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

After drinking the medicine, Pei Zhiyan showed a trace of fatigue on her face.

Xuanyuan Ping saw this and felt distressed. He gently held Pei Zhiyan's hand and said softly, "Yan'er, you have worked hard. I will always be by your side, taking care of you and caring about you until you fully recover."

"Your Highness, I'm a little tired and would like to rest first." Pei Zhiyan said softly, with a hint of apology in her voice.

Xuanyuan Ping immediately stood up and asked with concern, "Yan'er, are you really okay? Do you want me to send the imperial physician to take another look?"

Pei Zhiyan shook her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am just a little tired. I will be fine after a rest. The imperial physician has seen me and I have taken the medicine. Don't worry."

Xuanyuan Ping looked at Pei Zhiyan's tired expression, and felt distressed. He gently held Pei Zhiyan's hand and said softly, "Yan'er, then you should go and rest first."

Yin Liu also stepped forward at the right time and said softly, "Princess, I will help you to rest."

Pei Zhiyan held Yinliu's hand and walked into the inner room, and Xuanyuan Ping followed in. "Yan'er, have a good rest, I will stay here with you." Xuanyuan Ping watched Pei Zhiyan lie down and gently covered her with a blanket.

Pei Zhiyan shook her head gently and said softly, "My Lord, I appreciate your concern. But you are the backbone of the palace, and your health is more important. Go back and rest early, I will take good care of myself."

Xuanyuan Ping looked at Pei Zhiyan's firm and gentle eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Pei Zhiyan was thinking about him and caring about his health.

He held Pei Zhiyan's hand gratefully and said softly, "Yan'er, you must have a good rest. If you need anything, send someone to call me at any time."

Pei Zhiyan nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of myself."

Xuanyuan Ping then left the inner room with peace of mind. He stood at the door and looked back at Pei Zhiyan's peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with tenderness and concern.

After he left Yime Garden, Pei Zhiyan, who was lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief. It was very hard to act in this scene today, and she didn't know how much Xuanyuan Ping could believe her.

Pei Zhiyan closed her eyes and began to think quietly about her next plan. She knew she needed to be more cautious and not make any mistakes that would allow Xuanyuan Ping to see any flaws.

After returning to the study, Xuanyuan Ping felt a wave of fatigue. Today, he was indeed testing Pei Zhiyan, hoping to find some clues, but the result disappointed him greatly. Pei Zhiyan's reaction was too natural, and there was no flaw in her words.

Although Pei Zhiyan's performance was impeccable, Xuanyuan Ping's doubts did not dissipate, because Pei Zhiyan's words were convincing and she did not seem to be lying.

He sat at his desk and pondered for a while, then began to deal with the pile of government affairs.

As the night deepened, the palace became quiet. However, in this quietness, Pei Zhiyan and Xuanyuan Ping each had their own thoughts.

Early the next morning, sunlight poured into the room from the window, illuminating Pei Zhiyan's quiet boudoir. Yinliu walked in quietly, carrying a basin of steaming hot water.

"Miss, the prince has been going to Yuxiangxie quite frequently these days." Yin Liu carefully handed the towel to Pei Zhiyan while observing Pei Zhiyan's reaction.

Pei Zhiyan took the towel, was slightly stunned, and then gently wiped her face with the towel.

She looked up at Yin Liu and asked, "Did the prince show any unusual behavior or performance when he went to Yuxiangxie?"

Yin Liu shook her head and replied, "I didn't find anything unusual. The prince just frequently went to Yuxiangxie, stayed for a while each time, and then left. Other than that, there was nothing special."

Pei Zhiyan remembered that Xuanyuan Ping suddenly came to Yime Garden last night and said he would have dinner with her, but his words were full of temptations. All this must be related to Pei Zhixuan.

Pei Zhixuan said she had a dream. Could it be that she was also reborn?

Pei Zhiyan decided to go to Yuxiangxie in person. She had to find out the truth and find out how much Pei Zhixuan knew and what her purpose was. She stood up, put on her cloak, and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Yin Liu immediately followed and said, "Miss, we haven't had breakfast yet, where are you going?"

"Go to Yuxiangxie." Pei Zhiyan's voice was firm and decisive.

Yin Liu didn't ask any more questions, but followed Pei Zhiyan silently. The two walked through the corridor and came to Yuxiangxie. Pei Zhiyan stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open and entered.

Pei Zhixuan was sitting in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, as if waiting for her arrival. Seeing Pei Zhiyan coming in, she was not surprised, but just smiled faintly, "Sister is here."

Pei Zhiyan walked up to her and asked directly, "What on earth was that dream about?"

Pei Zhixuan looked at her, a hint of deep meaning flashed in her eyes. She smiled gently, and did not directly answer Pei Zhiyan's question, but asked, "Sister is well-informed, have you heard anything?"

Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly and said patiently, "I just want to know what the dream you mentioned means."

"That dream was a memory I brought with me from my past life."

"Previous life?" Pei Zhiyan frowned slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Pei Zhixuan smiled slightly, "Sister may not believe it, but that dream is indeed a memory of my past life. I saw the prince ascend to the throne of the emperor, I saw you become the master of the harem, and I also saw my own final ending."

Pei Zhiyan looked at her, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart. She didn't know whether what Pei Zhixuan said was true or false, but she could feel that this woman knew much more than she thought.

"Sister is also from the previous life, right?" Pei Zhixuan asked lightly.

Pei Zhiyan was startled, her guess was confirmed. She looked at Pei Zhixuan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, she must have said something in front of Xuanyuan Ping, which made Xuanyuan Ping doubt her. It seems that she is too soft-hearted.

Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. She knew that she couldn't reveal any flaws at this time, otherwise all her plans would go to waste.

She looked at Pei Zhixuan and said calmly, "I don't know what you are talking about. I am just an ordinary person. I don't have any past or present life."

Pei Zhixuan looked at Pei Zhiyan's reaction, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. She seemed to have anticipated Pei Zhiyan's reaction and was not surprised.

"Sister, you don't need to hide anything from me. I know much more than you think. Our destinies are closely linked, whether you are willing to admit it or not."

Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She knew that now was not the time to confront Pei Zhixuan. She needed more time to think about how to deal with this situation.

"Sister, do you really think you can escape? I owed you in my previous life, and you came to take revenge in this life. However, our final outcome has not yet been determined, and it is not certain who will win or lose." Pei Zhixuan said with a sneer.

"Xuan'er, it seems that you have stayed here for too long and have developed delusions. If you have any dissatisfaction or resentment, you can tell me directly, but please don't involve me in your fantasy." Pei Zhiyan said, turned around and left the room.
