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

Longkodo and the others looked at Mu Yue's retreating figure with somewhat bewildered expressions, and couldn't help but look at the eunuch who had led them in.

Longkodo, after all, was not a first-timer to the palace and was more familiar with palace affairs than the other two.

Behind him stood a high-ranking imperial concubine, who was also Emperor Kangxi's cousin. Even if he made a mistake or offended someone in the palace, someone would protect him.

Faced with the current situation, he spoke first, asking the eunuch who was leading the way, "Eunuch Chen, what should we do next?"

Eunuch Chen lowered his eyes, trying his best to minimize his presence.

He didn't want Zhang Mama to notice his presence, lest he know too much and displease the Empress.

I never expected that Nong Keduo would call me.

His expression instantly became somewhat distorted, but before anyone else noticed, it returned to a smiling face.

"His Majesty has already arranged accommodations for you gentlemen. Please follow me!"

As Zhang Mama watched Eunuch Chen lead several companions away from Cining Palace, she frowned slightly and glanced worriedly at Mu Yue as she entered the inner hall.

As a servant, she couldn't interfere too much in the conflict between the two masters. She could only sigh helplessly and turn back to Kunning Palace to report.

Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar palace, Mu Yue felt increasingly distressed.

She left Cining Palace through a side door and wandered aimlessly.

As she walked, she suddenly noticed that the light around her was getting dimmer and dimmer.

Looking up, I realized that the sun, which had been high in the sky, had somehow set behind the mountains, and the dim sunlight illuminated a brilliant sunset.

There was plenty of vegetation around, and the sun's heat was absorbed by the trees. Every now and then, a cool breeze would blow by, and the howling wind would inexplicably stir up a sense of panic in one's heart.

Mu Yue noticed that the surrounding palaces were covered in dust, as if they had been uninhabited for many years.

She suddenly noticed a dark mark on the palace wall.

It looks just like the marks left after blood has dried.

This Forbidden City has experienced many rebellions, and many people have lost their lives in its palaces.

Perhaps the dark marks on the palace wall were left by an unlucky palace maid or eunuch, or even a concubine.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Mu Yue couldn't help but shiver.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at any of the palaces around her, for fear of seeing any other strange signs and remembering the things that terrified her.

Mu Yue quickened her pace, wanting to leave this place.

However, the howling wind and desolate environment around her did not change because of her quickened pace; on the contrary, they became more and more obvious.

Under these circumstances, Mu Yue felt that time was passing very slowly.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but then she saw a desolate palace. The palace gates were open, and the inside was overgrown with weeds, looking like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Without hesitation, Mu Yue immediately turned around and changed direction, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a faint woman's voice came from inside the palace.

"I've done everything I promised you, but when are you going to fulfill your promise to me?"

Upon hearing someone's voice, Mu Yue's fear subsided somewhat.

She kept looking around, trying to find the source of the voice.

The sound was very clear, so the speaker must have been nearby.

But Mu Yue took in everything around her and saw no one.

Could it be... the spirit of a palace maid or eunuch?

Mu Yue swallowed hard, wishing she could run away immediately and leave this place.

Just then, another voice rang out.

"You haven't fully fulfilled your promise. Her Majesty is unwilling to keep her original promise to you unless you clearly explain the effects of the medicine you gave her!"

The voice sounded very shrill, unlike that of a palace maid; it sounded more like the voice of a eunuch.

Who exactly is the empress they are talking about?

Mu Yue couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Her fear was largely dispelled by her curiosity.

She silently curled up against the corner of the wall, listening to the conversation between the two.

"Is she trying to use someone and then discard them?"

The first voice suddenly became louder and its tone became somewhat displeased.

"Don't forget, just as I had the ability to put her in her current position, I also have the ability to make her lose everything she has now. Nothing lasts forever. If it weren't for my idea, your lady would just be a lowly palace maid now, and how could she have had the chance to rise to the top?"

Mu Yue listened carefully and confirmed that the sound seemed to be coming from behind the wall.

She tiptoed along the base of the wall toward the door not far away, wanting to see clearly who the person speaking was.

She was very curious about who had such great ability to turn a palace maid into a concubine in this cannibalistic palace.

Mu Yue mustered her courage and tried to move as quietly as possible, finally reaching the doorway.

She was afraid that going into the courtyard would disturb the two people talking, so she just pressed herself against the gate. Looking through the open gate, she could only vaguely see two figures.

One of them was dressed in drab gray clothes and looked very thin, but his face was obscured by another person.

Mu Yue pouted, somewhat displeased.

"Her Majesty is very grateful for your help before, but the medicine you gave her did not achieve her wish. Instead, it affected the young prince's health and even displeased His Majesty. Do you really think that under these circumstances, Her Majesty would still agree to your original conditions?"

The eunuch's shrill voice rang out in the quiet environment.

Mu Yue had a sudden flash of inspiration and came up with a guess.

Could the "Empress" that the eunuch is talking about be Wei Caiwei?

Recently, only Consort Wei in the palace has given birth to the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince has a problem with his legs, and the Emperor doesn't want to mention it, which matches the little eunuch's words quite well.

She remembered that both the Wei family and the Wuya family were families of bondservants.

The head of the imperial kitchen was changed from someone from the Wuya family to someone from the Wei family.

Could it be that Uya used her family's manpower and the information she knew from her previous life to help Wei Caiwei so that she could have a better time in the Cold Palace?

Or did the two companies reach some other agreement?

That's why Lady Wuya tried to help Wei Caiwei rise in rank, even making her a concubine.

Mu Yue didn't know which guess was correct.

But she clearly remembered that many servants in the palace came from families of bondservants.

If the crow refers to cooperation with the Wei family, then the matter is relatively easy to resolve.

If all the bondservants in the palace were to unite and work together as one, the palace would probably be their domain.

If the Emperor and Empress Dowager are completely misled, that will be a huge problem.

It could even lead to the resurgence of anti-Qing and pro-Ming forces.

Mu Yue hid behind the door, pondering these things.

The conversation inside the door did not stop.
