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

At this time, a team of patrolling Jinwu Guards wearing armor and carrying long swords on their waists came over in unison. The Jinwu Guards were the guard army in the capital, and their duty was to maintain order and security in the city.

The leader of the Jinwu Guard, a tall and mighty general, took a step forward and shouted, "Stop! Who is causing trouble here?"

Upon seeing this, Madam Zhang immediately cried, "You came at the right time. I am the wife of Zhang Dushi. This vixen bullied me. I want to teach her a lesson!"

The leader of the Jinwu Guard frowned slightly, and glanced at Madam Zhang with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Madam Zhang, I want to maintain the stability of the capital. If you have any grievances, you can go to the government office to file a complaint."

Madam Zhang's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this. She angrily said, "My father is the Minister of War. You... you are just a small leader of the Jinwu Guards, how dare you meddle in my affairs?"

The leader said calmly, "It is my duty. If Madam Zhang disturbs the order of the capital city out of personal grudge, I cannot ignore it. Please don't embarrass me, Madam Zhang."

At this time, more and more people gathered around, pointing and talking.

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but she also knew that she couldn't use force at this time, so she pointed at Li Qiuniang and said, "Humph! You are lucky today, but I'm not sure about next time!"

After saying this, he left with his servants.

After they walked away, Li Qiuniang walked up to the leader of the Jinwu Guards, bowed, and said softly, "Thanks to the officials for saving me today, I am very grateful. I have prepared some tea, please give me some favors."

The leader waved his hand and said calmly, "Miss, you are too polite. It is my duty. It is not worth mentioning."

After saying this, he turned around and left with everyone.

"It was all thanks to Manager Yu who invited the Jinwu Guards." Li Qiuniang said with lingering fear, "If the Jinwu Guards hadn't arrived in time, Fuyun Tower might have been destroyed."

Manager Yu said, "Miss Qiuniang, although we have the help of the Jinwu Guards this time, it is not a long-term solution. I don't think Madam Zhang will give up."

Manager Yu nodded and said, "Yes, this time, with the help of the Jinwu Guards, Fuyun Tower was spared from disaster, but this is not a long-term solution. I think Madam Zhang is a ruthless person, and she will definitely not let it go."

Li Qiuniang smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps, only if I leave, I won't cause trouble to Fuyun Building."

Manager Yu took a deep breath and said, "Miss, what are you talking about? Don't worry, we can't beat Madam Zhang, but the princess won't ignore it. I will report it to the princess right away."

"Will this cause trouble for the princess?" Li Qiuniang asked worriedly.

Manager Yu shook his head. "The princess is a sensible person. She will definitely help Miss Qiu Niang. Moreover, Fuyun Building is the princess's property. If Madam Zhang dares to attack Fuyun Building, it will be a disgrace to the princess. The princess will definitely not ignore it."

"Thank you very much, Manager." Li Qiuniang said gratefully.

"Miss Qiuniang, you are too polite. I will go to Prince Jing's Mansion now." After saying this, Steward Yu turned around and left, hurried to Prince Jing's Mansion.

When they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, Steward Yu reported to Pei Zhiyan in detail what had happened that day.

"Princess, that Madam Zhang is really too much." Manager Yu said angrily, "If the Jinwu Guards hadn't shown up in time today, Fuyun Tower would have been smashed by her!"

After listening to Manager Yu's narration, Pei Zhiyan couldn't help but frown, pondering for a moment, with a hint of coldness in her eyes. This Madam Zhang was so arrogant that she openly caused trouble in the capital in broad daylight.

"You go back first and tell Qiu Niang to stay in Fuyun Tower with peace of mind. This matter will be handled by me." Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and said calmly.

After Manager Yu took the order and left, Pei Zhiyan sat in the room, deep in thought. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her that perhaps she didn't have to do anything herself, so she stood up and walked towards Xuanyuan Ping's study.

Since Zhang Musheng is now a capable subordinate of Xuanyuan Ping, let Xuanyuan Ping handle it and give Zhang Musheng a lesson.

As soon as Pei Zhiyan walked to the door of the study, she heard teasing voices coming from inside. Pei Zhiyan snorted coldly. She knew without guessing that it was Pei Zhixuan who was inside.

When the servant at the door saw Pei Zhiyan coming, he knocked on the door and went in to report to Xuanyuan Ping, "My Lord, the princess is here."

Xuanyuan Ping was stunned for a moment, then said, "Well, let her in."

The servant opened the door and invited Pei Zhiyan in.

When Pei Zhiyan walked in, the atmosphere in the study was a little subtle. Xuanyuan Ping was sitting at the desk, and Pei Zhixuan was leaning against his side. The two of them were looking at a scroll and teasing each other.

"Why is the princess here at this time?" Xuanyuan Ping asked in surprise. He moved his eyes away from the scroll and looked at Pei Zhiyan who walked in.

A trace of doubt flashed through his mind. What was she doing here so late? Pei Zhiyan rarely came to see him so late.

Pei Zhixuan also raised her head, with a charming smile on her face, and said boastfully, "Sister is here, we were just looking at this painting, the prince promised to paint a better one for me."

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, not paying attention to the intimacy in Pei Zhixuan's words. She had no feelings for Xuanyuan Ping any longer, so how could she be jealous?

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Ping showed a doting smile on his face. He nodded, pointed at the scroll, and said, "This is an ancient painting that I found a few days ago. It is said to have some history. I am studying it with Xuan'er."

Pei Zhiyan didn't have the time to appreciate these ancient paintings. She sneered in her heart, but kept a gentle smile on her face. She said softly, "Your Highness is really a refined person. It's a pity that I know nothing about these antiques, calligraphy and paintings."

When Xuanyuan Ping heard this, he felt bored. This Pei was really a person without taste.

"Your Majesty, I came here today to discuss something important with you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Xuanyuan Ping asked puzzledly, his eyes moving away from the scroll and turning to Pei Zhiyan.

Pei Zhiyan glanced at Pei Zhixuan, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Xuanyuan Ping hesitated for a moment. He knew Pei Zhiyan must have some official business to discuss with him, so he waved his hand and said, "Xuan'er, go back to Yuxiangxie first. I will come to find you later."

"Your Highness..." Pei Zhixuan was a little dissatisfied. Humph, what is going on behind my back? Could it be that Pei Zhixuan wanted to get rid of me so that she could seduce the prince?

"Be good, go back first. I'll come to you after I finish discussing with the princess." Xuanyuan Ping patted Pei Zhixuan's little hand and said gently.

Pei Zhixuan frowned in dissatisfaction, but still bowed and left. When she turned around, she glared at Pei Zhiyan fiercely.
