No longer would the Emperor favor her, and her body would not permit it either.
It was possible that even if she was favored, she might not conceive.

Sister Ji suggested a strategy.
"Why not...Your Highness could just speak frankly!"
"The Emperor has never liked beating around the bush; it's best to bring it up directly!"
The Empress nodded thoughtfully.
That's right, I've been married to him for so many years; I certainly know this aspect of his temperament!
Then... let it be straightforward!
Another day, Zhao Junyao visited Jiaofang Hall as usual.
The Empress indeed did not beat around the bush but spoke directly.
