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

The moon was rising high in the sky. In the quiet Prince Jing's Mansion, the Plum Garden was completely silent. Only the breeze blew through the branches, bringing bursts of plum blossom fragrance.

Xuanyuan Che came to Yime Garden as promised. Of course, this agreement was made unilaterally by him.

He quietly walked to Pei Zhiyan's window and knocked lightly on the window frame.

Pei Zhiyan knew that he was coming tonight, so she didn't sleep and lay on the bed with her clothes on. When she heard the noise, she got up and opened the window.

The window opened slightly, and Pei Zhiyan's figure appeared in the moonlight. Xuanyuan Che jumped in lightly, with joy in his eyes.

With the moonlight outside the window, he walked to the table with ease, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured two cups of tea skillfully, one in front of himself and the other gently pushed to her across from him.

This guy really doesn't consider himself an outsider now. This is his own room, but he seems like a guest. Pei Zhiyan laughed secretly in her heart.

"You come to visit me late at night just for this cup of tea?" She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"The aroma of tea is overflowing. He is indeed a person with good taste." He picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully. "This tea is sweet at first and has a long aftertaste. I guess the owner is also a person with a story."

Pei Zhiyan was speechless.

"I have something unclear today and I want to ask you." Xuanyuan Che put down the teacup and looked at Pei Zhiyan steadily.

Pei Zhiyan motioned for him to continue.

He said slowly, "I heard that you adopted Xuanyuan Ming under your name. I want to ask you, since you no longer have any feelings for your third brother, why do you still want to stay in Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Pei Zhiyan looked at Xuanyuan Che indifferently, but her heart was full of waves.

Xuanyuan Che saw Pei Zhiyan remained silent, and felt increasingly uneasy. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you still have illusions about the Third Brother?"

"I have no feelings for him," she said slowly, "but some things are not so easy to explain."

"Since you don't like him, just leave. Why bother so much?" Xuanyuan Che was puzzled.

Pei Zhiyan looked at him helplessly. How could she tell him what she was thinking? After all, he was also a member of the Xuanyuan family. If he knew her true thoughts, she didn't know what he would think.

And what she really wants to do, only she knows it now.

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly and said, "You are a prince, you are of noble status, you have the confidence to do whatever you want."

Xuanyuan Ping just smiled faintly, "So what if you are a prince? I just want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Pei Zhiyan looked up at him, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes. However, she knew that she couldn't fall into this relationship easily.

"Do you know that I am willing to give up everything for you? If you are willing, we will leave the capital and find a place without disputes and constraints and live an ordinary life." Xuanyuan Che looked at her, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his deep eyes.

Pei Zhiyan bit her lower lip, hardened her heart, and said those decisive words, "I don't want to!"

Xuanyuan Che's eyes dimmed instantly, and a trace of pain flashed in his deep eyes. He was silent for a moment, and whispered, "Why?"

"I am the eldest daughter of the Pei family. Although my status is not as high as your royal relatives, I was born in a wealthy family and grew up in a place where powerful people gather. I have a noble status, wealth and glory. How can I give up my status and glory easily?" Pei Zhiyan said coldly.

There was a flash of disappointment in Xuanyuan Che's eyes. He originally thought that Pei Zhiyan was afraid of criticism from the world, but he didn't expect that she couldn't let go of her own status and glory.

He smiled bitterly, "I thought we could put everything aside and live the life we ​​want."

Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and said lightly, "That's not the life I want. I haven't done anything wrong. Why should I give up all this?"

Xuanyuan Che looked at her, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "If you want wealth and glory, I can also grant you the position of princess!"

Pei Zhiyan smiled gently, a little bitterly, "I will fight for what I want."

Xuanyuan Che was stunned. He had never seen Pei Zhiyan like this before. He suddenly realized that maybe he never understood her. What he saw was just the appearance, and the real Pei Zhiyan was hidden.

"If you have nothing to do, please go back." Pei Zhiyan saw that he was silent and said softly. Her tone was light, but her brows could not hide the indifference.

Xuanyuan Che was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at her again. Her eyes were cold, as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between her and him.

He turned and left, but couldn't help looking back at Pei Zhiyan. She looked quietly in the direction he left, but there was a complicated look in her eyes.

After Xuanyuan Che left, Pei Zhiyan tossed and turned in bed, Xuanyuan Che's figure lingering in her mind. She felt mixed emotions, but she couldn't sort out her thoughts.

In this life, she was reborn for revenge, and she didn't want to involve him.

Good news came from the palace that Zhao Wanru gave birth to a boy.

After receiving the news, Pei Zhiyan sneered, "Ha, I've finally waited for this day."

She walked slowly to Xuanyuan Ping's study.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has given birth to a baby boy, and the whole world is celebrating." Pei Zhiyan said lightly with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Xuanyuan Ping had no expression on his face, with a cold look between his brows. "This is not good news for us."

"I don't think so." Pei Zhiyan approached him and whispered, "Your Majesty, this child may be the prince's death warrant."

Xuanyuan Ping's face changed drastically, and he looked at her in surprise, "What does Yan'er mean?"

Pei Zhiyan whispered, and Xuanyuanxia's expression became more and more solemn as he listened, "Is this true?"

"I have been keeping an eye on the Eastern Palace for a long time, and the evidence is solid." Pei Zhiyan whispered, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Ping smiled slightly, secretly delighted in his heart. If the evidence is conclusive, the prince may never be able to turn things around this time. A cunning arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"I will go to the palace and tell my father right now," he said, with a barely perceptible chill in his voice.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty. Don't act rashly." Pei Zhiyan said softly, "This matter still needs to be carefully considered. We need to plan it carefully."

"Oh? What do you think Yan'er?" Xuanyuan Ping asked, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Pei Zhiyan bit her lip and whispered, "Your Majesty, just wait for the right time, I will make the arrangements."

When Xuanyuan Ping heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help but look at Pei Zhiyan with new eyes. She was not only beautiful, but also had a crystal clear heart.

Indeed, she is his salvation. She saved him from danger when he was young, and now she gives him advice. It can be said that with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
