While Consort Tong and Emperor Kangxi were talking, Mu Yue had already secretly gone to the inner palace.

Yinzhen lay on the large bed in the inner palace, with a nanny taking care of him.

He was sucking on his finger, looking completely innocent.

Completely unaware that in the courtyard, Consort Tong was furious about his matter.

Seeing Yinzhen's expression, Mu Yue's restless fingers still pinched his cheek.

Before the nanny could stop him, Yinzhen's cheeks were already slightly red and swollen.

Seemingly feeling the pain, Yinzhen stopped biting his fingers and instead opened his mouth and cried loudly.

Mu Yue panicked a little.

She only pinched him lightly, so why did Yinzhen suddenly start crying?

Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong, who were in the courtyard, also heard Yinzhen's cries.

The two hurriedly walked into the inner hall.

Then they saw Mu Yue standing helplessly by the bed, and the nanny holding Yinzhen and trying to comfort him.

Mu Yue knew she had made a mistake. She lowered her head and said with some guilt, "It's Yue'er's fault. I pinched Brother Yinzhen and made him cry!"

Seeing Mu Yue's guilty expression, Consort Tong and Emperor Kangxi couldn't bring themselves to say anything more to blame her.

Moreover, they knew Mu Yue's personality and knew she meant no harm.

"Little brother's skin is delicate, Yue'er, please don't pinch his cheeks again next time!"

When Mu Yue saw the red marks on Yinzhen's cheeks and felt guilty, she nodded hurriedly upon hearing these words.

On the way out of Chengqian Palace, Kangxi suddenly asked, "Can Yue'er tell Father about the immortals she just talked about with the Empress?"

Mu Yue was stunned when she heard Kangxi's question.

She never expected that her conversation with her mother would be known by her father.

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Father Emperor was inherently suspicious.

If they truly believed in the immortal they had fabricated, they might have harbored resentment towards Brother Baocheng beforehand...

Thinking of this, Mu Yue's expression couldn't help but become somewhat conflicted.

She tried to conceal her emotions, but her clumsy methods were no match for Kangxi's perception.

"Does Yue'er not want to talk about it, or is she unable to talk about it?"

Kangxi asked a question that seemed to indicate concern.

But Mu Yue sensed the probing in his tone.

She felt that continuing to hide it would only displease her father, so after a moment's hesitation, she said, "It's because Yue'er is worried that if she tells Father Emperor about this, he will think Yue'er is strange and won't dote on her anymore!"

Mu Yue's childish voice, coupled with her innocent yet worried expression, dispelled most of Kangxi's doubts.

He smiled and ruffled Mu Yue's hair. "Yue'er, how could you have such thoughts? No matter who you are, you are still Father Emperor's daughter!"

Mu Yue looked at Kangxi with emotion.

She repeated the same words she had spoken to the Empress.

After listening, Kangxi frowned and asked, "Did the immortal say why he chose to give these to your mother?"

Mu Yue was about to shake her head, but then she realized that this was not the result Kangxi wanted.

She immediately said, "The immortal said that the Qing Dynasty is blessed by Heaven and cannot bear to see the people suffer, but Father Emperor has dragon energy, so she cannot get close to him and told Yue'er the news."

Emperor Kangxi frowned as he looked at Muyue in his arms.

Unable to get close?

Why did I see an immortal on the day the earth dragon turned over?

Mu Yue felt a chill run down her spine under Kangxi's gaze, nervously pursing her lips, not understanding why her father was looking at her like that.

No, she had used dream-entering magic on the Emperor before.

At that time, he also used his status as an immortal to tell the Emperor about the earth dragon's reversal.

We need to find a reason to explain this.

"Oh, right, Father Emperor, Yue'er almost forgot something very important."

Before Kangxi could ask, Muyue continued, "Not long before the earth dragon turned over, Yue'er also had a dream where a celestial being appeared to her."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi became intrigued and asked, "What did the immortal and Yue'er say?"

"The immortal said he had something important to tell Father Emperor, so he borrowed Yue'er's dream!"

Mu Yue looked at Kangxi with a puzzled expression and asked, "Father, what did the immortal say to you?"

"Yue'er only remembers that she suddenly found herself in a white, misty space that night, and then she knew nothing more!"

With Mu Yue's explanation, all of Kangxi's confusion disappeared.

He smiled and ruffled Mu Yue's hair, his expression relaxed. "Yue'er is truly my lucky star!"

Seeing Mu Yue's confused expression, Kangxi did not explain, but smiled and sent her back to Kunning Palace. Immediately afterwards, a large number of rewards were sent to the Empress's palace.

The Empress looked at the gifts sent to the palace and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

She frowned and asked, puzzled, "Yue'er, what did you just say to your father, the Emperor?"

Mu Yue still felt a chill down her spine.

Fortunately, she was still young and was the Emperor's biological daughter; otherwise, she didn't know how the Emperor would react.

She briefly recounted what had just happened.

A few days later, Mu Yue heard that Wu Ya was also restless in the Cold Palace.

She even tried to bribe the guards watching over the Cold Palace in order to find out the Emperor's whereabouts.

But Kangxi had already guessed her scheme.

The guards assigned to this group had no connection whatsoever with the bondservant families.

Despite the considerable effort and money that Wuya put in, she still failed to achieve her goal and was instead reprimanded.

When Mu Yue learned of this news, she felt that Wu Ya Shi would probably spend the rest of her life in the cold palace, with no possibility of being reinstated.

But that’s fine!

It would be safest for someone as vicious as Uya to remain in the Cold Palace.

Mu Yue quickly lost interest in thinking about the Wuya clan's affairs.

The Empress had been feeling very unwell for two days, and it just so happened that it was time for her to have her pulse checked.

She then summoned the imperial physician to take her pulse.

The imperial physician was the one who had previously concluded that the Empress's body was like a broken bucket and that it was absolutely impossible for her to conceive again!

Upon hearing that the Empress was unwell, he did not hesitate and immediately carried his medicine chest to Kunning Palace.

He had barely placed his fingers on the Empress's wrist when he sensed something was amiss.

The imperial physician who had previously taken the Empress's pulse had said that her health had improved, but he did not believe it.

I just felt that the person was exaggerating.

However, the pulse is currently beating well and strong, and there are even signs of pregnancy.

The imperial physician suspected he was mistaken and took the pulse for a long time.

So long that the Empress felt she had an incurable disease.

She frowned and asked, "What's wrong with me? Why isn't Lord Zhang saying anything?"

Mu Yue, standing to the side, also looked anxiously at the imperial physician.

If she weren't afraid of disturbing the imperial physician's diagnosis, she would definitely urge him to give her an answer immediately.

With the bracelet she herself gave her, the Empress Dowager should not be poisoned.

However, she has been having a poor appetite and is often sleepy lately, which is clearly not the case.

Why is Imperial Physician Zhang looking like this again? What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?
