YM778.TV Chapter 162 - Henpecked Emperor
"What is wrong with this edict?" the emperor is looking sharply to the minister with his stern cold voice. The minister of rites is looking scared to the emperor at the moment. No one dare to criticize the new empress in front of the henpecked husband. however, no one know about it yet except the person in the inner circle of the emperor.
"We got a lot of complaints from the other members of your harem. If you are not waiving the empress edict, they will do complain and kneeling in front of the courts building to express their disappointment for this edict," The minister is explaining toward the emperor. he thought the emperor will take the majority complaint to waive the empress edict.
"Let them do the kneeling in front of the court… I want to see all of them and if they did not kneel down as they said. No one get their food from the kitchen. And no one can refute the empress wishes…" The emperor is telling him with bold voice. The rite minister is getting goosebump as his naïve relationship with one of the concubines in the harem, send him into the angry emperor. it means the emperor already aware for the edict write by the empress.
"I will tell them your decision, your highness…" The minister of rite does not have any gut to answer back the emperor in front of him.
"Good… tell concubine Rong, your childhood friend, that the empress think about their health and not to check their body part. However, I am interesting to find out whether my wife body is still intact or not. I am not keen to wear a green hat in my office… so, I will tell the palace lady to check every women body inside the palace," Jin Yu is emphasizing his word regarding all the infidelity happens in his harem.
It is not really bother him at all as he will not touch their body but they still his wife and no law in this continent allow anyone wife to be sleeping or having romance other than her husband. they need to respect the law in return for their prosperous family life and their nice life in the palace. they can enjoy their luxurious life without thinking about the expense.
"How do you know, your highness?" The minister of rites is gobsmacked to hear the word about his relationship from the mouth of the emperor. he is kneeling down straight away because of his finding out about their relationship.
"The wall has the eyes and ear, minister…. Do not tell me that you lay your finger into my concubine?" Jin Yu is interrogating the minister of rites. Jin Yu actually does not have any problem with the most honest person, he ever knows. Jin Yu can see him already sweating from the sharp question from the emperor.
"I do not dare, your highness… I have my wife and family in the house… we just a childhood friend and I would like to help my friend," The minister is bowing to the ground to hear his emperor word. He did not dare to touch the emperor women and do not have any intention to do it.
"Go and make another decree from the conclusion to make sure they remember their purpose and responsible in this palace," Jin Yu is instructing his minister to go and start working. He is bowing before retreating back to his office. His heart almost out from beating to hear the emperor suspicion.

in the Consort Liang palace after their romantic session, the eunuch is coming to announce the edict from the empress and the emperor. out of sudden, Consort Liang is feeling nauseas from the smell of the eunuch entourage. Mo Yan is hiding inside their bed chamber and wanting to go out to help his sick wife. However, the eunuch is still in the common room to read the edict.
Consort Liang is having her pale face while trying to hold her nauseas inside her throat. However, all her effort is not successful when she is going to retched out into the secretion vase. Her maid is helping her to soothe and comfort her.
"Eunuch Yang, please let me receives the edict on behalf of the royal consort Liang… as you see her, it is better for her to rest up… she has been not feeling well," Consort Liang maid is looking for the excuse for her master.
The eunuch understands about royal consort Liang unwell condition and bowing toward her before he retreats from her place. Consort Liang\'s maid told another maid to call the imperial physician to come and check into her condition. Mo Yan makes sure the surrounding area clear before he come out from the bed chamber and get closer to his lover.
"Are you okay, my love," Mo Yan is asking her while he is massaging her back.
"Master Mo, please change your clothes with the eunuch uniform if you would like to be present while the physician check the body of consort Liang," The maid is suggesting Mo Yan for his disguise.
"Go back home… you do not need to stay in here… I will be fine," Yun Xin is telling him to be safe. She can\'t afford to make her lover to be in danger if he still in this place with her.
"No… we are together in sickness and happiness… I will change with the eunuch clothes and come back," Mo Yan is telling her about his plan and decision. His word makes her cry with happy tears in her face. she did not make the wrong choice to choose the right man for her.
The royal physician is coming to the palace in hurry with the maid of Consort Liang\'s palace. he is bowing with his wooden boxes on his shoulder. Consort Liang is greeting him and excuse him before she is retching to the bowl again in front of the physician. Mo Yan with his eunuch disguise help her through her painful vomit.
The physician is checking her pulse after she is siting back to the chair. He is putting a piece of fabric into her wrist before he is analysing her pulse. the physician is taking his time before he is kneeling down on the floor and putting his head on the ground.
"Congratulations, your highness. You are pregnant with the emperor seeds," The physician is telling her with a smile on his face.
"Are you sure about it? are you sure that I am pregnant?" Yun Xin is asking her out of believes. She is looking at Mo Yan direction with her white pale face.
"I am hundred percent sure as your pregnancy is already on the twelfth weeks. I will prescribe you with the tonic to nourish the foetus and your body," the physician is standing up and checking into his wooden boxes to put inside his wrist pillow and the fabric. He is writing the prescription on the paper and hand it to consort Liang\'s maid.
"Thank you… can you please keep this happy news a secret before I tell the emperor myself?" Consort Liang is asking the physician about the practice to hide the pregnancy from danger.
"I will, your highness… I do understand the drill of this whole ordeal. I will keep my lips seal until the emperor have his edict to announce the arrival of his prince… however, I still need to report on the book of physician about my diagnostic for this visit," The royal physician is explaining toward consort Liang when Mo Yan is coming toward the physician.
"You know my madame… if you can help a little to write down a normal sickness on the book this time…" Mo Yan is handing the physician some gold ingots.
"What will happen when the emperor announces the pregnancy? Do you think that I will be in trouble if I am not putting the right diagnosis?" the royal physician is still adamant to change the diagnosis as he still holds the gold ingots in his hand.
"What are you afraid of? My consort is pregnant with the heir from the emperor and the emperor will not pardon you," Mo Yan is adding another gold ingots into his hand.
"I will write down her nausea and abdominal pain due on the bad food," The royal physician is putting his gold inside his robe. he is bowing to respect the consort before he left back to his office.
In the common room, Consort Liang is still in shock mode to hear about her pregnancy. She is well aware this baby belongs to Mo Yan.
"Brother Yan, what should we do? You can\'t escape from death if the emperor knows about this baby," Yun Xi is getting sad regarding the happy news. She can\'t live without him, and she does not mind carrying his seeds. She needs to think a way for them to elope from this thick wall and live together as a small family. She is pregnant with his baby.
