In the end, Yongsheng could not be given to Ruyi because he had to call the imperial physician every few days. Yixiu and Hongli suspected that Concubine Jia did it on purpose, but Yongsheng looked weak and sickly, so Hongli had to give up.

Yixiu thought that Hongli would not have too many children in the future, and each of them would be precious, so even though she was unhappy, she still let Concubine Jia raise Yongsheng herself. Otherwise, she was worried that Zhen Huan would secretly attack Yongsheng and frame her.

Zhen Huan was willing to give up even her own child, let alone a child of Hongli. It would be better for the child to be raised by his biological mother. If anything unexpected happened, it would be Concubine Jia's own problem.

Concubine Jia thanked her with tears of gratitude, but Yixiu found that there was not much joy in her eyes. She couldn't help but laugh secretly. Qian Li Zhao Zhao came from the Yu family, so she really has great ambitions.

Now that the matter has been settled, the only one who is truly happy may be the Imperial Concubine. As long as Ruyi cannot get what she wants, she will be happy. She is really simple and unpretentious, yet she does not benefit others or herself.

Ruyi was disappointed for a while, and Yixiu felt sorry for her niece. Compared with never having hope, she had experienced the pain of having hope but not being able to fulfill it before, and it was really uncomfortable.

"You are still young, you will have children eventually." Yixiu looked at Ruyi and said, not forgetting to pull the imperial concubine who was gloating over the side, "The same goes for you, the medicine prescribed by Doctor Jiang is good to take, the cold is cured, and you will have children eventually."

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine said something shocking: "Empress, can you please raise a man to bear my child? I can't even think of someone with a high rank, and I can't count on someone with a low rank either."

Seeing Yixiu and Ruyi looking at her in shock, the imperial concubine opened her eyes wide and glared at Ruyi, "Empress Xian, is there anything wrong with what I said? Why are you looking at me like that?"

She really didn't think there was anything wrong with this method. She had finally waited for Concubine Jia to get pregnant and give birth, but she turned out to be sick and sick, and she refused to give the baby to a high-ranking official. Given this, it would be difficult for her to have children anyway, so she might as well raise someone to give birth for her.

Surrogacy is a common practice in the imperial court.

Yixiu thought she would be very angry. After all, what she hated most was someone in the harem getting pregnant and giving birth. But now it was strange that someone was planning in front of her openly and even had to discuss it with her.

What’s even more amazing is that Yixiu wasn’t actually angry. She was just a little surprised that the imperial concubine would have such an idea. Was she willing to push someone around her to Hongli?

Yi Xiuxiu said meaningfully: "Just think about this matter yourself. The emperor has many concubines, so there is no shortage of children. If you promote one, it will only add one more concubine to the harem."

The imperial concubine was a little hesitant again. One more concubine meant one more person to share the emperor's favor. She couldn't control whether the emperor liked her or not. If she promoted an ugly one, she was afraid that there would be no chance of pregnancy. She couldn't bear to do such a thing as killing the mother and keeping the child.

After listening to this, Ruyi also felt that Yixiu was right. There would always be a child, so why bother to rush to have a surrogate mother? She still wanted a continuation of her and her beloved's bloodline.

However, A'ruo, who was following behind Ruyi, had her eyes sparkling after hearing what the imperial concubine said, and her gaze kept wandering between Ruyi and the imperial concubine.

Upon seeing this, Yixiu said nothing. She looked at Ruyi meaningfully and left first. Keeping a vicious dog around will eventually backfire.
