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

Pei Zhiyan's face darkened, and she suddenly stepped forward and slapped him. Pei Zhixuan covered her face with a look of astonishment, "You! How dare you hit me!"

As she spoke, she bared her fangs and claws and was about to pounce, but Yinliu and a few servants hurriedly grabbed her and the situation was under control.

Pei Zhiyan stepped forward and slapped her again, looking at her coldly, "You have no respect for the inferior! How can I not hit you!"

Pei Zhixuan was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground, hitting her forehead against a protruding stone. A thin line of blood immediately flowed down her forehead, which was shocking to see.

"Concubine!"

Seeing this, Mother Xu was about to go forward to help her, but Pei Zhiyan's cold look made her stop in her tracks and she dared not go forward.

Pei Zhixuan's eyes widened, and she suddenly struggled madly, "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Yinliu and several maids tried their best to control her, but her struggle became more and more violent.

Pei Zhixuan's eyes were full of hatred. "You vicious woman! I tell you, Xiaobao is mine! Don't even think about it! I won't let you go! I will make you pay the price!"

Pei Zhiyan looked down at Pei Zhixuan on the ground coldly, and said word by word, "Pei Zhixuan! I used to give in to you and indulge you, not because I was stupid or easy to bully, but because I cared about you being my sister and didn't bother with you. I didn't want others to say that our Pei family didn't have strict family education, and I didn't want to make things difficult for the prince, but..."

"Listen to me carefully. From this moment on, I will no longer give in to you or indulge you. If you continue to be unruly, don't blame me for being rude! I believe the prince won't blame me either!"

Pei Zhixuan shuddered, but she still glared at her with hatred, "Pei Zhiyan, do you think you won? You are just a pawn used by the prince! The prince loves me!"

Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart. Oh, Prince? Does it matter whether the Prince loves her or not? However, she still wanted to provoke Pei Zhixuan.

She pinched Pei Zhixuan's chin and said coldly, "If the prince loves you so much, why did he leave Xiaobao in Yimei Garden?"

"You!" Pei Zhiyan glared at her.

"Send her back to Yuxiangxie and keep her under good care!" Pei Zhiyan said sternly, "Lock all the servants of Yuxiangxie into the woodshed and wait for their fate!"

Yinliu responded and took Pei Zhixuan back to Yuxiangxie with a few servants.

"You can't do this to me! The prince will take care of it for me when he comes back!" Pei Zhixuan was still shouting.

Pei Zhiyan snorted coldly, turned around and went back to Yime Garden.

In the distance, a little maid saw that everyone had dispersed, and then hurried to Mother Xue's yard.

After listening to the report from the little maid, the teacup in Mother Xue's hand trembled slightly. The princess has always been known for her kindness and generosity in the palace, but today she actually beat Concubine Xuan in public and injured her. Ha, it seems that the princess is also a hypocritical person, and she was just pretending before.

Today's matter must not be let go like this. When the prince comes back, let's see how she will explain it to him.

In the evening, as soon as Xuanyuan Ping entered the Yime Garden, Mother Xue followed him in.

Pei Zhiyan watched all this and sneered in her heart. It seemed that Mother Xue had been keeping a close eye on Yimeyuan these days.

"Mother Xue, the prince has been very busy with official duties these days. If it is not an urgent matter, please don't disturb him." Pei Zhiyan said lightly.

When Mother Xue heard Pei Zhiyan say this, she was secretly delighted. It seemed that the princess was also afraid that the prince would know what happened today, and deliberately wanted to shut her up.

She didn't want to let herself say it, so how could I fulfill her wish?

She cleared her throat, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "I understand that the prince is busy with official duties, and I shouldn't disturb him for such a small matter. But after thinking about it, I think only the prince can make the decision."

"What's the matter?" Xuanyuan Ping asked puzzledly.

"Your Highness," Madam Xue hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I heard that this afternoon, the Princess and Concubine Xuan had an argument, and everyone in the mansion knew about it."

Xuanyuan Ping put down the teacup, raised his head, and looked at Pei Zhiyan in confusion, "Is this true?"

Pei Zhiyan lowered her eyes slightly, with a hint of fear in her voice, "My Lord, today's events are all my responsibility."

When Mother Xue saw this, she felt even more proud. Humph, now you are afraid. Let's see how the prince will deal with you!

Pei Zhiyan knelt slightly and continued, "The prince ordered my sister to repent in Yuxiang Pavilion. I should have taken good care of her, but I was careless and let her run away. I have sent her back to Yuxiang Pavilion and locked all the servants in the woodshed, waiting for the prince's decision."

"Your Highness, it's all my fault for failing in management. Please punish me!" Pei Zhiyan choked with tears in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Ping gently supported Pei Zhiyan and said gently, "Yan'er, don't blame yourself too much. It was those servants who were so bold and reckless that they ignored my words."

"Your Highness is right. I am too weak. Even if some servants in the mansion do not know their limits, I will strictly discipline them and will never let such things happen again."

Pei Zhiyan glanced at Xue's mother meaningfully as she spoke, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Mother Xue's face turned red and white at this moment. She knew that Pei Zhiyan was making a veiled accusation.

"The princess was very domineering today. She even slapped Concubine Xuan several times with her own hands, leaving her head broken and bleeding." Mother Xue snorted coldly and said.

"Even if Concubine Xuan came to Yimei Garden to cause trouble first, the princess would not have to beat Concubine Xuan until her head was broken and bloody. With such means, isn't the princess afraid of affecting the reputation of the palace? As a princess, you should know what is the limit and what is decent."

Xuanyuan Ping looked at Pei Zhiyan with surprise in his eyes. In his mind, Pei Zhiyan was gentle as water, weak and lovely, so how could she do such a tough thing?

Pei Zhiyan blinked her eyes and said, "Haha, as the mistress of the house, am I going to be gossiped about for taking care of a concubine?"

Seeing Xuanyuan Che turn his gaze towards her, she couldn't help but sniff and said in a wronged tone, "Your Highness, although I am not a ruthless person, I also have my own bottom line. My sister's behavior today was really excessive. I had no choice but to take action."

"Today, the servants in the mansion are all watching. My sister is a concubine of Prince Jing's mansion, but she is cursing like a shrew. If this gets out, wouldn't people laugh at my mansion being disrespectful and damaging the dignity of the royal family?"

"I was so angry that I slapped her twice. As for the wound on her head, it was caused by her accidentally hitting it when she rushed over to hit me. The maids and servants in the courtyard saw it at the time. It has nothing to do with me."

Xuanyuan Ping also knew Pei Zhixuan's personality. She was prone to having a bad temper, so he remained silent.
