A piece inspired by a beautiful and historical telling of a devoted Emperor and his consort Yang Yuhuan, that sadly ended in naught
but grief.
For most of their lives, Yang Yuhuan and the Emperor were seen as a loving couple that had a few quarrels here and there, but they always came back loving each other more... no thanks to a rather busy servant of Yang Yuhuan who often finds himself a mediator between their bickering!
However like all empires and their court politics, the presence of power struggles are just as prevalent. Yang Yuhuan's cousin whom the Emperor appointed with lots of promotions was at one point accused by the masses for provoking a rebellion and planning
treason. The people called on the Emperor for the execution of the traitor and his noble house, and that means the Emperor's beloved Yang Yuhuan as well. To reject the masses while a rebellion is on the rise would be suicidal, and the Emperor was forced to utter his orders with agonizing grief.
About a year later when things were mostly settled, the Emperor and a few of his loyal servants went and pick up her crudely buried body, against his advisors wishes, to be laid to rest in a proper
burial. It was said that the Emperor wept bitterly during the entire ordeal.
