Jin Yu is walking off the Consort Yin palace and walking through the palace of his empress. He is standing in front of her palace who got sealed off due to her sickness. There are limited people who come and out from her palace and her palace gate gets sealed off.

"Your highness, please go back and rest into your chamber. Your empress Qing is still recuperating inside her chamber. You are not allowed to go indie the chamber due to your health reason," Eunuch Wang is reminding the emperor who is standing still in front of his wife palace. His empty stare into the building gives a goosebump into everyone who is following him.

"Let's go. Remember, no one can enter the empress palace! understand," Jin Yu is informing them regarding his instruction. He did not want to go back to his bed-chamber when there is no one in there. He feels lonely without his wife on his side.

In the morning, as planned and blessed by the emperor of the Dayu Kingdom who already gives his last farewell to the deceased consort Yin. The procession is going back to the Yin Kingdom to bring home the princess of Yin.

After all the procession of burial and sending off the deceased body back to the Yin Kingdom. The emperor is going to the morning court.

The morning meeting is bringing the agenda regarding the political convoy from the Jurgen tribal. They are wanted to become an alliance with our country in terms of economic. Their country is located on the northern side of the Dayu Kingdom.

Jin Yu already approves their visit, and he is going to appoint one of the people from the minister to become the diplomat for the Jurgen Country. They are going to make the talk in place of the emperor.

The minister also requests the appointment of the new consort with the death of the consort Yin. The minister is requesting the emperor as the result of the Empress sickness and there is only one consort in the palace.

The empress was sending off all the women in the emperor harem away. This action is deemed unacceptable by the nation. They are bashing Ni Qing action to empty the palace from the concubines.

Jin Yu is having a headache hearing the plea of the minister. He is refusing their idea to appoint the new consort into his harem. As it is his decision to dismiss the women inside his harem.

Jin Yu is dismissing the morning court, but the minister does not bulge and kneel in front of the courtroom. They are having strike with their emperor decision for refusing to get more consort or concubine into his harem.

Zhao Yu knows the emperor feels burdened with his wife disappearance and now, the minister is pushing him to get more women into his harem. However, Zhao Yu needs to make him be occupied with everything to make him forget the empress.

"Emperor, can I have time to advise you regarding the issue with the minister? The scholars are doing strike with the minister regarding your decision for refusing to accept the concubine into your harem," Zhao Yu is bowing in front of the chamber of the emperor when the door is open after he accepts his plea.

Zhao Yu is going inside the room and the door shut close behind him. Zhao Yu is bowing to give respect bow to the emperor. Jin Yu is using his casual robe and reading his scroll and drinking his tea. Zhao Yu can understand all the scrolls regarding An Hui tribal.

"Your highness, how about if you are agreeing to their request for the concubine selection? it is your duty to keep balance in your harem. They are really afraid if the empress passed away and no one can be the nation mother. You might want to consider their request," Zhao Yu is requesting from the emperor regarding the plea of the minister. At least, the emperor is getting his mind occupied with the concubine selection.

"I can't face my wife if she comes back and finds there is a new concubine in my harem. She will be upset with my decision. I do understand about my duty to keep my harem in balance," Jin Yu is putting down the scroll in his hand and looks at his loyal minister in a deep and serious look.

"I think your royal highness the empress will understand about your duty. I will help you to talk with the empress in regard to this matter. Please approve the minister request, your highness," Zhao Yu is kneeling in front of the emperor.

"Wang! Relay my decree. The minister of rites will need to carry on the concubine selection. they will need to send me all the pictures of the concubine selection and their information. I will only be accepting one concubine from the selection," Jin Yu is closing his eyes while making the difficult decision in his life. He will need to coax and pacify his angry wife to find out about the new member of his harem.

"Thank you for your grace, your highness," Zhao Yu is bowing to the floor. Zhao Yu needs to keep this emperor to occupy his mind to delay the time for Ni Sheng.

This is the most difficult job ever to babysit the emperor who is in dark regarding the condition of his wife. At least, Zhao Yu needs to find a girl who can resemble a little bit of the empress appearance into the concubine selection.

This is his next job to make the emperor busy. At least, if he can find the person who can reassemble the empress when they found the deceased body of the empress. He will not too sad with the news. This nation fate is in his hand to handle the emperor.

Zhao Yu is going and telling his subordinate to find the women who reassemble the empress Qing. Their jaw is dropping to hear the request from their master.. It is an impossible task to carry out.
