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

"Your Majesty, I can prove my innocence!"

Consort Rong recalled what happened that day and immediately said to Emperor Kangxi with some excitement, "I was with Yinzhi the day I received the note."

Sui Xin looked somewhat helpless upon hearing Consort Rong's words.

She looked at Consort Rong with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, you've come to this point, so just be honest. Why drag the Third Prince into this?"

"The Third Prince is so young and doesn't understand anything yet. He can only do whatever His Majesty says!"

Consort Rong glared fiercely at Sui Xin, who had spoken.

She ignored Suixin and continued speaking to Kangxi, "Yin Zhirou is at the age where she loves to learn how the people around her talk."

"On the day I received the note, Yinzhi also overheard it. He would repeat a few words from time to time. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can summon Yinzhi and ask him!"

Before Emperor Kangxi could react, the Empress beside him had already believed it.

The Empress knew better than anyone how much Consort Rong cared about her child.

She believed that Consort Rong would never use a child to scheme against her.

"Your Majesty, I believe Consort Rong's words."

Feeling the gazes of Kangxi and Consort Rong on her, the Empress remained very calm and said with a smile, "Consort Rong cares about her child more than anyone else. If this hadn't actually happened, Consort Rong wouldn't have brought it up, let alone implicated Yinzhi."

Consort Rong originally thought that the first person to believe her after she said such words would be the Emperor, but she never expected that it would be the Empress, whom she regarded as an enemy.

She raised her head, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, looking at the Empress with a hint of bewilderment and disbelief.

"I never imagined that the first person to believe me would be Her Majesty the Empress!"

Kangxi smiled knowingly.

He patted the Empress's hand beside him and said gently, "The Empress has always been kind, dignified, and broad-minded. Only by entrusting the harem to the Empress can I be at ease!"

The Empress simply smiled gently and said nothing more.

Kangxi turned to look at Consort Rong kneeling before him, his tone serious, "Consort Rong, I know you have always been naive and simple, and easily swayed by others, but the deaths of your children are certainly not related to the Empress."

"If the Empress really did this, you don't need to mention it; the Empress Dowager and I will not forgive her!"

"You, a mere concubine, dared to barge into Kunning Palace and even have the audacity to criticize the Empress. From this day forward, you are demoted to..."

Before Kangxi could finish speaking, the Empress gently interrupted him.

With a hint of leniency in her eyes, she looked at Kangxi and said softly, "Consort Rong is only concerned for her son and has no ill intentions. She has not harmed me either. Why don't we just let this matter drop?"

Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly, clearly disagreeing.

The Empress was not angry at all. She just smiled and stroked her still-flat stomach, saying, "Your Majesty, please consider this a prayer for the children!"

"If punishment is truly necessary, why not have Consort Rong copy a few copies of the Rebirth Sutra for the deceased children in the palace, so that they may enjoy happiness in their next life!"

Consort Rong sensed that Emperor Kangxi wanted to demote her rank, and she also sensed that the Empress was protecting her.

She looked surprised.

If it were someone else, they would be lucky if they didn't kick someone when they're down.

But the Empress still pleaded for her. What had she done?!

Consort Rong felt a pang of guilt.

She knelt down before the Empress with a thud, her face showing a look of sincere admiration. "Your Majesty is so magnanimous. The matter of the note must have been deliberately plotted by someone to alienate Your Majesty from me."

The Empress glanced at Consort Rong.

She actually showed some intelligence for once.

“Your Majesty, Consort Rong’s words make some sense. If Your Majesty were to demote Consort Rong, wouldn’t that fulfill the wish of the person behind her?”

Since the Empress didn't mind, Kangxi naturally didn't intend to dwell on the matter.

He glanced at Consort Rong and said, "Since the Empress has pleaded for you, let this matter drop. But if it happens again, you will be severely punished!"

Consort Rong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She curtsied and thanked Emperor Kangxi and the Empress.

When Consort Rong left, she did not take Suixin with her; she was still kneeling on the bluestone slab of Kunning Palace.

She never expected that Kangxi and the Emperor would believe Consort Rong's words so readily.

Sui Xin's expression was completely blank.

She didn't know how to react to extricate herself from this situation.

Neither Emperor Kangxi nor the Empress intended to listen to Suixin's explanation.

Kangxi directly instructed Liang Ruhai, who was beside him, to take Suixin away and ask her where the note came from.

Sui Xin struggled desperately, trying to explain, but Kangxi had no patience to listen.

After the unrelated people left, Kangxi's expression softened considerably.

He looked at the Empress beside him and said earnestly, "Empress, now that you are carrying the Emperor's child, nothing else is as important as your health."

"If this happens again, have your personal maid come to me directly, so you don't overwork yourself and harm your health!"

The Empress was very pleased with Kangxi's concern, and her smile deepened.

Mu Yue knew how much the Empress cared about Kangxi's concern. Seeing that the two were in a good mood, she didn't want to disturb them, so she tiptoed out of the palace.

As soon as Mu Yue stepped out of the palace, the system's voice rang in her mind.

[The host helped Rong Xian resolve his inner conflict and gained 1000 points.]

Her eyes widened instantly.

I have 1000 points!

Why does this matter have such a high score?

Mu Yue was puzzled.

Could it be because Rongxian's sister is a princess?

Mu Yue had a guess in her mind.

She plans to find an opportunity to verify it!

If her guess is correct, then there will be even more and faster ways to earn points in the future.

After all, the Emperor will have many children in the future!

As Mu Yue thought about it, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, and she was in a very good mood.

Just then, Mu Yue noticed a palace maid walking along the road not far away.

The palace maid could only be described as pretty. She wore a bright green palace dress, her slender waist tightly bound by a belt, and a little skin was exposed on her neck, which looked exceptionally fair against the backdrop of the bright green dress.

It looks rather conspicuous.

The palace maid looked somewhat nervous and kept glancing around, seemingly looking for something.

Mu Yue frowned and immediately called out to the palace maid, "Stop! Which palace are you from?"

The palace maid was startled by Mu Yue's sudden voice. She jumped up on the spot, lost her footing, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Mu Yue was stunned.

She stared wide-eyed at the palace maid sitting on the ground, her expression blank.

Where did this servant come from? How could he be so timid?

She's even more timid than Wei Jingzhu.

The palace maid came to her senses, got up from the ground with an embarrassed expression, and hurriedly bowed to Mu Yue.

She lowered her head, her expression hidden in shadow, and said softly, "This servant is a servant of Cining Palace!"

"The Empress Dowager heard that the Empress is pregnant and specially sent me to deliver some things!"
