Ruyi looked at Li Yu with a serious expression, "Li Yu, you have to be more careful when serving the emperor. I want you to report to me the emperor's physical condition, who he met every day, and what he said."

If Li Yu and Jiang Yubin together can't stop the emperor, it seems that she can only do it herself. After all, the emperor will not listen to anyone except her.

Li Yu was slightly stunned, then he understood Ruyi's painstaking efforts, and quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best. But there are many eyes and ears in this palace, so I need to be careful and cautious to avoid being discovered."

The hint is so obvious, I think Ruyi will be more careful in the future and won't leak any information again.

Ruyi nodded, "I understand your difficulties. You just need to keep an eye on it secretly, and don't alert the enemy. The emperor's health is the most important thing. We must understand the real situation before we can find a way to deal with it."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission. I will keep an eye on it now and report to Your Majesty immediately if there is any news." After saying that, Li Yu retreated.

Ruyi sat in the chair, lost in thought.

She knew the emperor's temper very well, and once a decision was made it was difficult to change it easily.

Now that the emperor is so anxious about his physical condition and is obsessed with some inappropriate conditioning methods, she is very worried.

"Qingmei, why do you think the emperor is so eager to recover?" Ruyi asked softly. Could it be because she lost a child and the emperor has been brooding over it, so he wants to give her another child?

Qingmei thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is very busy and all the state affairs are on his shoulders. Perhaps he feels that his physical condition will affect the government, so he is in a hurry to achieve results."

Ruyi shook her head slightly, "It's natural that the emperor cares about the country. But recuperating needs to be gradual, not hasty. I am the only one who can make him so willful. He wants to have my child."

Qingmei was stunned for a moment, but finally chose to follow Ruyi's words, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Ruyi sighed. For the sake of the emperor's face and his affection for her, she could not directly reject the emperor's kindness.

A few days later, Li Yu took advantage of no one's attention and quietly came to Yikun Palace. When Ruyi saw him coming, she hurriedly asked, "Li Yu, is there any news?"

Li Yu lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor's spirit seems to be not very good these days, and he often looks tired. Yesterday, the emperor summoned Doctor Jiang again to inquire about the progress of his health care."

"Imperial Doctor Jiang still advised the emperor to be patient and not to rush for results. Although the emperor did not get angry, it was obvious that he was a little unhappy."

Ruyi frowned, "Did the emperor meet anyone else?"

Li Yu replied, "I heard that Jinzhong also served the emperor. However, I don't know what he said specifically. I just feel that Jinzhong seems to be particularly active recently and walks around the palace."

Ruyi's heart trembled, "Jinzhong has always had ulterior motives. His actions must be guarded against. I'm afraid he will tip off Changchun Palace. You should continue to keep an eye on him and see what he is up to."

Li Yu nodded and replied, "Yes, your Majesty. Also, after the morning court today, the Emperor was a little overwhelmed when discussing state affairs with several ministers in the Imperial Study. I could feel the Emperor's fatigue while serving him."

Ruyi was a little worried. "Li Yu, you must be more careful and report any abnormalities to me in time."

Li Yu responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand. By the way, Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Jiang asked me to tell you that he will do his best to take care of the emperor, but he also hopes that Your Majesty can persuade the emperor to cooperate with the care when appropriate."

Ruyi nodded slightly. Jiang Yubin was indeed on her side. This also proved that apart from her, no one else could be considered the emperor, not even Fucha.

"I understand. Tell Doctor Jiang to treat the emperor with peace of mind. I will find a chance to persuade the emperor."

Ruyi curled her lips in satisfaction.

After Li Yu left, Ruyi paced in the palace and thought. She knew that it was not easy to persuade the emperor, and she needed to find a suitable time and method.

"Qingmei, go and prepare some light snacks and nourishing soups. Tomorrow, we will go to see the emperor." Ruyi ordered.

Qingmei responded, "Yes, my lady."

The next day, Ruyi brought snacks prepared by Qingmei to the emperor's bedroom. The emperor was reviewing memorials and looked up slightly when he saw Ruyi coming.

"Ruyi, why are you here?"

