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

Hearing her say this, Pei Zhiyan became alert and quickly asked, "Why did Mother Xue say that?"

Mother Xue sighed and explained in a serious tone, "If you take too many supplements, if the fetus grows too large, it will easily cause dystocia during childbirth, and in severe cases, it may cause harm to both mother and child. When I was in the palace, I once saw a concubine who took too many supplements and caused dystocia due to the fetus being too large. In the end, both mother and child were lost. Although food supplements are beneficial, too much is as bad as too little."

“So there is such a truth in it.”

Pei Zhiyan's heart tightened after hearing this, and a worried look appeared on her face. She knew that Mother Xue was experienced and had seen countless palace secrets, and her words should not be ignored. So, she asked again, "Then according to Mother Xue's opinion, what should we do now?"

Mother Xue smiled and soothed her, "Don't worry, Princess. I don't mean to ask Madam Pei to stop taking supplements completely, but to take them in moderation and maintain a balanced diet. At the same time, you should also ask Madam Pei to move more and stay in good condition to cope with the difficulties of childbirth in the future. As long as you pay attention to these aspects, I believe Madam Pei will be able to give birth to the baby safely and smoothly."

"Thank you, Mother Xue, for the reminder." Pei Zhiyan said with a smile.

I have never given birth, so naturally I cannot understand the pain of childbirth, let alone know that there is such a truth. It seems that Aunt Yun is really vicious.

He sent nourishing food to Cui Yue'e every day, seemingly caring about her health, but in fact he wanted to take this opportunity to kill her.

Aunt Yun's move was indeed cruel enough. Even if Cui Yue'e died of childbirth in the future, people would only think it was an accident and would not suspect Aunt Yun. The ingenuity and horror of this conspiracy lies in its perfection and cruelty, which makes people shudder.

This time when I went to Pei's house and saw Aunt Yun being submissive, I thought she had changed her personality. Haha, I didn't expect that she was trying to cover up a bigger conspiracy.

It seems that I have to go to Pei Mansion again.

On the second day, Pei Zhiyan went out again with a bunch of supplements. Before leaving the palace, she met Pei Zhixuan.

When Pei Zhixuan saw the supplement in Pei Zhiyan's hand, a hint of subtle sarcasm appeared on her face, and she said in a gloomy tone, "The prince is not in the capital, and my sister has been very busy these days, running out of the palace every day."

Pei Zhiyan's heart sank slightly when she heard this. She knew that Pei Zhixuan was mocking her for being restless and not staying well in the palace.

But she did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and replied calmly, "You may not know, but Madam Yue'e is pregnant. We will have a little brother soon. I am naturally very happy and I am thinking of sending some supplements to Madam Yue'e."

"Oh? Madam Yue'e is pregnant? Then we really have to congratulate Madam Yue'e." Pei Zhixuan pretended to be surprised, but there was a hint of subtle sarcasm in her tone, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Pei Zhixuan actually knew about this a long time ago, and also knew Aunt Yun’s plan. Well, once she was pregnant, the most important thing was whether she could give birth safely.

"If you have nothing to do today, you might as well go back home with me." Pei Zhiyan said meaningfully.

"That's not necessary. The prince is not in the capital, so my sister should just stay at home and behave herself." Pei Zhixuan curled her lips and turned to leave.

"Since my sister doesn't want to go with us, then forget it." Pei Zhiyan said lightly and turned to walk towards her carriage.

This time when she arrived at Pei Mansion, Pei Zhiyan went directly to Cui Yue'e's courtyard.

As soon as Cui Yue'e picked up a bowl of bird's nest, Pei Zhiyan walked in.

Seeing Pei Zhiyan coming in, Cui Yue'e quickly put down the bird's nest in her hand, stood up and saluted, "I didn't know that the princess was here, please forgive me."

"Madam Yue'e, there's no need to be so polite." Pei Zhiyan said.

As soon as she sat down, she said, "Madam Yue'e, you look better and better these days."

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess. Actually, it's because my appetite has improved recently and I feel more energetic." Cui Yue'e smiled and said, "The Yun family also sent a lot of appetizers. Each one is exquisite and delicious, leaving a lasting impression."

After hearing this, Pei Zhiyan walked to the table, picked up the bowl of bird's nest, and poured it into the flowerpot next to her.

Cui Yue'e looked at this scene and was a little surprised. She asked cautiously, "What does the princess mean?"

Pei Zhiyan had a serious expression and said seriously, "Madam Yue'e should eat less tonic in the future."

Then, Yinliu told Cui Yue'e what Mother Xue had said.

The more Cui Yue'e listened, the gloomier her face became, and she was extremely angry. She never expected that what Aunt Yun had been doing these days was actually a hidden evil intention, and that she wanted to kill her. She even thought that she was doing it for her own good.

"Thanks to the princess for coming to remind us today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Cui Yue'e said worriedly.

Pei Zhiyan looked at Cui Yue'e's expression and said calmly, "Madam Yue'e, don't worry too much. Just eat properly and exercise more in the next few days."

"But that Yun is so abominable! I must find her and ask her clearly today!" Cui Yue'e said angrily.

Pei Zhiyan pondered for a moment and said, "Madam Yue'e, I advise you not to act rashly. Aunt Yun is a cunning person. If you confront her, she may pretend that she doesn't know this, and you won't be able to do anything to her."

Cui Yue'e was a little hesitant when she heard these words. She knew Pei Zhiyan was right. But she was unwilling to let Yun Yi Niang go.

Pei Zhiyan saw Cui Yue'e's conflicting emotions and continued, "Madam Yue'e, you just need to stay calm and don't let your emotions control your actions. Continue to pretend to eat the supplements that Aunt Yun sends you every day, and don't alert the enemy."

Cui Yue'e nodded, "Yes, the princess is right."

"In addition, you need to ask Madam Cui to find an experienced mother to come and take good care of your diet and daily life, and don't let Aunt Yun take advantage of you again." Pei Zhiyan said.

"Thank you, Princess. We will do as you say." Cui Yue'e said softly.

"You are the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. If you can't even control a concubine, how can you gain a foothold in the mansion in the future?" Pei Zhiyan said lightly.

Cui Yue'e lowered her eyes with a look of shame. It was her own fault for underestimating the enemy. Before she married into the Pei Mansion, her mother had warned her to be careful of Aunt Yun, but she had not taken it seriously. Now it seemed that she really needed to be more cautious.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back home, Pei Zhiyan thought to herself, I hope Cui Yue'e can be smarter in the future. Whether she can defeat Aunt Yun depends on her luck.
