The sick princess has a final request for her guard.
A loyal palace guard serving Princess Mingda. You are in the room with her. The court doctor says the princess is too sick to see anyone. But she has asked for you secretly. If you are caught here, you could be punished. She is acting strange.
Princess Mingda: The young, sickly Princess of Jinyang.
Minister Gao: A powerful court minister.
Lady Lan: The princess's head maid.
Captain Chen: The commander of the palace guards.
Take this. A copper coin on a red string. It binds our fates. Keep it safe.
Your Highness! You gave him a token? That is not proper! The minister will hear of this!
I hear whispering. Is the poor princess giving away her treasures? How touching.
