Mu Yue looked around and suddenly noticed the Empress lying on the bed.

With his height, he could just sneakily slip the pill into his mother's mouth.

She moved stealthily and cautiously toward the Empress's bedside.

This bed is nothing more than a simple bed made of a few planks of wood.

Considering the possibility of an earthquake at any moment, the servants had no choice but to set up another tent in the open space of the Imperial Garden.

On one side is the Empress, whose fate is unknown, and on the other side is Consort Yi, who is giving birth.

The Imperial Garden was bustling with activity at the moment, with only Consort Tong and Consort Niohuru in charge.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, Mu Yue secretly approached the Empress.

She was still young and short, and no one noticed her stealthy movements.

Finding a suitable spot, Mu Yue didn't hesitate at all and immediately stuffed the Cleansing and Marrow-Consolidating Pill into the Empress's mouth.

The elixir melts in your mouth.

Even though the Queen was unconscious, the medicine quickly dissolved in her mouth.

Mu Yue didn't know when the medicine would take effect, so she nervously watched the Empress's every move.

Suddenly, the unconscious empress's body began to undulate slightly.

Then he leaned over the bed and vomited a mouthful of dark blood.

The imperial physician and the servants around them were all taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and they were all stunned, not knowing how to react.

Mu Yue guessed that it was probably the medicine she had given to the Empress Dowager that had taken effect.

She hurriedly urged the imperial physician beside her, "Uncle Imperial Physician, please take a look at the Empress Dowager!"

The imperial physician snapped out of his daze and hurriedly took the empress's pulse.

After taking her pulse, the imperial physician's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "Her Majesty the Empress's health is improving; the toxins in her body have been expelled along with that mouthful of black blood."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great, I made the right choice.

The toxins in the Queen's body have been removed, but the external wounds remain and still need treatment.

The imperial physician ordered his female physicians to bandage the Empress's wounds.

After the wound was bandaged, the Empress slowly woke up.

She felt a dull pain in her back and immediately remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.

She struggled to sit up. "Granny, where is that palace maid?"

She needed to know why the palace maid had suddenly attacked her.

The palace has been cleansed by His Majesty several times, but I never expected that there would still be people like this hiding there.

We must investigate whether there was anyone else behind this palace maid.

The old woman had been so focused on the Empress's health that she hadn't paid attention to the maid's movements after pulling her away. Now, hearing the question, she seemed somewhat bewildered.

She said with some guilt, "This old servant was only concerned about Your Highness's health and forgot to arrest that palace maid."

"With so many people here, who knows which one was the palace maid who just assassinated the Empress!"

Upon hearing the old woman's words, the Empress immediately frowned, her expression showing some displeasure.

Just as she was about to speak, she felt a dull pain in her abdomen.

She disregarded everything else and hurriedly asked the nanny to help her to the latrine.

No sooner had the Empress left than Emperor Kangxi arrived at the Imperial Garden.

He learned from the palace servants that the empress had been assassinated, and he was immediately enraged.

Just then, the people in the capital had been settled, and he arranged for Suo'etu to spread the word throughout the city that he was blessed by Heaven and had learned in advance of the news of the earth dragon's reversal. He also arranged for a stage to be built and for the people of the capital to be invited to perform, so as to avoid the news of the earth dragon's reversal.

Presumably, once this news spreads, the White Lotus sect, which advocates overthrowing the Qing dynasty and restoring the Ming, will take a break for a while.

As he pondered this, Kangxi strode towards the Imperial Garden.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Garden, they saw Consort Tong and Consort Niohuru directing servants to clear away the fallen stones, while Consort Yi was giving birth in a tent.

The sounds of blood and weeping could be heard from inside the tent from time to time.

Emperor Kangxi took in the expressions and situations of everyone in the Imperial Garden, but he did not see the Empress or the maidservants attending to her. He immediately asked with some concern, "Where is the Empress?"

When Mu Yue saw Kangxi, she rushed over.

In the brief moment she had just taken, she had already located the palace maid who had attempted to assassinate the Empress Dowager.

She mingled among the other palace maids, and with her head down, few people noticed anything unusual about her.

When the assassination attempt occurred, Mu Yue listened to the Empress and the palace maid watching for a while, and had already memorized the palace maid's appearance.

She found the palace maid without much effort.

She rushed to Kangxi's side and tugged at his dragon robe. "Father, the palace maid who tried to assassinate Mother is hiding there! Have someone arrest her immediately!"

Upon hearing Mu Yue's words, Kangxi immediately frowned and, without hesitation, ordered the guards beside him to arrest the palace maid that Mu Yue had just pointed out.

Although the palace maid kept her head down, she kept an eye on her surroundings out of the corner of her eye, ready to escape at any moment.

Noticing that the palace maids and eunuchs around her were moving away from her, she immediately realized something was wrong and tried to turn around and run away.

But standing in the crowd, escaping now wouldn't be an easy task.

He had only run a few steps when he was grabbed by a guard.

The way she fled just now further proved her guilty conscience.

The guards pulled the palace maid in front of Emperor Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, the man has been captured!"

Kangxi looked at the palace maid in front of him with a cold expression, "Who is your master?"

Too much was happening at the moment, and he didn't have the patience to question people carefully.

If this palace maid can cooperate, that would be best; if she is unwilling to cooperate, he has plenty of ways to deal with her.

Before the palace maid attempted to assassinate the empress, she knew what the consequences of her actions would be.

Even after being caught, she gritted her teeth and refused to say anything.

Looking at her like this, Kangxi sneered, "Send her to the Ministry of Justice."

Liang Ruhai nodded in agreement and immediately called for his men, grabbed the palace maids, and headed towards the Shenxing Division.

The Empress, supported by the old woman, returned to the Imperial Garden.

When Emperor Kangxi saw the Empress, he immediately went forward to greet her.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

He supported the Empress with one hand, looking at her with concern in his eyes.

When the Empress saw that Kangxi had come because of her injury, a smile appeared on her face.

Since she gave birth to Baocheng and Yue'er, His Majesty has only visited Kunning Palace on the first and fifteenth of each month. He usually appears during the day and never stays overnight.

She knew that His Majesty now favored Consort Tong and Consort Yi, and she was secretly jealous.

His Majesty did not come to the Imperial Garden because of Consort Yi's childbirth, but he came here because of me and even showed concern for me immediately.

This made the Empress very satisfied.

She smiled gently and gracefully, and her originally pale and sallow face now looked much fairer.

In a daze, Kangxi seemed to see Empress Hesheli from the year they had just gotten married.

She was wearing a red wedding dress, and her fair skin was flushed with shyness.

She looks exceptionally lovely.

But after giving birth to Baocheng and Yue'er, her complexion was never very good, and she always wore a lot of makeup every time we met.

This greatly displeased Emperor Kangxi.

But Kangxi did give them the respect they deserved.

Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but feel a little sentimental when he thought he would see Empress Hesheli return to her former appearance.
