Inner Palace Flower Garden Villa
The Inner Palace Flower Garden Villa was a villa located in the garden of the Forbidden City, Beijing.
History
In 1530, the Chinese Assassin Shao Jun traveled to the villa after receiving a letter from Empress Zhang Qijie, whom she knew as "Qixie" in her youth. Entering the villa, she found Qixie but she also spotted Eight Tiger member and Templar Qiu Ju behind her. Setting a trap for Shao Jun, Qiu Ju pushed the empress down and fought against Jun. With the upper hand, Qiu Ju almost killed Shao Jun but was stopped by a vase to the head by the empress. Slapping the empress down, Qiu Ju was then strangled by Jun but threw her off. Shao Jun immediately tossed a lantern onto Qiu Ju, who was set aflame along with the villa.[1]
Trying to escape with the empress, Shao Jun was stopped by a semi-burnt Qiu Ju. Realizing he was too strong, Shao Jun managed to use the villa's collapsing structure and pulled down a ceiling light on top of Qiu Ju. Still alive, Qiu Ju grabbed Shao Jun's leg but was ultimately killed by the falling debris. Before the villa collapsed, Shao Jun and the empress escaped the fiery mess.[2]
Behind the scenes
The fight depicted in the comic differs from the events of Qiu Ju's demise from the game, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China.
