The Flower Rain City is the only city in the empire where women are allowed to govern, and the only place ruled by women. The two women try to calm each other down, but they are interrupted by the monk, who tells them that Miss Qin is a traitor, and that she asked him to steal the root from the pavilion. The monk says that he is also poisoned by the prince, meaning that half of the city's leaders are under the prince's control. He asks the two women to tell him what exactly they planned to do, and they reply that they were only trying to irritate the prince.
