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

"How is Sixth Brother's injury?" Pei Zhiyan asked with concern, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Che looked at Pei Zhiyan's worried eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Pei Zhiyan really cared about him, which made him feel extremely happy.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury." Xuanyuan Che raised the corners of his mouth and replied gently.

"That's good." Pei Zhiyan nodded and said, "You must take care of your health."

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Lin Xiaoyu said, taking out the evidence from his arms, "This is the evidence I brought back from Anbei City about Wang Dunfa's crime."

"Great! With this evidence, he won't be able to turn things around." Pei Zhiyan said, "Second cousin, please take this evidence back to the general's mansion as soon as possible."

"Well, I'll go arrange it right away, you guys chat first."

Lin Xiaoyu gave Xuanyuan Che a mischievous smile, then slipped away and disappeared from their sight in an instant.

As Xuanyuan Che's good brother, how could he not know Xuanyuan Che's thoughts. Xuanyuan Che always intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Sister Yan's affairs, and when he heard about something related to her, he would pay close attention.

This time, Xuanyuan Che didn't want Pei Zhiyan to come. It was Lin Xiaoyu who took the initiative to ask Pei Zhiyan to come.

Xuanyuan Che has done so many things for Sister Yan behind the scenes, it's time to let Sister Yan know.

Although Sister Yan has married Prince Jing, Lin Xiaoyu knows that Sister Yan and Prince Jing are only in harmony in appearance but not in heart.

It's really fate that would have made it so great if Sister Yan had married the Sixth Prince.

After Lin Xiaoyu left, the atmosphere became a little awkward. The two sat opposite each other, speechless for a while.

Pei Zhiyan lowered her head, her heart in a mess. She didn't know how to face the person in front of her, nor did she know how to express her feelings.

The two of them sat there, and the silence filled the air, making people feel depressed and uneasy.

"Don't worry about it." Xuanyuan Che finally broke the silence, his voice low and gentle, "I said, I can do everything for you."

Pei Zhiyan raised her head and met Xuanyuan Che's gaze. She couldn't help but feel a little disturbed. But soon, her reasoning made her sober up. "Sixth brother, don't say such things in the future. It's easy to cause misunderstandings."

"Misunderstanding? No one would misunderstand." Xuanyuan Che looked at her deeply and then said, "I know you won't accept me for a while, but I am willing to wait until the day you are willing to accept me."

From Lin Xiaoyu, he had learned that Pei Zhiyan no longer loved Xuanyuan Ping, and she was just playing a trick with Xuanyuan Ping. Although he didn't know why Pei Zhiyan did this, he was very excited when he thought that she no longer loved Xuanyuan Ping.

He glanced at Pei Zhiyan beside him. She was wearing a light and elegant dress with her hair gently fluttering, like a fairy from heaven. Today, he wanted to express his true feelings to Pei Zhiyan openly.

Pei Zhiyan raised her head, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She looked at Xuanyuan Che and found that his eyes were unusually serious, and her heart tightened.

"Do you really know what you are saying? Don't you know that I am your sister-in-law?" Pei Zhiyan sighed softly and said helplessly.

"Imperial sister-in-law? As long as you are willing, I will go to the palace and beg my father to let you divorce that guy Xuanyuan Ping!" There was a hint of domineering in Xuanyuan Che's tone.

Pei Zhiyan was shocked by Xuanyuan Che's words. She looked at him with disbelief in her eyes. She had never thought that Xuanyuan Che would do this for her.

"Are you...are you crazy?" Pei Zhiyan's voice trembled slightly.

Xuanyuan Che looked at Pei Zhiyan, his eyes full of determination and smile, and said, "For you, I am willing."

Pei Zhiyan remained silent. She really didn't know what to say.

At this time, Xuanyuan Che spoke again, "Yan'er? From now on, I will call you Yan'er!"

"Yan'er, do you know? Even though so many people were bullying Xuanyuan Ping back then, I really envied him! At that time, I really wished I was him!"

"If the person you stepped forward to save was me, would you have fallen in love with me?"

If he had been brave enough to confess his love to her, perhaps they would have been together happily. Now, whether she, Pei Zhiyan, accepts him or not is her business, and she will not hesitate any more.

What does this have to do with anything? Pei Zhiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She thought of the story of the little girl that Xuanyuan Che told. In fact, she had long forgotten the childhood events. She was just passing by by chance that day. No matter who it was that day, she would have done the same thing.

I guess Xuanyuan Ping doesn’t remember what happened that day, but Xuanyuan Che remembers it so clearly. What kind of fate is this?

Her ill-fated relationship with Xuanyuan Ping actually started when she fell from the rockery in Changgong Mansion. At that time, she was really blinded by greed.

She and Xuanyuan Ping are still husband and wife. She may not care about the worldly view, but she cannot help but consider her family, especially her maternal grandparents and her mother.

If she and Xuanyuan Che were to have an unclear relationship now, it would definitely bring shame to her family and her mother. How would she face them? She didn't want her mother to be cursed after she was gone, saying that she had an unruly daughter.

"Sixth brother, that's enough! Stop talking nonsense!" Pei Zhiyan stopped Xuanyuan Che dissatisfiedly, frowning and showing displeasure in her eyes.

Pei Zhiyan said this and stood up to leave.

Xuanyuan Che reached out to grab Pei Zhiyan, but he pulled the wound on his chest. He felt a sharp pain and screamed, "Ah!"

Xuanyuan Che gasped, put his hand over the wound, his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Pei Zhiyan heard the voice, turned around, and saw Xuanyuan Che's painful expression. She felt sorry for him. After all, Xuanyuan Che was injured because of An Beicheng's incident. He seemed to be helping Lin Xiaoyu, but he was actually helping himself.

But she knew she had to leave. She already owed him a lot and could not drag him into the feud between her and Xuanyuan Ping.

If she had been more resolute and not left him any hope, perhaps Xuanyuan Che would have lost interest before long, and he would have met a woman who truly loved him and continued to live his life as an idle prince.

So she resolutely turned around and left, leaving Xuanyuan Che alone there, covering his wound in pain.

Xuanyuan Che covered his wound and stood there in a daze, his eyes following Pei Zhiyan's departing back, his heart full of mixed feelings, knowing that his words just now must have annoyed Pei Zhiyan. He sighed helplessly, realizing that he had really offended the beauty this time.
