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

With this in mind, Mu Yue skillfully led the prince into a hollow in a rockery.

The holes in the artificial hill were very dark, with only a few rays of sunlight shining through the gaps.

No one usually cleans it, and occasionally some insects and ants crawl by, but the Crown Prince and Mu Yue have already ignored this.

The cramped space made the prince feel very safe. He didn't know when Mu Yue had let go of his wrist, but he didn't leave.

The dim lighting acted as the best shield, concealing the prince's expression.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly asking, "Yue'er, is Brother Baocheng really useless?"

Mu Yue was stunned when she heard the question.

She didn't understand why her brother Baocheng would have such a question.

In the dim light, she grasped the prince's hand and said very earnestly, "In Yue'er's heart, Brother Baocheng is the best and most amazing brother!"

She spoke very earnestly, but the crown prince did not believe her.

Instead, she said dejectedly, "Yue'er just said it casually, and Aunt Chunju and the others left on their own initiative, but when I asked the guards around me to leave, they turned a deaf ear."

"I can't even control the guards around me, so how could I possibly have the ability to take over the Emperor's position someday?"

Mu Yue then realized why the Crown Prince had just asked her to leave.

Bao Cheng was a sensitive person by nature. After Bao Qing and Yin Zhi were brought into the palace, the Emperor felt guilty towards them and usually indulged them.

The Emperor, who originally belonged solely to Brother Baocheng, was given away.

Because of her poor health, the Empress Dowager didn't have much energy to care about Bao Cheng's life. Every time they met, she would only ask a few questions about Bao Cheng's studies.

Brother Baocheng must be overthinking things again because of these matters.

Mu Yue held the Crown Prince's hand, her almond-shaped eyes reflecting his figure, and said, word by word, "Brother Bao Cheng, there's no need to belittle yourself."

“Everyone has their own strengths. These guards are only unwilling to obey Brother Baocheng’s orders because they are afraid of being punished.”

"If Brother Baocheng is bothered by this, why not make an example of them and let them know that they cannot disobey your orders?"

The crown prince looked thoughtful.

He felt that what Mu Yue said made a lot of sense, and perhaps he could give it a try.

He had previously accompanied Emperor Kangxi in receiving ministers and witnessed the methods Kangxi used with them, finding some similarities in their approaches.

"Postpone the plan and take care of yourself."

The prince's thoughts were interrupted by a hoarse voice that suddenly rang out from outside the artificial hill.

He frowned, took his sister's hand, and tried to ascertain the other party's true intentions.

Mu Yue also realized that something was wrong and obediently kept quiet.

Those outside the artificial hill were unaware that two children were hiding in the hollow of the hill, and they spoke without any restraint.

"I don't know what's wrong with this emperor. He's been thoroughly investigating the palace lately. If our identities are exposed, our master's grand plan will be affected."

Mu Yue and the Crown Prince heard everything clearly from inside the artificial hill.

Judging from the man's tone, he was very likely one of the anti-Qing and pro-Ming groups.

Mu Yue and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance, both realizing that they had to remain silent and not let the people outside the artificial hill discover their presence, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

The two tried to remain silent, holding each other's hands and giving each other strength.

“My plan here is progressing very smoothly. Just give me a little more time, and that brainless prince will be able to continue targeting the crown prince.”

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Mu Yue was more concerned about what the other person was saying.

She astutely extracted the key words from the other person's words.

Targeting the Crown Prince?

She glanced at her brother Baocheng, taking advantage of the sliver of sunlight filtering through the artificial hill, and noticed that his brow was furrowed and his expression was very serious.

It's clear that Bao Cheng's brother also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"If you can really get rid of the Tartar prince, then you will be our great hero. When the dynasty is restored, you will be the one who makes the greatest contribution!"

The hoarse male voice was clearly excited, and it involuntarily became a few decibels louder.

Just then, the guards searching for the Crown Prince and Mu Yue arrived at the Imperial Garden.

The guards' commotion alerted the two people who were talking.

They exchanged a glance and quickly searched for a hiding place.

When the guards found the vicinity of the artificial hill, they casually blended into the group of guards.

The Crown Prince and Mu Yue were unaware of what was happening outside, but they instinctively felt that now was not the time to go out.

They patiently huddled in the cramped space until it became quiet outside again, at which point Mu Yue cautiously peeked out.

There were only flowers covering the ground outside the artificial hill, but no guards in sight.

Mu Yue pulled the Crown Prince out of the hole in the artificial hill. The two looked at each other and ran towards the Imperial Study in tacit agreement.

This matter concerns the very foundation of the nation, and we must inform Father Emperor.

To avoid things escalating and becoming difficult to handle.

However, one of them mentioned a brainless prince. Could it be referring to Brother Baoqing?

If it really is Brother Baoqing, then it means that there are anti-Qing and pro-Ming forces hiding around him, and Brother Baoqing may be in danger.

Just thinking about it made Mu Yue quicken her pace with her short legs.

The crown prince, standing to the side, also silently increased his speed.

The Imperial Garden was quite a distance from the Imperial Study, and the two of them ran until they were covered in sweat before they could vaguely see the shadow of the Imperial Study.

The long run left Mu Yue, who hadn't exercised much, feeling a bit weak in the legs.

But she didn't complain of being tired.

It wasn't until she entered the Imperial Study and saw Emperor Kangxi that she felt her legs go weak. Feeling wronged and frightened, she stretched out her chubby arms to Emperor Kangxi, indicating that she wanted a hug.

Kangxi looked at Mu Yue and the Crown Prince with some surprise. He rose from the dragon throne, picked up Mu Yue, and asked with a frown, "Why did you suddenly come to the Imperial Study? Where are the people taking care of you?"

The palace has not been completely cleaned up yet, so it's inevitable that some people will slip through the net.

Bao Cheng and Yue'er have special identities; if something happens to them, it will be a real problem.

Seeing the hint of displeasure on Kangxi's face, Mu Yue immediately hugged him. "Father, Yue'er and Brother Baocheng have discovered something very, very important!"

Kangxi's attention was diverted by Mu Yue's words, and he immediately looked at Mu Yue in his arms.

"Yue'er and Brother Baocheng were hiding in the artificial hill when they heard someone cursing their father, saying that given enough time, they could make the brainless prince target the crown prince."

Mu Yue clearly remembered all the conversations between the two.

But she knew that there were some things that were not suitable to tell Kangxi directly.

So she omitted some details and revealed the other key information.
