Chapter 12 - The Aftermath

Noble Concubine Chu is going to the tea house and into the private room four to find the server cleaned up the room.

"Good evening, do you need something? You have to go to the host on the first floor if you would like to use this room," The server is politely telling her.

"Where is the guest who occupied this room?" Nobel concubine Chu is asking him fiercely.

"I do not know anything about the guest, madame," He answered politely before left her inside the room. He can judge from her clothing appearance that she is coming from a noble family. He decided to avoid any mishap with the lady in front of him. She vents her anger by kicking out the chair in front of her. The maidservant who follows her is taking a step behind to leave her annoyed and angry lady master away.

"Find me… where is the emperor? Where is my father?" Noble concubine Chu cannot believe that she failed this occasion to get her love. Her maid is telling the guard who follows the noble concubine to find her father in his mansion. He cannot believe this outrageous demand from his spoiled mistress. It was his bad luck to appoint him as her personal guard. He was never having a good time under the noble consort who always have unsettled emotion.

In the room, Jin Yu embraces the woman in his arm. He never feels so satisfied in his whole life with the love of his life. Ni Qing in the other hand feels so distressed as she cannot forfeit her wrongdoing. She let go of her virginity to a stranger and she cannot imagine explaining this thing to Lin Yue about her wrongdoing to marry a stranger.

"I am sorry, but I was under a drug that I cannot preserve myself. I will be responsible for you and I will send someone to your mansion with a dowry to marry you properly," Jin Yu sit down on the bed. He did not want to get up from the dream and want her always inside his embraces.

The door knocks from Zhang stop him from daydreaming. He reminded himself about his duty as the emperor. If he did not make it back to the palace, the minister who wants to show their claw will start to show their true face.

"Why did you do it? How will you responsible for something that already lost?" Ni Qing covering her naked body with the blanket.

"Do you think that I will not be able to claim something that belongs to me?" Jin Yu looks at her when she finds her old marble name tag hanging with some gold thread on his neck.

"Why do you have my name tag?" Ni Qing is sitting down and wanted to find out about the name tag.

"I will answer you later… is Ni Lang your sister? Are you the daughter of Minister Ni?" The emperor is asking her the question of who amuse her. At this time, it seems that her brain did not work properly and get witches with his domineering aura. She nodded to his question with her blushing crimson red face.

He took away the red sheet underneath of her and ripped it off. He needs proof for the people in his court if they are complaining of his decision. Ni Qing still hiding under the blanket. She is blushing red to see the proof of her virginity gotten taken away. She still cannot get over the fact that they do something forbidden. She really cannot imagine the consequences of her action.

"I am sorry for the disgrace, but you are the only girl I have ever been in bed. You are my wife in my life… I will go to your house and wed you legally," Jin Yu is squatting in front of the bed. He even handed his name tag to her. The golden name tag with the dragon emblem on the name tag make Ni Qing realises, she is doing it with her brother-in-law. She directly got a headache straight away.

Zhang is keeping knocking on the door to remind him about the time. He feels nervous after sighting the noble concubine Chu carriages on the opposite of the Inn.

"Lord, I saw the carriages of madame Chu left the tea house. We have to go," Zhang informed his majesty. Finally, he summarises the scheme from his concubine with a dirty trick. He clenched his fist to vent his anger. However, God still on his side and bless him with the opportunity to meet with the loves of his life. He did not realize that Ni family is having two daughters.

"I really have to go, and I will pick you up with the red sedan soon… if you need to send me a letter or meet me… go to the south gate of the palace. Show them my name tag and they will escort you to me," Jin Yu explains to her.

Jin Yu left the room after he finishes dress up straight away. Ni Qing still in confusion on the bed with a sore body. It took her an hour before she can use her clothes and went home.

However, his brother already waited in front of the house. He is looking like a missing duck.

"Brother… what are you doing in here?" Ni Qing is asking him.

"Li Yue needs your help… Ba Lian country just started to do ambush our convoy for the food distribution for the fortress outside the border… they try to take over our fortress," Ni Sheng is explaining to her younger sister.

"Is father already aware of this thing?" Ni Qing is asking his brother well aware of her father temperament.

"Father know already… how he can let his favourite son in law is in trouble? He let you go to the barrack… Xiao Nie already goes with all your needs in the carriage…" Ni Cheng explained to his youngest sister.

"You are really something… How can all of you neglected the situation until the soldier on the fortress is in danger?" Ni Qing is in fury to think all the life in danger.

"I just finish reporting to the majesty in the Palace and he gives the authorization for Lin Yue to attack and defend the country," he climbed to his horse after saw his sister already hop into her horse.
