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

At this time, Qingyao came out gracefully. She looked at Pei Zhixuan coldly and said, "Concubine, the prince said that he has a lot of things to do today and has no time to see you. Please go back."

"Hmph! I don't believe that the prince won't see me. It must be you who falsely conveyed the prince's intentions! The prince and I have a deep relationship. Even if the prince does it for Xiaobao's sake, he will not refuse to see me!" Pei Zhixuan snorted coldly and said.

Hearing this, Qingyao sneered and said, "Then you concubine should continue to kneel. I have to go prepare dinner for the prince, so I won't accompany you." After saying that, she turned around and walked into the yard.

Pei Zhixuan looked at the tightly closed door and bit her lip angrily. She knew that forcing her way in was not a solution, but she couldn't lose Xiaobao. Xiaobao was her only support in this palace.

So, she continued to kneel in front of the door, silently praying in her heart that Xuanyuan Ping would forgive her. Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened. Mother Xu looked distressed, but she could do nothing.

Xuanyuan Ping stood in front of the window of the study, looking at Pei Zhixuan kneeling outside the courtyard gate, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. In the past few days, he has repeatedly thought about it. After all, Pei Zhixuan is Xiaobao's biological mother. How could she harm her own flesh and blood?

She used those incense just to please herself, and perhaps she didn't know that they were harmful to the body.

He originally planned to give her a light punishment so that she would realize her mistake and learn her lesson.

However, she actually ran to Yimeyuan and made a big fuss last night. She acted so tactlessly. I wonder if it was really as Mrs. Xue said, that he was too indulgent to her.

At this moment, Pei Zhixuan outside suddenly tilted her body, exhausted, and fell down.

"Concubine! Concubine!" Mother Xu exclaimed and rushed over, helping Pei Zhixuan up.

Seeing her pale face and weak breath, Mother Xu felt so distressed that she almost cried.

Xuanyuan Ping walked out quickly, his face full of anxiety and worry. When he saw Pei Zhixuan unconscious, his heart tightened and he quickly ordered loudly, "Quick! Go get the palace doctor!"

Qingyao, who was following behind, was stunned and immediately asked the maid to call the palace doctor. She looked at Xuanyuan Ping's anxious look and felt a little dazed. It seemed that the prince really cared about Pei Zhixuan.

Xuanyuan Ping picked up Pei Zhixuan and strode into the house. He was very anxious. No matter how many mistakes she made, he couldn't lose her. He would try every means to save her. He carried her into the room, put her on the bed, then held her hand and stayed by the bed.

After a while, the court doctor came over. He carefully examined Pei Zhixuan and said, "Your Highness, the concubine is just exhausted. There is nothing wrong with her body. She just needs to rest for a while and she will recover."

Hearing this news, Xuanyuan Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell. He looked at Pei Zhixuan who was still sleeping, his eyes full of heartache.

He knew that no matter what mistakes she had made, he could not give up his feelings for her. He would always stay by her side and take care of her until she fully recovered.

After about an incense stick of time, Pei Zhixuan slowly opened her eyes. She looked up at Xuanyuan Ping with a hint of doubt and confusion in her eyes.

"Your Highness..." She called softly, with a hint of fatigue and weakness in her voice.

"You finally woke up." Xuanyuan Ping gently lifted her up and let her lean on his arms. "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Pei Zhixuan gently shook her head, her voice weak and powerless, "Xuan'er is fine."

Xuanyuan Ping's frown relaxed slightly, "I'm glad you're okay."

Pei Zhixuan closed her eyes, tears rolling down her eyes, "My Lord, I know I was wrong. I did something stupid because I didn't want to lose you."

Xuanyuan Ping was silent, the pain and hatred in his heart intertwined, but turned into a loving look, "You should have a good rest first, and we can talk about other things later."

"But, Xuan'er, Xuan'er hasn't seen Xiaobao for three days." Pei Zhixuan said with tears in her eyes, "Prince, please let Xuan'er see Xiaobao. Xuan'er wants to know if Xiaobao is safe."

At this time, Mother Xue came in and said calmly, "My Lord, Concubine, the little grandson is doing well with the princess, so there is no need to worry. The princess takes good care of the little grandson, and he is very happy."

Pei Zhixuan couldn't accept this fact and said anxiously, "But I am Xiaobao's biological mother. Without me by his side, will he..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mother Xue, who said in a cold and hard tone, "The princess doesn't have any magic grass or anything like that, so just rest assured and recuperate."

A trace of resentment flashed in Pei Zhixuan's eyes. She looked at Xuanyuan Ping beside her, but found that he was silent. A trace of helplessness and reluctance flashed in his eyes. Her heart sank, and she felt powerless and desperate.

This old woman is just a servant, but she is more nosy than a real mother-in-law all day long!

Mother Xue saw Xuanyuan Ping's reluctance and said softly, "Your Highness, the concubine needs to rest. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it when the concubine is feeling better."

Xuanyuan Ping nodded slightly, turned and left the room.

"Your Highness, please stay." Mother Xue called out from behind Xuanyuan Ping.

Xuanyuan Ping slowly stopped, looked back at Mother Xue, and asked gently, "Mother Xue, what do you want?"

Mother Xue looked around and made sure that no one was around. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, there is something I don't understand and I would like to ask you."

Xuanyuan Ping frowned slightly, looked at Mother Xue and said, "Mother Xue, please feel free to speak."

Mother Xue paused for a moment, as if she was organizing her words, and then she slowly spoke, "Your Highness, you know that the concubine is narrow-minded and has done so many wrong things, why do you forgive her again and again?"

Xuanyuan Ping was silent for a moment, then he said, "Mother Xue, do you still remember the little girl I told you about once when I was a child? The little girl who appeared in my life like a ray of light?"

"She was only five or six years old at that time, but she was not afraid of those tall and strong palace maids and eunuchs in the palace. Since she saved me that time, my life in the palace has become a little easier."

Mother Xue was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Of course she remembered that time Xuanyuan Ping was bullied by the people in the palace again, but he came back very happy, saying that a little girl saved him.

"That little girl is Xuan'er." Xuanyuan said calmly.

Mother Xue looked at Xuanyuan Ping in shock. She didn't expect that the little girl was Pei Zhixuan. No wonder he had such deep feelings for her.
