The spirit queen and the spirit queen are on their way to the palace, and the men are shocked to learn that the enchantment of the clan has been broken. The men are amazed that the human army has been able to break through the enchantment and invade the palace. They are also shocked that the royal family has been so cruel to the servants. The servants are shocked at the news, as they were the ones who served in Lady Ling's old palace. Now they are the servants who serve in the royal residence. They tell the royals that because of their carelessness and ignorance, an outsider snuck into the palace and framed up Lady Ling. The royals stood by, and watched Lady Ling be caught in the crossfire. They should not banish the servants, they say, because they know their faults, but they feel that banishing them would be unfair. They also say that they are afraid that if they die without their salary, they will not be able to support their family. They beg the royal not to banish them, but the royal says that they should be allowed to deal with their problems by themselves.
