Emperor Ru: Will this miserable day never end...

Empress Meiling: My husband, what is wrong? The physician told me to come to you right away, What has happened and why are you dressed like this? No wonder you are so cold!
Emperor Ru: It is much the same today as it was yesterday and the day before. Morning Court sessions are becoming more and more intolerable every day. And as for the physician? Well the old fool babbled on and on as always and made this vile tea that will most likely kill me before it cures me.

Empress Meiling: Then stop being emperor for just a few moments. Be my husband and let me sit with you. And remember, whatever happens I will always be by your side.
Emperor Ru: Mei-Mei why is it that after all these years, you are still the only one that truly understands me.
