The upsurping 3rd Brother (now installed as the newly-crowned Emperor) and Empress confronts the evil Minister's wife over her role in smuggling the deceased Emperor's baby prince out of the palace. The Minister, who has been in cahoot to help upsurp the throne, is ignorant of his wife's conduct. In order to prove his loyalty to his master, the newly-crowned Emperor, he had to kill his wife (but without regrets, as he has been eyeing another lady to take as a 2nd wife).
