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

Just as the Empress was at a loss, her face grew paler and paler, and she was about to faint, the Crown Prince arrived at Kunning Palace with his two younger brothers and one younger sister.

He had originally come with his younger siblings to pay their respects to the Empress, but unexpectedly saw his mother looking like she was about to faint, and his father looking gloomy.

He immediately realized that something bad might have happened.

The Crown Prince moved closer to Mu Yue, frowned, and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Mu Yue felt a mix of emotions upon seeing the Crown Prince appear.

All of this seems to have nothing to do with the Crown Prince, but in reality, traces of his presence are everywhere.

The Empress Dowager wanted to marry herself off to the Hesheli clan in order to completely bring the Hesheli clan onto the Crown Prince's side, using her marriage as a bargaining chip.

If it weren't for the existence of the Crown Prince, perhaps none of these things would have happened.

These thoughts that surfaced in her mind made Mu Yue feel even more resentful towards the Crown Prince.

She nodded, not wanting to pay any attention to the Crown Prince.

But the Crown Prince knew nothing. Seeing Mu Yue's appearance, he couldn't help but show a worried look and asked in a low voice, "Has something important happened that made Yue'er look so unhappy with me?"

Hearing the worry in the Crown Prince's tone, Mu Yue's dissatisfaction subsided somewhat.

Over the years, although the Empress Dowager had been plotted against by her Crown Prince brother several times, he had never done anything to betray her.

They would even prioritize sending any good gifts they received to themselves.

How could she take her anger out on her brother, the Crown Prince, because of what her mother-in-law had done? That would only make her loved ones suffer and her enemies rejoice!

Mu Yue quickly convinced herself.

Her gaze towards the Crown Prince softened, and she said softly, "My mother plotted against me, but my father discovered it!"

A casual remark instantly turned the crown prince's face extremely ugly.

He didn't know why the Empress would scheme against Mu Yue for no reason.

But he was very clear in his heart that if this matter was not handled properly, the Empress would certainly be severely punished.

As the son of the Empress, he and his other younger siblings will likely be affected.

As the elder brother, the Crown Prince naturally did not want this situation to happen.

He frowned, constantly thinking of a solution.

But I couldn't come up with any good ideas for the time being.

Moreover, he was unaware of what the Empress was planning to do to Mu Yue, so he could only remain inactive for the time being.

Although Mu Yue whispered what the Empress had done in the Crown Prince's ear, the people were standing very close together, and Kangxi still heard everything Mu Yue said clearly.

He paid no heed to the whispers of his children behind him, and looked at the Empress with a sharp expression, "Today, for the sake of the Crown Prince and Yue'er, I will not take the lives of these servants in Kunning Palace, but if there is a next time, the Empress should consider how many lives she has left to squander!"

"From today onwards, the affairs of the inner palace will be handed over to the Imperial Noble Consort and Noble Consort Niohuru, etc. When the Empress's mind is clear, she will resume her control of the six palaces!"

After saying these words, Kangxi did not want to look at the Empress's pale and helpless face any longer. He immediately turned around, flicked his sleeves, and left Kunning Palace.

After Emperor Kangxi left, only the Empress and her children remained in Kunning Palace.

Apart from Mu Yue, who experienced the Empress's schemes, the other princes and princesses were well protected by the Empress and had very deep feelings for her.

Seeing the Empress's face drained of color and covered in cold sweat as she collapsed weakly to the ground due to Kangxi's punishment, the children couldn't help but show worry on their faces. The Crown Prince was the first to rush to the Empress's side and reach out to support her.

"Empress Mother, Yue'er is also your daughter. Isn't there some misunderstanding? Why does Father think you would scheme against Yue'er?"

The crown prince's tone was somewhat puzzled; he did not believe what Mu Yue had just said.

I feel like there's some misunderstanding about this.

Even if the Empress Dowager and Yue'er weren't very close, she wouldn't go so far as to scheme against Yue'er!

The Crown Prince was thinking this to himself.

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the Empress reached out and grabbed his wrist. "Baocheng, you are your father's most valued son. Go and plead for the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager cannot lose her power in the palace. If she loses her power, how will she protect your younger brothers and sisters in the future?"

The Empress's answer greatly disappointed the Crown Prince.

He realized that what his sister had just said might not have been a misunderstanding, but rather that his mother, the Empress Dowager, had indeed plotted against her.

But why would the Empress Dowager do this?

Scheming against her younger sister would only alienate her from her mother and make her father unhappy with her mother's actions. It would bring her no benefit at all. Why would she do such a thing? Was she misled by the servants?

The crown prince frowned, his feelings somewhat complicated.

Yinhu, standing to the side, guessed some of the Empress's plans from her expression.

He walked up to the Empress with a frosty expression, his tone indifferent, "Empress Mother, even now, you still haven't figured out what's truly more important in the palace!"

"With the Crown Prince sitting in this position, many people are already watching you. You think your actions are flawless, but someone has already guessed your plans from your every word and deed and informed Father Emperor in advance. Everything you've done will only make Father Emperor dissatisfied with the Crown Prince and Kunning Palace, and has no other value."

Yin Hu's words, which had a somewhat lecturing tone, made the Empress even more unsettled.

Ignoring the other servants still present in Kunning Palace, she said with a somewhat ferocious expression, "I'm doing all this for you!"

"I am well aware of Bao Cheng's position. He is not sitting securely. Many people are eyeing the spot where Bao Cheng sits. I only hope to protect Bao Cheng and give him more insects."

“Baocheng is your elder brother. We are all in the same boat. Shouldn’t you make some sacrifices to help your elder brother protect everything he has right now?”

As the Empress spoke, her obsessive gaze remained fixed on Mu Yue, who was standing at the door.

Clearly, her words were directed at Mu Yue.

The Crown Prince was taken aback when he heard the Empress's words.

He wasn't stupid, and he quickly understood why everything that had happened that day had started. The thought that he was the culprit made his expression turn ugly.

The Crown Prince, his face grim, helped the Empress, who was slumped on the ground, to her feet and said, word by word, "Your Majesty, I do not need your self-righteous kindness, nor do I need my younger siblings to make any sacrifices for my sake!"

"I do not wish for the same thing to happen a second time!"
