As the final ministers left the court session, the expressions on their faces were unspeakably ugly.
What they needed to do first and foremost was to find out... just which family did the Empress come from? Who exactly was she?
After all, it was the Empress’s throne; it couldn’t possibly belong to a woman without name or fame, right?
If that were the case, where would these noble families put their faces?
So without getting any information from the Emperor, they couldn’t wait to have people go out and inquire.
As for those in the know, the two from the Ministry of Rites and the Observatory... they also wanted to block and question people.
Regrettably, those two had been called away by the Emperor in advance.
Now there was no chance for them to intercept anyone.
An overly forceful and ruthless monarch was not a good thing for these self-serving ministers.
However, this time Qin Ye made no attempt to continue concealing the truth, so these people quickly found out who was about to become the Empress.
It was none other than Rong Yan, the renowned extraordinary woman and manor master of Jinyan Manor.
Who was she? She was Qin Country’s large grain producer and the innovator of mirrors and glass.
She was an incredibly remarkable woman who had become the wealthiest in Qin Country in just three years.
It was said her wealth could rival that of the nation.
Moreover, she was deeply loved by the common people in the lower classes.
The agricultural techniques she taught... led to bumper harvests and allowed the common folk to have enough to eat.
Moreover, her textile factories provided many women with job opportunities, enabling them to earn silver, thus earning their affection and respect even more.
It was said she was extremely beautiful, and though an "old maid" at eighteen, there were many who sought her hand in marriage.
There were also many men who expressed a desire to marry into her family.
After all, she was very wealthy and also beautiful... even though few had witnessed this themselves.
But who wouldn’t want to become rich? It was a fortune that could rival the nation’s.
But no matter what, she was still an orphan, and she had originally come from a peasant background... how could she be a match for the Emperor?
How could she become the Empress?
At most... she could be granted a consort position, right?
So, when these people found out this information, each and every one of them was filled with indignation.
After all, the daughters of their carefully groomed noble families were not favored by the Emperor, but a woman of humble peasant origin had caught his eye, how could they bear this?
It was as if their own noble ladies had been surpassed by this peasant girl, and if this peasant girl became the Empress, then they would be overshadowed by her.
Who could stand for this?
Now, the place where Rong Yan resided became very lively, with several assassination attempts each day.
Unfortunately for the assassins, Rong Yan’s residence was guarded as tightly as an iron barrel, not only by the Emperor’s men but also by some Martial Arts experts.
Rong Yan had money, and she had secretly spent a great deal to hire a group of people, not only to protect herself but also Rong Jin.
Not a single assassination attempt was successful, and many of the assailants ended up captured instead.
