(Scene 4: KINGS THRONE ROOM) ( Wraith song) Kangxi: ( throw the a cage with a bird) This is the bird that ate the Crown Prince’s breakfast today. It was a great luck that the Crown Prince skip his meal because he was not hungry. Why is there no response? Catch the person who tried to kill the Crown prince. Empress Dowager Yoo: Why is it needed? He isn’t the right one to be the Crown Prince. A Crown Prince should grow up in this peaceful palace not into a dirty scary forest Afterall theres no one who have trained him there in martial arts so I suppose he cant fight as good as the princesses. So I suggest you depose the 1st prince as Crown Prince. Emperor kangxi:Do you all agree with her? All Princes:( only silence and glances) Emperor kangxi: Speak up. Who among you will suit the position if not the current Crown Prince? Yin Zhi: ( KNEEL) Please withdraw those words. Your Majesty. There is no one among us who wishes to become the crown prince. Yinxiang: (KNEEL ALSO) That is true your Majesty. Please withdraw your words.

( Yinti hurriedly kneel) All Princes: Please withdraw your words, Your Majesty! Emperor Kangxi: It has been 24 years since this land has been founded. The 1st prince Yinzhen fought with me in many wars. He laid the foundation for this nation. Empress Dowager Yoo, during this spiritual ritual.. Prepare for it with great detail! Empress Dowager: Yes! Your Majesty (The Emperor exit and followed by the Princes) (SCENE 5 :Empress Dowager Yoo Room) ( Agonal howl song) Princess Hwangbo: The crown prince are lucky to be alive Empress Dowager Yoo: We have only made him more aware and vigilant now Princess Hwangbo: Forgive me for my rudeness my queen but I heard some rumor in the capital that you’re the one who made the 1st prince face ugly. Is it true? Empress Dowager: ( cough) (FLASHBACK ( Vendetta song) Empress Dowager: What do you mean, wife? Empress Dowager: Your majesty! Emperor Kangxi :Move

Empress Dowager: I will die. Our first born son has died. How can you get married? How can you marry at a time like this? Emperor Kangxi :Qing is in danger. This marriage is the way to deflect that danger. Empress Dowager: Before you are a ruler, you are the father of my children. Are you not sad? Does your heart not feel torn? Don’t you wish you could die and bring back your child? Emperor Kangxi :There are lives at stake Empress Dowager: King. ( grab the young prince and kneel) If that is all you care about, why should we bother living anymore? Young prince: Mother. Empress Dowager : Grab a small knife and point it to the young prince) do you choose to marry or do you choose your son? Is it Qing or your sons life? Emperor Kangxi :Put down that knife. You cannot stop my marriage by doing this Empress Dowager: You really are something. You really are. If I do not have your whole heart, I do not need it. ( try to plunged the knife) Emperor Kangxi: ( hurriedly grab the hand and sway but it accidentally hit the young prince face)

Hearing you call me ‘’mother’’ makes my skin crawl. I do not wish to see you, so go. Go now! Yinzhen: I have always been curious. Why doesn’t my Mother feel pity for me? If you were my mother you would care for me. So why doesn’t my mother ever look back at me? I waited so desparately for it. Empress dowager: You are not my son. You are the son of the Zhao in Chengdu Yinzhen: ( backward)

Yinzhen: It is my face isn’t it? You sent me to be adopted .And you continues to turn your back on me. Its because all of this face! Yinzhen: ( THROWS EVERYTHING) Empress dowager: ( shock) Yinzhen: Do you know how my life with the Zhao. Once they threw me into the biggest wolves den in Chengdu.
