"Xiao Nie, come here… you too wang," Jin Yu is calling both of them who is coming straight away in front of the cold and aloof emperor. Xiao Nie is really scared with the emperor angry face at the moment.
"Now, who make noble consort Qing exhausted? Is she not sleeping at night? And why she is so thin and losing weight?" Jin Yu is giving a stare to Xiao Nie for the answer.
"Your highness noble consort Qing is working to write sutra and embroidery some sutra as punishment from the emperor. she is having a deadline every day or else she cannot come out from the chamber, or she needs to kneel as today. She is so thin because we only eat corn congee or rice congee with sweet potatoes and cooked some wilted greens from the courtyard. I have to dig up the leftover basket or forage from the bin to serve food for noble consort. The last eight days is hell and degraded the morale of noble consort Qing. she cannot use her own money to buy some food and afraid that it will upset you," Xiao Nie is reporting without adding it nor take it out.
"wang explain to me why she is in this unfinished palace and why no one gives her any food? she is my noble consort for God sake," Jin Yu is looking a fit of anger at his loyal assistant. He cannot believe due to his stupidity, and he almost lost his baby and his wife.
"I really do not know your highness. No one gives the order to exclude the royal noble consort Qing from the allowance of food and necessity. I will investigate it," Eunuch Wang is bowing to the emperor.
"Bring me, Empress Chu, concubine Rong and concubine Long here," Jin Yu is instructing them sternly.
Eunuch Wang is going out to call them in person while Eunuch Li is coming with the head of the household department in the palace. He is coming and bowing to the emperor who is putting his aloof scary face.
"What can I help you. Your highness," he is kneeling down in front of the emperor.
"Can you see this palace? Tell me what is wrong?" Jin Yu is asking him with his cold tone.
"En… I really do not understand, your highness," the eunuch is playing stupid. He is getting the instruction from concubine Rong to cast out the unfavourable woman of the emperor.
"Li, make him work in the general department. Change the head of the household department," Jin Yu is telling his assistant.
"Your highness, I am sorry…. I am under the instruction from Concubine Rong to punish the outcast women in your harem," The Eunuch is bowing and reporting to the emperor.
The concubine Rong is coming to the palace and hear her name get called and kneeling down in front of the emperor.
"He is framing me, your highness. I do not know him, and I never tell him to outcast concubine Qing," Concubine Rong is pleading to the emperor for the accusation from the manager of the household department. She is trying to deny all the accusation from him.
"Put her into the general department for the whole month to learn about her mistake and strip her title. Take away all her privilege and when she finishes her punishment time, she will be evicted from the palace. I am issuing her repudiation letter as she is no longer my wife," Jin Yu is telling them so casually which make Fu Rong fall back to her back to hear the verdict.
"Your highness…" Empress Chu is walking in the room and curtsies to the emperor with Concubine Long on her side.
"I have to square my point with you, yet I close my eyes. why you punished noble consort Qing? This is between me and her and you are dipping your finger into our problem," Jin Yu is interrogating the empress without any restrain.
"Your highness, I am the empress and the head of this harem and the palace. My job is to discipline the harem members," Empress Chu is making the plea. in reality. she just wants to know the new girl limit.
"Who is going to discipline you for your mistake?" Jin Yu is asking her.
"You are the person who can punish me," Empress Chu is looking at him.
"I want you to get ready to be with me tonight. I want to know the reputation of the empress as I hear among the high-class society men. Wang, prepare her for our wedding night," Jin Yu is telling her with his cold tone which sends goosebump to everyone in the room. It seems he wants to slaughter someone.
"Your highness, I am still recovering from the miscarriage, and you can flip someone else nametag," Empress Chu is getting a cold sweat with his intimidation. This is the first time he actually asks someone to serve him on bed.
"Your highness, I am willing to serve you tonight in place of empress," Concubine Long is kneeling down to beg for the opportunity to serve the emperor in the bed.
"do you want to replace me in the court also? Or do you want to decide all my decision now?" Jin Yu word send a chill to her whole body.
"I am not dare…" Concubine Long is putting her face to the ground. She is so filial to the empress, but she can not refute the word of emperor.
"it is settling then. Empress will serve me tonight…" Jin Yu is telling everyone to leave him while he is tending to his wife in her room. The room is changing with more luxurious furniture and Jin Yu asks Eunuch Wang to change the same mattress as he uses in his bed chamber. Jin Yu is carrying her in his arm while they are putting more thicker mattress and goose blanket. Jin Yu wants her stuff the same with his room as he will spend time in this room.
"Your highness, are you really going to consummate the marriage with the empress? Do you think noble consort allow you to do it?" Eunuch Wan is asking him. This is the first time he asks someone else to attend his bed.
"You are really in need extra job as you can be an interfering busybody," Jin Yu is looking at him directly after he puts her down. Ni Qing is moving her body to curl up and make it comfortable. Jin Yu is fixing her blanket and kiss her head. He sees all her fingers and it make his heart hurt to see the needle prick left on her finger.
"I will revenge all your pain," Jin Yu is whispering to her ear before he left her to sleep. He is going back to his chamber to read and finishes his work.

"No, I do not need some wine, but I believe that you will need it. you will be busy tonight. I do have a question though for you. This is our first night together to consummate our marriage, yet you got miscarriage," Jin Yu is looking at her who got fully sweat on her face.
"I do not understand the question, your highness," The empress is hiding her face and pretend to be stupid.
