Ni Qing is laughing and left the emperor alone with his minister in the office. Apparently, Zhang is trying to diffuse the line and the fight with the soldier in front of the kitchen. There is a huge commotion creates by someone who disappears later on.

They do not realise that the commotion distracts Zhang focus so the head of the public kitchen can run away. Zhang manages to calm the commotion, but it is ending up with the runaway head of the public kitchen.

​​

Jin Yu is going out to see the commotion to find the culprit has been run away. He is hitting the wall with his fist to vent his anger. He wants to kill the person who pretends in front of him earlier.

"DO not show off your emotion, your highness…. Pretend there is nothing happening. The wall has ear and eyes, your highness…" Zhao Yu is advising him about the situation.

"Informs Ni Sheng and Lin Yue to investigate… I want to know his whereabouts and detain his family," Jin Yu is instructing them to get their family to force him to get out.

"Yes, your highness," Gu Man and Zhao Yu are answering him in unison. They are leaving the public kitchen to get his instruction ready.

In the kitchen, Ni Qing got sudden dizziness which makes her almost faint. She is sitting down on the chair with Xiao Nie is giving her some the sugar water.

"Your highness, are you okay?" Xiao Nie is asking her worriedly as her condition seems not good.

"Do not report this to the emperor or Mo Feng… I don't want to get confines to the bed. They like to exaggerate for some small thing…" Ni Qing is informing her loyal maid. At least, no one in the kitchen at the moment as they speak.

"But you need to get yourself check…" Xiao Nie is adamant about her master idea.

"Find out from the record department…" Ni Qing is telling her maid.

"What do you want to know?" Xiao Nie is asking her master with her curiosity.

"The emperor daily life… is he spending the night with me during that week…? make this investigation secret…" Ni Qing is whispering to her maid after looking around the kitchen.

"Yes, madame…" She is nodding to her wish before she left the kitchen after making sure her madame body recuperate.

Jin Yu is finding Ni Qing sit down on the chair near the entrance with the cup in her hand. The is a slight hint of paleness on her facial expression.

"Are you okay, my dear?" Jin Yu is squatting in front of her.

"I am fine… it's just after a while it will be hard for me to cook for a larger batch… I feel a little tired," Ni Qing is explaining to her husband about her condition. Lin Yue is coming to Ni Qing and sees her in the room.

"You got your sugar low again? Have you drink the honey water?" Lin Yue is finding the sugar in the kitchen and make her open her mouth.

"How do you know?" Jin Yu is asking him with his envy.

"It is her old illness… If she is too tired or something bothering her then she is getting her sugar level drop until her pale face come up," Lin Yue is looking at her condition and squatting in front of her.

"I am not tired, and I am not overthinking… it just to cook for the whole people make me exhausted… I will be fine after a little rest" Ni Qing is making excuse for her condition.

"When are you going to pick up the princess Yin?" Lin Yue is asking her with his gentle voice.

"She needs to learn that there is another power to tame her… let her learn the real world," Ni Qing is telling Lin Yue.

"I will tell Wang Bo to relay your message toward Ah Tio…" Lin Yue is massaging her hand and it makes the emperor stare sharply toward his general.

"What are you doing to the empress?" Jin Yu is looking sharply toward the young general in front of him.

"I am giving her favourite massage…" Lin Yue is massaging her arm when Ni Qing is showing him the area where he needs to put the pressure. Ni Qing is closing her eyes to feel a nice pressure, but someone in front of them is not happy.

"Are you serious? How dare you to touch the empress body?" Jin Yu is asking to Lin Yue.

"If you want to message me then Lin Yue will be stopping the massage. Here…" Ni Qing is handing out her left arm when Lin Yue is massaging the right arm. Jin Yu is starting to massage her left arm.

Gu Man in the outside wants to enter the kitchen and freeze up to see the whole act in front of him. Ni Sheng and Zhao Yu are walking behind Gu Man and look at their work colleague stunned and freeze in front of the door.

"What happens?" Ni Sheng is asking him.

"Look… the emperor is massaging the lady… is he really the emperor or the real emperor is the girl?" Gu Man is asking toward his fellow work colleague.

"Oh… that is a normal view.. get used to it…" Ni Sheng is explaining to the shocked minister.

"Who is she? She dares to make the emperor and the God of war kneel on the floor and massaging her arm…" Gu Man is wondering with her identity who dares to do something outrageous toward the emperor and the most notorious God of war.

"Do you know the legend of the smart and cunning woman strategist who has been seized and capture by many kings as their queen or their crown princess?" Zhao Yu is asking to his fellow work colleague.

"Yes… she is still got blood ties with minister Ni… No one knows her real identity as rumour said she is really beautiful as the Goddess descent to the earth," Gu Man is telling him as much as he knows about the rumour.

"There she is… the ex-fiancée from God of War and the Empress of our country…." Zhao Yu is pointing to her in the kitchen.

"She is the empress… our country empress is the most notorious strategist. No wonder the emperor let her read my report in the office today," Gu Man is telling them who got left out.

They all are entering the kitchen to find their emperor and Lin Yue on the floor kneeling while giving a massage to Ni Qing.

"Sister… can you at least keep your husband dignity by asking massage inside your bed chamber? And this the notorious God of war is kneeling to give you massage," Ni Sheng is complaining to his sister.

"Do you want to give me a message also? No one is massaging my feet…" Ni Qing is opening her eyes after enjoying the bliss of the heaven.

"Massaging my arse… Your highness, do not always pamper my sister until you forget your position as the emperor of this country… If our opponent sees you kneel on the floor and massaging her, they will laugh and attacking our country," Ni Sheng is complaining to his brother-in-law.

"Who dares to attack our country? I will annihilate them with my own hand…" Jin Yu is standing up while keeping massaging her arm toward her neck. Ni sheng gets annoyed with his sister smug face until he did not care at all.

"Whatever… where is my noodle?" Ni Sheng is looking around the kitchen before Ni Qing is pointing to the big table in the corner.

"Let's go and eat our lunch…" Zhao Yu is taking Gu Man who is still not getting used to this kind of treatment.

"Why we are leisure in this place and not investigating the culprit?" Gu Man is puzzled by everyone behaviour including the emperor.

"We need to lower their guard by our daily diddle life like this… are you sure to graduate from the imperial test? You seem too naïve," Ni Qing is advising him about their plan while Wang Bo and Zhang are running to track the head of the kitchen.

"I am apologizing, your highness… I don't dare to criticize your plan…" Gu Man is kneeling on the floor with three of them looking at his stupid idea who can ruin their plan. They are well aware of the crown prince of Liang's eyes upon them at the moment. They can't make any mistakes and talk loudly to show them their plan. Apparently, Ni Qing remarks make him realise his mistake.

As expected, someone is listening to them from the back wall of the kitchen. He listens to their talk and writes it to report it to his crown prince as instructed by his commander. He also needs to sneak into the palace and meet up with the consort Liang.
