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

Chapter 164 This old slave is just pretending to be sick

After Mother Xue left, Qingyao was puzzled and asked, "Princess, this matter must be related to Mother Xue. Why did Princess let her go so easily?"

After all, Mother Xue is someone Xuanyuan Ping values. She has not yet broken off relations with Xuanyuan Ping, so she will naturally give Mother Xue some face. Moreover, today she has also given her a warning.

Of course, she would not say this to Qingyao. Although Qingyao has always regarded herself as her person in the mansion, human hearts are unpredictable. After living two lives, how could she trust others so easily again?

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly and said, "Qingyao, although you have been in the mansion for a short time, you are thoughtful and knowledgeable. I have my own ideas on this matter."

Seeing this, Qingyao didn't ask any more questions, so she picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. She was smart, she knew Pei Zhiyan was a woman with a strong opinion, and it was not easy for her to gain a foothold in this mansion, so she had to act with caution. At this time, the nanny came in holding Xiaobao, and when Xiaobao saw Pei Zhiyan, he stretched out his hands to hug her.

Pei Zhiyan put down the teacup in her hand, gently picked up Xiaobao, picked up a piece of cake on the table and fed it to him.

Xiaobao reached out and snatched the pastry from Pei Zhiyan's hand, and actually stuffed it into her mouth with a gurgling sound. His childish appearance made everyone laugh.

"The little grandson is getting cuter and cuter." Qingyao said with a smile, "Now he and the princess are getting closer and closer."

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, "You should also give birth to children for the prince as soon as possible and give Xiaobao a brother."

Qingyao blushed and lowered her head in silence.

Although the prince often went to her room, she knew in her heart that in his heart, she was just a plaything. If she could give birth to a child, she would have someone to rely on in the future.

However, she had been in the mansion for almost half a year, but there had been no movement, and she was very anxious.

After playing with Xiaobao for a while, the nanny saw that Xiaobao was a little tired, so she took Xiaobao away.

At this time, Pei Zhiyan asked casually, "How is Concubine Xuan these days?"

Qingyao frowned slightly, "I have no friendship with Concubine Xuan, and I don't usually go to that courtyard, but I heard that Madam Cui often goes there."

"They used to be master and servant, so their relationship is naturally deep." Qingyao added meaningfully.

Pei Zhiyan smiled gently. She knew that Xiao Cui often went to Yuxiangxie. She also knew what Xiao Cui was doing there.

It is said that every time Xiao Cui went there, the decorations in Yuxiangxie would be broken into pieces. Now, Yuxiangxie is almost empty.

Evil will be dealt with by evil, so let the two of them fight it out.

The next day, a little maid in Mother Xue's room came in a panic to report that Mother Xue was sick.

Pei Zhiyan gently stroked the little bean curd in her arms, her eyes full of doting. The little bean curd turned over, lay in her arms, and stretched lazily. Pei Zhiyan smiled and gently picked up the meat soup, and the tempting aroma filled the air.

"Come on, little bean curd, eat some more..." she said softly, her eyes full of love. Little bean curd seemed to understand her call, opened its little mouth, and ate sweetly.

Pei Zhiyan stroked the little bean curd's back gently, feeling the soft hair sliding across her fingertips. The little bean curd made a "woohoo" sound from time to time, as if protesting that the touch was not comfortable enough.

The little maid, who was about ten years old, stood timidly by the door and watched.

Yin Liu walked over and said in an unhappy tone, "Why don't you go find the palace doctor if you are sick? What's the point of finding the princess? Can the princess still treat her?"

The little maid saw that Pei Zhiyan didn't even raise her eyelids, so she bit her lip and seemed a little hesitant. "I saw that Madam Xue was seriously ill, so I thought of reporting it to the princess first to see how to deal with it."

Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly, put down the small bean bun, and said to the little maid, "Go and ask the palace doctor first. I will go there later."

The maid felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly responded and retreated.

Yin Liu looked at her back and thought of what happened yesterday. She said worriedly, "Miss, Madam Xue was fine yesterday. How come she is sick now? Is there going to be something strange going on again?"

In the past, whenever Mother Xue was sick, Pei Zhiyan, as a princess, would serve her every day until she recovered. What people didn't know was that Mother Xue was her mother-in-law, and Mother Xue also enjoyed this treatment.

Pei Zhiyan just chuckled and continued to hold the little bean bun and tease him.

This Mrs. Xue really has herself to blame. I let her off yesterday, but she still doesn't know how to restrain herself.

After listening to the report from the little maid, Mother Xue knew that Pei Zhiyan said she wanted to come and see her. She sneered in her heart and thought, "Humph, since she is here today, I will definitely make her feel good." She was very proud of herself and lay on the bed waiting for Pei Zhiyan's arrival.

Mother Xue had been lying in bed for a whole day waiting for her, and she didn't dare to eat much. Her face was also showing a bit of fatigue. Pei Zhiyan, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked slowly into the room with a bit of indifference and pride on her face.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Pei Zhiyan couldn't help but frown. She laughed secretly in her heart, thinking that this person's acting skills were getting more and more perfect.

She walked to Mother Xue's bedside and spoke softly, but her tone was somewhat distant and arrogant, "Mother Xue, I heard that you were ill. This princess is very worried."

Mother Xue lay on the carved bed, her face pale. She coughed a few times, a barely perceptible resentment flashed in her eyes, and she said lightly, "Thank you, Princess, for your concern."

"There are many affairs in the palace today, and I have been busy until now. I hope Mother Xue doesn't mind." Pei Zhiyan said again.

"I am so grateful that the princess can come." Mother Xue's heart was surging. She gritted her teeth and the resentment in her heart surged like a tide. Humph! What do you mean by busy affairs in the mansion? It's obvious that you don't take me seriously.

"How does Mother Xue feel now?" Pei Zhiyan asked again, her brows full of concern.

Mother Xue sighed softly and glanced at Pei Zhiyan meaningfully, "This old slave is really old and useless. I don't know why I couldn't get out of bed this morning."

"What does the court doctor say?"

"The court doctor only said that I am weak and need good care. But the care period will probably be quite long." Mother Xue said helplessly.

Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly and sighed softly, "What should I do?"

She sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and held Mother Xue's hand, and took the opportunity to feel her pulse. She found that the pulse was steady and there was nothing unusual. She knew in her heart that the old slave was just pretending to be sick.

The fact that she was studying medicine with Song Qingfeng was not known to anyone except the General's Mansion and Yinping and Yinliu who were by her side. Therefore, Mother Xue did not know that she was well versed in medical theory and had medical skills.
