Overview

YING manages to get YEUNG’s prescription by threatening to reveal his relationship with SHUN. She hopes that, with the prescription dispensed by YEUNG, she will have the chance to get closer to JIAQING. YEUNG warns her about the side effects of the prescription but YING does not listen to him. MO and SONG have been appointed as troopers whose duty is to climb to the top of a pole and feed the crows around. SONG is obviously very unhappy with this job.

YEUNG brings along with him a pile of color sheets and goes to visit CONCUBINE FOOK who has been dumped by the Emperor because of illness since many years ago……
