Episode 3

(Silence fills the hall.......................................)

Emperor: Cough cough... did i hear u right? u

wanna go to the border with the second prince?!

Ying Yue: Yes your majesty, i know that it's absurd, that i shouldn't meddle with the state affairs but all i wish to do is remove some of the burdens from your shoulder..after all i will also be one of the Northern empire's people some day. Please grant me your permission.

Emperor: But, I don't see any reason to send you out to danger...u should be aware if something were to happen to u while you're in our empire we won't be able to explain it to your family, sigh...

Ying Yue: I understand your concerns your majesty, even though i have little experience in medical field the pandemic at the border is similar to what happened in our empire during the war. During the war between the Southern empire and the mercenaries of the Eastern empire many men had to loose their life as the dead bodies were not handled properly many people got infected due to an unknown disease. It's written in the Southern empire's history that

as more than half of the soldiers were infected our empire had to face the biggest calamity. As the princess of Southern empire, I will be responsible for my own actions. My teacher was always researching to find the antidote, he wanted to remove the fear of being infected from people's heart even though he's no longer with us anymore ...in his last day he handed me over his years of research. As a disciple of my great teacher i want to be the one to finish this fear from people's heart...I wanna be the one to fulfill my master's dream your majesty.

(Silence fills the hall once again...)

(After a few second people start to whisper and admire the princess of Southern empire.

Without anyone noticing a man sitting in the one of the princes desk gives a slight chuckle)

Prime minister: Silence everybody, Your majesty why don't we give the princess a chance after all our empire's doctor are not familiar with this unknown pandemic ..it might be better to let the

the princess who is a lot more knowledgeable to handle this matter. As a matter of fact the princess herself is ready to bear the consequence of her own words why not just agree your majesty.

Emperor: Hmmmmm...(thinking)

Emperor: The princess of Southern empire Ying Yue since u are ready to face the danger to protect the people... I as the emperor of Northern empire give u the permission to leave for the borders and right to control the doctors as the head of doctor. As the one and only disciple of the great immortal Du Ge i believe in your capability and determination.

Ying Yue: I thank you your imperial majesty. I won't disappoint your majesty's and master's faith in me.

(All the people get excited to start the rumour about the things that happened in the morning court and leave one by one )

After everyone leaves the court only the emperor and his trusted eunuch are left on the court, the eunuch was wondering what the emperor was doing sending a princess to the border and asks;

Eunuch: Your majesty, can i ask why u would trust that little princess so much as to make her the head of the doctor and leave for the border?!

Emperor: sigh... It's not that i favor the princess and let her do as she wished...but because of her master that i.......

Eunuch: ....??( Doesn't know what the emperor is talking about)

(At the princess chamber)

Ying Yue finally returns to her chamber, when she's about to sit on the bed a 'knock knock' comes from the door;

Ying Yue: what is it, xinxin?

Xinxin: Your highness, the crown prince (Prince Ming) is here for some important matters.

Ying Yue: Wait for a few second i will be there shortly , until then serve him tea and cookies.
