"Your highness, I am sorry. Please listen to my plea and keep my son alive," Tan Wu tries to bargain with the emperor who is getting darker by the minute He talks.

"Why? Who are you? You can not decide who can live and who can die. That is my job," Jin Yu said it with his cold voice over to him.

"I know it, your highness, but listen the main person who ask me to prove my ability to run the southern region to run as an emperor of this country. Do you want to know? As long as my little son can life in monastery with my wife and daughter. I will show you my loyalty before I die," Tan Wu is bowing to the floor.

"I do know it as I have their name already in the capital. Do you think that I am fool?" Jin Yu is laughing for his request. He is standing up with Ni Qing on his arm to their room.

"Execute him after he confess and do the family now!"

The rest of the people and Zhao Yun is doing as instructing by Jin Yu who is going to his room to take care of his hurting wife.

Jin Yu is putting his wife gently to the bed while he is sitting next to the bed and looking at her.

"How many times you have to get hurt?"

"I do not tend to get hurt but lately my bad luck lurks into my life," Ni Qing is complaining to her husband who is holding her hand.

"Do you want something?" He caresses her cheek.

"You still have to serve the food for the people outside the mansion. They are waiting with their empty stomach," Ni Qing is reminding her husband.

"Wang… wang…"

Eunuch Wang is entering the room as soon as he hears his name has been summoned by the emperor, "yes, your highness…"

"Serve the food with Lin Yue and Ni Sheng for the people. Eunuch Li is going to take care for lunch and dinner when consort Qing still sick," Jin Yu instruct him who is nodding and walks back toward the door.

"What else do you want now?"

"Do you really have to execute the children regardless their parent fault?" Ni Qing is asking him about his decision.

"So far I knew, woman is not allowing to dip their nose into government issues and my decision is firm," Jin Yu is pouring the tea and hand it to Ni Qing.

"I am not dipping my nose. It just parent sin is not belonging to the children," Ni Qing is still arguing with her husband. In her mind, child is still pure and naïve.

"How about if I let him alive and he got taught by his revengeful relative to pay back and grow up to learn about revenging his father and waste his life. It is better for him to get reincarnated sooner than later," Jin Yu is explaining to his naïve little wife who he sees try to put her feet down.

"Where are you going?"

"I am going to take bath. Do you think I am not sweaty enough after cooking the whole morning?" Ni Qing is explaining into her husband while sitting on the side of their bed.

"I will help you and carry you the bathroom. Stay there!" Jin Yu is walking to their bedroom door to arrange some hot bath to get prepares for Ni Qing. As soon as they are reporting back that the bath is ready when Jin Yu is carrying her into the bathroom. However, he is not going anywhere and standing there to support his wife.

"Where is Xiao Nie? What are you doing in here?"

"Why do you need your little maid when I am here? Do you think it a little too late to get ashamed with me now?" Jin Yu is still supporting her. She is trying to take off her clothes with only one foot. Jin Yu is standing behind her to support her body while his hand is helping her to take off her clothes.

As soon as she is naked, Jin Yu is carrying her into the bath tube with hot water. She is scrubbing her body and putting some of soap into her body. Jin Yu is rinsing her body with some water and help her to scrub her back.

"Stop, your highness…." Ni Qing is holding his hand which is descending into her breast.

"Did you just refuse your emperor wish?" Jin Yu is whispering to her ear.

"I am still tired and get hurt. Can you give me some mercy or send me to the cold palace? I will be glad to accept all your punishment," Ni Qing is pleading into her husband.

"I will massage you after or I can massage you now…" Jin Yu is teasing her before he can see Ni Qing angry face before laughing out loud for her reaction. Jin Yu still can hold his desire after her got injured.

Jin Yu is helping her until she is finishing her bath and The emperor is putting some pyjamas to her body. He is really taking care of her with all the diligent and due care.

"ask someone to get WEN to my chamber," Empress Chu instructs her loyal maid.

"Young master Wen will come as usual time, your highness. Do you want me to help you with something?" Her loyal assistant is answering to her master.

"I want him now!" Empress Chu is yelling, but before she is finished her whole sentence. She is rushing to the corner of the room and get the pot to throw up. her stomach feels so churning and she cannot hold it anymore.

She tries to drink the hot water to cleanse her palate after her vomit, but it makes her stomach churning again and feel to throw up again. Chu Yi really feeling nauseas and sick.

"Your highness, do you want me to call the physician?" Her loyal maid feels worried.

"Yes, please after you help me to lay down on the bed," Chu Yi is getting dizzy from all the nauseas.

The maid is helping her master to walk to her bed and left to call the royal physician. They are going back to the empress palace when the royal physician checks her pulse. he is checking three time to make sure before he is kneeling down on the floor.

"Congratulations your highness…. You are pregnant with the royal baby inside your stomach. The emperor must be happy to hear about your pregnancy…." The royal physician is bowing to express his sincere congratulation.

"How far along is my baby?" Chu Yi is asking the royal physician.

"It is almost one month your highness," he answers her question.

"I want you to keep this news in secret. I want to keep it until my condition stabile, and I need to protect my baby for the other women in harem." Chu Yi is telling him her request.

"I will, Your highness. I will prescribe some tonic to nurture the royal prince or princess inside your womb…." The royal physician is bowing to the empress before he is leaving the empress palace.

Chu Yi is still in shock to find out about her pregnancy. She does not know the baby father as she is sexually active with few men the last one moths after get ambush by the emperor. she has been changing partner as she like and sometimes got hooked with two different guys. She cannot control her libido and the urge of her desire.

She has to think about the aftermath from her pregnancy. If the emperor knows about her pregnancy, then she will be doomed as he never visits her chamber. He will question about her pregnancy as it is not from his seed.

Chu Yi has to make sure about her pregnancy to keep secret and no one can know about this bastard child. She has to think about the plan to survive this problematic. She also cannot open her problem to her uncle who will kill her and her whole family if she dares to ruin his plan.

She is too dizzy to walk around to find a solution to her problem. She is biting her nail and lay down on the bed to think hard about the solution on her problem at the moment.
