Loving the Naughty Empress

"Can you repeat again?" Jin Yu is asking his loyal subject who is kneeling in front of him and facing the ground.

"We find the royal highness the empress in the barrack of the north border of our country. She is preparing the troop to defend our border attack on the Yong Ning border. General Lin Yue, Lord Ni Sheng and Captain Xi Kai are with her including General Chu," Zhao Yu is telling him without even putting up his face too scared with his reaction.

"How dare you hide it from me? I just got news regarding the war, and you told me my pregnant empress is in the front line and defending our border!" Jin Yu is throwing one of the reports books on the ground next to Zhao Yu. He did not dare to lift his face to the angry emperor in front of him.

"Your highness, the ministry is gathering in the courtroom for the border condition," Eunuch Wang is bowing and reporting to the emperor who is still pissed off with the newest information regarding his wife.

"I will make sure about your punishment later on. Let's go!" Jin Yu is standing up and walking to the courtroom. In his mind, there is a huge stone lifted up because they find his wife. However, she can be death by the war.

It makes him boil with anger to remember about her safety. He also did not know the full condition of the border at this stage before he listens to the report of the minister.

Jin Yu is sitting on his throne and overlooking all his minister who is lining up to discuss the raging war on the border.

"Your highness, the convoy from the Jurgen county for the treaty discussion got ambushed by the An Hui tribe who disguise as our troops. We got one survivor with a heavy wound, and we already transferred into our Palace to get treated. In his hand, there is one of the tribe's headbands in his hand," The minister of defence is passing the headband to the emperor.

The prime minister and a few other ministers are looking for instruction from their emperor. Captain Huo is running to the palace in place of Wang Bo and their General Lin Yue. He never gets used to dealing with all the administration especially meeting up with the emperor inside his courtroom.

"What are you suggesting? We are retaliating with Jurgen County?" Jin Yu is seeking more clearer idea about the whole situation at the border. Apparently, Zhao Yu is getting another letter from Ni Sheng regarding the condition in the Yon Ning city on the northern border.

"Your highness, Lord Ni Sheng just sent me another report regarding Jurgen County. There is coup d'état inside their country, and they are trying to pin it to us. They will try to provoke us with the retaliating the convoy attack. Their King got imprisoned inside his palace," Zhao Yu is reporting the summarize letter from Ni Sheng.

"How many troops is Jurgen bringing to our Yon Ning border?" Jin Yu is asking about the opponent strength.

"They are bringing two thousand troops to the Yon Ning border, your highness," The Minister of Foreign Relations is reporting it to the emperor. Jin Yu is hearing the number of troops marching to his wife make his heart sink down to the bottom of his body.

"How many troops do we have at the border?" Jin Yu is asking with his facial expression getting darker by the minute.

"it will be only around seven hundred troops. General Chu is having five hundred soldiers and Ni Sheng is marching with Wang Bo with one hundred soldiers and Eagle troops around fifty to one hundred soldiers," Zhao Yu is reporting with his hand clasping to the emperor which makes his expression gets darker by the minute.

"Your highness, the only person in this country who can deal with this kind of war is the empress, Ni Qing. She is the best war strategist and General Lin Yue can lead the Yon Ning war. Do you mind asking her to arrange the strategic plan to win this war?" The prime minister is suggesting a way out to the emperor without knowing his wife is already in the Yon Ning city.

"I can't involve the empress. She is still sick and recuperating. Ni Sheng is taking lead with General Lin Yue on the border. I think it will be enough if Captain Huo is marching with the whole Tiger troops under General Lin Yue," Jin Yu is making his decision to hide about the empress location because he will march down to the border and save his empress.

"I will your Highness," Captain Huo is clasping his hand and bowing to the emperor as soon as he hears his name announced to lead the whole troop to the war.

"Captain Huo and Prime Minister, come with me to the study. I need to discuss more things with you! Meeting dismissed," Jin Yu is standing up and leaving the courtroom to his study. The Prime minister, Zhao Yu, and Captain Huo are going to meet the emperor in the royal study room.

They are lining up and clasping their hand to give respect to the emperor who is looking fury at this stage.

"Now, I am going with Captain Huo to the Yon Ning city to oversee the war myself. Prime minister, you will take care of this whole government," Jin Yu is dropping the bomb regarding his plan.

"Your highness, I am, not allowing you to step out from this Palace wall. You can punish me, but I am not going to let you out," Eunuch Wang is having his word. It is his job and duty to protect the emperor at any cost.

"Do not worry.. This time, you are coming with me to the border," Jin Yu is smirking at his loyal eunuch who opposed his plan to protect his wife.
