Jiang's father didn't understand why the emperor would appear here at this time, so he was truly bewildered when he saw the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. Long live the Emperor!"
Jiugongting waved his hand, signaling Jiang's father to get up, and then walked inside without saying much.
Once inside, Father Jiang seated him in the seat of honor, while he himself stood below.
At this moment, Jiang's father was truly confused. He didn't know what the emperor wanted to do by coming to his residence at this time.
However, since the emperor had not spoken, he could only wait cautiously.
"Lord Jiang, where are your family members?"
When Jiang's father heard this, he was completely stunned. He looked up at the emperor with a blank expression.
He hadn't yet recovered from what the emperor meant by those words.
Su De, who was by the emperor's side, immediately said, "Lord Marquis, did you forget to have your family come out to greet the emperor? The emperor has come, so logically you should at least have invited your family out!"
Su De's words made Jiang's father suddenly realize the truth.
However, he felt that the emperor wouldn't be so careless as to come to his residence to see his family.
However, seeing that the emperor did not refute Su De's words, Jiang's father had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside to call everyone out.
"Your Majesty, I will go now."
Soon, Jiang's father brought everyone in the family over, but Jiang Jingyue was the only one missing.
Not seeing the person she wanted to see, Jiu Gongting's face turned cold.
"Lord Jiang, I remember you have another daughter. Why hasn't she come out?"
Father Jiang didn't dare let Jing Yue out at all. She was already pregnant, and although that brat refused to say who the father was, he had to investigate on his own. However, he still hadn't found any clues.
Even when the emperor ordered all unmarried women to enter the palace, he dared not allow Jiang Jingyue to enter.
However, he did not expect that the emperor would come looking for him.
“Bring the person out. Marquis Jiang, you should know that this time, I sent all those women into the palace to find someone, right? Since you kept your own daughter and didn’t send her into the palace, what is your punishment?”
Seeing the emperor's angry expression, Jiang's father was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
“Your Majesty, I did not enter the palace because I was unwell. I am certainly not the person Your Majesty is looking for.”
The emperor didn't want to say anything more to Jiang's father; he felt that continuing the conversation would be a waste of time.
"I don't care. Just bring the person out now. After I see them and confirm it's not them, I'll leave immediately. It won't delay anything."
Since the emperor had said so, Jiang's father knew that he had no choice but to comply.
Because he knew that when the emperor got angry, it was not something his small Marquis Jiang's mansion could handle.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will go and call my daughter out now."
Jiang Jingyue had just learned from the system that her target this time was actually the emperor of this dynasty.
Meanwhile, the emperor had already found her.
"Host, if you go out now and the man sees you, your mission this time is to give birth to an imperial heir for the current emperor."
The current emperor has been on the throne for twenty-five years, has three thousand concubines, and still has no heir.
Jiang Jingyue: What a pitiful man! Is he impotent? With so many women, how come none of them have gotten pregnant?
System: "You're half right and half wrong! You should know whether he's capable or not, but his quality isn't good. Only someone with a highly fertile constitution like you could possibly conceive his child."
However, people like you are extremely rare, almost nonexistent. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be childless.
"Host, you need to get out now. Your father is here to see you."
Jiang Jingyue was somewhat surprised to hear that her father had come to see her. Ever since he found out she was pregnant, her father had been trying to get her to reveal who that scoundrel was.
However, she never said it. Actually, it wasn't that Jiang Jingyue didn't want to say it, but at that time, she herself wasn't very clear about who that man was.
But now she knows who this man is.
Sure enough, Jiang Jingyue hadn't been waiting long when her father came in. The first thing he did was to glare at Jiang Jingyue with a stern face.
"Get ready, and come with me outside to meet someone. I'm telling you, the person outside is the Emperor. He's here specifically to check if you've caught a cold. Be careful when you go out."
Seeing her father's stern face, Jiang Jingyue wasn't afraid at all. She ran to her father's side and said to him with a smile.
"Father, don't worry! I will definitely handle this matter well. Father is willing to talk to Xiaoyue now, does that mean you have forgiven Xiaoyue?"
When Jiang's father heard Jiang Jingyue say that, he turned his head away, not wanting to look at her at all.
"I told you long ago, as long as you tell me, no matter who that scoundrel is, I can settle this matter for you. It's just that you've been unwilling to tell me."
"Don't say anything more. Hurry up and get ready. Come out when you're done. Don't keep the Emperor waiting."
Jiang Jingyue nodded, quickly got ready, and went out with her father. But as soon as she saw the Nine Palaces, her eyes widened and she turned to run away.
However, her speed is definitely not as fast as Jiugongting's.
The moment Jiu Gongting saw her run, he immediately chased after her. Before Su De could even react, he realized that his master had already run out.
The moment Jiang Jingyue saw the Nine Palaces, she immediately ran outside.
But before she could run very far, he grabbed her.
Seeing that Jiang Jingyue was still wearing a veil, Jiugongting pulled the veil down without hesitation.
The woman's small face immediately came into his view.
Sure enough, the little woman in front of him was the one he had been looking for. No wonder she ran away the moment she saw him; she was afraid he would recognize her.
"What, why are you running away when you see me? Are you afraid of me?"
Jiang Jingyue bit her lip, not daring to speak at all. She kept her head down and didn't even look up.
Jiugongting didn't like seeing her like this; Jiang Jingyue like this was nothing like the little vixen she was that day.
"Look up at me! Why are you keeping your head down? Don't you know what you've done?"
Hearing his commanding tone, Jiang Jingyue slowly raised her head and looked at him.
Looking at the face he had been longing for day and night for so long, Gong Ting couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
