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

Chapter 138 Mother Xue, are you cursing the young master?

"Since the Crown Princess is pregnant, it is better for her to eat less hawthorn cake. Hawthorn is not good for pregnant women!" Pei Zhiyan said meaningfully.

Zhao Wanru's hands trembled, and the cake almost slipped from her hands. "This, I haven't heard of any taboos. Thank you, Princess Jing, for reminding me."

Pei Zhiyan gently held Zhao Wanru's hand and said, "Crown Princess, you are pregnant now. Your every move is related to the safety of the child. I know you may be a little greedy, but for the sake of the child, you should be patient."

Zhao Wanru lowered her head and was silent for a while, then nodded gently, "I understand, Princess Jing. Thank you for reminding me."

Pei Zhiyan observed Zhao Wanru calmly. Logically, Zhao Wanru should be very nervous, but she was surprisingly calm.

This series of questions arose in Pei Zhiyan's mind, and her intuition told her that this matter was not simple.

With these questions, Pei Zhiyan left the palace.

After returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, Pei Zhiyan went straight to find Mother Xue, who was very experienced in this area.

After Mother Xue sat down, Pei Zhiyan asked directly, "Mother Xue, today I have something to ask you. What are the consequences if a pregnant woman eats hawthorn cake?"

Mother Xue frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said solemnly, "Hawthorn cake is delicious, but it is not suitable for pregnant women." She paused and continued, "Hawthorn has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Eating too much may cause miscarriage."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhiyan's face changed slightly. It seemed that her guess was correct. There must be something wrong with Zhao Wanru's pregnancy. However, she didn't know whether the problem lay with Zhao Wanru or with the prince and the queen.

Seeing her strange expression, Mother Xue couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did the princess ask this question today?"

Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and said casually, "I heard recently that the aunt of Pei Mansion seems to be pregnant. The aunt usually likes to eat hawthorn cakes. This princess is worried that she will eat it by mistake."

Mother Xue nodded slightly, understanding Pei Zhiyan's concerns, and said in a deep voice, "If the concubine of the Pei Mansion is pregnant, she should indeed pay more attention to her diet."

The next day, Pei Zhiyan entered the General's Mansion again. Her goal was clear, which was to find Song Qingfeng and ask him to prescribe a life-saving pill.

Song Qingfeng looked at her helplessly, frowning, "Aren't you making things difficult for me, your teacher?"

"Master, you are wrong." Pei Zhiyan smiled. "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Master, I will always remember your kindness."

"How can this be a medicine that saves lives? It's more like harming people." Song Qingfeng said with a stern face.

Pei Zhiyan giggled, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "Sometimes harming people is also saving people."

Song Qingfeng looked at her deeply, really having no way to deal with her, and then he sighed, "Okay, I'll do my best as your teacher."

After dealing with Song Qingfeng, Pei Zhiyan had another important thing to do, so she soon arrived at Fuyun Building.

Inside the secret room of Fuyun Building

"Commander Xiao, send people to keep an eye on the Queen and the people in the Eastern Palace during this period of time. Whenever they leave the city, they must be followed closely to see where they go and who they contact." Pei Zhiyan said.

"Yes, Miss." Xiao Lin responded respectfully.

"In addition, we must also keep an eye on any unusual movements in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty, especially the people around the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty." Pei Zhiyan continued, with a sly look in her eyes.

The Loyalty Marquis Mansion is the maternal family of the Queen, and is extremely powerful. In the deep palace, although the Queen is respected, there are many things that are inconvenient for her to do. These trivial matters are often handed over to the people of the Loyalty Marquis Mansion to handle.

Xiao Lin took the order and left.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea, with a barely perceptible cruelty in her eyes. If the Queen and the Crown Prince were really so bold, they would be courting their own death.

As soon as Pei Zhiyan entered Yime Garden, she heard a lot of noise inside the garden.

Yinping and the wet nurse were seen protecting Xiaobao, while Mother Xue and a few servants were surrounding them menacingly.

Mother Xue pointed at Yin Ping and the wet nurse with a sullen face and shouted, "If anything happens to the young master, can you bear the consequences? Give the young master to me now!"

Several servants also echoed the voice, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Yin Ping stepped forward and said to Mother Xue, "You can't just take the young master away like this! Everything needs to wait until the princess returns before we can make a decision!"

Mother Xue smiled coldly, her eyes fierce, and pointed at Yin Ping and said, "You servant, don't try to pressure me with the princess!"

The atmosphere in the garden became increasingly tense, as if it was about to explode. Pei Zhiyan walked into the garden calmly, and a cold voice rang out, "What's the noise?"

When everyone heard the voice, they lowered their heads, not daring to look her in the eyes.

Seeing this, Mother Xue could only temporarily suppress her arrogance and said, "The princess has returned just in time. The young master is not feeling well, and I wanted to take care of him myself, but they tried to stop me in every way possible."

Yin Ping stepped forward and argued with a trembling voice, "Princess, please understand. The young master just coughed a few times and is not seriously injured. But Madam Xue scolded us servants, saying that we did not take good care of the young master and insisted on taking him away."

Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly, looking at Yinping's messy hair and a faint mark on her face, and she understood.

Oh, this Madam Xue is really getting more and more outrageous. She beats the maidservant whenever she wants?!

She raised her sword-like eyebrows slightly, knowing what was going on in her mind, but remained calm on her face. She only said lightly, "Take the young master back to rest first, and don't scare him."

Upon hearing this, Yin Ping quickly responded, "Yes, Princess."

Just as she and her wet nurse were about to leave, Mother Xue blocked their way.

"Princess, it's not just a few coughs. Coughing is a sign of illness. If not treated in time, it may lead to a serious illness. The young master is in delicate health and must be taken seriously." Mother Xue's tone revealed a hint of nervousness, but also a bit of deliberately artificial concern.

"The young master is blessed by God and will be protected by God. Mother Xue, are you cursing the young master?" Pei Zhiyan looked at Mother Xue with a sharp gaze.

As soon as these words came out, Mother Xue's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly said, "Princess, this is not what I meant."

Pei Zhiyan glanced at her, smiled slightly, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and said lightly, "In that case, Mother Xue, if there is nothing else, please go back. If the young master is unwell, this princess will take good care of him."

This was the first time that Pei Zhiyan did not give Mother Xue face in front of the servants. Mother Xue felt ashamed and annoyed, but she could do nothing about it.

It seems that only the prince can decide on this matter. No, he must keep the young master by his side, otherwise the princess will probably look down on him more and more.

Mother Xue thought bitterly and left Yime Garden angrily.
