Though HEI and PING meet again, they dare not to do anything go beyond propriety. TAO advises the imperial daughter to practice acupuncture for SHIU. Consequently, SHUI awakes. Later, TAO tells SHIU everything. SHIU begs TAO bring her to see HEI. SHIU is moved when she sees HEI worshipping at her tomb. AU wants to find someone replace MING' s post. HEI is reluctant to see that his uncle, TUNG, replaces MING especially when TUNG has just arrived the capital. MING then becomes TUNG's assistant. KAO and TSUEN are secret lovers. They believe that AU could help them to get rid of any troubles. PING backs to Fujian. She deliberately gets close to CHUNG. She even bought some gift for him. CHUNG and PING have eventually got married.
