"Princess, you're finally awake!"

"Her Majesty the Empress was very worried upon learning that you and His Highness the Crown Prince had contracted smallpox, but due to the situation in the inner palace, she was unable to take care of you personally..."

Mu Yue listened to the worried yet slightly surprised voice of her personal maid Chunju, and her expression became somewhat dazed.

A multitude of images flashed through my mind.

She was originally an ordinary history enthusiast in the 21st century.

In her quest to learn more about history, she consulted numerous historical materials, but the exhaustion over the course of her days led to her sudden death.

Unexpectedly, after her death, she became the twin sister of Yinreng, whom she had always loved.

The Empress Dowager, who was supposed to die on the day of childbirth, also survived.

This place... shouldn't be the Qing Dynasty in history!

She wanted her brother, the Crown Prince, to ascend the throne smoothly!

She remembered that the records showed that Crown Prince Yinreng contracted smallpox in the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign and survived it safely.

Thinking of what Chunju had just said, Muyue immediately realized that it must be the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the year the Crown Prince contracted smallpox.

Crown Prince Yinreng has no mother. Will my existence affect the safety of my elder brother, the Crown Prince?

Thinking of this, Mu Yue disregarded her own health and hurriedly looked at Chunju not far away, "Where is Brother Baocheng?"

"I remember my brother got smallpox before me, how is he now?"

The child had a childish voice, yet spoke like a little adult.

In the past, the palace maids and nannies around would have been unable to help but smile knowingly.

But thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince, who was still suffering from a high fever before he even got smallpox, the nannies couldn't help but show a bitter expression on their faces.

If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't make it through, they will certainly not have a good ending.

The nannies were worried about their own safety, and for a moment no one answered Mu Yue's question.

Mu Yue was anxious and immediately wanted to get up and go next door to check on her brother.

Before she could even get out of bed, Chunju stopped her.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? Your fever has just subsided, and you are still very weak. You need to rest!"

As Chunju spoke, she tried to put Muyue back on the bed.

Mu Yue grew anxious as she watched Chunju's actions.

"I want to see Brother Baocheng!"

She even forgot to refer to herself as "this Empress," and hurriedly tried to get out of bed again.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has a dedicated nanny and wet nurse to take care of him, and he will recover soon, so the princess need not worry!"

Chunju stepped forward again to dissuade her.

Mu Yue didn't believe Chun Ju at all.

If Bao Cheng's condition really improved, why would the nanny and the others look so worried?

It's likely that Bao Cheng's current condition isn't very good.

Just as Mu Yue was worrying about her brother next door, all the palace servants around her suddenly knelt down and shouted, "Greetings, Your Majesty..."

When Mu Yue came to her senses, she saw a tall man standing in front of her, with a few freckles on his face, but still exuding an air of grandeur.

The memories in her mind reminded her that the person in front of her was her imperial father—Aisin Gioro Xuanye.

Before she could react, she was picked up by a pair of warm, broad hands.

Despite having memories of her past life, Mu Yue didn't feel much of it as a reality.

Perhaps because she was too young, she couldn't control her emotions and sobbed as she threw herself into Kangxi's arms.

"Father... Brother Baocheng... will something happen to him...?"

Compared to the Crown Prince, who was crucial to the nation's stability, Emperor Kangxi clearly favored his daughter Muyue more.

Hearing her voice tremble with tears, he hurriedly said, "The imperial physicians in the palace are exceptionally skilled; I guarantee Cheng will be alright!"

Knowing that the two children had a good relationship, Kangxi looked somewhat helpless.

He immediately changed the subject, "I heard from the nanny who serves you that you have smallpox. I suppose you will be completely healed in a few days and be able to move back to Kunning Palace!"

If it were Mu Yue who hadn't yet awakened her memories of her past life, she might have been distracted by his words.

But she can't do it now.

Her slightly reddened eyes looked at the room next door, as if she could see her brother suffering through the wall.

"Father, is there really no way to cure smallpox?"

Mu Yue never imagined that she would one day become Kangxi's daughter, nor did she know anything about smallpox prevention or control, let alone possess any remarkable skills.

The only thing we can rely on is our understanding of our brothers' future.

At that moment, she wished she could travel back in time and learn more useful things!

With red-rimmed eyes and her small hands clutching Kangxi's dragon robe, she asked, choking back tears, "Are we just going to stand by and watch our brother suffer...?"

His daughter's innocent words left Emperor Kangxi speechless.

If such a method truly existed, he would certainly promote it immediately.

But nowadays, not many people who contract smallpox can survive.

If Bao Cheng doesn't make it through, Mu Yue, who is known as a lucky star, will probably be called a jinx by others.

The birth of a phoenix and the death of a dragon is not a good omen!

Kangxi lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the thoughtful look in his eyes.

He couldn't answer Mu Yue's question, nor did he have the ability to immediately free Bao Cheng from the torment of smallpox.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of a few people breathing.

Mu Yue knew that her father, the Emperor, was just an ordinary person with ambition and ability, and could not interfere with life and death!

Faced with his own problems, he was unable to answer them or do anything about them.

Just as her fear reached its peak, a voice popped into her mind!

[Host detected. Host is bound. Fate Deviation System 0618 is at your service!]

Having experienced the information explosion in the 21st century, Mu Yue was no stranger to systems.

After all, this is a common "golden finger" feature in novels.

But she never imagined that one day a system would bind her to it.

Could it be that I've traveled to a different part of history than the original one?

Mu Yue's gaze involuntarily fell on the screen in front of her.

[Do you need to access the original book's plot? Yes/No]

The two choices before me, does it mean that I have transmigrated into a Qing Dynasty novel?

If that's the case, perhaps we can use the system's storyline to confirm whether Brother Baocheng survived smallpox.

Thinking of this, Mu Yue stopped staring longingly at the wall and quickly recited "yes" in her mind!

A sharp pain shot through my brain, and a flood of textual information appeared in my mind.

This is a book called "Time Travel in the Qing Dynasty: The Counterattack of Consort De".

The book tells the story of Consort De, who was resentful after the fourth prince Yinzhen ascended the throne. She threatened to kill the fourteenth prince Yinti, but to no avail. After being reborn, she tried to nip the fourth prince in the bud and support the fourteenth prince to take the throne.

Consort De was reborn at the Fourth Prince's full-month celebration.

According to the plot of the book, Consort De is now trying to kill the Fourth Prince, this rebellious son, and at the same time, she wants to use the Fourth Prince's death to gain the Emperor's sympathy and guilt, and eliminate dissidents.

No one in the book knows what Consort De did.

Furthermore, since her elder brother, the Crown Prince, did not survive smallpox, she actually supported the Fourteenth Prince to ascend the throne, just as she had hoped.

But the fourteenth brother had never learned the means of governing a country.

After he came to power, he was unable to stabilize the court, and eventually the entire court became a one-man show by the Uya family.

People's lives are getting worse and worse.

Public voices against the Qing dynasty and for the restoration of the Ming dynasty emerged one after another.

The fourteenth brother didn't hold his position for long before his kingdom was destroyed.

Thinking of the scenes of the common people suffering in the book, Mu Yue felt very dissatisfied with Consort De, a woman whose ambitions outweighed her abilities.

If Consort De is allowed to continue her erratic behavior, the entire royal family may be dragged down with her.

A short-sighted woman is not worth their sacrifice.

She will definitely try her best to change the ending in the book, deal with Consort De, and make the Qing Dynasty better.

"It's terrible! Your Highness... Your Highness has stopped breathing..."

Suddenly, a palace maid serving the crown prince in the next room made a sharp sound.
