported to Murong Jinghe that Shumo planned to meet Zhang Yin during the Shangsi Festival.
Murong Jinghe instructed Qing Yan to find a remedy for restoring taste. At the same time, Princess Zi Gu was pulled by the imperial consort to practice court etiquette. She tried to sneak away and hide behind the rockery, discussing how unfathomable the Yan Emperor was, unaware that Murong Qian was standing not far away. Yin Luomei personally visited the palace to meet her aunt, who was now an imperial consort.
The imperial consort knew that Yin Luomei had feelings for Murong Jinghe, but it was obvious to everyone that Murong Xuanlie had feelings for Yin Luomei. Murong Xuanlie took the initiative to find Yin Luomei, inviting her to watch the fire dragon during the Shangsi Festival and pray for the soldiers of the Yan Empire. Yin Luomei had no choice but to agree.
On the night of the Shangsi Festival, Mei Lin and Murong Jinghe pretended to be a loving couple, interacting sweetly and playfully. Qing Yan tailed Shumo and had someone notify Murong Jinghe. When Murong Jinghe brought Mei Lin along, they happened to run into Murong Xuanlie and Yin Luomei. Seeing Mei Lin by Murong Jinghe’s side made Yin Luomei uncomfortable, so she quickly left with Murong Xuanlie. Suddenly, Mei Lin smelled a faint scent of sulfur.
When she turned around, she saw a suspicious-looking man who quickly slipped into the Qingyin Pavilion. Murong Jinghe and Mei Lin followed and entered the room opposite Qingyin Pavilion to observe in secret. Shumo, having not yet seen Zhang Yin, immediately went upstairs, unaware that Yue Qin was trailing her. Mei Lin, who was standing on the second floor, witnessed this scene and wondered why Yue Qin was there.
