Everyone is leaving the room while Ni Sheng is giving his best friend some cold compress for his cheek.

"are you fine? How can it happen?" Ni Sheng is asking Lin Yue.

"No… I am not fine, and I need to speak with your sister, Qing," Lin Yue is asking help from Ni Sheng.

"I do not think it will be a good idea for you," Ni Sheng is advising his best friend.

"I cannot accept this marriage, especially with Ni Shi. We both know about her characteristic toward Qing. She will mock her as soon as they meet and I do not love Ni Shi," Lin Yue looks depressed while holding the cold compress on his cheek.

"Dude… you are caught with her on the bed and naked. If the official caught both of you then you can be strip from all your merit and position. This matter already settles, and you just need to play along," Ni Sheng is giving out his best advice to his friend.

"Can I not say goodbye to Qing?" Lin Yue begged to his friend.

"I will try but I cannot promise you for the outcome, bro," Ni Sheng tapped his shoulder and walk away with a smile on his face.

His plan is working out so perfectly and Lin Yue is shifting the fault to Ni Shi. They all know all her wicked and cunning thing toward Qing and tried to snatch her position as Lin Yue's consort. Now, this is happening due to Ni Sheng wicked brain and no one will find out about the truth.

He cannot let the emperor know his sister position before the marriage between Lin Yue and Ni Shi happen today. However, He will need to start preparing his own coffin due to the workload assign by his brother-in-law.

"Your highness, can I have a word with you in private?" Ni Sheng cannot hold anymore for this madness. He needs to go back and attend for the wedding and he cannot do it with this workload.

"court adjourned… you follow me to my study," Jin Yu stands up and walk out from the court chamber. Every minister inside the chamber is having a huge relieves after the long hour madness with their devil emperor.

"Now talk! What is so important that I have to give you a special treatment?" Jin Yu is reprimanding Ni Sheng with his stern voice inside his study. If Ni Sheng get used to his treatment and style, he will get a heart attack.

"Sister Qing where about," Ni Sheng said softly which grab his royal highness emperor attention.
