Please, I need real information, not from films, k-dramas and etc. I mean the language of the "official people" like the emperor, empress and etc.

You mean as the official language? Given the size of the empire, I'd imagine that the people within it spoke a range of languages/dialects (just as they do today).

What is wrong with the information in Wikipedia?

So we have a new user, a non-trivial question and all that is missing is some boiler plate "I looked at wikipedia but the information there is too unspecific".
