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

As soon as Pei Zhiyan returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, Pei Zhixuan came to her in a hurry.

"Sister, I am wronged. Please save me." Pei Zhixuan's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the teacup, gently blew on the ripples on the tea, and said lightly, "Sister, you and I are both married women, so you should stay out of the Pei Mansion's affairs."

"But, that's my aunt! The mother who gave birth to me and raised me, how can I ignore her!" Pei Zhixuan's voice was tinged with tears.

Humph! You are now showing off your deep love for your mother in front of me, why don't you think about the suffering my mother went through?! Pei Zhiyan said with contempt in her heart.

Pei Zhiyan looked at Pei Zhixuan with a hint of indifference in her tone, "After all, Aunt Yun committed the crime of killing my brother. The people in Pei Mansion will definitely not let her go easily. We should not go looking for trouble."

"Besides, sister, you are getting heavier and heavier now, don't keep tossing and turning and get a miscarriage."

"You just don't want to help my aunt! Humph! That's right, you must be secretly laughing at what happened to me and my aunt!" Pei Zhixuan said angrily, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, "I will find a way myself, I don't need your sympathy and pity!"

Pei Zhixuan said this, stood up and walked away.

Looking at her receding figure, Pei Zhiyan sneered and continued to drink her tea.

The next morning, Pei Zhixuan got up early. She was thinking about Aunt Yun and couldn't wait to go to Pei Mansion.

As soon as she arrived at the Pei Mansion, Pei Zhixuan heard that in order to appease Cui Yue'e's emotions, Prime Minister Pei and Old Madam Pei had already said that Aunt Yun was locked up in the woodshed and everything would be handled by Cui Yue'e.

Cui Yue'e suffered such a great blow that she would definitely have to kill Aunt Yun to vent her anger, but the child had just passed away, and Cui Yue'e wanted to accumulate some blessings for the child, so she planned to deal with her a few days later.

Pei Zhixuan was so anxious that she could no longer care about anything else. She immediately went to the woodshed to see how Aunt Yun was doing.

Pei Zhixuan pushed open the door of the woodshed, and a damp smell hit her face. This woodshed was always dark and damp, full of dust and decay.

However, what shocked Pei Zhixuan even more was the appearance of Aunt Yun. After just one night, Aunt Yun no longer had the brilliance she once had. Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were dull, and she looked haggard. Her clothes were disheveled, her body was trembling, and she curled up in a corner.

Pei Zhixuan was distressed and hurried forward to help Aunt Yun up. Her hands were shaking and her eyes were filled with tears. "Aunt, how did you become like this?"

Aunt Yun looked up at Pei Zhixuan, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, "Xuan'er, you're here. Aunt Yun is really wronged. You must find a way to save Aunt Yun."

Pei Zhixuan held Aunt Yun's hand tightly and said firmly, "Aunt, don't worry, I will go and ask father and grandmother to release you."

The moment Pei Zhixuan stepped into the hall, she felt a chilly atmosphere. Prime Minister Pei sat on the main seat with a blank expression, his eyes cold and silent.

"Daddy, my aunt is really wronged, please let me go." Pei Zhixuan's eyes were red and tears were rolling down her cheeks. Her voice was filled with endless earnestness as she tightly pulled at Prime Minister Pei's sleeves.

Seeing his daughter crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Prime Minister Pei's heart softened. This daughter had been well-behaved and sensible since she was young, smart and clever, and was deeply loved by him. But when he thought of the innocent baby boy who died, his heart became as cold as ice. That child died as soon as he was born. It turned out to be the murder of Aunt Yun. He could not tolerate such a vicious woman harming the entire Pei Mansion!

"Don't beg for her anymore!" Prime Minister Pei's voice was filled with endless cruelty, "This time, no one can save her!"

"Daddy, you and my aunt have been together for more than ten years. Are you just going to watch her die?" Pei Zhixuan asked tearfully.

More than ten years of love? I have been very kind to her over the past ten years, and this is how she repays me? Prime Minister Pei thought bitterly.

"Stop talking. Madam has the final say on this matter." Prime Minister Pei's voice was as cold as iron. After he finished speaking, he turned away, leaving a desolate scene behind.

Pei Zhixuan fell to the ground, her heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. Mother Xu hurried forward to help her up and said distressedly, "Second Miss, you must take care of yourself. If there is any accident again, you really can't save your aunt."

Tears welled up in Pei Zhixuan's eyes. She knew that if even her father was unwilling to save her aunt, then this time, her aunt really would be doomed. Could she just watch her aunt suffer?

At this time, a little maid ran over in a panic, "Concubine, Concubine, it's bad, Madam wants to sell Concubine Yun out!"

Pei Zhixuan didn't have time to wipe her tears and ran out in a hurry. If her aunt was really sold out, she would be living a life worse than death.

When they arrived at Cui Yue'e's courtyard, they saw that Yun Yi Niang was pinned to the ground by several servants, and her hands and feet were being tied up with ropes. Yun Yi Niang's face was pale, and her eyes showed helplessness and despair.

Pei Zhixuan felt heartbroken when she saw this scene. She shouted, "Stop! What are you doing?"

"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, save me!" Aunt Yun saw Pei Zhixuan coming and hurriedly called for help.

Pei Zhixuan rushed forward angrily and pushed aside the maids, "With this concubine here, I'll see who dares to touch my aunt."

When the old women saw Pei Zhixuan coming, they let go of her hands for fear of hurting her. Aunt Yun took the opportunity to hide behind Pei Zhixuan.

Cui Yue'e turned around upon hearing the voice and looked at Pei Zhixuan coldly, her tone revealing a fierceness, "This bitch harmed my Pei family's legitimate son, and I was about to send her out of the family."

Pei Zhixuan angrily retorted, "You are talking nonsense! Auntie is definitely not that kind of person!"

Cui Yue'e sneered, "She is just a concubine of the Pei Mansion. This lady has the right to do anything with her. Concubine Xuan, please stay out of the internal affairs of the Pei Mansion!"

Pei Zhixuan bit her lower lip tightly. She knew that Cui Yue'e's words were correct, but she could not bear to see her aunt suffer injustice.

"Even if I die here today, I will never let you sell out my aunt!" Pei Zhixuan stepped forward, stood in front of her aunt, and said in a firm tone.

At this moment, Pei Zhixuan suddenly felt a dull pain in her abdomen. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes and her body fell backwards involuntarily. Seeing this, the people around her immediately surrounded her in a panic.

Cui Yue'e saw Pei Zhixuan fainted, and without caring about anything else, she quickly ordered, "Quick, go get the palace doctor."
