In this short scene, the two young men who are in charge of the props prepare for battle. The eldest prince of the Ming family is in danger of being usurped by someone who wants to take over the throne from his father. The young men try to convince the eldest prince that his father is safe, but the prince refuses to believe them. He tells the young men that he has been ordered to leave his father's capital and go to battle on the battlefield. He asks why they care so much for each other, and the prince tells him that they have known each other for a long time, and that they will never be able to finish their discussion. The prince then asks the young man if he is okay, and he says that he is. He then tells the prince that he will try to cheer him up by taking care of his son.
