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

Upon hearing the question, Consort Wei gave a bitter laugh, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

She explained in a soft sob, "When I had an accident yesterday, I immediately sent my personal maid to find the Emperor."

"But that palace maid has never returned, let alone brought the Emperor..."

Wei Caiwei, as if unaware of what had happened at yesterday's full moon celebration, said with tears streaming down her face, "I'm afraid that my personal maid was bribed by someone else and deliberately tried to harm me and my child, so she didn't tell His Majesty this important news!"

When Kangxi heard this, he looked somewhat uncomfortable.

He coughed a few times. "If you can't find me, why don't you send someone to find the imperial physician?"

Wei Caiwei looked at Kangxi with red eyes and gave a bitter smile, "Without the imperial edict from the Emperor and the Empress, how could a mere concubine like me summon the imperial physician?"

"If I had known this would happen, even if I had received the Empress's invitation, I would never have attended the Sixth Prince's full moon celebration. Even if the Empress complained, I wanted to protect my child and the Emperor's child."

Wei Caiwei's eyes, as clear as autumn water, held both admiration and regret for Kangxi.

Her appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, except for her fair skin and captivating eyes.

That's why Emperor Kangxi favored her.

Looking into Wei Caiwei's eyes, Kangxi was momentarily dazed and did not speak or respond immediately.

Mu Yue, who was outside the door, immediately pouted and looked displeased when she heard Wei Caiwei dare to speak ill of the Empress.

"My mother-in-law has always been kind and generous; she would never do such a thing!"

"For Consort Wei to say such things in front of Father Emperor, she must be trying to sow discord between Mother Empress and Father Emperor. Aunt Su Ma, let's go inside quickly!"

"Yue'er doesn't want her mother to be blamed by her father for no reason!"

Looking at Mu Yue's anxious expression, Su Ma La Gu said helplessly, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry. The Emperor isn't one to be unable to distinguish right from wrong!"

Mu Yue was worried; these few words were no match for changing her mind.

Seeing that Sumalagu was unwilling to be with her, she did not force her, and immediately lifted her skirt and stepped onto the bluestone steps.

Before she could even push open the palace gate, she heard Kangxi's voice, tinged with displeasure, coming from inside.

"Consort Wei, I understand your anxiety about the Eighth Prince's current situation, but that is no reason for you to smear the Empress!"

Wei Caiwei never expected that Emperor Kangxi would trust the Empress so much.

Her small, palm-sized face showed a mixture of bewilderment and disbelief.

Her pale lips parted slightly as she looked at the suddenly rising Emperor Kangxi, and she murmured to herself, "Your Majesty trusts the Empress so much... then what am I...?"

Her voice was too soft for Kangxi to hear clearly, nor did he care.

He stared at Wei Caiwei expressionlessly and questioned her word by word, "Before the full moon celebration, the Empress mentioned this matter to me, and I also had someone tell you. Why did you disregard your health and insist on attending the full moon celebration?"

"Right now, because of your recklessness, something has happened that has left the Eighth Prince unable to walk. As his mother, don't you feel even the slightest bit of guilt? Do you even want to place all the blame on the Empress?"

Looking at Wei Caiwei, Kangxi felt that the gentle and understanding woman he remembered seemed to have become a different person.

"This matter ends here. You'd better behave yourself from now on!"

After saying this, Kangxi lost interest in comforting Wei Caiwei. Without even glancing at her, he flicked his sleeve and strode out of the house.

Wei Caiwei never expected the final outcome to be like this.

She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face through her fingers.

Ignoring the commotion behind him, Kangxi strode toward the door.

As soon as the door opened, Mu Yue and Su Mala Gu were standing there.

His expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Why are Aunt and Yue'er here?"

Su Mala Gu seemed oblivious to Kangxi's unusual behavior and said gently, "Consort Wei is, after all, someone from Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager also cares about her to some extent."

"I just happened to hear that Her Highness gave birth to a prince yesterday, and she specially sent me to deliver some gifts. Princess just happened to hear about this, so she came with Nubi to visit Consort Wei."

When Kangxi heard Su Ma La Gu mention the Eighth Prince, he immediately recalled the two legs he had just seen, one long and one short.

His brow was furrowed, and his expression showed some displeasure.

"The Eighth Prince is not in good health. I will arrange for someone to treat him properly before letting Aunt and Yue'er see him!"

Mu Yue did not miss the unusual tone in Kangxi's voice when he mentioned the Eighth Prince.

She immediately realized that although other things had changed, one crucial thing remained the same: the prince born to Consort Wei had a leg ailment.

If Wei Caiwei hadn't climbed to power by stepping on the Empress, Mu Yue might have tried to use her system to obtain medicine to treat the Eighth Prince's leg ailment.

However, the conversation she had just overheard, as well as what had happened before, left Mu Yue with little affection for her newborn brother.

She glanced into the room from the doorway. In the dimly lit room, she could only vaguely see a slender figure sobbing softly.

It must be Consort Wei.

"Father, is Consort Wei crying because of Eighth Brother's health?"

Before Kangxi could respond, Mu Yue continued, "When Yinzhuo, Yinhu, and Xing'er were born, they were also very weak. If the Empress Mother hadn't stepped on that carelessly discarded bead, the younger siblings wouldn't have been born prematurely, and they wouldn't have been constantly taking medicine!"

Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly upon hearing Mu Yue's words.

He arranged for someone to investigate all the palace servants who appeared in the Imperial Garden on the day the Empress had her accident.

But no matter how I checked, it all showed that what happened back then was just an accident.

Emperor Kangxi's ability to secure his throne was not due to luck.

There must be something fishy about this.

However, the Imperial Garden is always bustling with people, so finding out where this bead came from is no easy task.

There are currently no clues, and the owner of the bead has not even been found.

As Kangxi pondered, his brow furrowed, and he gently patted Muyue's head, saying in a tender voice, "Yue'er will definitely be a good older sister in the future!"

Upon hearing Kangxi's praise, Mu Yue couldn't help but smile brightly.

"Yue'er will definitely not let Father Emperor down!"

Seeing how happily Kangxi and Muyue were getting along, Su Mala Gu sighed helplessly and couldn't help but remind them, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is still waiting for us at Cining Palace!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi also noticed what Su Mala Gu was carrying.

He noticed that the weight of these items was unclear, and they even left marks on Su Ma La Gu's palms. He immediately said, "Auntie, just have someone send the items in. I will accompany Yue'er to see Imperial Grandmother. I also have some things I want to discuss with Imperial Grandmother."
