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

However, as soon as Kangxi entered Kunning Palace, he noticed the presence of Imperial Physician Chen and naturally would not let him hide.

Seeing the Empress being helped into the room by her maid, he suddenly spoke up, "Imperial Physician Chen, what are you still standing there for?"

Before Imperial Physician Chen could react, Mu Yue ran to his side, tugging at his clothes, her voice urgent, "Uncle Imperial Physician, please help Yue'er's Empress Mother..."

The empress was so angry that she fainted.

Not long after lying down in the inner hall, she slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

She heard noises outside as soon as she woke up.

She struggled to get up, but was stopped by the old woman beside her.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yue pulled Imperial Physician Chen in.

Emperor Kangxi followed closely behind.

When the Empress saw Kangxi appear, she immediately wanted to bow.

"Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities!"

Emperor Kangxi frowned, quickly stepped forward, and helped the Empress, who was about to perform the rites.

It touched the empress's icy palm.

The wrinkles between Kangxi's brows became increasingly deep.

He looked somewhat worried. "The Empress's health hasn't improved. Imperial Physician Chen, how have you been taking care of her?"

Imperial Physician Chen had somewhat anticipated the current situation.

He gave a bitter laugh, offered no further explanation, and simply knelt down with a thud to confess his guilt.

Looking at him like this, Kangxi said with a hint of warning, "Since you know you're wrong, you should be punished."

"You're fined a year's salary! You don't need to come to the Empress's place again."

When Physician Chen heard about the punishment, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Emperor Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi still wore a worried expression, as if he had not punished Imperial Physician Chen at all.

But it was precisely his appearance that made Imperial Physician Chen even more flustered.

He realized that his deal with the Hesheli family had probably been exposed, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't have said such a thing so openly.

This should be a chance for myself, and also a reminder for the Empress.

It seems I'll have to stay away from Hesheli's house from now on.

Imperial Physician Chen made a decision quickly.

Although this was somewhat unfair to the benefits offered by the Hesheri family, his life was still the most important thing.

"The minister obeys the order!"

After saying this, Physician Chen left in a hurry.

The vast inner hall of Kunning Palace was completely silent.

Only the Empress's suppressed cough could be faintly heard.

Mu Yue glanced at the Empress, then at Kangxi, and vaguely sensed that something was amiss between them.

Is Father Emperor angry?

The thought popped into Mu Yue's mind.

She secretly glanced at Kangxi and noticed that the smile on his face had faded considerably compared to before.

Empress Dowager is not in good condition right now. If Father Emperor gets angry, Empress Dowager will definitely become emotional and may faint again.

Mu Yue certainly didn't want such a scene to happen.

She immediately adopted a docile demeanor, ran to the Empress's side, and asked with a hint of worry, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly faint?"

Mu Yue knew in her heart that Kangxi still cared about the Empress.

As long as we remind Father Emperor that Mother Empress is not in good health and had just fainted, even if Father Emperor is angry, he will not lash out at this time.

As expected, Kangxi's expression became more worried.

The Empress naturally noticed the change in Kangxi's expression.

Caring about Emperor Kangxi, she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to play the victim.

Moreover, the thought of Chenghu made her heart ache.

Chenghu's intelligence and understanding are like a combination of Baocheng and Yue'er.

If it weren't for a sudden decline in health, it wouldn't have left me so early.

As the Empress pondered, a bitter expression crept onto her face, and her complexion grew increasingly pale.

Emperor Kangxi did not know what the Empress was thinking, but he did not overlook the changes in her.

He rushed over to the Empress and hugged her tightly. "Take a deep breath and don't think about things that are making you emotional!"

The Empress understood the reasoning.

However, sometimes the brain cannot be completely controlled.

She grasped Kangxi's hand excitedly and said, word by word, "Your Majesty, I implore you to reinvestigate Chenghu's death..."

It was such a simple sentence, yet it was incredibly difficult for the Empress to say it.

When Kangxi mentioned his eldest son who died young, his feelings were quite complicated.

The child was very intelligent and sensible.

When Mingming was born, the imperial physician said that the child was very healthy, but when he turned two, he inexplicably began to weaken.

He eventually fell seriously ill and passed away.

Several years have passed since Chenghu left. He thought the Empress had let go of the past, but now it seems he was overthinking it.

Despite having Bao Cheng and Yue'er, the Empress clearly had not forgotten Cheng Hu.

Emperor Kangxi looked at the Empress, his expression somewhat complicated.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Chenghu died of illness, and he wouldn't want you to worry about him like this!"

The Queen clearly did not accept this answer.

She clung tightly to Kangxi's arm, "That wasn't an accident!"

The empress was too emotional, and her voice sounded somewhat harsh.

Emperor Kangxi frowned and loosened his grip on the Empress's hand slightly.

The Empress was lost in her own thoughts and did not notice Kangxi's actions.

She took a few deep breaths and continued, "Some time ago, someone put something in Yue'er's incense burner. I was worried, so I had Imperial Physician Chen check the incense ash. That's when we discovered that there were some medicinal herbs in the ash that shouldn't be there. These herbs can make people weak without them even realizing it while they're sleeping..."

Emperor Kangxi appeared somewhat shocked upon hearing the Empress's words.

Does such a thing still exist in this world?

Was Chenghu's death really not an accident?

Kangxi suddenly thought of several other children who had died young.

If anyone is indeed plotting against my offspring, I will never let them get away with it.

Kangxi gritted his teeth and ordered the nanny standing to the side, "Bring up the incense ash that the Empress mentioned!"

He didn't trust Physician Chen.

But he also knew that the Empress would never joke about these things with him.

He needs to find someone to carefully verify the composition of the incense ash.

At the same time, find the person the Queen mentioned.

Mu Yue was also frightened by what the Empress said.

She always thought that her brother Chenghu died because her father and mother had a child at a young age, which is why he died young.

But now it seems that the deaths of Brother Chenghu and the other brothers and sisters in the palace may not have been accidents, but rather deliberate.

Who would do such a thing?

Mu Yue was somewhat puzzled, but a strange sense of unease crept into her heart.

She didn't know why the other person would attack her.

More than anything else, she was worried that the other party had also drugged Bao Cheng's brother.

She hurriedly tugged at the Empress's sleeve, "Empress Mother, do you think Brother Baocheng has these too?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Emperor Kangxi and the Empress were only focused on investigating past events, and did not consider that other children in the palace might have also been given this drug.

No wonder Baoqing was able to grow up after being sent out of the palace; it seems there were quite a few spies in the palace.

Emperor Kangxi's face was somewhat gloomy. He hurriedly said to the Empress, "I still have some matters to attend to. Your Majesty, please rest well!"

After saying this, he turned and left.
