Yu presents a silk fan to each palace beauty  but gives Ki special gifts,  which makes Ning  jealous.  Ning sets Ki up to swap Shun and Ying's medications to prevent them from recovering. Ki gets  arrested and Shun feels sorry for her.

Yeung  hints to Shun that he knows about her tricks and persuades her to stop playing games.

Episode 7 (August 31)

Song is furious when he discovers that Mo has used his money to bribe official Cho Chun-nam for a post.

Yeung receives expensive gifts from Ying but Wah suggests  that he return them to avoid gossip.  Shun learns from Yeung that Ki has died in exile and bursts into tears. Suffering from hallucinations, Ning suspects that the incense burner which Ying gave her is the source of her troubles. She reprimands Ying.

Yu accuses Ying of using the wrong fan and not showing respect. Ying cries  and Yu immediately comforts her, but with  a secret agenda in mind.

As a reward for his bravery, he is given an imperial post. But he becomes arrogant in front of

Yeung.

by the emperor ever since she became ill.  Sin is finding it  difficult to raise money  to help her sick grandmother.

Mo buys  silk handkerchiefs that Sin smuggles out of the palace.

He suspects that she was the one who left the handkerchief in the

pile of clothes in the earlier

incident.
