Jin Yu pushed her away and wrapped her with his robe before throwing all her clothes in the ground in front of her. Ni Qing is pouting her mouth when her plan is not successful this time. Apparently, Ni Qing saved by the people of Jeong, who is bringing some of present for her and two wooden chests with all the payment for tonight.
Ni Qing still refusing to meet with their boss. She is wearing her dress and sit down on the table. Mr Chen is knocking the door for permission to enter when he steps into the most traumatizing room. Jin Yu immersed the anger and scary aura into the whole room while Ni Qing is drinking her tea without any expression.
"Your highness, I got the report for you and the present from the host of the party who is asking your hand for a tea or some dinner together," Mr Chen is reporting and bring in two maids with a tray in their hand and a small, exquisite chest in others maid hand.
"You are not going to dig more information by seducing Jeong? Why you always dip your nose into the court matter? My woman needs to keep their behaviour in place and exercise their virtue. You are not allowed to deal with the court matter!" Jin Yu is telling her with his cold voice before leaving her in the room. He is really upset this time and he cannot tolerate her behaviour this time.
She is exposing herself in front of all ravishing eyes of men. She is stepping so low tonight and does not think about her image nor her husband's name. this is not a good wife behaviour, and he really can not tolerate or accept it. she needs to get punish as a lesson for her behaviour.
"Your highness royal consort, please follow me to go back to the palace," Zhang is instructing her so politely. However, Ni Qing is opening one of the wardrobe and take out two of the spear she manages to smuggle from the host. She is giving it out to Zhang.
"Investigate this! I manages to secure this spear from them before it got stole again from the armoury," Ni Qing is handing it out to him. Zhang is wrapping the spears with some of cloths and bring it with him. Ni Qing is obediently following him to the carriages in front of the restaurant.
"Go and guard your highness emperor. I will be fine to go back to the palace," Ni Qing is telling Zhang when he is ready to hop into the carriage.
"He is already on his way back to the palace. Lin Yue and Ni Sheng are escorting his royal highness back," Zhang is reporting to Ni Qing. She is obediently sitting inside the carrier with Xiao Nie. This time, she gets the taste of her own medicine.
They are arriving to the gate and area of the palace when Zhang is stopping to the palace intend for Ni Qing. He is helping them to get out from the carriage. Ni Qing is gobsmacked and speechless when she is seeing her freedom. But it also means, she is really in deep problem when she is not under the favour of the emperor.
Ni Qing takes her punishment with her head high. She is walking inside the empty and dark palace. Zhang is leaving them in her palace and leaves with the carriages. The Palaces is already finished the renovation. She can see his touch of the palace as his palace, and she feels a bit sad. However, she has to take the consequences of her wrongdoing.
Xiao Nie is really stressed up to see the condition of the palace. She is hurriedly to light some fire to light the palace. She is trying to make a small fire pit inside the bed chamber where is still dusty and inhumane.
"Young madame, this is really bad. You cannot sleep in this place," Xiao Nie is complaining because there is no blanket or the mattress for the bed. The Palace still have the outdated furniture inside even the outside and surrounding area already finishes the building.
"We will make do for tonight. I will think about it tomorrow," Ni Qing is sitting near the fire pit in the room and put her back.
"this is so cold. Do you want me to go back and fetch your cape?" Xiao Nie is standing up.
"No need. Where is my robe from earlier?" Ni Qing remember about the robe she used to sneak out from the palace earlier. Xiao Nie is putting it in the outside table. She is rushing to get it for her master.
Ni Qing is accepting the robe and wrap her body with the robe, and she is resting in her sitting position. She is getting so tired lately and she was performing the powerful dancing. As soon as she put her head on the back of the chair. She falls off to sleep. Xiao Nie is sitting and guarding her master before following her into the sleeping mode.
In his palace, Jin Yu is still mad because her silly behaviour and action. He cannot sleep and use his energy to work overnight. Eunuch Wang already warn him but fails and get scolded for it. He even calls Ni Sheng, Lin Yue and Zhao Yun to the chamber. Zhang is handing the evidence he got from Ni Qing.
The emperor is torturing them until the sunrise and shines so cheerfully in the morning. No one can leave the room before they can give a thought and discussing about all the court matter including Jeong. He wants their two cents for all the problem.
They are allowed to go out when the emperor left to his chamber for resting. They are all bowing before going out the work chamber of the Emperor with their heavy eyes.
"How he can be that powerful?" Ni Sheng is complaining to their group.
"Or he will not become an emperor?" Zhao Yun is smiling to hear his complain.
Jin Yu is feeling a bit empty when he got used to sleep with her. however, he needs to punish her to give her some thought about her action. Apparently, the more he thinks about her, it make him awake and think some ridiculous things.
'Is she loves me?'
'Is she still having a feeling to Lin Yue?'
Jin Yue is having a sort of thought inside his mind and brain. He is moving around on his bed and failed to make him to sleep. He cannot forget her nice body scent and her body in his arm. Jin Yu know his body felt tired, but he cannot sleep and stop thinking about her until he drifts to sleep.
-----
He is waking up after short nap and get ready to make the early session of the court. He is making a last-minute announcement for the court to star earlier than usual. All the minister is coming in the rush and attend the meeting with the grumpy emperor.
"How can he look like fine after he torture me the whole night and summon us early enough to get slaughtered. If this continue like this, I will not be able to make a baby to pass my family name," Ni Sheng is asking his best friend.
"Do not think to far away when we only need to think about to survive this madness," Zhao Yun is telling him.
He is right to the point when Jin Yu is slaughtering everyone inside the court room and nit-picking every policy and decision made by the minister. It seems someone provoke and irritate the emperor.

Ni Qing is waking up when the chill morning air blow to her face from the open window. She is stretching up her hand into the air to move around her stiff body. Xiao Nie is opening her eyes when she hears the window closing by her master. She is standing up straight away and putting the robes into her master body.
This time, Ni Qing has a clear picture of her whole new palace. She is checking into the tunnel when she is way beyond surprised to see the progress. It is already done and connecting the inside of the palace into the outside world.
"Madame, do you want me to shop some food from the market?" Xiao Nie is asking her.
"No, we are getting the punishment. We need to receive and brace it for now. Ask the royal kitchen for any breakfast for me or any left over. I feel so dizzy and tired. If they did not give you anything, bring back some rice and corn. I got sudden carving of rice corn congee," Ni Qing is checking the bed and opening the wardrobe to find all the bed necessity.
She is looking for the well and get some of the water to clean up the bed. She is also bringing out the blanket, bed sheet and some outdated pillow. She is soaking it inside the water and wash it. apparently, Xiao Nie back and bringing the dry corn and really bad quality rice. Apparently, the news about the favourite girl of emperor sent to the cold palace spread out inside the palace.
The kitchen staff is treating Xiao Nie really bad and treat her with bad attitude before they send her into the rubbish room to fend for a food. she manages to get the ingredients back from the kitchen. She can see her master already starting to do some cleaning, but Xiao Nie cannot find her.
She is going inside the main hall into the corridor to her bed chamber when she can see her master sleeping like a baby on the bed. It seems that her master already cleaning up the bed and use it for her nap.
