I am sad to say, in ep. 19 is the episode where The Chief Bureau will leave the palace *sigh*
Starting Off: The Chief Bureau was granted to leave the palace.
=========
Michelle's and Susanna's Quarrel ----> The Chief Bureau Set Up Do you know why Susanna and Michelle always fight with each other?? It started when the palace allowed the leave of specific maids from the palace. Susanna was first selected to leave the palace but then after eating some peanuts (she's allergic to them), she got a rash and was disqualified!! Michelle was selected to replace Susanna but then she was framed for (something I can't remember) and was also disqualified!!!
Michelle thought that Susanna set her up! And Susanna also thought that Michelle set her up!! That's how their friendship ended! Yup! That was the end :(
=============
Back to the set-ups. The Chief Bureau was actually the ONE who set both of them up!!!!! She wanted them to stay to help her out and that's what she did to make them stay. When they found out, of course they (Susanna&Michelle) were furious! They went and report it to the empress and not allow the Chief Bureau to leave the palace!
After, they found out that she had lung disease and wouldn't live long. Charmaine then pleaded to the empress to let The Chief Bureau to leave cause she's gonna die soon. The Empress then granted but she (the Chief Bureau) was not allowed to take any money, jewelery etc. with her :/
Thoughts:
The Chief Bureau: From the start, I thought that she was always this kind person but to the part that they say Kara Hui was her niece, I saw the 'other' side of her. Still, I wouldn't say I dislike her. The part where she began to cry to Kara and telling her all kinds of stuff, I could see the reason why she wanted Susanna and Michelle to stay.
The Palace isn't an easy to place to escape and to maintain alive in there, she needed them. It might of been selfish, but I don't think it was totally wrong.
Susanna and Michelle: The 2 sisters finally found out the truth after all these years. I was so happy that they stopped their quarrels and began to be sisters again!! (not for long though)

Tavia&Charmaine ||||| Michelle&Susanna
As far as I've seen the series, I think Tavia and Charmaine resembles Susanna and Michelle.
-Tavia is like Michelle.
-Charmaine is like Susanna.
I'm gonna be posting something about these sisters (comparing them) after I finish the series^^
