Ju Gei has a premature birth. Ying Jing takes away the baby, which had just left it's mother's body. He immediately starts to strangle it. Jiu Gou, who was nearby, couldn't bear to witness this. Ju Gei arrives to beseech Ying Jing to spare the child's life. Ying Jing then places the baby in front of Ju Gei and Lou Oi. Seeing that her son was dead, she started to cry. Lou Oi angrily takes him hostage and returns back to Dai Jeng Gung. Lou Oi then tries to kill Ying Jing. Jiu Gou tries to protect him and the two then jumps off a cliff. While on the way back to the Chun state, Siu Lung felt uneasy. When he walked in front of a metal mirror, he was surprised to see his reflection was very blurry. Lou Oi hands over to Ju Gei their real son and she was very happy. He had already known what Ying Jing was planning to do and had switched the baby beforehand. Bat Wai hears that Ying Jing had escorted Ju Gei back to Dai Jeng Gung but had not returned from there. He goes over to Dai Jeng Gung to see for himself. Bat Wai sees that Ying Jing and Ju Gei's relationship had improved for the better. What made him angry was that Ying Jing was treating him like he wanted Bai Wai to leave. Lou Oi finds the bodies of Ying Jing and Jiu Gou, along with the imperial seal. He was very pleased with this development. The fake Ying Jing wanted to reward Lou Oi with three thousand food citystates. Bat Wai objects but is very angry when his objections are of no use. Siu Lung gives the Gam Ji Ling to Sin Yau and tells her to be the next leader of the Mak Ji clan. Kam Ching finds out that Siu Lung had safely returned and practically flies over to meet with him. She is surprised to see that Siu Lung and Ting Fong were acting very close with one another. Siu Lung looks at the two women and feels very confused. Kam Ching has a friendly talk with Ting Fong, which caused the jealousy in Ting Fong's heart to disappear. Siu Lung then tries to talk with the two but fails to grasp the main points which caused him much vexing. He also wonders why the two women weren't acting or making any jealous gestures. Siu Lung is called into the palace by the king. When he was changing, he was surprised to see Ying Jing concealed in the room. He tells Siu Lung about Lou Oi's attempt to kill him and that the person in the palace is a fake king. Ying Jing adds that Siu Lung shouldn't go into the palace. At this moment, Ging Jun arrives to report that Kam Ching had been imprisoned by the king. Siu Lung was very surprised and his face lost it's color. |
