Prince Jai : [upon discovering the Black Fungus] Mother was taken ill yesterday. Was it because of this?
Empress Phoenix : [nods head]
Prince Jai : Why is Father doing this to you?
Empress Phoenix : Jai, after the Chrysanthemum Festival, I shall tell you the whole truth.
[turns away]
Empress Phoenix : Each day, in front of your father, I have to feign ignorance. Every two hours, I swallow this poison without protest. Nobody knows what is happening. I shall die exactly as your father intends. A half-wit. But I refuse to submit without a fight. On the night of the Festival, I shall put an end to all this.
Prince Jai : Do my brothers know?
Empress Phoenix : No.
Prince Jai : If I had not returned, would Mother have gone ahead?
Empress Phoenix : Yes.
Prince Jai : Then why did you tell me?
Empress Phoenix : Because I want you to be Emperor.
Prince Jai : Are you going to kill Father?
Empress Phoenix : I shall force him to abdicate, but it is not my intention to kill him.
Prince Jai : Mother, a son cannot stand in rebellion against his father! Whatever the circumstances, he is still my father and my Emperor.
