WESTERN RONG
THE PALACE
BAI RONG'S LIBRARY
Bai Rong and General Luo were discussing
Bai Rong: ... I want to make sure that Bai Ju is safe and sound, so you'll follow her and her maids to Northern Wei and stay there till the day of their wedding and you should send a letter to me when the wedding date's been fixed
Chih-ming:(secretly holds his fist) Yes, your majesty.
Bai Rong: You could also show her some places you visited in Northern Wei. I'm sure that will make her happy.
Chih-ming: Yes, your majesty.
Bai Rong: And please, always make sure she's safe.
Chih-ming: Yes, your majesty
Bai Rong: You may take your leave.
Chih-ming:Yes, your majesty (bows and exits)
Bai Rong:(sighs) What am I going to do about the poison in her?
...
Bai Ju and Shufen were walking in the palace chatting when Bai Ju sighted General Luo coming out of the library. She quickly walked to him
Bai Ju:(curtseys) Greetings, General Luo (smiles) I came to say thanks for the other day.
Chih-ming: (bows) Your highness, don't mention.
Bai Ju: General Luo, will you like to go to the tea house today?
Chih-ming: No, I have some preparations to make
Bai Ju:(nods) Oh! Okay. Is...
Chih-ming:(bows) Your highness, I'll like to take my leave (exits)
Bai Ju:(scoffs) He's such an ice cube.
Shufen: Princess, do you really need to talk to him?
Bai Ju:(smiles) Maybe not. Shufen, I'll soon be leaving Western Rong and I can't even remember anything about it. How about we move around today.
Shufen: Okay.
Bai Ju: Alone
Shufen: What?
Bai Ju: If the guards follow us, we won't have our freedom
Shufen: Princess, you should know that the guards won't ever back away from following you. It's on the king's order.
Bai Ju (pouts) Let's sneak out then.
Shufen: Huh?
Bai Ju:(winks)
Shufen: I won't follow you
Bai Ju: No problem
Shufen: Wait, what if you get lost
Bai Ju: I won't get lost, you just have to help me...
