    [A Qing Dynasty Transmigration Drama! The Imperial Concubine Tears Apart Consort De, Who Raised Emperor Yongzheng] Transmigrated into the body of Consort Tongjia, who died young during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Rui Rui immediately tore up the script—first, she kicked over her gigolo father; second, she cut off Uya's path to the throne.

At a palace banquet, Consort De feigned to offer pastries, but Rui Rui publicly tested them for poison: "Trying to harm my son?" When Emperor Kangxi wanted to depose the Crown Prince, she pulled out her notes on *The Prince*: "Fourth Prince studied diligently until the third watch last night." Years later, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Yongzheng, with red eyes, helped her onto the Empress Dowager's throne: "Mother, your son has sent all your enemies to build your mausoleum."
