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

Then, Xuanyuan Ping announced, "The Sixth Prince Xuanyuan Che intends to rebel, and he will be taken to prison immediately to await his fate!"

Xuanyuan Ping's words were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone in the hall. Everyone looked sideways, some were surprised, and some were secretly glad that they were on the right side.

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, they deftly handcuffed Xuanyuan Che's hands behind his back, and then carried him out of the hall.

Pei Zhiyan stood there, watching all this with cold eyes. Her heart was turbulent, but on the surface she remained calm and composed. She silently said to Xuanyuan Che in her heart, "Just bear with it for a while, and I will give you your freedom."

"Yan'er, this king, no, I, I finally ascended the throne." Xuanyuan Ping walked in front of Pei Zhiyan, his voice low and powerful, "Xuanyuan Che is too naive, he thinks he can do whatever he wants, but he doesn't know that the world is so big, he is just an ordinary man."

Pei Zhiyan raised her head and smiled, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Xuanyuan Ping did not expect Pei Zhiyan to look at all this so calmly and rationally, but he did not let his guard down. Instead, he looked at Pei Zhiyan deeply, then turned and left.

Next, he still has a lot to do.

Under the dim light of the prison, Xuanyuan Che frowned in pain, his head ached as if it was hit hard by a hammer. He had just woken up from a coma and had not had time to adapt to the cold and humid environment. The news that Xuanyuan Ping had ascended to the throne struck him like a thunderbolt.

He closed his eyes tightly, and the past with Pei Zhiyan reverberated in his mind. Those warm memories, those difficult times they had spent together, all became so ironic and painful.

He could never have imagined that Pei Zhiyan would choose to help Xuanyuan Ping at the most critical moment. She obviously hated Xuanyuan Ping to the core, so why would she make such a choice?

Xuanyuan Che tried hard to recall the scene at that time, trying to find out why Pei Zhiyan betrayed him. But he found that his understanding of her was so limited. He couldn't imagine that the woman he loved deeply would betray him at the critical moment.

Xuanyuan Che's heart was filled with doubts and confusion. He pounded the wall hard, trying to use the pain to dispel the confusion in his heart.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole country celebrated and granted amnesty.

Inside the palace, the lights were on and the atmosphere was peaceful. Pei Zhiyan walked into the imperial study with a cup of hot ginseng tea in her hand.

"Your Majesty!" Pei Zhiyan said softly.

Since Xuanyuan Ping ascended the throne, he has been busy dealing with government affairs every day and has hardly any time to rest.

"What's the matter, Queen?" Xuanyuan Ping put down the memorial in his hand and asked.

Pei Zhiyan walked to Xuanyuan Ping and handed him the ginseng tea. "It's getting late, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Xuanyuan Ping took the ginseng tea and took a sip, "Thank you for your concern, Queen."

At this time, Pei Zhiyan held her handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Your Majesty works so hard all day long. I am not strong enough to serve you. Please don't blame me."

Xuanyuan Ping gently held Pei Zhiyan's hand and said in a gentle voice, "Queen, you don't have to blame yourself. I know that your health has not been good, and I have arranged for the imperial physician to come and treat you. Just focus on recuperating and leave the rest to me."

Although Xuanyuan Ping was gentle and considerate to Pei Zhiyan on the surface, his heart was full of complicated emotions. From the moment he discovered that Pei Zhiyan had an affair with Xuanyuan Che, anger and disappointment were like a sharp sword, piercing deep into his heart.

Although it was later found out that the two had no substantial relationship, the pain was still difficult to heal.

Although Pei Zhiyan finally came to her senses and turned back, it doesn't mean that she didn't betray herself.

However, now is the critical moment for him to consolidate his throne, and he cannot let personal feelings ruin important things. He has just ascended the throne, and his foundation is not stable. With Pei Zhiyan around, the people in the General's Mansion will definitely stand on his side. It won't be too late to settle the score when he has established a firm foothold.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Pei Zhiyan wiped her eyes again and continued, "I came here today to discuss something with you."

"Please speak, Queen." Xuanyuan Ping replied.

Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and then slowly spoke, "I think that the emperor has been on the throne for a long time, but the harem has never been filled. In order to continue the royal bloodline, I think it's time to arrange a selection."

"The talent show does need to be put on the agenda." Xuanyuan Ping said in a deep voice, "But this matter needs to be carefully planned and cannot be done rashly."

Pei Zhiyan nodded in agreement. "I understand that the selection of concubines involves the continuation of the royal bloodline, so it must be treated with caution. I will personally handle this matter and ensure that women with both good character and excellent moral character are selected to enter the palace."

"Okay." Xuanyuan Ping said in a deep voice, "Then I'll have to trouble the Queen to take care of it."

"I have something else to discuss with you, about my sister." She paused for a moment, as if organizing her words. "She has been resting in the manor for some time, and I think her body has almost recovered. I am thinking about whether we can bring her back to the palace?"

Xuanyuan Ping was a little surprised. It was not that he had not thought about bringing Pei Zhixuan back to the palace. After all, she had made a contribution this time. If she had not mentioned things about her previous life, which made him suspicious of Pei Zhixuan, he probably would not have been wary of her.

However, he was afraid that Pei Zhiyan might have a grudge against Pei Zhixuan, so he did not mention the matter. Unexpectedly, Pei Zhiyan brought up the matter herself today.

He looked at Pei Zhiyan deeply, not knowing what she was planning. However, he was the emperor now, and even if she had any conspiracy, it would not escape his control.

Pei Zhiyan continued, "My sister is Xiaobao's biological mother. Xiaobao is now the crown prince and has a noble status. If his biological mother is still on the farm, it will inevitably cause people to talk about it, and it will also affect Xiaobao's reputation."

Xuanyuan Ping was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What the Queen said makes sense. I will consider bringing her back to the palace and giving her a suitable identity and status."

Pei Zhiyan smiled with satisfaction when she heard this. She leaned forward and bowed gracefully, "I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of my sister."

Xuanyuan Ping reached out his hand to help her up, looking at her deeply, "Queen, there is no need for courtesy between you and me as husband and wife. I know what you are thinking and understand your concerns. I will handle this matter properly and will not let anyone criticize Xiaobao's identity and reputation."

Pei Zhiyan raised her head and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will take my leave first. Your Majesty should also pay attention to your health and not overwork yourself."

Pei Zhiyan quietly left the imperial study, sneering in her heart. Only when Pei Zhixuan returned to the palace could they be truly "perfect"!
