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

After they left, Kangxi and his children changed their clothes.

They planned to leave the palace.

All the previous news was relayed by servants.

Emperor Kangxi wanted to see for himself what the capital city looked like now.

Before the group could even leave the palace, the servants who came to deliver the good news stopped Emperor Kangxi.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Consort Yi has given birth to a prince."

Emperor Kangxi was somewhat dissatisfied with the child because of his birthday, but after all, he was his own child.

He doesn't have many children left alive now.

Even including Consort Yi's son, she only had five sons.

Regardless, producing offspring for the royal family deserves a reward. With that in mind, Kangxi immediately said, "Reward!"

"Wei Zhu, go and tell Consort Yi that I will visit her and the child after the earthquake is over."

After everything was arranged, Kangxi took Muyue and the others out of the palace.

As soon as Mu Yue left the palace, she noticed many bewildered people standing on the surrounding streets. Their houses had been overturned when the earth shook, and bricks and tiles were scattered all over the ground.

All his belongings were buried under the dust.

Some of the people were so emotional that they were lying on the ruins of their houses, weeping incessantly.

Some of the houses still have people trapped underneath them.

Blood spread outwards along the dust, staining a large area of ​​the ground dark.

The scene here is even more unpleasant than the Imperial Garden.

Didn't the Emperor know about the earth dragon's reversal in advance and make corresponding arrangements? Why did someone still lose their life in their own house?

Looking at everything before her, Mu Yue bit her lip tightly, her mood somewhat depressed.

The eldest prince and the crown prince, who were standing to the side, were originally happy about leaving the palace.

But seeing the sorrowful faces of the people, they couldn't help but fall silent.

The crown prince finally realized at that moment how heavy the responsibility he would have to bear in the future was.

Looking at the solemn-faced Emperor Kangxi, he couldn't help but ask, "Father, shouldn't we...shouldn't we do something?"

At least... at least these people have some hope!

The children looked expectantly at Kangxi, hoping he could come up with a useful solution to the current situation.

Emperor Kangxi reached out and rubbed the head of the Crown Prince standing beside him, saying helplessly, "Natural disasters are beyond human control."

"Even though Father Emperor is the ruler of the country, he cannot prevent the arrival of natural disasters. He can only make preparations in advance and arrange for his ministers to settle the people."

"Now, both Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu are busy working for the people. Soon, they won't be like this anymore!"

After listening to Kangxi's words, Mu Yue remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Father, what can we do?"

Looking at the children's earnest expressions, Kangxi hesitated for a moment and said, "You are still young. All you can do is be good and obedient and not worry your parents."

"Father and the ministers in the court will take care of other things. When you grow up in the future, you can do more for these people."

The Crown Prince and the First Prince looked serious, clearly having taken Kangxi's words to heart.

Mu Yue's gaze was drawn to a little girl crying on the street not far away.

She released Kangxi's hand and walked quickly towards the little girl.

The little girl looked about the same age as Mu Yue. She stood in front of the ruins, crying so hard she was almost suffocating.

Mu Yue ran to the little girl's side, took a small piece of candy from her purse, and gave it to the little girl, saying, "Little sister, here you go!"

The little girl paused, her hoarse crying suddenly stopped, and she blinked her slightly red and swollen eyes, looking at Mu Yue, not understanding why she had given her candy.

She was silent for a moment, staring blankly at the sweet-smelling candy in front of her. She couldn't help but swallow and asked softly, "Is this...for me?"

Mu Yue nodded and handed the candy in her hand to the little girl.

Why was my sister crying just now?

The little girl had just carefully stuffed the candy into her bosom when she heard Mu Yue's question.

She was suddenly reminded of her painful memories, her eyes reddening as she sobbed, "Father and Mother were crushed by the house because of my brother!"

"I...I want my father and mother..."

The little girl had barely said a few words when she burst into loud sobs.

Looking at the spot where the little girl was standing, Mu Yue guessed that the pile of ruins in front of her was her home.

Only four hours have passed since the earth dragon turned over.

If the little girl's family is lucky, they might still be alive.

Thinking of this, Mu Yue immediately looked to Kangxi for help.

Emperor Kangxi sighed and gestured for the guards behind him to step forward and dig away the pile of bricks and rubble.

The guards were exceptionally skilled in action.

In no time, most of the ruins in front of them were cleared away.

But it was as if God didn't want to see the little girl's parents appear.

They had just dug away the rubble when the earthworm turned over again.

A newly dug path was instantly blocked by new timber.

Mu Yue could even see blood flowing out from the seam.

With so much blood, those trapped underneath... probably have no chance of survival.

Mu Yue couldn't help but glance at the little girl who was still crying, her feelings were complicated.

"Father... if, if this little girl's family is all gone, could... could you let her and Yue'er leave?"

Kangxi knew that Muyue sometimes had some inappropriate acts of kindness.

But they are willing to indulge their daughter's little whims.

He nodded gently, "If Yue'er likes it, I will arrange for her to enter the palace!"

The sky was dark and there was no sunlight. The occasional earth-shaking movements gave people the illusion that divine punishment was about to befall them.

Mu Yue knew perfectly well that the earth's movement was just a normal tectonic shift, but she also knew that no matter who she told this to, no one would believe her; on the contrary, some people would think she was strange.

Along the way, many people had already knelt on the ground, begging for the gods' forgiveness.

Some people even took advantage of the chaos to spread numerous rumors.

Similar to the slogans of "The Qing Dynasty's ascension to the throne was illegitimate" and "Overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming."

However, Suo'etu had already arranged for people to spread the word throughout the streets and alleys that Kangxi had received the Mandate of Heaven and knew in advance that the earth would turn upside down. That's why he built a stage in the capital and hoped that everyone would stay outside on that day.

The members of the White Lotus sect needed to conceal their identities, so the information they spread was not as widespread as that arranged by Suo'etu.

Soon, rumors began to circulate in the capital that Emperor Kangxi was the reincarnation of a true dragon.

Many people even switched from praying to gods and Buddhas to worshiping Emperor Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi, accompanied by his children, looked somewhat complicated upon seeing this scene.

With unwavering resolve, we are determined to ensure that the people live a good life.

Meanwhile, in a small alley, a pair of dark eyes stared intently at the backs of Kangxi and his companions.
