Loving the Naughty Empress

Chapter 95 - The Rebel

In the morning, Ni Qing is waking up and going into the kitchen before lunch time while Jin Yu is dealing with the government discussion with Zhao Yun and the Yu Fan in the main hall. As usual, Ni Sheng and Lin Yue are helping Ni Qing in the kitchen. Ni Qing is already braising some chicken yesterday, which intended to use today. He is thinking to make rice with chicken and boiled baby bok choy. He will give some pork bone soup with some red dates, jujube and all sort of ingredient for tonic as the menu for lunch.

"I think something wrong with us…. I am an emperor advisor and the war strategies, yet I have to cook in the kitchen and to provide menial job like this," Ni sheng is complaining while he is making some rice.

"I am the God of war and have an excellent reputation as General from the Dayu Kingdom, and I am here chopping vegetable instead chopping enemy in the war," Lin Yue is making the remark.

"Both of you…. I am the consort of Emperor, and yet, I am chopping chicken in this kitchen. Do you seriously want to pull rank in here, or do you want to be like this chicken," Ni Qing is chopping the boiled chicken on the chopping board? Ni Sheng and Lin Yue got scares with Ni Qing and return to work straight away on their post.

Ni Sheng, I making almost thirty kilos of rice for the whole city while Lin Yue is slicing the green baby bok choy to get boiled. Ni Qing is chopping the braised chicken to be in small pieces. She is already making the soup boiled on the stoves. 

They are almost ready for serving the people where the servant is starting to put the long table outside the mansion gate. The people already waits in front of the mansion. However, there is a group of thugs who come and start making a mess on the table prepared for the food.

They are even making the wrong accusation toward the food they ate last night, which make someone die.

"Get out… we demand some responsible for the culprit. Our mother is dying after eating the porridge last night, and my aunty is throwing up all night from eating the porridge… you have to be responsible for their suffering," One of the thugs is starting make the accusation. The people who are gathering in front of the mansion gate start to make a talk to each other.

The thug starts to make a riot and destroying the property. The Eagle troops guards try to stop them, but their numbers are bigger than the eagle troop. Ni Sheng, Lin Yue, and Ni Qing are walking outside with a batch of food on their hand where the thug starts to attack them.

Ni qing was holding a bucket of chop chicken pieces and got pushed to her back by one of the thugs. However, Jin Yu is doing some of his exercises to catch her in time before she falls down on the floor. But, Ni Qing already twists her ankle by the hard push. She screams due to the pain in her ankle.

"Are you okay?" Jin Yu is asking about her condition after hearing her screams.

"No… I think my ankle got a twist," Ni Qing is reporting to her husband.

It won't take a long time for the troop under Lin Yue to reach their mansion. They are catching each one of them and secure them in front of the mansion. The servants are busy cleaning up and serving the food while all the thugs got detained inside the courtyard of the four-season house.

"Who dares to pay you? Either you are opening your mouth, or we are going to kill you!" Ni sheng is interrogating them. Meanwhile, Jin Yu were putting Ni Qing on his lap and wrapped her ankle with the warm towel. Xiao Nie is bringing Ni Qing's wooden box to the courtyard.

"Get me the green jade bottle…." Ni Qing is giving out the instruction to her loyal maid. Xiao Nie is obediently searching for the medication before she hands it to the emperor's hand.

Jin Yu is opening her shoes and pull out the wet sock from her left foot. The obvious mark of the blue bruises on the skin looks really bad.

"Are you sure about it? We need to call the doctor," Jin Yu is getting anxious to see her foot.

"No… I am fine… rub the oil on the jade bottle, and I will be fine after the compress," Ni Qing tells him.

"If tomorrow your feet do not get better. We are calling the doctor and doing it my way," Jin Yu is opening the green jade bottle and rub the oil into the area of the bruise. Ni Qing is grasping his shoulder to let him know about the pain she suffers. She bites her bottom lips to hold the pain. Jin Yu is massaging the area gently and transferring his chi into her wound.

"thank you for lowering your status and treat me so nicely," Ni Qing is outing her arm into his neck and rest her head on his board and sturdy chest.

"You have to be grateful when an emperor actually tends to your wound," Jin Yu still massaging the area of her bruised ankle.

"Yes… yes… I am  really grateful to your highness…. But do you think that you will need to play your role as an emperor soon, your highness," Ni Qing is reminding her husband position.

It won't take a long time before the troop and police include Tan Wu arrives at the mansion.

"catch them all…." Tan Wu is instructing them to catch everyone in the mansion. As soon as they are going to seize Jin Yu, Zhang is actually protecting and shielding the emperor who still got Ni Qing in her laps.

Eunuch Wang is putting his body to shield and protect the emperor and his consort. Lin Yue and his troops are fighting back against the corrupt police and guard of Tan Wu.

"Fight them back and catch them. They are making someone lost their life and people get sick from their meal. I am here to make them responsible," Tan Wu is telling them his reason to come to this place. He is following the plan of his loyal assistant.

"How dare you to do some unscrupulous  thing in front of the emperor?" Eunuch Wang is telling them with his authority as the loyal assistant of the emperor. meanwhile, Lin Yue and his troops manages to seize and secure the police troop to retaliate.

Tan Wu is getting confuse with the word of the head servant from the cold gentleman who hit him yesterday. He does not seem care of afraid for Tan Wu attack on his residence and now, he mention about the emperor.

"If he is the emperor then I am the dragon king," Tan Wu is laughing loudly in front of them. He does not care about the two person shielding him, but he launch direct attack to the emperor. Zhang is getting preoccupied by Tan assistant attack while Eunuch Wang already got subdues from the another guard.

Apparently, Jin Yu is carrying Ni Qing on his arms and dogde his attack by jumping up to the sky. Tan Wu failed to attack him and lost his balance. His face is bumping into the wooden chair head. The blood come out from his nose.

"Bloood….. someone get me the sword so I can kill this person. How dare he make the governor nose broken," Tan Wu is screaming to them while holding his nose to stop the bleeding. Jin Yu is kicking him on his back which make him to fall hard on the floor. Jin Yu is taking out something from his inner robes.

"Look at it," Jin Yu is throwing his golden name tag with a dragon on the emblem.

Tan Wu is picking up the golden name tag from the floor to realise the Emperor is standing in front of him. He was so stupid and attacking the emperor of the country. He does kneel down an putting his deep bowing to the floor.

"Catch all of them…. They are having the movement to revolt." Jin Yu is instructing the eagle troop and Lin Yue soldiers to catch Tan Wu.

"What revolt? Ddooo Yooouuu mean rebellion?" Tan Wu get stutter with the emperor accusasition.

"So now, you are becoming dumb…. Torture him until he confess and bring me his head. All the male member in his family has to follow him into the netherworld while the women and children will need to go to monastery." Jin Yu is rulling his punishment.

Tan Wu is in shock to hear about the emperor punishment without even talk about the torture. His family name will end on him while this is maybe the karma comes from his own father who dies in his hand.
