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

When Xuanyuan Che and his party arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sky was already slightly bright. He immediately ordered a team of capable guards to quietly escort Princess Yongtai back to the capital first, and at the same time arranged for the best doctor to accompany her to ensure her safety.

Pei Zhiyan and her group quietly came to the White Horse Temple. Old Madam Lin was lying in the guest room of the White Horse Temple, with Liu and Chen serving her.

Pei Zhiyan pushed the door open and walked in.

When Liu and Chen saw her, they stepped forward and grabbed Pei Zhiyan's hand, and asked nervously, "Princess, you are finally here. I heard that you encountered bandits on the way. Are you injured?"

Pei Zhiyan shook her head slightly. She scanned the room vigilantly, making sure there was no one else around. Then she whispered, "We'll talk about this later. How is grandma now?"

Liu sighed and replied, "Mother just ate peanuts by mistake and had an allergic reaction. She is fine now."

"Accidentally ingested peanuts?" Pei Zhiyan frowned. She clearly remembered that her grandmother had a severe allergic reaction to peanuts, and everyone in the family was extremely cautious about this.

Chen continued, "Yes, I heard that it was a new monk who didn't know that my mother was allergic to peanuts, so when he prepared cakes, he served almond cakes containing peanuts, causing my mother to suffer this."

"Where is the little monk now?" Pei Zhiyan asked.

"Well, we were only thinking about our mother's illness and didn't care about him," Liu replied.

Pei Zhiyan gave Yin Liu a look, and Yin Liu quickly walked out of the room.

Not long after, Yin Liu came back and said, "Miss, the little monk ran away."

"Ran?"

"Yes, because Madam Lin was in a coma, he was afraid of being blamed, so he ran away overnight." Yin Liu replied.

Pei Zhiyan felt an inexplicable chill in her heart. All this seemed to be a coincidence, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed like a series of carefully designed schemes.

They calculated that if something happened to Madam Lin, they would rush to the White Horse Temple in a panic, and then they would set an ambush on the way and kidnap them.

That's why they instructed the young monk to add peanuts to my grandmother's diet.

Considering what happened when entering the mountain, although Princess Yongtai was vicious, her brain seemed not enough for such a sophisticated series of schemes. There must be a mastermind behind her.

Thinking of Princess Yongtai, Pei Zhiyan sneered in her heart, humph! Princess Yongtai really brought trouble upon herself this time and got herself into trouble.

"What's the matter?"

At this time, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen also realized that Mrs. Lin’s allergic reaction was not accidental.

Pei Zhiyan didn't want them to get involved too much, so as to avoid unnecessary worry, so she said, "My two aunts, I have something to ask of you today."

"Princess, just say it. There's no need to ask for it or not." Chen said frankly.

"My two aunts, I have something to trouble you with. I arrived at the White Horse Temple last night, but I got lost on the way and was delayed for some time."

Liu and Chen knew that things were not simple, but Pei Zhiyan was someone they trusted, so they just did what she said.

So they both nodded, "Everything is up to the princess."

Towards evening, Mrs. Lin finally woke up, and they packed up and went down the mountain together.

Xuanyuan Che was about to go into the mountains again to look for Pei Zhiyan, whose whereabouts were still unknown.

However, at this moment, a secret guard came hurriedly with a happy look on his face, "Sixth Prince, there is news from the foot of the mountain, it has been found! Princess Jing has been found!"

Xuanyuan Che was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Where is she? Is she okay?"

The guard replied, "Princess Jing and Madam Lin have left the White Horse Temple and come down the mountain together. They are safe and sound and are now on their way back to the capital."

After hearing the news, Xuanyuan Che's tense heart finally relaxed.

At this moment, in the carriage, Pei Zhiyan leaned against Madam Lin, her eyes full of concern and worry. She said softly, "Grandma, you must take good care of yourself and don't make me worry anymore."

Old Madam Lin looked at her, her eyes full of love and warmth. She gently patted Pei Zhiyan's hand and said, "Yan'er, don't worry, my old bones are still strong. But you, a girl, have to run around all night for my old bones. It's really hard for you."

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Grandma, you are my relative. For you, I am willing to do anything."

Pei Zhiyan returned to the capital unharmed, and the rumors that she was abducted by bandits were naturally refuted.

It was said that Madam Lin had a sudden illness. Pei Zhiyan was worried about her condition and rushed to the White Horse Temple overnight. She took a shortcut but accidentally got lost. This loss delayed precious time and also caused rumors in the capital that she was abducted by bandits.

Such rhetoric could only fool the common people in the capital, but the noble families naturally did not believe that things were so simple.

After returning to the capital, Xuanyuan Che first placed Princess Yongtai in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to the palace, saying only that Princess Yongtai was in a bad mood and asked her to relax in the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Xuanyuan Che stood quietly in front of the window, his eyes deep, and the room was filled with the aroma of medicine. Princess Yongtai lay on the bed with her eyes closed, but there was a hint of unwillingness and fear between her brows.

Princess Yongtai, who was once so noble and proud, is now like a flower destroyed by a storm, her mental state fluctuating. This blow is undoubtedly devastating to her.

Whenever Princess Yongtai woke up from her dream, her eyes were always filled with fear and hatred. She talked nonsense and kept talking about seeking revenge on Princess Jing.

Xuanyuan Che had no choice but to ask the imperial physician to prescribe some tranquilizers for her so that she could have a good rest.

Why did she appear in the mountains? What happened between her and Yan'er? Why did she hate her so much? Xuanyuan Che was confused, but he couldn't ask her clearly.

Perhaps, at the moment, only Yan'er knows what is going on. He has been back in Beijing for so long and has been busy with Yongtai's affairs and has not even gone to see her.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Che changed into night clothes and prepared to go to Yime Garden to take a look.
