Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty: The Beloved Princess Uses a System to Change the Plot

Not long after returning to Kunning Palace, Mu Yue received a medical book sent by Consort Tong.

The Empress was somewhat puzzled as she watched the palace servants from Chengqian Palace carrying boxes of medical books into Kunning Palace.

She frowned slightly and parted her somewhat pale lips, "Consort Tong, what are you doing?"

The nanny in charge of delivering the books bowed respectfully and said a few simple words.

The Empress never imagined that Mu Yue would have such thoughts.

She couldn't help but glance at her daughter sitting next to her in surprise, but quickly looked away.

Only after the people from Chengqian Palace had left did the Empress frown and ask, "Yue'er had such thoughts, why didn't you tell your mother, the Empress?"

"If Yue'er likes medical books, Your Majesty can have them prepared by others. Why bother Consort Tong?"

As soon as Emperor Kangxi arrived at Kunning Palace, he heard the Empress's words.

He strode into Kunning Palace with some curiosity and asked, "When did Yue'er become interested in medical books?"

"If she likes medical books, I have a few in my imperial study. I'll have Liang Ruhai send them to Yue'er later!"

Mu Yue never expected such a pleasant surprise.

She immediately hugged Kangxi excitedly, "Thank you, Father Emperor!"

"Yue'er went to the Imperial Hospital today, but the head of the Imperial Hospital was unwilling to lend her medical books. Fortunately, Consort Tong has quite a few books, otherwise Yue'er would not have had the chance to read them!"

Upon hearing Mu Yue's words, Emperor Kangxi immediately frowned.

It's just a few medical books, why is Dr. Li so stingy?

But why would Yue'er suddenly become interested in medical books?

Setting aside his dissatisfaction with Imperial Physician Li, Kangxi asked, seemingly casually, "Why did Yue'er suddenly decide to look at medical books?"

Could it be that the Empress's health has deteriorated again?

Despite the fact that the Imperial Hospital checked the Empress's pulse every month and prescribed a lot of medicine, the Empress's complexion did not improve.

Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied with Chief Inspector Li.

Mu Yue understood Kangxi's personality.

She brought up Dean Li on purpose.

Now that I know that Dean Li dislikes me, I naturally have to find out why.

But she was just a child, and the people taking care of her were all arranged by the Empress, so she had no way to investigate the matter independently.

However, she did not want the Empress, who was unwell, to investigate these matters, so she could only mention Imperial Physician Li to Emperor Kangxi and ask him to investigate.

Hearing that Emperor Kangxi had not mentioned Imperial Physician Li, Mu Yue felt a little disappointed.

But she didn't show it; instead, she obediently answered Kangxi's question.

"My mother is having a terrible cough and looks very unwell. I'm very worried about her, so I want to learn some medical skills."

"Moreover, some time ago, Yue'er and Brother Baocheng contracted smallpox. Yue'er wants to see if there are any ways to prevent or treat smallpox in medical books. If a solution can be found, people won't have to be so afraid of smallpox!"

Emperor Kangxi was stunned when he heard Mu Yue's words.

He never imagined that Mu Yue would want to read medical books for this reason.

You know, medical books are dry and boring, and the contents and prescriptions need to be verified one by one, which takes a lot of time.

Yue'er is only four years old now, a lively age, and she has no patience to study the contents of medical books.

However, it is truly rare for a child to have such a thoughtful intention.

Kangxi didn't want to discourage Mu Yue, so he said helplessly, "Does Yue'er know how difficult this is?"

"During the time when you and Baocheng contracted smallpox, everyone in the Imperial Hospital was researching how to treat it, but they were helpless. In the end, Baocheng had to pull through on his own."

Mu Yue knew, of course.

If it weren't for the gene serum he provided, Bao Cheng would probably be dead by now.

Given the Empress Dowager's health, upon learning of Bao Cheng's passing, she would undoubtedly follow suit and leave immediately.

Fortunately, there is a system.

Despite having many thoughts in my mind, not much time had passed.

Mu Yue looked at Kangxi and said earnestly, "No matter what, Yue'er wants to try it!"

"Both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Father say that Yue'er is lucky. Maybe Yue'er can discover things that others can't!"

After all, she also possessed the good fortune bestowed upon her by the Imperial Observatory.

Even if the "Smallpox Prevention Manual" was discovered, it could be attributed to luck.

"Father, you must let Yue'er give it a try!"

The Empress noticed that Mu Yue was particularly concerned about this matter and assumed that she was frightened by the Crown Prince's critical illness.

Worried that Mu Yue might not get her way, and that she would keep thinking about it, the Empress couldn't help but speak up for Mu Yue.

"Your Majesty, Yue'er is only trying to be filial. Why not let her give it a try?"

"If a good method to prevent smallpox is discovered, it will be a good thing for the entire Qing Dynasty."

The empress had barely spoken a few words when she couldn't help but cover her lips and cough.

Ignoring everything else, Kangxi rushed forward to support the Empress, asking with concern, "Why isn't your cough better yet?"

"Are all those people in the Imperial Medical Academy useless?!"

The Empress took the warm water Mu Yue offered, took a small sip, and said gently, "My health has always been like this. It's just that the change of seasons has made me cough more. I'll be fine in a few days!"

"What does Your Majesty think of my suggestion?"

Emperor Kangxi did not rush to answer.

He looked down at Mu Yue, who was hugging his leg and looking expectantly at him, and said with a smile, "Yue'er's sincerity is so great, I will naturally not refuse!"

"Since Yue'er is interested in medical books, I will arrange for the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to teach her. Perhaps Yue'er can discover something that others cannot!"

If a way to prevent and control smallpox could be found, it would be a great blessing for the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking about Mu Yue's good fortune over the years, Kangxi couldn't help but feel a bit more expectant.

With Emperor Kangxi's permission, Mu Yue went to the Imperial Hospital early the next morning.

The people in the Imperial Medical Academy were busy at work.

Mu Yue casually pulled a young apprentice aside and asked, "Where are all the medical books from the Imperial Medical Academy?"

The young apprentice, upon seeing Mu Yue's attire, knew she was someone he couldn't afford to offend, and immediately explained in detail, "The Imperial Medical Academy's collection of books is all in one room, and you need the abbot to lead you in, but the abbot is not here today, so..."

The young apprentice looked at Mu Yue with a troubled expression.

He was terrified that his answer would displease Mu Yue and bring about his death.

Mu Yue ignored the somewhat nervous apprentice and asked with some curiosity, "Where did your academy director go?"

"The academy envoy was punished, he was hit with a stick several times, and he should be recuperating!"

The young apprentice's tone was somewhat uncertain.

He only heard it from others and didn't know much about the specifics.

However, he was still quite happy with the result.

Dean Li has an eccentric personality and dislikes others showing that they are better than him.

If someone gains the favor of a noble person in the palace, Imperial Censor Li will make trouble for that person.

This led to the Imperial Medical Academy almost becoming a one-man show run by Director Li.

He had a fellow townsman who was tormented by Imperial Censor Li and ended up as a scapegoat, losing his life in the palace.

Seeing that Mu Yue was interested in this matter, the young apprentice continued, "Yesterday, the Imperial Physician was summoned by His Majesty, but we don't know what he did, he was carried back!"

"They must have offended His Majesty!"

As they were talking, the young apprentice had already led Mu Yue to the room in the Imperial Medical Academy where medical books and prescriptions were stored.
