But these people's status was too high, far beyond the reach of Jiang Yi, a little concubine's daughter.
If Jiang Yi wants revenge, she can only cling to someone who is more powerful than them, and that person is the emperor.
The emperor was not favored when he was a prince. In order to become emperor, he killed all the adult princes at that time and ascended the throne amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Such an emperor, who is suspicious, sensitive, violent and bloodthirsty, is undoubtedly not easy to get close to.
But he had a weakness: he was childless in middle age, which was criticized by court officials.
Jiang Yi can give birth to children for him, lots and lots of children!
But given her status, how to get close to the emperor is a problem.
But luckily she has a system.
The system told Jiang Yi that at noon tomorrow, as long as she waited in the backyard of the Princess's Mansion, she would be able to wait for the emperor.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Yi waited at the princess's back door since that morning, waiting for something to happen.
......
"presumptuous!"
The emperor's furious roar was heard from the Purple Palace.
"Are you my subjects or my mother? You are in charge of whether I have children or not, and you are in charge of whether I adopt a son. You are so capable, why don't you give me children?"
With a "clack" sound, the imperial desk was overturned to the ground, memorials fell to the ground, the inkstone shattered, and ink splattered. The emperor stood on the high steps, his face flushed. He pointed at the ministers who advised him to adopt a son as soon as possible and shouted with his hands on his hips: "Tell me, why don't you give me children!"
The courtiers standing below with their heads bowed turned red in the face. Seeing the emperor's anger, they quickly knelt on the ground and said, "We are incompetent."
"You are so shameless and yet you are still here. You have such a big face. If you can't give birth to a child for me, forget about having an heir!"
The emperor continued to roar.
"Your servants are incompetent, but the issue of heirs concerns the country, your servants..."
One of the old ministers gave a warning with gritted teeth.
The emperor is already thirty-five years old this year, which is not considered young. However, there is only one princess in his harem, and no prince at all.
The ministers were certain that the emperor had been unable to give birth to a child before and would be even less likely to do so in the future.
If something happens to the emperor, who will inherit the throne in the future?
The emperor glanced at the minister with a sinister look, "You have a problem? Fine, then you will give birth to a child for me, and pass on my order to take Lady Zheng into the harem as a concubine."
The old minister was so frightened that he quickly stepped back. "I am almost fifty years old this year. How can I bear a child for Your Majesty? No, even when I was young, I couldn't bear a child for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
However, the emperor simply had him taken to the harem and then looked at the courtiers below, "Anyone who has any objections will be sent to the harem as well."
The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to express any opinion anymore.
The whole court was silent. The emperor looked at his ministers who were like quails, and his anger finally subsided.
He flicked his sleeves and said, "Dismiss the court!"
After returning to the harem, even though he had just silenced a group of old ministers, the emperor was still unhappy.
His mother was just a palace maid before. She was favored by the late emperor by chance and that's how he was born.
He used to be the most humble prince, and he paid a lot to get the throne.
How could he be willing to hand over the throne he had worked so hard to obtain to someone else?
The emperor has always been concerned about having offspring. He couldn't understand why he had no offspring when he was young and strong.
Whenever the emperor felt depressed, he would want to go hunting. This time was no exception. The emperor didn't even have breakfast. He just changed his clothes and went to the hunting ground.
He became the heroic hunter again, never missing his target with his arrows.
A satisfying hunting trip helped the emperor get rid of his previous depression. Just as he was about to return to the palace, an arrow suddenly flew from the sky. The emperor was unable to dodge and was hit in the chest. He covered his chest and looked around sharply, but found that the man had only shot him once and left.
Because the emperor had already sent all the people here away before the hunt, so even if he wanted to order someone to capture the assassin, there was no way.
The chest seemed to hurt a little more, and black blood gradually flowed out.
"Oh no, it's poisonous." When the emperor realized this, his mind was already a little distracted.
In order to avoid an ambush on the way back to the palace, the emperor made a quick decision and went to the eldest princess's mansion, which was closest to the enclosure.
Princess Rong'an is a princess of the same mother as the emperor. The two have always been close. At this time, the emperor only trusts Princess Rong'an.
However, just as he arrived at the Princess's Mansion, the Emperor fell off his horse.
Seeing the eldest princess's back door only one step away from him, the emperor gritted his teeth, crawled forward a few steps, and knocked on the door.
The manager of the back door was a newcomer. He had never seen the emperor before. When he saw a man covered in blood lying in front of his door, he thought it was a beggar from somewhere and kicked the emperor away.
This kick made the emperor feel even worse, and his eyelids drooped immediately.
For a moment, the emperor thought he was going to die here. Just when he was about to die, a young girl suddenly jumped out from the corner.
Jiang Yi, dressed in a plain white gown, came before the emperor like a fairy concubine. She seemed to frown and sighed softly, "I don't know what happened to him that he shed so much blood."
In the end, Jiang Yi helped the emperor up and took him to climb through the dog hole.
"Don't mind me, it's because I'm not favored at home. If Mother and the others knew I brought a man home, they would definitely not tolerate me. I wouldn't be able to save myself, let alone you."
