Chapter 139: Yunxi Retreats to Advance
Yunxi lay in the emperor's arms, pretending to be weak and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for your permission."
"What's the matter? Please tell me, my beloved concubine. I will do whatever you say. I hope you will get better soon." The emperor said while hugging Yunxi lovingly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty... I request that Your Majesty return the little prince Rui Ze to Ye Ling'er to raise by herself. After all, he is her biological son, and I am in poor health now. I am afraid I cannot take good care of Rui Ze." Yunxi said weakly.
"How could my beloved concubine suddenly become so ill? You know medicine, can you diagnose and treat it yourself? Otherwise, please let the imperial physician come to treat you as soon as possible." The emperor said with a worried look on his face.
Yunxi continued to pretend to be pitiful and said, "I don't know why I suddenly fell ill. Maybe it's because the weather has changed so much in the past few days. I was injured when I was fighting outside before, and I can't stand this cold weather." She paused and continued, "I have tried to take some medicine for myself, but there was no improvement, and it got worse. I feel that I can no longer take good care of Ruize, so I beg the emperor to return him to Ye Ling'er to raise. In this way, I can concentrate on recuperating, and Ruize can also get better care." After that, Yunxi began to cough violently, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.
The emperor recalled the war that broke out on the border a few years ago. Yunxi had fought on the battlefield without caring about her personal safety and was seriously injured. He patted Yunxi's back with heartache and comforted her, "Don't worry, my dear concubine. Take a good rest first. I will send someone to summon the imperial physician to treat you immediately. As for Rui Ze's matter, we will talk about it after you recover from your illness."
Yunxi nodded gratefully, leaning on the emperor's arms, feeling secretly proud. She knew that as long as she could continue to win the emperor's sympathy and trust, everything would go smoothly according to her plan.
The imperial physician quickly arrived at the palace, and after checking Yunxi's pulse, he reported to the emperor with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi's condition is indeed quite serious, and she needs to be carefully nursed back to health for a period of time."
The emperor was furious: "You are a bunch of useless people. You can't even cure Concubine Xi's illness. What's the point of keeping you!" The imperial doctors were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Yunxi pretended to persuade him, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This has nothing to do with the doctors. It's my poor health that has caused trouble for everyone."
The emperor sighed helplessly and ordered: "No matter what method you use, you must cure my beloved concubine's illness."
Then, he turned to look at Yunxi and said gently, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will arrange the best imperial doctors and palace maids to take care of you. As for Rui Ze, let's give him back to Ye Ling'er for the time being. I will make plans after you recover."
Yunxi was secretly happy, but on the surface she still pretended to be weak. After thanking the emperor, she lay down to rest. In the following days, Yunxi focused on recuperating while paying close attention to Ye Ling'er and Rui Ze's movements.
Ye Ling'er was ecstatic because she regained custody of her son.
In Xiuzhen Palace, Ye Ling'er hugged the little prince tightly, her eyes full of love and tenderness. She gently stroked the little prince's face, feeling his warm skin, her heart filled with joy.
"Rui Ze, my baby, your mother can finally take good care of you!" Ye Ling'er murmured to herself, with a hint of sob in her voice.
The little prince seemed to feel his mother's love. He blinked his big eyes and showed Ye Ling'er an innocent smile. Ye Ling'er's heart melted, and she couldn't help but kiss the little prince on the forehead.
In the following days, Ye Ling'er put all her thoughts on the little prince. She personally fed him, coaxed him to sleep, and changed his diapers, paying great attention to every detail. The little prince thrived under her care and became more and more lovely.
However, Ye Ling'er was not satisfied with this. She knew very well that the emperor valued Ruize. Once Yunxi recovered from her illness, the emperor would probably change his mind. Since she had no status, it was hard to guarantee that the emperor would not give Ruize to Yunxi to raise again.
Therefore, Ye Ling'er began to plan how to consolidate her position in the palace. She knew that in order to win back the emperor's favor, she must have enough wisdom and means.
Ye Linger began to actively participate in various activities in the palace, often went to Yongshou Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, and established good relationships with Mei Fei, Zhu Cairen, etc., helping each other and jointly coping with various challenges in the palace. At the same time, she did not forget to use her beauty and charm to attract the emperor's attention again.
In this process, Ye Ling'er gradually learned how to get along with others, how to grasp the opportunity, and how to be invincible in the palace struggle. Her efforts were not in vain, and the emperor paid more and more attention to her. Because of the little prince, the emperor also came to Xiuzhen Palace from time to time.
Finally, on a sunny day, the emperor was deeply moved by Ye Ling'er's sincere maternal love for the little prince. He realized that Ye Ling'er was the little prince's biological mother after all, and was the most suitable person to take care of the little prince. So the emperor decided to re-canonize her as Ye Shufei.
The news spread throughout the palace, and people were talking about this lucky woman. Ye Ling'er used her own means to regain the emperor's recognition. She was grateful and determined to repay the emperor's trust with more love.
Since then, Ye Ling'er has used her son to regain the emperor's favor. She knows that this favor is not easy to obtain, but needs to be managed and cared for with care. She puts all her energy into taking care of her son and accompanies him as he grows up every day. At the same time, she also pays attention to the emperor's needs and tries her best to satisfy him.
However, Ye Ling'er has not forgotten her original intention at this time - to protect her son. She knows that the palace is full of countless dangers and conspiracies. She must always be vigilant and constantly improve her abilities to protect this hard-earned happiness.
As time went by, Ye Ling'er's position seemed to become more and more stable. Gradually, she became a highly regarded figure in the palace.
But Ye Ling'er clearly knows that this is just the beginning. The road ahead is still long, and she still needs to face many challenges. Whether it is pressure from within the palace or from the outside world, she must face it bravely. Because only in this way can she truly protect everything she cherishes.
Although the road ahead is full of unknowns, Ye Ling'er is full of confidence. She firmly believes that as long as she has faith and moves forward courageously, she will be able to overcome any difficulties. She will continue to move forward firmly and work hard for the happiness of herself and her son.
