Ye Qingmei was being pursued by the Temple. The reason why the Temple wanted to kill her was that she stole a box from the Temple and took away the Temple's confidential items. Ye Qingmei's actions were seen as a blatant challenge to the Temple's rules, so the Temple decided to hunt her down. The Qing Emperor also played a key role. By transferring away Ye Qingmei's protective personnel, he created an opportunity for her to be killed.
