Even if Shangguan Ruian's child was not dead and came back alive, he might not be qualified to compete with Yu'er for it.
Now, Yu'er is too weak to handle state affairs, and her great-grandson is still in her belly.
Now that Shangguan Ruian's child is back, wouldn't it be easy for him to take away everything that belongs to Yu'er!
"Mother, I am still young and have the energy to handle state affairs. Please be patient and wait. The little grandson will be born soon and you will be able to see him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as Emperor Qianyuan left, the Empress Dowager felt much less depressed. "Ms. Yun, go to the Duke of Huguo's residence tomorrow and give Princess Xiao some sacred items to nourish her pregnancy."
