"Sister! You must help me!" Shupin shook her head desperately, "The emperor just doesn't want me to be with the child. Sister, you must help me."

Ruyi frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "Sister, the best plan now is for you to go and tell the emperor to hand the child over to me completely. You should trust me, I will take good care of him, and when you are well, I will plead with the emperor and return the child to you."

After hearing this, Shupin's eyes flashed with hope. She had seen everything Ruyi had done these days. "Sister, are you really willing to help me?"

Ruyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will do my best to take good care of the child. What you need to do now is to ask the emperor to give the child to me."

It was impossible for Ruyi to let the child be raised by the Queen once. If that happened, there would be countless concubines in the harem who had no children, and the Queen would definitely not let her raise Shupin's child.

Yi Huan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

So, Yihuan forced herself to stay healthy, had someone wash and dress her up, and then went to ask for an audience with the emperor.

The emperor did meet her.

Arriving at the imperial study, Shupin knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have made a scene at the door of the Queen Mother's palace, which embarrassed you and the Queen Mother. I beg Your Majesty to take back your order and not send the child to the Queen."

Yihuan said with tears in her eyes, as if sending the child to the Queen would be a catastrophic disaster.

The emperor looked at Yihuan with some reluctance in his heart. Coincidentally, the senior palace maid beside the queen came over to report that the queen was not in good health recently and there was no way to arrange this matter.

He thought of Su Lujun.

"Shupin, I'm doing this for the good of the child." He softened his tone, as if he wanted to comfort her.

Yihuan kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, I beg you. I cannot live without a child. If Your Majesty must give the child to someone else to raise, then give the child to Sister Xianpin. Sister Xianpin is kind and compassionate, and will definitely take good care of the child."

The emperor was silent for a moment, "Ruyi's body..."

"Sister Xianpin has always been on good terms with me. Her health has recovered a lot, and she has also agreed to help me take care of the child."

"Let Ruyi come over."

Yihuan had no choice but to withdraw. She returned to her bedroom and anxiously waited for the emperor's decision.

When Ruyi came over, her attitude was very sincere. "Your Majesty, you have seen how much Shupin loves the child. It would be cruel for Shupin to rashly send the child to someone else to take care of. Why not give the child to me to take care of."

"I will definitely treat him as my own son and raise him well. When Sister Shupin is well, I will return the child to her. Besides, the only person Sister Shupin can trust now is me, so it doesn't matter if I am a little tired."

The emperor looked at Ruyi and felt a little shaken.

He knew that Ruyi was kind and believed that she could take good care of the child. "Well, since you said so, I'll leave the child to you. But you must take good care of him and not make any mistakes. Also, keep an eye on Shupin and don't embarrass her."

Ruyi was delighted and quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Ruyi told Yihuan the good news, and Yihuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

"Thank you, sister. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Sister, don't say that. We are all doing this for the good of the child. You should take good care of yourself now and try to recover as soon as possible. Then you can raise the child yourself and don't have to worry about anyone breaking you up."

Yihuan nodded, her eyes full of hope.

Unexpectedly, the child ended up living in Yikun Palace after many twists and turns.

Since then, Ruyi has taken good care of Yihuan's child, and Yihuan has also worked hard to recuperate during the confinement.

Not long after, the news of the Yellow River bursting its dikes made the emperor busy day and night.

Yihuan was also filled with sorrow. She sat in her own palace, facing the mirror, gently stroking her cheeks that had spots due to pregnancy, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"The spots on my face are becoming more and more obvious. The emperor hasn't allowed me to sleep with him for a long time. Is it because of this?" she murmured to herself.

Then he thought about how he might have been a little rash in his words when he was at the Empress Dowager's place a few days ago, and accidentally caused some unpleasantness. "Could it be that because of what happened at the Empress Dowager's place, the Emperor has some opinion of me?"

She frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Then I thought of the baby who was being raised in the Yikun Palace, who was still in swaddling clothes. He had always been in poor health and was always weak.

"Is it because of the child's physical condition? The emperor blames me?" Yihuan's heart was in turmoil, with all kinds of thoughts churning through her mind.

Just at this time, Ruyi brought her child to Yihuan's palace.

Ruyi looked at Yihuan's worried expression and understood what she was thinking.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad?" Ruyi gently pulled her hand.

Yihuan raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Sister, why did the emperor not let me sleep with him for so long? Is it because I got spots during pregnancy and became ugly, and the emperor dislikes me? Or is it because I made a scene at the Queen Mother's, and the emperor is angry with me? Or is it because the little prince is in poor health, and the emperor blames me?"
