"Why, your majesty? Her marriage already set to General Lin Yue since she was a kid and at the moment, you just sent both of them to defend our fortress and border," Empress Ni Lang explains his impossible request to marry both of them during wartime like this.

"What did you say?" Jin Yu puts down the teacup to the table and looks at her with his curiosity.

"Do you seriously want me to arrange my sister Ni Qing marriage with General Lin Yue at the time of war like now?" Empress Ni Lang is making his request clearer, so she did not make any wrong move. She is impressed with his husband attentiveness to take her family member marriages into his consideration.

"I mean that I want to take your sister as my noble consort. I will write up a decree soon and send Eunuch Song to propose to your mansion… what do you mean about her departure to the front line? I supposed girl does not allow to go out from their mansion and what is your parent reason to allow her to break the rule and stay outside her mansion," Jin Yu enrages to hear his sweetheart went to the front line.

"Your majesty, my sister is born from a concubine and General Lin family wants to take her in their household as their only son consort. My father and Old General Lin agree to train my sister as the supporting pillar for General Lin Yue as his war strategist under Master Li Tzu guidance. So, if you want to marry my sister, I will object for her own bright future… you can punish me or banish me to the cold palace, but I will not add my sister to this horrible place," Empress Ni Lang kneel down for her sister in front of the emperor. She knows this horrible palace will kill her sister soul. She does not want her sister to experience her pain and all the pain inside this Palace. They try to kill and stab each other inside this thick wall only to get attention from this one man in front of her.
