I died tragically in my previous life, and I want to be an empress in my next life

Two servants were holding down Aunt Yun, whose hands and feet were tied. Aunt Yun's face was full of fear and anger. When she saw Pei Zhiyan coming in, she trembled all over and shrank into a ball.

Pei Zhiyan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. She walked forward, leaned over, pinched Aunt Yun's chin, and asked coldly, "Aunt Yun, was the show just now good?"

Aunt Yun had a piece of rag stuffed in her mouth, so she could only make a "wuwu" sound. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Pei Zhiyan fiercely.

Pei Zhiyan didn't care about Aunt Yun's look at all. She let go of her hand, contemptuously pulled the rag out of Aunt Yun's mouth, stood up straight, and said in an even colder tone, "Aunt Yun, your precious daughter has now become someone else's daughter. How do you feel now?"

"From now on, I guess you will never see her again."

Pei Zhiyan's words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Aunt Yun's heart. Aunt Yun's face instantly lost its color, and her eyes became even more empty and desperate.

"No! Xuan'er will always be my daughter, no one can take her away from her!" Aunt Yun shook her head vigorously.

Seeing Aunt Yun in pain, Pei Zhiyan felt no pity in her heart. She remembered that in her previous life, she also believed in this woman's slander and took the thief as her mother. How sad must her mother be at that time?

"Oh, no one can take her away from you. She is my mother's daughter now, Aunt Yun. Didn't you see she was very happy just now? She has been waiting for this day for a long time." Pei Zhiyan said with a sneer.

Aunt Yun fell to the ground, her body trembling. She had just watched Pei Zhixuan kowtow three times and nine times in front of Lin's tablet, but she could do nothing. Her heart felt as if it was cut by a cold knife.

"Aunt Yun, what other bad things have you done?" Pei Zhiyan asked coldly.

"What do you mean, Princess?" Aunt Yun raised her head and looked at Pei Zhiyan.

"You are still pretending to be confused in front of me! How did my mother die? You know it very well!" Pei Zhiyan glared at Aunt Yun, her eyes as cold as ice.

"Princess, please don't wrongly accuse me! I have nothing to do with the lady's death!" Aunt Yun hurriedly explained, with beads of sweat already appearing on her forehead.

"Hmph! Do you think I will believe your lies? I tell you, you'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I will make you regret it!" There was a fierce look in Pei Zhiyan's eyes, as if she wanted to see through Aunt Yun.

"My dear sister's health is getting worse day by day. What if one day she has an accident like Madam Yue'e..." Pei Zhiyan's tone was full of disdain and threats, which made Aunt Yun feel a chill.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, back then, it was me who secretly changed Madam's medicine..." Aunt Yun said in a trembling voice.

After hearing this, not to mention Pei Zhiyan, even Yin Liu wanted to rush forward and strangle her to death.

"You! You vicious woman!" Pei Zhiyan's chest rose and fell violently, with anger, disappointment, and endless sorrow. She thought of her mother's kind smile and her endless love for her.

Aunt Yun prostrated herself on the ground, shaking like a sieve. "I was wrong, I was really wrong...Please, Princess, let Xuan'er go! Xuan'er is innocent."

"She's innocent? Then my mother isn't innocent either?" Pei Zhiyan became more and more excited as she spoke. She clenched her hands tightly and tried her best to suppress her emotions. "My mother has always been kind to you. Is this how you repay her? You are such an ungrateful bunch!"

"Princess, I was really confused for a moment and made such a mistake. Please let Xuan'er go for the sake of her sister!" Aunt Yun knelt on the ground, stretched out her hand to pull Pei Zhiyan's skirt, tears constantly falling.

"Since you know your mistake, spend the rest of your life atonement for it!" Pei Zhiyan said lightly, then gestured to Yin Liu.

Yin Liu came over with a bowl of dark soup, leaned over Aunt Yun, and said coldly, "Aunt, please drink it."

"This...what is this?" Aunt Yun's face suddenly turned pale, and her body involuntarily shrank back, and she asked in horror.

"Don't worry, the princess won't let you die now. It would be a great bargain for you if she let you die!" Yin Liu said coldly, "You'd better drink it obediently."

"Princess, Princess, please spare my life!" Aunt Yun kept shaking her head and her whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Several servants quickly stepped forward and held down Aunt Yun's hands, feet and head. Yin Liu stepped forward, pinched her chin, and forced the black soup down her throat.

As the soup poured in, Aunt Yun began to struggle desperately, but her hands and feet were held tightly, unable to move. Her throat was choked by the soup, and she could only whimper in pain. Her face turned blue and purple, and her eyes were wide open, obviously in great pain.

After everyone let go of Aunt Yun, she collapsed to the ground helplessly. She desperately scratched her throat with both hands, trying to spit out the soup she had just swallowed. But it was too late, the soup had already flowed down her throat into her stomach.

Aunt Yun was terrified and opened her mouth, wanting to shout, but could only make meaningless whimpers. She felt her throat being strangled by a strong force, making her unable to speak. At this moment, she understood what the liquid she had just been fed was - a mute drug!

Originally, she was still hoping to stay at the manor for a while, waiting for Pei Zhixuan to give birth to a boy for Prince Jing's mansion, and then find a chance to pick her up. She believed in her charm and wisdom, and believed that she could regain the favor of the Prime Minister.

In the past, the Prime Minister showed pity to me only because of my beauty and talent. Now that I have become mute, will the Prime Minister still treat me the same way as before?

She remembered that the Prime Minister doted on her in every way and often recited poems, painted, admired the moon and listened to the wind with her in the mansion. At that time, she was the most favored woman in the mansion and enjoyed unlimited glory. Even the wife from the general's mansion could do nothing about her.

However, a man's heart can sometimes be the most ruthless. When Cui entered the house, the Prime Minister was attracted by her youth and beauty, and he doted on her from then on. But she, the woman who once enjoyed unlimited glory in Pei's mansion, had been forgotten by the Prime Minister.

If the Prime Minister saw her in this state, neither human nor ghost, he would probably be disgusted!

Aunt Yun collapsed powerlessly on the ground, staring ahead with empty eyes. She wanted to shout, but it was all in vain. She could only cry silently, her heart filled with helplessness and despair.

Pei Zhiyan glanced at Aunt Yun coldly, said nothing, and turned and left.
