Inside Yating Court's main hall, a group of royal concubines and noble ladies were waiting nervously.
The main doors remained tightly shut until a guard pushed open the door and entered.

"Prin-Princess, Your Majesty the Queen, the-the crown prince consort, she…"
*Bang!* A loud sound suddenly interrupted the royal guard's response.
Sensing that the sound had come from the beams of the roof, the group of royal concubines and noble ladies who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken started shrieking when they looked up.
*Crack!* A small tile fragment had been stomped through the roof.
