Nowadays, Ruyi spends all her time playing cards with the other palace sisters whenever she has free time, but no one has taken the initiative to ask to go to the Yangxin Palace to see the seriously ill emperor.

According to Jiang Yubi's words, the emperor's body probably won't be able to hold on for much longer. The fact that he can live until the end of this year may be due to the blessing of the emperor's dragon energy.

But on this day, when Ruyi was feeling bored in the palace and wanted to go out for a walk to get some fresh air, she heard a lot of noise coming from the Yangxin Palace.

When Ruyi rushed over, she learned that it was the eldest prince from Xiefang Palace who, for some reason, insisted on entering the palace to serve his father. At first, the guards at the door would not let the eldest prince in, but in the end, the noise outside was so loud that it disturbed the emperor inside.

"Your Majesty, I see that the Emperor looks very good today."

Although Li Yu said this, Ruyi knew very well about the emperor's situation. Even if the emperor was in good spirits now, he would not live long in the future.

Having been used to living a peaceful and stable life, Ruyi doesn't want to go back to the days when she was worried every day.

The emperor's disease has been brought under control for a long time now. Every few days, Ruyi would be forced to come to the Yangxin Palace to talk to the emperor through the curtain.

The emperor heard Ruyi's voice in the room. Before Ruyi turned around and left, someone in the room came with the message that the emperor wanted to see her.

Ruyi sighed silently, feeling that everything was going wrong for her today.

As soon as she entered the room, Ruyi saw Yonghuang kneeling beside his father's bed with a servile look on his face. If Yonghuang was not unable to drink the medicine for his father, he would have wanted to drink the medicine for his father.

The emperor looked at Yonghuang with eyes full of satisfaction and appreciation. Ruyi frowned as she looked at the father and son in front of her, and sat aside consciously waiting for the emperor to notice her.

Sure enough, Ruyi didn't have to wait long before she heard the emperor coughing rapidly.

"Empress, you have been very hard-working during this period. I have seen the filial piety of the Second Prince to me. The Second Prince is not young anymore. I plan to make him a prince and let him stay in the capital in the future. This will also fulfill my love for Zhu Ying. If he can help Yongqi in the future, it will be a blessing for Yonghuang."

"Your Majesty, Yongqi has been acting as your deputy in handling state affairs for some time now. If Your Majesty does not trust him, it is better for you to handle state affairs yourself. Why let Yonghuang help Yongqi in handling state affairs? If this gets out, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will start to waver again."

Ruyi glanced coldly at Yonghuang, who was obviously looking for trouble today. She was curious about what Yonghuang wanted to do today. Things had developed to this point. Even if the throne was not Yongji's, she would snatch it for her son.

What's more, he had already known that the emperor had drafted the succession edict, and the name in it was his eldest son Yongqi.

Even if Yonghuang performs very well today, he can never expect to become a prince and stay in the capital in the future.

"Father, what the Empress Dowager said is right. If Empress Dowager were still alive, she would not want to see Yonghuang and his eldest brother become estranged. Please take back your decision. Ever since Yonghuang learned that Father was seriously ill, he has been worried and unable to sleep or eat. Now it is Yonghuang's blessing to be able to stay with Father."

Yonghuang's retreat succeeded in provoking the emperor to sit up from the couch and start coughing violently.
