|
Ying
Jing hears that Siu Lung wanted to leave and actively urged him to stay.
Siu Lung points out that Lou Oi has vigorous ambitions and warns Ying
Jing to be careful of his power getting too strong.
Ying Jing
proposes to the Chun king to make the post of the leader of the Imperial
Court Officers to last only three months. Ju Gei feigns having a
nightmare and the fear of being attacked by assassins dressed as palace
guards. She fools the king into revoking the limit for the term of
office of the leader of the Imperial Court Officers.
The Chun king
compliments Kam Ching for instructing Ying Jing in the right way and Ju
Gei proposes that a chastity tablet should be erected for her. Siu Lung
hears this and opposed it intensely. Everyone there was startled by his
reaction.
Siu Lung
persuades Kam Ching to refuse the erecting of an achievement tablet in
order to avoid being unable to marry in the future. Kam Ching takes
advantage of the events to force him to vindicate himself. She points
out that he had already erected a tablet in his heart because of her.
Siu Lung had nothing to answer to that.
Jau Hin uses
the two stars called the Cow Boy and the Weaving Girl to hint to Siu
Lung that he shouldn't be unclear in matters of love. He should dare to
love and hate. Siu Lung seemed to be thinking about something.
Siu Lung tells
Kam Ching that he is from the future. She angrily says that he had
fabricated a lie to refuse her and leaves. Jau Hin listens to Kam Ching
tell about what happened and carefully considers Siu Lung's words and
actions, along with his prophecies. Jiu Hin also felt that he wasn't
lying and decided to do a test.
When Ju Gei and
Lou Oi were together, the Chun king suddenly arrives. Lou Oi hurriedly
goes to hide. The king was suspicious that Ju Gei was with Bat Wai and
Lou Oi decided to let him believe that.
Ju Gei invites
Bat Wai to her rooms and pretended to need his comfort. At this time,
the king suddenly barged into the room and Bat Wai's face lost its
color.
Although he
managed to explain why he was there, the king still was suspicious and
opposed his proposal for fixing the mortar water channel. Bat Wai wasn't
happy and Ju Gei took advantage of it to provoke his anger at the king.
His eyes showed murder.
Bat Wai's
'retreating in order to advance'(1) strategy caused the king to show a
bit of guiltiness in his face. Bat Wai then pretended to be grateful to
the king for drinking with him. When Jau Hin
and Kam Ching were asking Siu Lung about his knowledge of astronomy,
they were surprised to hear that the king was dangerously sick.
