"I was injured when I gave birth to Jingyi last time, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get pregnant in the future."
The woman's eyes darkened as she spoke of this, and the sadness in her eyes aroused the little sympathy that Empress Dowager Xue had. Empress Dowager Xue also had a child when she was young, but the child died young.
Empress Dowager Xue patted the back of Qiao Yu's hand:
"Listen to me, child. Take good care of yourself and take care of yourself. With the emperor's love for you, you will have a child. Even if you can't have one, you can always choose a smart one from the royal family."
"Aunt, the emperor's guilt can indeed allow Lan'er to live a decent life in this palace, but it cannot guarantee the glory of the Xue and Hua families after Lan'er's death."
"Lan'er has always wanted to live a decent and glorious life. It's not difficult for her to endure the grievances for a while."
The woman looked at Queen Mother Xue with such determination that she was momentarily dazed. The girl before her was no longer the timid and irresponsible girl who had been at her knees as a child.
"Good boy, it's the best and most insightful thing for you to think like this. Our Lan'er has finally come to his senses."
What Queen Mother Xue said just now was just to test Qiao Yu's inner thoughts. How could Queen Mother Xue, who had been fighting in the harem for many years, not see the benefits involved?
"Ahem, someone come and deliver my imperial decree."
Just when Yu Yuanting was stopped by Zhu'er and didn't know what to do, the Queen Mother sent someone to deliver the imperial edict and interrupted them.
Yu Yuanting knelt on the ground and turned to look at the crazy woman who was laughing crazily. She was still dreaming about being the queen. She didn't know that death was her best destination at this time.
Once this child was born, both she and the child would be hated by the emperor, and the misery that lay ahead was clear to her at a glance.
When Yan Fu learned that Qiao Yu had asked Empress Dowager Xue to save Concubine Qiu's child, he was very puzzled. He immediately left the ministers who were reporting on government affairs and hurried to the Lanchao Palace.
"May the Emperor be blessed with good health."
Before Yan Fu even entered the room, the woman stood up and saluted. He had long ago exempted Qiao Yu from the salute, but before he could stop her, she had already finished, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Lan'er, why did you ask Queen Mother Xue to keep that evil child?"
It was the first time that Qiao Yu heard someone criticize her in such a way. Her expression remained unchanged, but her eyes no longer had the same enthusiasm as before when she looked at the man.
Seeing Qiao Yu didn't speak, Yan Fu continued anxiously:
"If you're lonely, I can come and keep you company every day. If you're worried about having no one to rely on in the palace, don't be afraid. I'll always be your support. If that doesn't work out, we can pick a clever and well-behaved child from the royal family..."
