In Chaoyang Palace, Old Master Cao cried with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, please have pity on me. I am an advisor, and my duty is to advise the Emperor. How can the Emperor lock me up in the harem without saying a word?"
"I am an old man, but I wear women's clothes all day long, stay with women, and perform women's etiquette. I am so embarrassed."
"If this gets to my colleagues, how can I, an old minister...how can I live like this?"
"The Imperial Noble Consort is kind-hearted. You must help this old minister."
Although she knew she shouldn't laugh, Jiang Yi couldn't help it. She tried her best to control her facial expression and said to Lord Cao gently, "Lord Cao, please stand up and speak."
"I understand Lord Cao's hardship, but the Emperor is also suffering."
Jiang Yi naturally sided with the emperor. "The issue of offspring is the emperor's difficulty. Doesn't the emperor want to have offspring?"
"He's already suffering enough, and yet you keep telling him about it every day. Naturally, he's unhappy, and you, the adults, have to be the first to do so."
Lord Cao said with a bitter face, "This old minister also knows that I was wrong. I hope the Royal Noble Consort can give this old minister a chance."
He had seen with his own eyes how favored Jiang Yi was. Maybe Jiang Yi could say a few good words for him in front of the emperor, and the emperor would let him off this time.
"I promise that I will never again dare to mention the matter of offspring in front of the emperor. Not only will I not say anything, but if anyone else does, I will jump up and slap them in the face."
Then he looked at Jiang Yi with hope.
"Just now, the old man spoke for me. Now that the old man has something to ask of me, I should agree. However, this matter is a little special. The issue of offspring is probably a concern of the emperor, so even I dare not mention it in front of him."
This is the truth. Although the emperor does like me a little bit at the moment, the emperor's love can be given to you today and to someone else tomorrow.
Her position was not stable, and it was not yet time for her to do whatever she wanted.
Mr. Cao was slightly disappointed, but he didn't say anything else.
"But I can give you a piece of advice. The emperor is only concerned about his offspring. If the emperor has a child, you can naturally leave the palace." Jiang Yi said slowly: "It's not that the emperor has no offspring in these years, but there are very few of them. Including the unborn, there are only two in total."
"But this is enough to prove that the emperor is not incapable of having children, but it is a little difficult."
"If you meet a pregnant woman, the possibility of conceiving a child is greater."
"Li Cainu is a woman who gets pregnant easily."
Old Master Cao was a little confused and didn't understand what Jiang Yi meant.
Jiang Yi then said it more bluntly, "It's just that Li Cainv has just been disliked by the Emperor, and the Emperor will definitely not favor her. Master Cao might as well persuade Li Cainv to take the initiative to fight for his favor."
Li Cainu entered the palace five years ago. She came from a humble background, but because the emperor had no children, he summoned fertile women from the common people into the harem.
Li Cainu got pregnant three years ago, but failed to keep the baby.
Considering the situation now, Li Cainu is still relatively young.
"Master Cao is unable to appease the emperor, so he can only find this method."
Jiang Yi fooled him, and perhaps Lord Cao was desperate and wanted to find a cure, so he actually went to look for Li Cainv, and happened to see Li Cainv being killed.
The one who did it was the maidservant beside Li Cainv. She was stunned for a moment because she was seen by others.
The maid immediately wanted to kill Mr. Cao to silence him, but was subdued by the people sent by the emperor.
The maid was brought before the emperor, who had just finished dealing with the memorials. Upon hearing this, he asked Commander Duan to go and examine the case.
He noticed that this matter was unusual and thought that it was directed at Jiang Yi, so he quickly went to find Jiang Yi.
Commander Duan quickly found out the whole story from the palace maid. It turned out that because Li Cainv had a dispute with Jiang Yi before, Concubine Xu ordered the maid to kill Jiang Yi, intending to frame Jiang Yi for Li Cainv's death.
Jiang Yi sat beside the emperor, her eyelashes trembling slightly when she heard this, as if she was a little scared, "I... when did I offend the imperial concubine, so that she would even risk Li Cainu's life to frame me."
Her little face trembled slightly as she nestled in the emperor's arms, and she was obviously frightened.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." The emperor's face was gloomy, but his voice was gentle as he coaxed Jiang Yi.
The imperial concubine has been in charge of the harem for many years. She is vicious and has killed many concubines over the years. However, because of Princess Anle, the emperor only reprimanded her privately. He did not expect that imperial concubine Xu would be so bold as to attack Jiang Yi this time.
Jiang Yi is the person the emperor wants to protect, and the emperor will never allow anyone to target Jiang Yi.
The emperor decided to set a trap for the imperial concubine and make Concubine Xu suffer this time.
The palace maid who killed Li Cainu was sent back by the emperor. With the emperor around, the maid naturally did not dare to speak carelessly.
Concubine Xu thought she had it all figured out, so she brought up the matter that very night.
Concubine Xu reported this matter to the Empress Dowager, who was a little skeptical. After all, Jiang Yi looked very weak and had just arrived at the palace, so she shouldn't have acted like this.
Because she was unsure of the emperor's attitude towards Jiang Yi, the empress dowager did not dare to act rashly. After all, Li Cairen was just a small figure. There were too many small figures dying in the palace every day. The emperor even executed several concubines the other day. It was really not worth their trouble.
However, Concubine Xu kept asking Li Cainv for an explanation, and the empress dowager was so annoyed that she asked the emperor to come over.
The emperor came with Jiang Yi. Seeing their clasped hands, the imperial concubine's eyes flashed with lust.
