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

smallpox?

Could it be that Yue'er's luck was really that good that she discovered a way to prevent smallpox?

Just thinking about it made Emperor Kangxi quite excited.

He ignored everyone else present and immediately leaned down to look at the paper in front of Mu Yue, but he didn't see what he wanted to see.

There wasn't even anything related to smallpox.

His expression immediately turned somewhat ugly, feeling that everything Mu Yue had just said was a lie.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Mu Yue handed the papers in her hand to Kangxi.

"There are the words 'smallpox' on this. Yue'er doesn't recognize the other words, and she doesn't know if it's a way to prevent smallpox!"

The paper in my hand had been processed and looked slightly yellowed, like a medical book. It looked quite old and seemed to be a page from that medical book.

Kangxi didn't have time to think about it carefully; his attention was completely drawn to the ceiling.

He eagerly took the yellowed, somewhat fragile piece of paper from Mu Yue's hand and examined it carefully.

As he read the instructions for smallpox treatment written on the paper, along with some prevention methods he had never heard of before, Kangxi's eyes lit up.

He didn't even care about the palace servants and the empress around him. He took the several pieces of paper that were stuck together and walked out of Kunning Palace.

He wanted to find the imperial physicians and have them carefully examine the contents of the paper to see if they were true or false.

Seeing Kangxi leave in such a hurry, the Empress became somewhat interested in what Mu Yue had just discovered.

Feeling that Mu Yue was too young to provide much information, she asked Chunju, who was beside Mu Yue, "Did anything important happen today?"

Chunju didn't know what was important and what wasn't, so she immediately recounted everything that had happened that day.

As the empress listened, she sensed something was amiss.

Zhang Hai's inexplicable remarks to Yue'er must have been instigated by someone.

The person behind this is probably not after Yue'er; they're most likely after me and Bao Cheng.

That person must be found.

The people behind Dean Li should not be overlooked.

If Bao Chengfu hadn't been incredibly lucky, he probably would have died as a result of Li Yuanshi's scheme.

Just thinking about it made the Queen feel worse.

She summoned her trusted nanny and gave her a few instructions.

A few days later, the Queen received a letter sent to the palace by a trusted confidant of the Hesheri family.

The letter stated that His Majesty had recently arranged for people to study something called cowpox, claiming that those who contracted cowpox had a high survival rate and would not contract smallpox again.

They asked the Empress if she was aware of this matter.

Upon seeing the letter, the Empress instinctively felt that it was related to Mu Yue.

However, she did not reveal a single detail, only stating His Majesty's thoughts in her reply, without sharing them with her.

She knew her family would be disappointed when they saw the letter, but she cared more about her daughter's safety than her family.

If people knew about Yue'er's good fortune, there would definitely be people who would want to take advantage of her.

Some people might even want to kill Yue'er.

As a mother, the Queen would never allow such a thing to happen.

Mu Yue was unaware of this matter, but she could sense that her mother-in-law sometimes looked at her with a complicated expression.

She didn't have mind-reading abilities, so she naturally didn't know what the Empress was thinking, but she could sense the Empress's high regard for her from the data on the favorability display device, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Even though the Empress did not reveal Mu Yue's role in this matter, some clever people still noticed something amiss.

Following the clues, they quickly identified the key figure in the matter—Mu Yue.

That night, Mu Yue was in a deep sleep when the system suddenly exploded in her mind.

[Warning! Warning! The host's life is in danger! Warning...]

A piercing sound echoed in my mind.

Mu Yue was immediately awakened.

The moment she opened her eyes, Mu Yue noticed a dark figure standing beside the incense burner, illuminated by the moonlight streaming through the window.

The other person was slender and didn't look very tall.

His entire body was shrouded in darkness, and only his vague outline could be seen.

Judging from the shadow, the other person seemed to be adding something to their incense burner.

Mu Yue couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, so she naturally couldn't confirm their identity.

She didn't know what the man had added to the incense burner, but she instinctively felt a sense of danger.

Sensing that the other person seemed to glance towards the bed, Mu Yue immediately closed her eyes.

The faint scraping sound of boots hitting the ground could be heard, so distinct in the quiet night.

Step by step, the other person seemed to be getting closer and closer to me.

What on earth is he going to do?

Mu Yue's hands, hidden under the blanket, tightened involuntarily, her body tensed, but she didn't forget to keep her eyes tightly closed.

She didn't know if her acting skills were outstanding, but at this moment, besides closing her eyes and trying her best to remain calm, there was nothing else she could do.

Fortunately, the other person only watched for a while by the bed and did not do anything else.

In this tense state, Mu Yue unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Mu Yue went straight to the incense burner as soon as she woke up.

She knew her own personality; she was definitely not the type of person who could fall asleep under such pressure.

This means that there's something wrong with what the shadowy figure added to the incense burner yesterday.

She opened the incense burner and saw the ashes that had not yet been swept away.

She immediately instructed Chunju, "Bring the incense burner. I have something important to discuss with the Empress Dowager."

Chunju found Muyue's order a bit strange and was about to ask when she saw Muyue's serious expression.

She had never seen Mu Yue with such an expression before.

She immediately realized that something she didn't know might have happened.

Without hesitation, Chunju immediately stepped forward, picked up the incense burner that had not yet been cleaned, and followed Muyue toward the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Mu Yue got up early today and went to the main hall, but the Empress had not yet seen off the other concubines.

Seeing the adorable little dumpling walking towards the main hall with a serious face, Consort Tong couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

Before she could speak, the nanny behind her reminded her, "Your Highness, today is the day your father enters the palace. His Majesty has granted you permission to see Lord Tong!"

Knowing that once he entered the palace, the opportunity to see his family would be rare.

Consort Tong hesitated for a moment, but did not go forward to disturb Mu Yue. Instead, she led the nanny towards the Imperial Study.

Mu Yue didn't notice Consort Tong at all from beginning to end.

She was mentally organizing her thoughts, figuring out how to tell her mother what happened last night without agitating her.

As soon as they entered the main hall, the Empress finally saw all the concubines off.

She half-closed her eyes, supporting her forehead with one hand, as her personal maid massaged her temples while listening to the palace affairs to be handled that day.

"Greetings, Your Highness..."

The empress had just opened her eyes and hadn't even spoken when a figure hurriedly walked in through the door.

"Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince caught a chill last night and has fallen ill!"
