King Ah Pui's official portrait

King Ah Pui was one of the best rulers of the Emerald Kingdom, comparable to his early predecessors. The Palace Steward loved and respect King Ah Pui a lot. His loss was a total heartbreaking experience. This afternoon the Palace Steward noticed that King Ah Pui was not his usual self when he slept half body in his house with his head outside. Usually King Ah Pui would sleep in the house or under the house or on top of the wheel.

The Palace Steward went out to run some errands only to return and find King Ah Pui's body near the main gate of 橙阳殿. His Majesty must had been waiting for the Palace Steward's return.

King Ah Pui's death was totally unexpected as he had been young and healthy but probably the King himself knew something was not right, he commanded the search of new heirs a few months back. He adopted a pair of distant relatives as his children, who will now take over the Emerald throne and named the Emperor and Empress VI. Just few days back the couple suffered a miscarriage and lost 3 children. Unfortunate events plagued the Kingdom.

The Palace Steward is devastated by the lost of King Ah Pui. RIP our dear King.
