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

Although Aunt Yun was panicking in her heart, she pretended to be calm on the surface. She turned to the palace doctor and shouted, "Tell me, what's going on? You have been in the palace for many years, and the palace has always treated you with kindness. How come you made a mistake today?"

The palace doctor was so frightened that he was almost out of his wits. He trembled and said, "Madam Yun, I really don't know how I could have made a wrong diagnosis. I have always been very attentive in treating the patients in your palace..."

Before he could finish his words, Madam Pei also shouted, "Humph! Useless thing! We in the Pei Mansion feed you with good food and drink every day, but you are actually a liar and quack doctor! It seems that we must send you to the government!"

When Aunt Yun heard that they were going to be sent to the government, she panicked again, but soon calmed down, walked to Old Madam Pei, and said softly, "Old Madam, I think this matter should not be made a big deal. If it is reported to the government, people in the capital will laugh at the Pei Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion for nothing. It's better to just kick them out."

After hearing what Aunt Yun said, Old Madam Pei was silent for a moment. Although she was very angry, Aunt Yun reminded her that this matter really should not be known to too many people, otherwise the reputation of the Pei Mansion and the Prince Jing Mansion would be affected.

She nodded, then turned to look at Pei Zhiyan and Pei Xiangye, "Yan'er, Xiangye, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

"Grandmother, Yan'er is a married woman, so it's not appropriate for her to interfere in the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, since this person made a misdiagnosis, he must pay the price. The mansion cannot keep useless people, and it cannot tolerate behavior that ruins the family's reputation." Pei Zhiyan said lightly.

So the old lady said sternly, "Beat him out with sticks!"

"Yes, old lady." Aunt Yun responded and took a few servants to drive the palace doctor out.

Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart and said nothing, just looked at them quietly. This court doctor was just a pawn of Aunt Yun, and this farce was over.

In the previous life, Aunt Yun and Pei Zhixuan took advantage of this miscarriage to make me feel deeply guilty. It was this guilt that forced me to agree to Aunt Yun's promotion to the position of legal wife in order to compensate Pei Zhixuan. After returning to the palace, I took great care of Pei Zhixuan and gave in to her in everything.

In this life, Pei Zhiyan was already on guard. After Pei Zhixuan returned home, she placed spies in Yuxiangxie to watch her every move, including her menstrual period.

Although the true identities of Aunt Yun and Pei Zhixuan have not been exposed in this life, I believe that Madam Pei is such a smart person that when she comes to her senses in the future, she will definitely understand about 70% of what is going on.

Since Aunt Yun dared to let the court doctor lie, she must have planned a way out. With her shrewdness, she would never dare to act rashly without a perfect plan in the complicated struggle of the mansion. She had already made arrangements, so if the matter was exposed, she would be able to retreat unscathed.

Therefore, there is no need to waste my energy here. After all, the highlight is coming next, and I still have a big gift to give to Aunt Yun.

Seeing that Pei Zhixuan was fine, Madam Pei said, "Xuan'er, the mansion has arranged for someone to get medicine. You should rest well and take good care of yourself."

"Yes, sister, you can rest in the mansion for a while. There is no need to rush back to the palace. I will talk to the prince for you when I go back." Pei Zhiyan had an imperceptible sneer on her lips.

Pei Zhixuan was very annoyed. Today's play was in vain. If she stayed in Pei's house for a few more days, Pei Zhiyan might find a chance to win the favor of the prince.

So she immediately said, "Xuan'er is not in good health. Grandmother and sister are worried about her. However, I don't think it's serious now. I can go back home after a short rest."

After hearing this, Madam Pei said, "Well, you should take a rest first."

At this time, Aunt Yun came in again, smiling, and said, "Princess, old lady, Prime Minister, everyone has been so busy with the concubine's affairs that they haven't had lunch yet. I have asked someone to prepare the food. Please move over and have your meal."

Everyone walked towards the main hall together.

Arriving at the main hall, Aunt Yun led Pei Zhiyan to the table and said respectfully, "Princess, please take a seat."

Pei Zhiyan looked at Aunt Yun's smiling face, but couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She had returned to Pei's house so many times, and every time Aunt Yun arranged for her to sit in the seat of honor. She naively thought that this was a sign of Aunt Yun's love for her.

Now it seems that Aunt Yun is clearly setting a trap for her.

Although her current status was worthy of the seat of honor in Pei's mansion, there was still an old lady and a prime minister in the mansion. As a junior, she should know how to respect and be filial. If she really sat on the seat of honor without any courtesy, I'm afraid that Aunt Yun would probably take the opportunity to make a fuss and spread her bad image of being disrespectful to her elders.

Pei Zhiyan glanced at Old Madam Pei and Prime Minister Pei calmly, and sure enough, the two of them looked a little unnatural.

So, Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, "It's not Aunt Yun's fault. Aunt Yun is a concubine after all, so it's not surprising that she doesn't know some etiquette. Grandmother and the Prime Minister are here, how dare Yan'er overstep her bounds, so please take a seat, Grandmother."

When Aunt Yun heard this, her face turned pale and red. This bitch was slapping her in the face, simply saying that she was just a concubine.

She felt a surge of anger and humiliation, but she knew she couldn't lose her temper at this moment. She could only suppress her anger and try to keep a calm smile, trying to save some face. "Your Highness is right. I don't know some etiquette. After all, your Highness is a member of the royal family. When you come to the Prime Minister's residence, you must be treated as a distinguished guest."

"Today is the Pei family's family dinner. I am a daughter of the Pei family, so I must respect the rules of the Pei family. Grandmother is the eldest, so you should sit in the seat of honor." Pei Zhiyan said with a smile, and helped Madam Pei to her seat, and sat on her left, and Lord Pei sat on Madam Pei's right.

On days like this in the past, Pei Zhiyan would warmly invite Aunt Yun to sit down and eat together, but today Pei Zhiyan did not say a word, and Old Madam Pei and Prime Minister Pei naturally did not say anything either, so Aunt Yun had to stand awkwardly by the side and serve the dishes.

Seeing that everyone was almost done eating, Prime Minister Pei said that he had official business to attend to, so he left first, leaving only the female family members behind.
