A series of footsteps could suddenly be heard from the outside and a loud shrill sounded, "Emperor... Emperor... things are bad..."
The two brothers were startled. They could hear that this voice belonged to Yu ManLou's wife, the current empress! Just what would happen to make the usually steady empress so flustered?
With a loud bang, the door was flung open and a middle-aged woman dashed in with a gust of wind trailing behind her. With her speed, it is obvious that her martial arts weren't weak either.
"Emperor... the eunuchs and maids are revolting!"
"What?" Yu ManLou's body shook. How can this be possible? A bunch eunuchs and weak palace maids know how to revolt? It was both impossible and illogical!
Before Yu ManLou could even ask what was going on, he heard a commotion from the outside. In the imperial palace, a couple of places were smoking and on fire. Miserable shrieks, quarreling, and fighting could be heard all around.
