HOI is circulating rumors that KING SUEN has been pretended by boy servant TIN-SHUN. Neither QUEEN DOWAGER nor PRINCESS WAN believes the rumors though, judging from how well KING SUEN has been treating them. KWAI plans to do away with SHUN’s mother. On the other hand, YIM has discovered that SHUN’s mother has disappeared, and that the fire records in the palace are nowhere to be found. YIM has failed to change KING SUEN’s mind. Upset, she goes to the woods to have a walk, where she runs into her master, CHI. YIM needs to go outside. She tells WAI to stay and keep an eye on the king. In the meantime, LAI and LORD SHUN YEUNG grasp the opportunity to deal with KING SUEN. Under the arrangement of LORD SHUN YEUNG, SHUN’s mother, who cannot see, has a confrontation with KING SUEN in the palace. KING SUEN has been sent to prison by LORD SHUN YEUNG. CHUN visits him.
