"The Empress is unwell, why was no one informed of this?"

Kangxi held Muyue in his arms, looking at the Empress with a worried expression.

His tone softened considerably, signaling a reconciliation.

The Empress knew she couldn't act impulsively.

Upon hearing Kangxi's question, a gentle smile immediately returned to her face.

"It's just a trivial matter. Telling His Majesty would only cause him unnecessary worry. Besides, the imperial physician has already prescribed a remedy, Your Majesty..."

Before the Empress could finish speaking, Kangxi grabbed her hand, frowned, and said disapprovingly, "Empress, the child in your womb also has my bloodline. How can I just wash my hands of this?"

"I've been so busy with state affairs these days that I've forgotten to come and see you!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress lowered her eyes shyly, concealing the complex expression in them.

Mu Yue, taking advantage of her height, was able to see the expression in the Empress's eyes, and could tell that the Empress was not happy about Kangxi's words.

She immediately recalled the expression on her mother's face when she first entered the palace.

It seems that Father Emperor and Mother Emperor are having a conflict!

Mu Yue knew how much the Empress valued Kangxi; if it were a trivial matter, the Empress would never have shown such an expression.

She couldn't help but glance at the Empress with concern, planning to ask her indirectly after Kangxi left.

After asking the Empress a few simple questions, Emperor Kangxi summoned the imperial physician who was to take her pulse.

He casually asked a few questions about the Empress's pulse, confirmed there were no problems, and then immediately made an excuse to turn around and leave.

No sooner had Kangxi left than Muyue learned of what had just happened from the servants attending the Empress.

She pursed her lips, her dissatisfaction with Wei Caiwei growing even stronger.

She caught the eye of her father, the Emperor, under the pretext of delivering gifts from the Empress Dowager to her mother.

They're even using this incident to try and implicate the Empress Dowager.

Isn't that taking their favor for granted?

In the palace, one only sees the laughter of new concubines, never the tears of the old.

But in any case, the Empress Dowager is the mother of the nation, how could a mere concubine like her possibly have the right to interfere?

Mu Yue's dislike for Consort Wei grew stronger.

Despite disliking Wei Caiwei, Mu Yue had no intention of doing anything.

The Empress's belly was much larger than that of the other concubines.

Mu Yue spent most of her time caring about the Empress, so naturally she didn't have much time to pay attention to unimportant people.

Just then, the imperial physician diagnosed that the empress was carrying twins.

Upon hearing this news, everyone in Kunning Palace was somewhat flustered, including Mu Yue and the Crown Prince.

The last time the Empress was pregnant, she suffered severe bleeding and nearly died several times before she finally pulled through.

However, he had to stay in bed for a long time to recuperate.

This time it's twins again.

The people in Kunning Palace were very worried about the Empress's health.

The old nanny Zhang, standing behind the Empress, hurriedly asked, "Imperial Physician Fang, how is Her Majesty's health?"

The Empress already has the Crown Prince and the Little Princess, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't have a child in her womb.

But if the two young masters didn't have the Empress's protection, who knows how much suffering they would have to endure in the palace.

Thinking of this, Granny Zhang became even more nervous.

His gaze toward the Empress also carried an undisguised worry.

Upon hearing Zhang Mama's words, Imperial Physician Fang frowned, felt the pulse under his hand, and remained silent for a long time before saying gently, "Her Majesty's health has been well taken care of over the years, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"However, twins are more likely to be born prematurely. Your Majesty is already more than five months pregnant, so you need to be extra careful..."

Physician Fang went on and on about the points to pay attention to.

Granny Zhang immediately memorized everything.

As time went by, the Empress's body grew heavier and heavier.

With the baby in her belly already seven months old, the people in Kunning Palace paid even closer attention to the Empress's every need, from clothing and food to housing and transportation.

But the accident still happened.

On this day, as usual, the Empress went to the Cining Palace of the Grand Empress Dowager to pay her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

While passing through the Imperial Garden, I suddenly stepped on something, slipped, and fell face down to the ground.

Granny Zhang kept a close eye on the Empress's movements.

Seeing the Empress suddenly fall to the ground, her narrow eyes widened, and she immediately tried to reach out to protect the Empress.

But it's still a step too late.

Fortunately, Chunfeng, who was by the Empress's side, reacted quickly and pounced on the Empress.

The Empress's heavy body crashed heavily onto Chunfeng.

Chunfeng's face immediately paled.

But their first concern was for the Empress's health.

Her voice trembled as she asked, "Your Majesty the Empress...you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she fainted due to her physical condition.

The Empress was also frightened by the sudden event and turned pale.

She even felt a dull ache in her abdomen.

Ignoring Chunfeng's health, the Empress grabbed the hand that Zhang Mama was extending.

Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and her expression was terrible. "Granny...Granny, my stomach hurts..."

When Zhang Mama heard the Empress's words, her expression turned ugly.

She hurriedly urged the others serving her, "Quickly... quickly help Her Highness back to Kunning Palace, go and summon the imperial physician..."

At Zhang Mama's command, the palace maids and eunuchs immediately sprang into action.

As soon as Mu Yue got up, her eyelids started twitching, and she had a bad feeling about it.

Thinking of the Empress's seven-month pregnancy, she pursed her lips and hurriedly walked towards the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Before we even reached the main hall, we heard a commotion.

Mu Yue looked closely and saw the Empress being carried by several servants towards the main hall.

Something has happened to the Empress Dowager!

No wonder she had a bad feeling early this morning.

Mu Yue's face turned pale, and she immediately lifted the hem of her palace dress and ran towards the main hall.

Upon entering the palace, one sees the Empress clutching her stomach, crying out in pain, her forehead covered in cold sweat, looking extremely disheveled.

With red eyes, Mu Yue approached the Empress.

"Your Majesty... what's wrong with you...?"

Mu Yue's tearful voice rang in the Empress's ears.

The Empress, clinging to her last shred of reason, opened her eyes and looked at Mu Yue.

"Moon, don't worry... Your Majesty is alright..."

The Empress had difficulty speaking, yet she still tried her best to comfort Mu Yue.

But her appearance only made Mu Yue more worried.

Granny Zhang watched as the Empress went to great lengths to attend to Mu Yue's feelings.

She immediately walked to Mu Yue's side and bowed slightly. "Your Highness, Her Majesty does not have the spare energy to pay attention to you right now. Perhaps this servant should have Chun Ju accompany you to find His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Upon hearing what Granny Zhang said, Mu Yue immediately shook her head.

With tears welling in her eyes, she whispered, "Yue'er isn't going anywhere; she wants to stay here with her mother!"

"Granny Zhang, Mother will be alright, won't she?"

Looking at Mu Yue's expectant eyes, Granny Zhang's expression was complicated.

She sighed and gently patted Mu Yue's head. "This old servant has already sent someone to fetch the imperial physician. Your Highness will definitely be alright!"

This is also what Granny Zhang hoped for.
