Chapter 24 - The Jealousy Part 2

"Your majesty, I am apologizing but there is not any candy left in the kitchen. Would you like any other desert or Eunuch Li can make you caramel candy?" Eunuch Wang is informing his master.

"It's fine. Do I look like a pushover and small kid over some candy?" Jin Yu said coldly which make his expression grow darker and the whole tent feel a tad cold air.

"Yue… do you feel cold? Why this tent got cold suddenly?" Ni Sheng is asking his best friend who still looks at the bitter medicine in front of him. He bows to the king and decides to carry the baby out of the tent. He left his medicine intact on the table. He needs to clear his head with cold air and the baby in his arm plays with his face.

The moonshine brightly and the star spread over on the sky. Tonight, the clear sky makes them show beautifully. Ni Qing comes and puts his cape on his body.

"Something is bothering you… what it is?" Ni Qing is standing next to him and playing with the baby on his arm.

"Do you like a baby so much?" he looks at her with a love.

"Yes… of course… looks they are so innocent and chubby like a dumpling… don't you like them?" Ni Qing asks him without any reservation.

"I will ask his majesty for our marriage after we wrap up this problem… But we have to solve your replacement. You can not stay with me in the barrack with your pregnancy," Lin Yue is putting half of his cape to Ni Qing body.

"Before all of that… you need to drink your cold concoction. I know you never want to drink any medicine…," Ni Qing is shoving the bowl to his hand while she takes the baby from him. The only person in his life that can force him to drink the medicine only Ni Qing. He drank it voluntary with the scrutinize of her stare. She gives him the small caramel candy to ease the bitterness.

He bends his face toward Ni Qing and almost kisses her peach colour lips when he can hear the baby crying. Ni Qing got distracted and rocks the baby when Lin Yue is taking him into his arm. The baby stops crying on his arm and the baby actually sleep.

"Lin Yue… you have to clean up the soldier from Fujian province. There is a spy among them from Yu Tian. We have to be careful about them not to know our strength inside the barrack," Ni Qing is turning around to look at him. Lin Yue is nodding to know this piece of information, so he can arrange the security precautions with two kings under his watch.

Jin Yu saw them from far away and he gets angry. He asks Eunuch Wang to call Ni Qing to come to their tent. Eunuch Li goes as instructed and relay the message to miss Ni.

Ni Qing remembers the wounded King of Bai Lan. She asks Xiao Nie to take care of the baby before she is going to treat the wound from the King and his subordinates.

Ni Qing already told Eunuch Li to wait for her outside the tent while she is doing her treatment with the help of her brother Ni Sheng. Meanwhile, Lin Yue and Wang Bo is doing the patrol on their barrack and tightening the security protocol as no one from outside the Lin Yue troop can enter the barrack.

It is after midnight when Ni Qing and Ni Sheng finish their treatment of the wound and he wants to sleep. Eunuch Li is waiting patiently in front of the tent for Ni Qing. She is surprised to see his strong will as instructed by his master. Ni Qing does not have any other option rather follow Eunuch Li back to their tent. She was going to crash into Ni Sheng tent.

Jin Yu is sitting in the dark to wait for a long time for her to come back. Eunuch Wang is standing outside the tent with Zhang. Eunuch Wang is anxious to wait for Miss Ni to come as he understands the emperor is mad.

Finally, Ni Qing is walking close to the tent follows by Eunuch Li. It gives them a sight of relieves. Eunuch Wang is going to announce the arrival of Ni Qing, but she stops him to do so. She opens the gate to the tent where all the light is off. She walks into her bed on the sight with a sigh of relieves. It has been a long day for her, and she just wants to take a rest.

She sat down on her bed behind the wall separation from the common area. Lin Yue builds this tent to cater for the needs of Ni Qing. Suddenly, she can feel someone is hugging him from behind.

"Ah… Your Highness… You are still here," Ni Qing is going to stand up and do the curtsy when he pulls her into the bed.

"Do you know that I can kill you with only a flick of a finger?" He put her under his body when he flicks her forehead.

"I am only your small subject which my life is really unimportant to you. What does your highness do in my humble bed?" Ni Qing is looking at his face.

"Can you just one time to listen to me? Why you have to defy me every time? What time it is now, and yet you just come back to the room?" Jin Yu is nagging her sternly. Normally, people are waiting for his presence and this time, he has to wait for her until late.

"I like this… whether you like it or not, you have to adjust with my character. I am only one Ni Qing in this world if you can not accept me as my self then I can not help to obey you, your highness," Ni Qing is on purpose mocking him.
