Jin Yu is sleeping next to Ni Qing and enjoying the blissful moment. There is nothing more indulge moment to be with his wife, the apple of his eyes. He was coming back a bit late after cleaning up himself and soaking into a hot bath after the whole ordeal with Consort Yin's death.

"Your highness, this lowly servant is bringing the express letter from the Yin Kingdom," Eunuch Wang is reporting the urgent news toward the emperor. This is an urgent request resulted from the death of consort Yin.

"Yu, wake up. Eunuch Wang is seeking your audience," Ni Qing is telling her husband to wake up. Jin Yu is slowly open his eyes and getting unhappy expression to get disturbed by his eunuch.

"Come in!" Jin Yu is screaming with his hoarse voice and tries to sit down on the side of the bed. His body is covering Ni Qing body on the bed.

"I apologize for the disturbance, your highness. There is a message from the Yin Kingdom about the arrival of the Royal family to bury consort Yin and the crown prince Liang is rushing back toward the Liang Kingdom due to the same disease as consort Yin," Eunuch Wang is reporting everything with tremble when he tries to peek unhappy expression from his emperor.

"What is new and urgent from your news until you have to disturb my quality time with the empress?" Jin Yu still did not accept the urgency of this news for him. he did not care about Liang's crown prince. He already knows about the arrival of the crown Prince of Yin to bury his sister.

"Eunuch Wang, the crown prince is cancelling all his schedule to come and meet with consort Liang?" Ni Qing is peeking her head out from behind Jin Yu. However, Jin Yu is not happy with her curiosity and push her body back to the bed and tuck her under the blanket.

"Yes, My Empress. They are rushing him back to the Liang Kingdom in the fastest way. Apparently, his life is hanging by thread and the only cure is inside the kingdom," Eunuch Wang is answering her question politely and allowing Xiao Nie to come and bring them the hot water as their first drink of the day.

"Anything new from the Yin Kingdom?" Jin Yu is getting the cup to his wife and help her to drink the warm water.

"The royal family means The King, the Queen and the crown prince entourage. As a tradition, they can not stay in the inn like last time. We have to welcome them to the guest palace in the inner ring. Do you want me to proceed with the whole preparation? They will be arriving at noontime, your highness," Eunuch Wang is informing his emperor about the news which sends him into deep thinking. meanwhile, as soon as Ni Qing is hearing about the arrival of the King of Yin Kingdom. She is blurting out the water from her mouth.

"Is something missing out in here relates to your past counterpart with the King of Yin?" Jin Yu is turning around to see his wife on the bed who tries to pat dry the wet blanket. Xiao Nie is rushing and helping her master to clean up the mess.

"Kind of exchanging promise to become their crown princess to save Ni Sheng and Lin Yue. This is the fault of the oblivious emperor who makes us visit and make an alliance with the Yin Kingdom?" Ni Qing is complaining and shift the blame toward her husband.

"I said make an alliance and not make a promise! Do not twist my word!" Jin Yu is getting irritates with his wife. Apparently, the vinegar factory starts to produce more vinegar than before.

"What should I do? I am not going to welcome them with you. I still have to do some releasing of women from your harem," Ni Qing is sitting up and tell him the plan.

"You are the empress, and it will be an insult to avoid the duty when the king and queen of Yin arrive in this country," Jin Yu is giving out his thought about her absence.

"You have to let me go. If he saw me then the King will obviously give his son wedding dowry out and take me back to the Yin kingdom. I do not think they will mind getting one plus one," Ni Qing is rubbing her small bump inside her belly.

"You sort this out! I do not care your way, but you are not leaving my side. DO not dream to take away my crown prince," Jin Yu is stomping out from the sleeping chamber. He is getting furious to hear her promise to every nation on this continent.
