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

The cold wind was as sharp as a knife. In the depths of winter, the entire Yimei Garden seemed to be covered by a layer of frost. When I woke up early in the morning, the sky was dark and overcast, as if foreshadowing the coming of a snowstorm.

Pei Zhiyan opened the window, and the biting cold wind whistled in, bringing with it a biting chill that made her shiver. She quickly closed the window and returned to the warm room.

Yinliu and Yinping had already prepared hot tea and warm clothes. Yinliu handed a cup of steaming hot tea to Pei Zhiyan and said with concern, "Miss, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."

Pei Zhiyan took the teacup, feeling the warm tea aroma spreading in her mouth and dispelling the coldness from her body.

She put on the thick double-breasted jacket handed to her by Yin Liu, and her whole body instantly warmed up. Yin Ping stood aside, smiling at Pei Zhiyan, her eyes full of care and love.

"It's so cold today." Pei Zhiyan sighed.

"Yes, Miss." Yin Liu nodded in agreement, "I heard that the prince is going out to do some work today, so you should remind him to dress warmly."

Pei Zhiyan was slightly stunned, and then she understood what Yin Liu meant. She sighed softly and said, "I see, go prepare some warm clothes."

Yinliu responded and turned to leave.

Pei Zhiyan brought Yin Liu and walked slowly towards Xuanyuan Ping's study.

After entering the study, Pei Zhiyan bowed slightly and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Ping looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Pei Zhiyan up, and said softly, "Yan'er, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Pei Zhiyan said with a smile.

The two sat facing each other, Xuanyuan Ping poured Pei Zhiyan a cup of hot tea, "Yan'er, how come you have time to come here today?"

Pei Zhiyan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "It has been freezing cold recently. Seeing that Your Majesty has been working day and night, I am very worried. I specially prepared a cotton coat, hoping to protect Your Majesty from the cold."

Xuanyuan Ping felt warm in his heart, and reached out to hold Pei Zhiyan's hand, "Yan'er is always so considerate and caring. This king is so lucky."

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, gently pulled back her hand, lowered her head and said, "These are what I should do."

After a moment of silence, Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, my sister's condition is getting worse."

Xuanyuan Ping frowned. When she told him about the dream that day, he felt that she was a little weird. He didn't expect that she really had delusions.

"What does the imperial physician say?" Xuanyuan Ping asked calmly.

Pei Zhiyan shook her head slightly, with some worry in her eyes. "The imperial physician said that my sister's mental state is very unstable. Sometimes she is lucid, and sometimes she is confused. They can only prescribe some tranquilizers, hoping to temporarily stabilize her mood."

"Now she doesn't recognize anyone and just keeps talking about wanting to see the prince. I'm worried that if she sees the prince, she might lose control of her emotions and hurt him." Pei Zhiyan continued.

Xuanyuan Ping frowned slightly, recalling the scene when he went to Yuxiangxie to visit Pei Zhixuan the day before. After not seeing her for a few days, Pei Zhixuan looked pale and dull.

She pulled him, repeating over and over again, "Sister wants to harm us! She's here for revenge!"

He felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he was helpless. If he went again, he would just be listening to her talking about these things like crazy.

Pei Zhiyan saw Xuanyuan Ping frowning in thought, so she gently picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of hot tea. The aroma of tea was everywhere, and the warm breath filled the air.

She said softly, "Your Highness, the situation in the court is complicated right now, and I shouldn't have bothered you with these things. But if I don't handle this matter well, it will be bad for the reputation of the palace if it gets out."

Xuanyuan Ping nodded and gently put down the teacup in his hand. "This matter really needs to be handled properly. Yan'er, do you have any ideas?"

"I think..." Pei Zhiyan pursed her lips. She had already made up her mind and spoke slowly, "Perhaps we can send my sister to a farm in the suburbs to recuperate for a while, and then bring her back when her condition stabilizes."

Xuanyuan Ping frowned slightly, thought for a moment and nodded, "Just do as you wish."

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, then stood up and saluted, saying, "Then I will not disturb Your Majesty any more. I will take my leave."

After Pei Zhiyan finished speaking, she took Yin Liu out of the study.

Last night, strong winds raged all night long. The biting cold wind was like a wild beast, roaring in the silent night and blowing across the earth tirelessly.

When I woke up in the morning, there was a vast white world outside the window. Snowflakes were falling like silver powder sprinkled from the sky, covering the earth with a layer of white coat.

The wind today is extremely cold, as if it can penetrate through people's clothes and reach deep into their skin.

The floor heating in Yime Garden was lit early, and the whole house was filled with a warm smell, and it was warm everywhere.

Yinping asked someone to bring a large brazier and lit some charcoal, making the whole room warmer.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky outside the house and the wind was cold, but Pei Zhiyan's heart was as calm as water. She sat quietly by the brazier, warming herself by the fire and drinking tea.

Yin Liu came in shivering, with a few snowflakes hanging on her body, obviously she was frozen by the cold wind outside. She complained to Pei Zhiyan in a trembling voice: "Miss, it's so cold outside! The wind is blowing so hard that I can hardly stand."

Pei Zhiyan looked at Yin Liu's red cheeks and trembling hands, stood up, walked to Yin Liu, handed her the hot tea in her hand and said, "Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up first."

Yinliu gratefully took the hot tea and drank it in one gulp. Then, Yinping handed her a hand warmer, which she took and held in her arms. The warmth of the hand warmer came through her clothes, making Yinliu feel a little warm.

She couldn't help but sigh, "That's great, it's much warmer now!"

At this time, Yinping was tidying up the house while scolding Yinliu, "I told you not to go out, but you insisted on going out to see the snow. You are freezing now, right? Let's see if you dare to be so willful again in the future."

Yin Liu listened to Yin Ping's reproach and knew that she was in the wrong, so she had to bow her head and admit her mistake, "I was wrong, I won't be so willful next time."

Pei Zhiyan looked at Yin Liu's pitiful appearance and felt amused. She shook her head and said, "Okay, remember to wear more clothes before going out next time, and don't let yourself get frozen."

Yinliu and Yinping both nodded in agreement, the three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became warm.

Pei Zhiyan stood up and stood in front of the window. She had originally planned to go to Yuxiangxie to deal with Pei Zhixuan today, but looking at the heavy snow outside, she shook her head secretly and thought, forget it, let her stay for a few more days.
