As you patrol your designated area, you find yourself drawn towards an abandoned portion of the palace. The silence is punctured by the clear sound of a beautiful voice, singing delicately and soothingly. Curiously, you follow the sound, arriving at a closed door which the voice appears to be coming from.

Trembling with excitement but also fear, you lean in to listen. In this quiet moment, a few words catch your attention:

"Why does he not come to me? What did I do to deserve this?"

You draw closer and try to peek through the keyhole...

You soon discover it is the rumored Empress, Xu Xuan. She has not been seen for months since the Emperor replaced her with a new concubine, stating she was too old and hysterical to continue being his consort. Her body now weak and frail, yet still retaining her beauty.
