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

Kangxi and Muyue looked down.

Mu Yue immediately recognized the person who spoke; he had just been defending Dean Li.

Indeed, when it comes to self-interest, there are no friends.

Ultimately, protecting Governor Li was not as important as his own future.

She remained silent.

Now is not the time for her to speak.

"A meritorious service at the cost of a crime?"

Kangxi repeated the other person's words word by word, as if he were asking a question or mocking the speaker.

"Even if you don't tell me, I have ways of finding out the truth. You don't think that threatens me, do you?"

Emperor Kangxi did not intend to waste any more time. He waved his hand, and a guard stepped forward to take the man away.

"Your Majesty...this servant knows his mistake. Your Majesty...this servant knows a lot about Imperial Physician Li..."

The man refused to give up and continued to struggle.

But Emperor Kangxi ignored it.

He glanced at the crowd kneeling on the ground and said, "What excellent servants you are!"

After saying this, Kangxi didn't even glance at the group of people. He simply picked up Muyue, turned around, and strode towards Kunning Palace.

This matter is related to Brother Baocheng after all, and we don't know how Father Emperor will deal with these people.

As Mu Yue pondered, she found herself lost in her own thoughts.

Emperor Kangxi noticed his daughter's thoughtful expression in his arms and became somewhat interested.

He asked gently, "What are you thinking about, Yue'er?"

Mu Yue didn't intend to hide her thoughts and immediately said, "Yue'er is thinking about what Physician Zhang said."

"Was Brother Baocheng really critically ill because of Imperial Physician Li? Yue'er feels that the events of the past few days are too coincidental, as if someone deliberately wanted Yue'er to know these things!"

Mu Yue didn't find it strange at first, but then she realized something was wrong.

Even though she was a legitimate princess, she had no real power.

Anyone with a clear head wouldn't consider themselves a reliable support.

They would never confide these sensitive matters to themselves.

Zhang Hai's act of treating himself as a powerful backer seems rather ridiculous.

Mu Yue has memories of her past life, and sometimes she unconsciously acts like an adult.

So at first she didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Hai's behavior.

But now that I've come to my senses, I realize something is wrong.

When Kangxi heard Mu Yue's words, he smiled and patted her head.

Ever since he heard the news that his daughter was bullying servants in the Imperial Hospital, he felt that something was wrong.

It's like someone deliberately wants me to know something.

Or perhaps she wishes she disliked Yue'er.

Although Emperor Kangxi knew that this was a deliberate scheme, he still rushed here out of concern for Mu Yue.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal his thoughts.

Seeing Mu Yue's conflicted expression, he said gently, "For Yue'er's age, it's already quite impressive that she reacted so quickly."

"Father will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Mu Yue had great faith in Kangxi's abilities.

She nodded immediately, putting on an obedient look.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at Kunning Palace.

Emperor Kangxi briefly recounted what had happened in the Imperial Hospital.

When the Empress heard that the Crown Prince's critical illness was not an accident but a deliberate act, her already pale face turned even paler.

His frail body swayed precariously.

Mu Yue quickly reached out to help the Empress.

She was only four years old; how could she possibly have the strength to lift up an adult?

Thanks to Emperor Kangxi's timely intervention, the Empress was able to regain her balance.

The empress took medicine regularly, and a very distinct herbal scent could be smelled if you got close.

Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly, but before he could speak, the Empress noticed his expression and distanced herself from him.

The Empress looked somewhat guilty. "I smell of herbs on me, which is not pleasant. Your Majesty should keep your distance to avoid catching the illness."

At the same time, a sense of disappointment rose in her heart.

She and Emperor Kangxi were a young couple, and after so many years together, she had long harbored feelings of love for him.

Even if she is dignified and generous and knows how to hide her emotions, she can't help but feel a little frustrated when faced with the resistance from someone she cares about.

Kangxi naturally did not overlook his wife's expression.

He finally understood where Bao Cheng's somewhat sensitive nature came from.

He sighed helplessly and said to the Empress, "It's not that I dislike the smell of herbs on the Empress, but I feel that the Empress's illness has been intermittent over the years. She has taken a lot of medicine, but her health has not improved. Is it because the servants and imperial physicians have not taken good care of her?"

"It just so happens that the incident involving Imperial Physician Li has occurred. I intend to thoroughly investigate the Imperial Hospital and then find a different imperial physician to treat the Empress."

The Empress's mood improved considerably upon seeing Kangxi's concern.

Her originally pale face now had a touch more color.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However, Imperial Physician Chen has treated me for so many years and knows my health very well. If it were someone else, I'm afraid..."

It took a lot of effort for the family to bribe Imperial Physician Chen.

If it were someone else, who knows if they would add anything they shouldn't to their medicine?

Emperor Kangxi was not discussing this with the Empress.

He immediately said with some displeasure, "Imperial Physician Chen has been taking care of you for so long, but there has been no effect. It's either because he hasn't been taking good care of you, or because his medical skills are limited."

"The Empress is the mother of the nation; her health is naturally important. Don't put the cart before the horse!"

Upon hearing this, even if the Empress was unwilling, she could only silently agree.

But deep down, he felt a bit resentful and didn't say anything more.

The Kunning Palace suddenly became exceptionally quiet.

Mu Yue glanced at Kangxi, then at the Empress.

Noticing that both of them looked somewhat displeased, Mu Yue couldn't help but feel conflicted.

She wanted to do something to change the oppressive atmosphere.

Suddenly her gaze fell upon the basic medical books she had brought back.

Thinking of her initial plan, Mu Yue's eyes lit up instantly.

While Kangxi and the Empress were confronting each other, she tiptoed to the place where the medical books were kept and opened them.

In an attempt to attract the attention of Emperor Kangxi and the Empress, she turned the pages of the book with considerable force.

The book creaked as it was turned, distracting the Empress and Emperor Kangxi.

The medical book was quite old, and with all the force I used to flip through it, it quickly fell apart.

Yellowed sheets of paper, along with a bit of dust, drifted in the air.

It quickly attracted the attention of Emperor Kangxi and the Empress.

Noticing Mu Yue's actions, Kangxi frowned slightly, his tone somewhat serious, "Yue'er wants medical books, is this how you read them?"

Mu Yue looked at Kangxi and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, "Yue'er didn't mean it."

Kangxi's expression remained somewhat serious.

Mu Yue glanced at Kangxi furtively and explained in a low voice, "Yue'er was just a little excited when she saw the words 'smallpox,' so she accidentally used a little too much force. I didn't expect... I didn't expect to damage the medical book!"
