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

"Yan'er was reckless and ignorant in the past. Grandfather, please teach her more in the future." Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and said calmly.

General Lin's eyes flashed with an indescribable emotion. He sighed deeply and said with emotion, "Yan'er, you have really grown up now."

Pei Zhiyan looked at General Lin's old face, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She then said, "Grandfather, Yan'er has something else to ask of you."

"You say it."

"Yan'er would like to ask grandfather to assign some skilled people to Yan'er." Pei Zhiyan said in a firm tone. There will be a fierce battle with Xuanyuan Ping in the future, and she needs some trustworthy subordinates.

General Lin pondered for a moment, looked at Pei Zhiyan deeply, and then nodded slowly, "Okay, I will arrange a few outstanding people from the Lin Family Army for you. These people have grown up in the Lin Family Army and will be loyal to you."

Pei Zhiyan said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandpa."

General Lin waved his hand and said, "We are a family, no need to be so polite."

General Lin's eyes were full of love and trust for Pei Zhiyan. He knew that the child had grown up, and she must have her reasons for doing so.

In the eyes of General Lin, Pei Zhiyan has always been simple and kind-hearted, but he has never been at ease with Prince Jing. Prince Jing is a very cunning person and it is difficult to see into his heart.

The news of Prince Jing marrying a concubine was widely spread in the capital, but this was, after all, a matter in the backyard of Prince Jing's mansion. Not to mention him, even the emperor could not interfere.

Judging from today's situation, this granddaughter has also become wary of Prince Jing, which makes General Lin very relieved. All he can do is to protect his daughter, his only flesh and blood, and prevent her from getting hurt.

After lunch, Pei Zhiyan said goodbye to everyone in the General's Mansion and left. Pei Zhiyan's carriage slowly drove out of the gate of the General's Mansion, and the people on the street made way.

Suddenly, the horses in front of the carriage got frightened for some unknown reason and started struggling wildly, causing the carriage to shake.

Yinliu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and the coachman reacted immediately, pulling the reins hard to stop the carriage.

It turned out that a beggar suddenly rushed out of the road, which frightened the horses. The beggar looked a little strange, he was wearing a tattered gray robe, and there was some inexplicable light in his eyes.

Yin Liu had already jumped off the carriage and shouted, "What's wrong with you? You walked without paying attention and disturbed my young lady. Can you bear the consequences?"

"Yinliu!" Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting in the car, suddenly spoke and shook her head gently, signaling her not to be impulsive.

Yin Liu glared at the beggar angrily, then turned to look at Pei Zhiyan, "Miss, are you okay?"

Pei Zhiyan said softly, "I'm fine, I was just startled."

At this time, the driver had successfully controlled the horse, but the beggar was still blocking the carriage. He slowly raised his head and stared at Pei Zhiyan, muttering, "Miss...Miss..."

At this time, the crowd of onlookers slowly gathered together and discussed what had just happened.

"This beggar is so strange." someone whispered.

"Yeah, wandering around in the cold weather in a robe, I don't know whose it belongs to," said another person.

Yin Liu frowned and looked at the beggar, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The beggar did not answer her question, but just kept repeating the sentence, "Miss...Miss..." His voice revealed a deep despair and helplessness, and then he fainted.

Pei Zhiyan looked at the beggar and felt a little sorry for him. She said softly, "Take him back to the mansion."

Yin Liu and the driver looked at Pei Zhiyan in surprise. Yin Liu asked, "Miss, are you really going to take him back? What are you going to do if you take him back?"

Pei Zhiyan nodded. "Well, I think he's a bit pitiful, and he doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. Let's take him back and have him checked out first."

Yin Liu had no choice but to arrange for a few servants to come over, help the beggar up, and carry him towards Prince Jing's mansion.

Pei Zhiyan did not return to the palace until the evening. She asked Yin Liu to take the beggar to the palace and settle him down, and asked someone to invite a doctor to treat him.

After everything was arranged, she returned to Yime Garden tiredly.

Just after returning to Yimei Garden and not sitting down, Xuanyuan Ping came over. Listening to the maid's message, Pei Zhiyan irritably took a sip of tea and sneered in her heart. He was quite well-informed. It seemed that the people in this mansion should be replaced.

I was quite tired today and was in no mood to entertain him at the moment. He came here at this time, he must have known that I went to the General's Mansion today, and he came for the list.

Pei Zhiyan looked up and saw Xuanyuan Ping walking slowly towards her with his usual hypocritical smile on his face, which made Pei Zhiyan sneer in her heart. If someone is too attentive to her for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief!

"Greetings, Your Highness." Pei Zhiyan said lightly, with a hint of indifference and alienation in her voice.

Seeing Pei Zhiyan's depressed look, Xuanyuan Ping was a little surprised. He hadn't been to Yimei Garden for a long time. Shouldn't she be happy to see him? Usually, when she heard him coming in, she would be busy waiting for him. Could it be that she was not in the mood because things were not going well at the General's Mansion today?

"I heard that you went to the General's Mansion today. Is everything okay?" Xuanyuan Ping said with concern.

As expected, he went straight to the point. Pei Zhiyan took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. However, the feeling of nausea followed her like a shadow, making her feel an indescribable distress.

"Not bad." Pei Zhiyan still replied indifferently.

For Xuanyuan Ping, this was like a conversation gone bad. He had condescended to come to Yimei Garden, but her attitude was so cold. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He should not have come here earlier.

But thinking about what I mentioned to her a few days ago, she went to the General's Mansion today most likely for that matter, so I had to be patient and deal with her.

"Princess, has General Lin given that thing to you?" Xuanyuan Ping asked softly.

Pei Zhiyan lowered her eyes silently, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered, "Grandfather said that this matter is of great importance and needs to be considered carefully, and it will take time to compile the list."

Xuanyuan Ping frowned slightly, took a deep breath and said, "Yan'er, I know that General Lin has concerns in his heart, but you have to believe me. I will not let you get hurt."

Believe in you? In the previous life, it was because of trusting you that the whole family of the General's Mansion was executed!

Pei Zhiyan's heart was already in turmoil, but she knew she couldn't show it now.
