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

Ever since the matter of deposing the crown prince came to an end, Pei Zhiyan has taken time out to study medicine with Song Qingfeng.

Pei Zhiyan has always been smart, and her understanding of medical skills is amazing. Under Song Qingfeng's careful guidance, her medical skills have improved day by day, and even Song Qingfeng couldn't help but praise her.

"I think you are born to study medicine." Song Qingfeng looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.

Pei Zhiyan smiled modestly, but her heart was filled with joy, "Master, you are too kind. I still have a lot to learn."

Song Qingfeng smiled and nodded, "As long as you study hard, you will definitely achieve something."

After that, he took out a few medical books from his arms and handed them to Pei Zhiyan.

"These medical books are the result of my life's hard work." Song Qingfeng said slowly, "You need to study them carefully to understand their essence."

Pei Zhiyan took the medical book, her eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, Master."

Song Qingfeng took out another porcelain bottle and handed it to Pei Zhiyan.

"This is..." Pei Zhiyan asked puzzledly.

"This is a medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons." Song Qingfeng explained, "There are all kinds of poisons in the world, and this medicine can cure all of them. I know that your future will not be smooth, and I hope this medicine can help you resolve the crisis."

Pei Zhiyan gently opened the porcelain bottle, and a fragrance came to her nose, as if it was the breath of grass and trees, or the fragrance of flowers.

Song Qingfeng smiled and turned around. "General Lin's leg disease is already a serious problem. I have stayed in the capital for too long. It is time to set off."

"Where is Master going?" Pei Zhiyan asked.

"The world is vast and boundless. I, the master, will go to find more medical secrets to benefit people all over the world." Song Qingfeng said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Master, please take care of yourself!" Pei Zhiyan said.

She knew that Song Qingfeng was a free-spirited person and would not stay in the capital. She could only wish him safety and take care on his journey.

Xuanyuan Ping was very happy when the crown prince was deposed. He had always coveted the throne, and now he finally had the chance. However, he didn't know that a new power struggle was about to begin.

In the court, memorials to establish the Eastern Palace and the Central Palace came one after another, but they were all rejected by the emperor. In the emperor's heart, the prince and the queen had been together for many years and their relationship was special.

Most importantly, he currently does not have a suitable candidate, especially for the position of Eastern Palace, and he does not want to hastily re-establish it.

However, Xuanyuan Ping was not worried about this problem. Now in the court, there was no prince who could compete with him. The position of crown prince was only a matter of time.

Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart when she saw him in such a state. He really overestimated himself.

Maybe it's because he was reborn, the course of events in this life is very different from the previous life. However, in this world, there are more ambitious people than just Xuanyuan Ping, and there are more than just Xuanyuan Ping who are the emperor's sons.

The emperor had a relationship with Xuanyuan Ping as a subject, but not as a father and son.

Although the prince was deposed, the emperor imprisoned him in the imperial mausoleum. On the surface, he was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life, but in fact he was protecting him. Although he was a disabled person, he was still under the emperor's nose, and the emperor could still protect him.

Even the Sixth Prince, no matter how stubborn he was, the Emperor never punished him severely. If the Emperor had not indulged him, would he have been able to act so arrogantly and recklessly in the capital?

Looking at Xuanyuan Ping again, even though he had made repeated contributions, the emperor only rewarded him in the court and never summoned him privately or praised him. Even Xiaobao was more important to the emperor than him.

Perhaps, in the emperor's mind, he was just a capable minister, and he didn't even remember that he was also his son.

In his previous life, if it weren’t for his grandfather’s strong support and the failure of other princes in their bid for the throne, how would he have had the chance to ascend to the throne?

Oh, in this life, I will naturally do my best to support him to take the position. However, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. The future is full of unknowns and variables.

Plum Garden

Pei Zhiyan and her wet nurse were sitting under an exquisite pavilion, carefully feeding the baby in her arms hot rice soup.

Xiaobao was only a few months old. His delicate face was filled with an innocent smile and he giggled from time to time, which made Pei Zhiyan smile gently as well.

Yin Liu came in with a note, "Princess, this is from the Princess's Mansion."

Pei Zhiyan took it, opened it and saw that it was an invitation to a banquet at the Princess's Mansion.

Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly. The Princess's Mansion has never liked crowds, and they don't often hold banquets to entertain guests. Why would they suddenly hold a banquet?

Pei Zhiyan pondered for a moment and made up her mind. No matter why they did that, she would just go and take a look.

The Princess's Mansion held a banquet, and the dignitaries of the capital naturally flocked to it. The Princess's Mansion was brightly lit, with many people around, and a mysterious atmosphere filled the air.

The eldest princess sat on the main seat, her gorgeous clothes shining even brighter under the lights. She had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes revealed an elusive depth.

At this time, a young man walked in. His eyes were bright and his posture was upright, like a breath of fresh air, bringing a touch of unusual atmosphere to this lively banquet.

The man sat opposite the princess, wearing a gorgeous dress that made him look elegant and noble. He was calm and composed, with a hint of pride in his eyes. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. His unrestrained and carefree temperament attracted everyone's attention.

At this time, someone recognized that this man was the second prince Xuanyuan Si.

The princess chuckled, her tone filled with a bit of doting and concern, and said, "Si'er, even though you can drink a lot, don't drink too much."

Xuanyuan Si smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, aunt."

Everyone was surprised by Xuanyuan Si's appearance. They whispered and talked about it. As everyone knows, the second prince has been weak and sick since childhood and rarely shows up. Today, he is so heroic.

The princess introduced everyone to Xuanyuan Si one by one. He always had a smile on his face and a deep light in his eyes. He talked with everyone, and his words and deeds revealed a noble temperament.

Xuanyuan Si sat at the main seat of the banquet with the eldest princess. He listened quietly to the conversation of everyone, occasionally interjecting a few words, which always resonated with people. His voice was gentle and magnetic, making people want to hear him say more.

The princess looked at Xuanyuan Si, her heart filled with pride and relief. She knew that this child had suffered too much since childhood, but he had never given up and had been working hard to learn and grow. Now, he has finally become an excellent prince.

Pei Zhiyan sat in a corner, holding a jade cup, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of the cup. She glanced at the brightly lit area on the eldest princess' side, and a hint of subtle doubt flashed in her eyes.

The Second Prince, a member of the royal family who had always lived a secluded life and rarely appeared in public, even rarely attended palace banquets on weekdays. However, today he attended this banquet for the first time.

In this sensitive situation, the dispute over the crown prince's dethronement has not yet subsided, but the second prince has made a high-profile appearance at the banquet of the princess's mansion. What is his intention? Is he also after the position of crown prince?
