Mister Ni and Ni Sheng are shocking to hear her harsh word toward Ni Qing. This is the first time that she can say something about Ni Qing.

"Mother, can you lower your voice? Everyone can hear your wrong accusation toward sister Qing. We rushed back for sister Lang burial and Sister Qing needs to discuss some war strategy with the Emperor. Can you just take rest and come again when your mind and body refresh mother?" Ni Sheng is giving her a scold. He can see his second sister relation with the emperor, and it is exactly as her mother word, but this is not the right time for her to talk about it.

Mister Ni forces his wife to retreat to their side room for resting and leaves the hall to Ni Sheng. He can see that she is upset with the fate for their daughter. Ni Sheng asks his mother maid to make a calming concoction for his mother. At least, it will make her into a deep slumber.

The morning dew starts to drip down from the leaves. There is the sound of bird tries to start the day. The fogs start to ease up by the sun light who is piercing through the clear sky. Jin Yu manages to catch up a little sleep next to his wife earlier after pulling all nightery for all the work during his absentee.

The Prime Minister enter his study pass midnight to discuss about Lord Chu matter. The Prime minister already aware about his power greed and he got the backing from the empress dowager, even though she is not inside the palace anymore. However, they can not pin him down with anything as everyone scare with his position as the emperor father in-law. Jin Yu promises to think something, but he wants Prime Minister to withdraw some of important job sign from Lord Chu, include the capital gate guard.

Jin Yu wants Ni Sheng to oversee the post for the gate into capital city and he also let the prime minister about his marriage and his new royal consort to replace the empress. He informs the prime minister about the plan, but he also asks him to keep in secret before he announces it inside the court. He already issues his royal decrees to the minister of rites before the empress pass away. The prime minister makes sure to take care everything on behalf of The emperor.

Ni Qing is opening her eyes to snuggle into his shoulder. She loves his well-build body muscle as he does not seem to exercise. Ni Qing think about his strength on the bed every time, he looks like a warrior who have never ending strength. Jin Yu still sleeping next to her and she can see a black line under his eyes. His long black hair falls down on the pillows while he sleeps so soundly. Suddenly, his arm pulling her tighter to his naked chest. She stole a peck of kiss from his thin lips before he rolls his body on top of her before pulverizing every corner of her pink lips.

"hmmmmmm…" NI Qing tries to stop him and push his body.

"Why?" he asks her with his hoarse voice.

"I am here to be with my deceases sister…"

"who is more important for you to be with your emperor or your deceases sister?" Jin Yu tries to look deeply into her eyes.

"Please do not play the emperor card, my dear husband… you know that no one know about our marriage and I am still a single woman. We cannot fool around even though you are not touching my sister, but you are her legally wed husband. You need to be present with your mourning robe," Ni Qing is informing her while putting her arm into his neck.

"No… you are wrong… if any of the wife death inside the Palace, I am not behoving to mourn for any of my wife. That is the rule of the palace and I am not allowed to use the mourning robe unless it is for the emperor death," Jin Yu explains the palace rule to her.

"It means if I die before you then you will dispose my corpse and replace me with some other woman?" Ni Qing asks him with her harsh word.

"I will not allow you to go before me and leave me alone in this world. I will chase you back to this world and keep you inside this bed with me until we grow old together. You are bound together with me… Remember that!" he flicked his finger to her forehead.

"Why you flicked me?" she is rubbing her red forehead before Jin Yu is kissing it.

"You can not go anywhere without me. I already mark you with my ring and you are belonging only to me," Jin Yu is looking at him so lovingly. He is so happy to sleep with her and find her every morning. It makes his life complete.

"Your highness… are you waking up? yyour morning court will start soon and you will not have time for breakfast," Eunuch Wang is asking him from outside the chamber door. He knows his master spend the night with his new wife. As soon as he hears his loyal servant, Jin Yu faces look not happy. He drops his body on top of her before burying his face into the valley of her neck and suck it out.

"hoiiiii… do not make any obvious mark on my neck… My mother will kill me if she sees it. She does not want me to marry as consort, even when my father accepts General Lin Proposal for me, she was really angry and want Lin Yue for sister Lang…" Ni Qing to explain her family condition.

"If I know that Lord Ni is having two daughters, I will swap you with Lang. she can marry General Lin Yue," Jin Yu is telling her before he wakes up and tells Eunuch Wang to come in.
