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

Pei Zhiyan didn't expect such an idea to come up. Not only did she send Xuanyuan Zheng out of the capital, but she also sent Xuanyuan Ping out. Now she can have some peace and quiet.

On the day Xuanyuan Ping set out, Pei Zhiyan and Pei Zhixuan both sent him to the gate of the mansion.

"Prince, you must take care of yourself on this long journey." Pei Zhixuan's eyes were filled with tears. She gently pulled Xuanyuan Ping's sleeve and said with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, Xuan'er," Xuanyuan Ping interrupted her with a smile, "I know you are worried about me, but this trip is necessary. I have an important mission to complete."

Pei Zhixuan bit her lip gently, tears glistening in her eyes. She nodded, her voice choking, "Then...you must be careful and come back early. I will always wait for you to come back. If anything happens to you, I will not be able to live anymore."

Xuanyuan Ping was also filled with reluctance, he patted the back of her hand gently, and said softly, "Okay, I will be careful and will come back as soon as possible. You must take good care of yourself at home and wait for me to come back."

At this time, Mother Xue frowned, feeling a little contemptuous. She felt that Concubine Xuan was too hypocritical. It was really unlucky for her to say such unlucky words before the prince left.

Mother Xue then stepped forward and reminded him seriously, "Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time to leave."

Xuanyuan Ping nodded, looked at Pei Zhixuan deeply, and was about to turn around and leave, but Pei Zhixuan called him again, "Prince, please wait a moment."

Xuanyuan Ping stopped walking. Pei Zhiyan took a purse from Yin Liu and handed it to Xuanyuan Ping. "Your Highness, the flood in the south is really serious this time. You are leading the disaster relief team to the disaster area. You have a great responsibility. Here is some of my own money. You can donate it to the disaster area. It can be regarded as our Jingwang Mansion doing our part."

Xuanyuan Ping looked at Pei Zhiyan in surprise, then took the purse, opened it and saw ten thousand taels of silver neatly placed inside.

"Princess, this..." Xuanyuan Ping hesitated to speak.

"Stop talking, Your Majesty." Pei Zhiyan shook her head gently. "The people in the disaster area need our help right now. I believe Your Majesty will be able to win the battle and save the people from the dire situation."

"The princess is right. The prince will surely be victorious and save the people from dire straits. We will wait in the mansion for his triumphant return!" Mother Xue also said excitedly.

"The princess is truly a virtuous wife to me. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?" Xuanyuan Ping said with a bit of hypocrisy, "I will do my best to complete this mission and live up to the princess's expectations."

Pei Zhiyan looked at Pei Zhixuan calmly, only to see that she was biting her lower lip tightly, her cheeks were flushed, and tears were flashing in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Ping said to Pei Zhiyan and Mother Xue, "It will take several months for this prince to return to the capital. I will trouble the princess to take care of everything in the palace. I also ask Mother Xue to help the princess."

Mother Xue responded immediately, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to assist the Princess."

Pei Zhiyan also smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of the affairs of the mansion."

Pei Zhixuan's eyes were red, and she said with a choked voice, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and have a safe journey."

Xuanyuan Ping nodded and said to everyone, "Then I will set off."

Xuanyuan Ping was in high spirits at the moment and didn't notice Pei Zhixuan's mood at all. He mounted his tall horse and set off with his guards in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

Watching Xuanyuan Ping walking away, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Pei Zhiyan's lips.

As soon as Xuanyuan Ping left the capital, Pei Zhiyan took Yinliu to Fuyun Tower leisurely.

Pei Zhiyan and Yin Liu quietly came to the back door of Fuyun Building and walked in calmly. They saw that the business inside was booming. Ever since Zhang Musheng was reprimanded by Xuanyuan Ping, Mrs. Zhang really never came again.

Pei Zhiyan nodded with satisfaction and walked into the secret chamber. The layout of the secret chamber was simple and elegant, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle outside.

After a while, Li Qiuniang walked in lightly, holding a pot of steaming fragrant tea in her hand. She had a rosy complexion and looked energetic.

She placed the hot tea on the coffee table in front of Pei Zhiyan and said softly, "Princess, please have some tea."

Pei Zhiyan smiled and nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. The aroma of hot tea spread in her mouth, making her feel comfortable.

She put down the teacup, looked at Li Qiuniang, and said, "Qiuniang, you have worked hard these days."

Li Qiuniang shook her head and said with a smile, "You are too polite, Princess. It is my honor to serve you."

Pei Zhiyan couldn't help feeling relieved as she saw that Li Qiuniang's condition was getting better and better.

She gently patted the back of Li Qiuniang's hand and said with a smile, "Qiuniang, I have seen your efforts and dedication. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must believe in yourself and believe that we will be able to overcome them."

Li Qiuniang listened to Pei Zhiyan's words, with a determined light in her eyes. She took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "Princess. I will keep working hard and live up to your expectations."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

As they were talking, Xiao Lin came in.

"Greetings, Princess." Xiao Lin bowed respectfully.

"Commander Xiao, please don't be so polite." Pei Zhiyan said with a smile.

Xiao Lin stood up and stood aside.

"Commander Xiao, Prince Jing and the Crown Prince have already gone to the disaster area. Please send some people to follow them secretly." Pei Zhiyan said, "If there is any situation, send a message back in time."

"Yes, Princess!" Xiao Lin replied.

The journey is dangerous, and Xuanyuan Zheng probably won't let go of the opportunity to kill Xuanyuan Ping. Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the royal family. Xuanyuan Zheng is already the crown prince. Among the adult princes, except for the cynical Xuanyuan Che, Xuanyuan Ping is also an ambitious one. How could Crown Prince Xuanyuan Zheng allow himself to be threatened by such a person?
