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

The Empress had just regained her balance with the help of her maid when she heard the voices of the servants attending to Consort Yi.

She still looked somewhat shaken, but she had to calm herself down.

"We don't know if there will be a second wave after this earthquake. You all protect your master first. I'll have someone set up a tent on the spot. We definitely can't go back to the palace."

The Empress's expression was serious, unlike her usual gentle demeanor, and she quickly gave instructions to the palace servants around her.

When the palace servants heard the Empress's voice, they felt as if they had found a pillar of support.

They immediately began to take action.

Although the current situation is not optimistic, they still managed to quickly set up a tent where Consort Yi could lie down.

Meanwhile, some servants delivered the news to Emperor Kangxi, while others went to the Imperial Hospital.

Not long after the arrangements were made, the ground began to shake again.

Having learned from their previous experience, the palace servants were no longer as panicked as before.

They helped each other to steady themselves and survived the earthquake.

Immediately afterwards, they got busy again.

The eunuch sent by Emperor Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the orderly scene before him.

He hurriedly walked towards the Empress's side.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is already aware of Consort Yi's childbirth."

The Empress hurriedly looked at the eunuch who had spoken.

"Your Majesty, is there anything else to say?"

The eunuch nodded. "His Majesty said he has great faith in Your Majesty's abilities and that Your Majesty will surely be able to stabilize the situation and prevent any trouble."

"This earthquake has many implications. The entire capital city is within the area affected by the earthquake. His Majesty is overwhelmed and can only entrust the safety of Consort Yi and the young prince to Your Highness."

From the tone of the messenger's voice, the Empress sensed the Emperor's trust in her.

A smile instantly bloomed on his pale face.

"I will certainly not betray Your Majesty's trust!"

But the Empress also knew that her energy was limited and she could not take care of everything.

Then she turned her gaze to Consort Tong and Consort Niohuru, who had previously handled palace affairs with her.

"My two sisters, now is not the time for you to shirk your responsibilities!"

Consort Tong and Consort Niohuru immediately understood the Empress's meaning.

They didn't refuse, and without saying a word, they ordered the palace servants around them to get busy.

Looking at everything so well-organized, Mu Yue couldn't help but feel happy.

That dream-entering technique really paid off.

I wonder how things are going with Father Emperor.

It's unclear whether the system sensed her thoughts or something else entirely.

Suddenly, items from the system's shop appeared before Mu Yue's eyes.

The first one in line is the Water Mirror.

[Water Mirror: 100 points, single-use item]

It allows observation of the selected object's every move, and takes effect after twelve hours. [Maximum two people can be selected]

100 points isn't much for Mu Yue right now, and the effect of this water mirror does sound pretty good.

She wanted to see the situation in various parts of the capital, but the Water Mirror could only be used on two people. She had to think carefully and decide who to use it on.

Even if you redeem this item, it's useless if there's no suitable user for it.

All the orders were issued by the Emperor, and the Emperor was undoubtedly one of the recipients of these orders.

As for the other one... who should we choose?

Mu Yue was somewhat conflicted.

Just then, a palace maid with an unfamiliar face suddenly walked towards the Empress.

Mu Yue sensed something was wrong and instinctively walked towards the Empress.

But she is short and has small legs, so she can't walk fast.

She was still quite a distance away when the palace maid arrived at the Empress's side.

The Empress was discussing palace affairs, post-disaster reconstruction, and matters of comforting the people with the two imperial concubines at the time, and did not notice the palace maid who suddenly approached.

The palace maid, standing beside the empress, took advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was diverted, suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed the empress in the back.

The queen was stabbed and instantly felt the pain, which spread from her back to her brain.

We must find out why this palace maid did this.

The Empress's pupils contracted sharply. Suppressing the pain in her body, she ordered the guards beside her, "Seize...this assassin for me..."

Her health wasn't very good to begin with, and after being stabbed and losing a lot of blood, she naturally sounded weak when she spoke.

At this moment, the Imperial Garden was very noisy. The guards did not hear the Empress's order immediately. Instead, it was the nanny serving the Empress who reacted first.

She grabbed the palace maid, her hand still holding the dagger, and forcibly dragged her away from the Empress.

Before the nanny could even approach, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

Mu Yue watched this scene unfold before her eyes, her eyes wide open, standing there stunned, unsure how to react.

She didn't understand why this palace maid, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, would suddenly attack the Empress Dowager.

She mechanically walked towards the direction of the Empress.

Everything around her was no longer important; only the Empress, being helped up by the maids, remained.

And the Empress's lips, which were slightly bluish-purple.

The Imperial Garden instantly descended into chaos once again.

Despite the noise around her, Mu Yue could hear the pounding of her own heart.

Thump thump thump…

She heard Chunju's worried voice, but Muyue couldn't hear it.

When she reached the Empress's side, she nudged her blankly and softly called out, "Empress Mother..."

She desperately wished the Empress would open her eyes immediately and gently tell her that she was alright.

But all he could see was the Empress's increasingly bluish-purple face.

"Your Highness, Her Majesty will be worried about you. Once the imperial physician arrives, Her Majesty will be alright!"

As Chunju spoke, she looked at Muyue with concern, while also keeping an eye on the Empress's condition out of the corner of her eye.

The empress had already fainted.

The part of the dagger exposed on the body reflected a faint, eerie light in the sunlight.

Consort Tong immediately sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to summon the imperial physician.

Upon receiving the news, the imperial physicians rushed towards the Imperial Garden immediately.

Upon seeing a dagger embedded in the empress's back, its dark gleam immediately revealed that it was poisoned.

The imperial physician dared not delay and hurriedly took the empress's pulse.

Mu Yue looked worriedly at the Empress's increasingly bluish-purple face and shallow breathing, not daring to place all her hopes on the imperial physician beside her.

Human strength will eventually run out.

Who knows if the imperial physicians can diagnose what poison the Empress Dowager has been poisoned with?

She pursed her lips, which had become dry from nervousness, and anxiously called out to the system in her mind, "Is there any way to wake up the Empress?"

The system's voice did not sound, but the system store once again opened up in front of Mu Yue.

Many items appeared in front of Mu Yue.

Products with detoxifying properties are listed at the top of the list.

Mu Yue didn't hesitate and bought the most expensive Cleansing and Marrow-Consolidating Pill.

I spent 3000 points.

She looked closely at the product; it stated that it could eliminate all toxins from the body and improve the user's constitution.

This is just right for the Empress Dowager at this moment.

Soon, Mu Yue had a beautiful porcelain bottle in her hand. The bottle was very small, only the size of a palm.

It contains a pill for cleansing tendons and marrow.

With so many people in the Imperial Garden, how was she supposed to feed the elixir to her mother, the Empress?
