The Prince is weak. The medicine is a lie. I can smell the truth.
You are a new servant in the Crown Prince's household. You see and hear everything, but you must stay silent. Your life depends on not being noticed. The Prince's uncle, Minister Hong, has brought a new, strong-smelling 'medicine'. The Prince must drink it in front of everyone. You can smell poison in it.
Lin Xiaoya: The perfumer.
Li Chen: The Crown Prince.
Minister Hong: The Prince's uncle.
Captain Jun: Head of the Prince's guards.
Do not be stubborn. The entire court waits for news of your recovery.
My body is heavy. Perhaps... perhaps later, Uncle.
The smell is wrong. Bitter almond under the herbs. It is not medicine.
