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

Prince Jing's Mansion

"Princess, everyone is here." The voice of Captain Li, the palace guard, rang out in the courtyard. He had already assembled a team of men and horses, who were lined up neatly in the courtyard, waiting for Pei Zhiyan's order.

Pei Zhiyan stood on the steps and looked at Commander Li firmly, "Okay! Let's set off immediately!"

Yin Ping stood aside, her eyes red, obviously she hadn't slept all night. She had already persuaded Pei Zhiyan last night, but the princess still insisted on going to the disaster area. She knew that the princess's decision was not something she could change, but she couldn't suppress the worry in her heart.

"Princess..." Yinping called softly, her voice full of reluctance and worry.

Pei Zhiyan turned her head and looked at Yinping. A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She gently patted the back of Yinping's hand and said, "Don't say anything. I have made up my mind." Then, she whispered to Yinping, "Keep an eye on the palace for me."

Mother Xue was also standing by, her eyes full of emotion. She didn't expect that the princess would go to the disaster area in person to assist the prince, which made her both admire and worry.

She walked up to Pei Zhiyan and bowed deeply, "Princess, safety comes first. You must take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, the princess and the prince will definitely return to the capital safely." Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly.

Pei Zhixuan walked over with a twisted waist, with a hint of sarcasm on her face, and said with a fake smile, "Take care of yourself, sister."

Pei Zhiyan turned her head and glanced at her, a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes, and she said lightly, "Thank you, sister."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the team, and was greeted by Commander Li. They were heading south with a batch of disaster relief supplies.

A group of people gathered at the gate of Prince Jing's mansion. When they heard that Prince Jing's wife was going south, they began to talk about it.

The princess is worthy of being General Lin's granddaughter. At this time, she actually took the risk to go south to help the prince with disaster relief. She is really as good as any man and is more responsible than the prince.

According to the memory of the previous life, the epidemic is almost over. As long as one takes protective measures, there is no danger of infection. That's why Pei Zhiyan decided to go.

Pei Zhiyan did this not just to gain Xuanyuan Ping's trust, she also wanted to do what she could for the people. In addition, in her previous life, Xuanyuan Ping met the genius doctor Song here. In this life, she wanted to find him in advance so that he could help her grandfather treat his leg disease.

Along the way, they saw many heartbreaking scenes. The original village had been flooded, leaving only ruins. Countless people were displaced, homeless, hungry, and poorly clothed, with despair and helplessness in their eyes, which made Pei Zhiyan deeply sad.

After several days of arduous journey, Pei Zhiyan was finally about to meet up with Xuanyuan Ping's team.

Pei Zhiyan led a group of people who finally arrived at the disaster area with light luggage. The scene before them was shocking, with broken walls and ruins, and a mess. The dead and wounded people were lying on the ground in all directions, and the air was filled with the smell of death and despair.

Suddenly, a dishevelled little boy came into Pei Zhiyan's sight. He was thin and weak, with ragged clothes, staring at them with eyes full of desire and fear.

Pei Zhiyan felt a strong sense of sympathy and compassion in her heart. As soon as she gestured, a guard beside her took out the dry food on his body and handed it to her. All of a sudden, several men rushed forward and snatched the dry food without hesitation.

Pei Zhiyan and her group were stunned. They didn't expect that these people would be so hungry that they would eat anything. Thanks to several guards, Pei Zhiyan and the little boy were not harmed.

When they arrived at Xuanyuan Ping's camp, Pei Zhiyan quietly came to the outside of Xuanyuan Ping's tent.

"Prince!" Pei Zhiyan called softly.

Xuanyuan Ping, who was handling official business in the tent, looked up when he heard the voice, only to see Pei Zhiyan. He was stunned and asked in surprise, "Princess, why are you here?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Ping suddenly felt a strong dizziness, his eyes went dark, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably. He tried hard to support himself, but eventually fell weakly on the couch and lost consciousness.

After a while, Xuanyuan Ping gradually regained consciousness. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the couch, while Pei Zhiyan was holding a bowl of medicine and feeding him medicine.

"Prince, you're awake." Pei Zhiyan said softly.

Xuanyuan Ping nodded, looked at Pei Zhiyan, and asked in confusion, "What happened to me just now?"

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly and handed the medicine bowl to Xuanyuan Ping, "Your Highness, you are just too tired and a little weak. This bowl of medicine is specially prepared for you. After drinking it, you will feel better."

Xuanyuan Ping took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp. He felt his body gradually regain its strength and his spirit became more vigorous.

"Why is the princess here suddenly?" Xuanyuan Ping asked in surprise again.

Pei Zhiyan lowered her head, revealing a trace of sadness, and said softly, "I miss the prince. The epidemic is getting worse and worse. The disaster area lacks medicine and supplies. I am worried that the prince will be in danger here."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist. "I can only feel relieved when I see that the prince is safe and sound. This time I came here in person, bringing some medicinal herbs and supplies, hoping to help the prince."

Xuanyuan Ping looked at Pei Zhiyan and couldn't help feeling touched. He could tell that she really cared about his safety.

At this moment, the military doctor came in and bowed to Xuanyuan Ping and Pei Zhiyan, "Greetings to the prince, greetings to the princess."

Xuanyuan Ping nodded slightly, motioning him to stand up, and then asked, "Military Doctor, how is the king's health?"

The military doctor looked at Xuanyuan Ping and continued, "Your Highness, you showed signs of illness a few days ago. Fortunately, the princess sent the medicine in time, and your condition has been brought under control. You only need to take the medicine for a few more days and you will be fine."

Hearing the words of the military doctor, Pei Zhiyan showed a relieved expression on her face. She looked at Xuanyuan Ping and said softly, "My lord, as long as you are well, I will be relieved."

When Xuanyuan Ping heard this, he felt complicated emotions in his heart. This woman had saved him once, and he had always been extremely cold to her. Was this a bit of ingratitude?

However, since she is the princess of Prince Jing's Mansion, she should naturally put herself first in everything. Thinking of this, the guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ping suddenly thought of something. He turned to the military doctor and said, "This epidemic is coming fiercely. Are there other people infected in the barracks?"

Upon hearing this, the military doctor immediately replied, "Your Highness, there are currently dozens of people in the military camp infected with the disease, but fortunately the medicines sent by the princess are sufficient, and we have begun treating them."

Xuanyuan Ping nodded and said in a deep voice, "We must ensure that all infected people receive timely treatment, and at the same time strengthen the epidemic prevention measures in the military camp to prevent the further spread of the epidemic."

The military doctor replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it immediately."