Ruyi walked forward with a smile and sat beside the emperor. "Your Majesty, I heard that you were not feeling well recently and I was very worried. I specially prepared some snacks for you, I hope you can try them."

She had completely forgotten what she had said before: all snacks and soups were means of currying favor.

The emperor put down the pen in his hand and said, "You are really thoughtful."

Ruyi gently patted the emperor's shoulders, "Your Majesty, it takes time to recover, you must not be too anxious. Doctor Jiang is the most skilled doctor in the palace, you must trust him and cooperate with his treatment."

The emperor sighed, "I know that too. But I feel that my health is getting worse day by day, and I am really a little anxious."

Ruyi didn't think anything of it. "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. With God's blessing, you will get better slowly. But you should also pay more attention to rest on weekdays and not overwork yourself."

The emperor said nothing.

Ruyi looked at the emperor and hesitated for a moment. "Your Majesty, I heard that you wanted to drink deer blood wine to recuperate. Although this deer blood wine has certain nourishing effects, it is too strong and not suitable for your current physical condition. Doctor Jiang's concerns are also reasonable. You must not take the risk and try it."

The emperor frowned slightly. It seemed that the news was indeed spread by Li Yu. "I know you are all doing this for my own good. But I also want to recover as soon as possible so that I can handle state affairs."

Ruyi seemed unaware of the emperor's mood changes and continued muttering to herself.

"Your Majesty, government affairs are important, but your health is even more important. Only when you are healthy can you govern the country better. If you damage your foundation because you are anxious to recuperate, it will be more trouble than gain."

The emperor was already a little impatient, "Ruyi, you are right. I will consider it carefully."

Seeing that the emperor had relaxed, Ruyi felt relieved. She chatted with the emperor about some family matters, hoping to make him feel more relaxed.

Qingmei didn't know how to persuade her own queen to shut up.

The emperor simply found an excuse himself to deal with government affairs and asked Ruyi to go back.

Li Yu realized that this was not going to work in the long run, so he took advantage of the emperor's upset and went to see Ruyi again.

"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about the emperor's health these days. I have specially inquired and found that our Qing Dynasty royal ancestors also had the habit of taking deer blood wine before entering the country."

Ruyi frowned, not understanding why he suddenly changed his tone.

"In fact, I think that if the amount is reduced appropriately during preparation, it may not only be harmless to the body, but also help strengthen the body, nourish the kidneys and improve the essence."

Ruyi frowned slightly and disagreed, "Li Yu, this matter cannot be judged lightly. Deer blood wine has a strong medicinal effect. Even if the dosage is reduced, it may not be completely safe. Doctor Jiang has always acted cautiously. He must have his own considerations."

Li Yu watched Ruyi speak for Jiang Yubin, and added a few more words reluctantly, "Your Majesty, I know that Imperial Physician Jiang is a skilled doctor, but I'm wondering, he's so focused on Lady Suo Xin right now, is it because he's too anxious to go out and take care of her that he's playing it safe in treating the Emperor and doesn't dare to make any big moves?"

"After all, the emperor's health is of great importance. If there is a better way, maybe you can give it a try. It can also show your care and concern for the emperor..."

Ruyi was silent for a moment. She knew Li Yu's loyalty to the emperor and understood his concerns, but she still had to think about it carefully.

"Li Yu, I understand your thoughts, but this matter is of great importance. We cannot act rashly based on speculation. Jiang Yubin is a capable person in the Imperial Hospital. He must have thought deeply about the emperor's condition. We still cannot act rashly."

Li Yu nodded, but still looked worried. "Your Majesty, I am also worried about the emperor's health. The emperor has been working hard for state affairs all day and is now weak. If we can find an effective way to make the emperor recover as soon as possible, it will be a blessing for the country. Your Majesty should consider my words carefully."

At this time, Yihuan happened to pass by here. She originally wanted to come to the Imperial Garden to relax, but she accidentally overheard the conversation between Li Yu and Ruyi.

Yihuan's heart moved. She hadn't seen the emperor for a long time. Since the birth of the child, the emperor had only visited them very few times.
