Yixiu's words seemed to dispel the only trace of unhappiness that Yinzhen had.

"It's just that Fucha... I remember she had a miscarriage before, and now she's hemorrhaging heavily due to a difficult labor. I'm afraid she'll have trouble having children in the future."

"When she was first made Hongli's legitimate wife, she was considered virtuous and decent. Unexpectedly, she wasn't blessed. After all this time, the palace still only has two sons and two daughters. Well, Hongli already has a son, so there's no need to say anything else."

"Your Majesty is right. I am just judging others by my own judgment. The health of the child is what my mother would like to see most."

Yixiu's expression added a bit of loneliness, which made Yinzhen's eyes look more loving.

"The Queen is a kind and motherly woman. Qingying is your biological daughter, and now she is Hongli's concubine. I am sure she will allow you to spend your old age in peace."

Yixiu shook her head slightly. "Your Majesty, I am your wife. Everything I have is a gift from you. How can it have anything to do with anyone else?"

"I'm sorry to say something disrespectful, but life does come to an end. If that day ever comes, I only hope to be with the Emperor. It would be better than staying alone in this world, never to see the Emperor again."

After many years in the deep palace, Yixiu has always been the most decent.

He had never said such words in front of Yinzhen.

This rare warmth made Yinzhen feel unprecedented warmth in his heart.

"I haven't heard the Queen say such affectionate words in a long time. Now, I find them so rare and pleasant to the ear."

Yixiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is always joking. This medicine is getting cold. Your Majesty should take the medicine first."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen said no more.

As the bowl of medicine was about to run out, she continued, "The Hongli family doesn't have many children. You are the queen, so you should take good care of them in the future."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Although Fucha was not blessed with a legitimate son, she is virtuous. With her in charge of all matters in the palace, I believe the palace will surely have many children."

"That being said, you shouldn't be too careless. I heard that the people serving Qingying are the ones who used to be with you. If the rules of the palace are not up to par, you can just appoint a few more people."

When Yixiu heard this, she knew that the other party must have heard some unpleasant things in the backyard of the palace.

Therefore, I didn't say much, just responded and didn't mention it.

Yinzhen seemed to be feeling sleepy and ordered Yixiu to return to Jingren Palace.

After helping the other person lie down, Yixiu turned around and left the Yangxin Palace.

Xiao Xiazi was waiting outside.

Yixiu glanced at the other person and said, "The emperor is ill and needs to rest. You stay here and guard him well. Except for me, no concubines in the harem are allowed to visit him. If anyone dares to disobey me, just report to Jingren Palace."

The Queen is now the only powerful person in the harem, so Xiao Xia Zi has no reason to refuse.

He bowed and replied, "Yes, I obey your order and respectfully send the Queen off."

The sedan chair moved very fast when it came, but swayed slowly when it left.

By the time Yixiu entered Jingren Palace, it was nearly half an incense stick of time later.

At this moment, there was a familiar face standing in the hall.

Seeing Yixiu enter, he quickly knelt down and said, "Your humble servant Zhou Yuan pays respects to the Empress. May the Empress be blessed with good health."

Yixiu supported Jianqiu and walked to the main seat and sat down. "That's all, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Queen."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he stood still with his hands behind his back.

Yixiu casually picked up the jade ruyi on the table and said, "You have done a good job today. I will have someone arrange everything you requested."

"I dare not. Everything I have is a gift from the Empress. It is my honor to serve the Empress. I dare not ask for anything else."

Yixiu curled her lips and said, "I don't like beating around the bush or hiding things. I will never go back on my word. Just go back and wait."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan no longer had any worries.

He bowed respectfully and then turned and left.

Just as the other person's figure disappeared from the hall, Yixiu waved to Jianqiu and said, "This matter must be handled safely. There is no need to save this person's life."
