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

Xuanyuan Che quietly came to Princess Yongtai's Lingyu Hall. The whole hall seemed unusually empty and it was so quiet that the only sound he could hear was the rustling of leaves in the wind in the distance.

The busy figures of the past were nowhere to be seen. Only two young palace maids, about ten years old, were silently sweeping the floor. There were no smiles on their faces, only a hint of worry.

Xuanyuan Che frowned. The Lingyu Palace was always bustling with people. The maids and eunuchs always surrounded Princess Yongtai like a group of bees around a flower. But today, even the air here was filled with a sense of oppression.

The two young palace maids finally noticed Xuanyuan Che's arrival. They stopped what they were doing and bowed with fear and trepidation, "Greetings to His Highness the Sixth Prince."

Xuanyuan Che nodded slightly and asked gently, "Where is your princess?"

The two young maids looked at each other, a trace of uneasiness flashing in their eyes. One of them mustered up her courage and replied in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, the princess should be resting in the palace now."

Xuanyuan Che's eyebrows slightly raised, he sensed something was wrong, and said lightly, "Take this prince over to have a look."

The two little palace maids nodded quickly, and one of them carefully led Xuanyuan Che to the main hall.

Xuanyuan Che followed behind them, his eyes sweeping across this familiar yet unfamiliar Lingyu Palace. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, as if something was quietly changing.

When they reached the door, a little palace maid went in first to pass on the message. After a while, Princess Yongtai's slightly weak voice came from inside, "Please let the Sixth Prince in."

Xuanyuan Che walked in and saw Princess Yongtai had finished changing her clothes and walked out from the inner room. Her face was extremely pale, and her figure was much thinner than usual, and she looked very haggard.

Xuanyuan Che was surprised when he saw this. He took a few steps forward and asked with concern, "Yongtai, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Princess Yongtai coughed a few times, trying to hide her discomfort. She shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing serious, I just caught a cold recently, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Xuanyuan Che frowned and asked, "Since you are sick, why don't you ask the imperial physician to come and see you? It's not a good idea to delay it like this."

Princess Yongtai stroked her chest, trying to calm her cough. "It's really okay, Sixth Brother, don't worry. I just feel a little chest tightness, I'll be fine after a little rest. No need to bother the imperial physician."

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che picked up the teapot on the table and wanted to pour her a glass of water, but the teapot was empty. He was so angry that he threw the teapot on the ground and shouted angrily, "Is everyone on duty today dead?! They didn't even prepare tea for the princess!"

He turned and looked at the two young palace maids, his eyes as sharp as knives. The two young palace maids were so frightened that they trembled all over and quickly knelt down to apologize.

Xuanyuan Che had no intention of blaming them, and ordered, "Go get the imperial physician immediately! If anything happens to the princess, none of you will survive!"

In his eyes, Princess Yongtai was a princess who had lived a life of luxury since childhood. When had she ever suffered such injustice? !

How could he not know the fickleness of the people in the palace? When his mother had just passed away, although he was favored by his father, he was often tripped up by people in the palace. If he had not acted arrogantly, he would have been swallowed up by them without a bone.

Thinking of this, he actually understood why Princess Yongtai had become vicious. The Queen was deposed and she had no one to protect her in the palace, so naturally her mentality would change.

However, she was using her cruelty on the wrong person. She should have used it against those who bullied her, not Pei Zhiyan.

Princess Yongtai waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let them be."

Xuanyuan Che ignored them and just glanced over. The two little palace maids nodded quickly and ran to call the imperial physician in a panic.

After a while, they heard a commotion outside, followed by hurried footsteps approaching. Several palace maids and eunuchs walked to the door of the palace, and saw Xuanyuan Che sitting in the palace. The expressions on their faces immediately changed from dissatisfaction and complaints to respect and flattery.

They walked quickly into the hall, and one of the eunuchs in charge stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Greetings to His Highness the Sixth Prince!"

"Sixth Prince, how come you have time to come here today?"

"Does this prince need your permission to come and see his sister?!" Xuanyuan Che said coldly.

The eunuch in charge was frightened by Xuanyuan Che's tone and quickly apologized with a smile, "Your Highness, you must be joking. How could I have the courage to do that? It is an honor for the princess and for us that you can come to visit."

"Hmph! This prince thinks you are very brave!" There was a chill in Xuanyuan Che's words. The eunuch in charge felt the chill and trembled involuntarily, with a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Sixth...Sixth Prince..." Before the eunuch in charge could finish his words, Xuanyuan Che suddenly stood up and kicked the eunuch in the heart.

The eunuch in charge had no time to react before he was kicked by Xuanyuan Che and flew more than two meters away, falling heavily to the ground.

The other palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened upon seeing this that they fell to their knees, not daring to breathe.

The Sixth Prince usually loves to laugh and joke with the palace maids and eunuchs, but when he gets naughty, he even dares to contradict the Emperor. He is a well-known devil.

The eunuch in charge was kicked by Xuanyuan Che and couldn't get up for a long time. The two young eunuchs behind him saw this and although they were afraid, they still bravely helped him up.

The eunuch in charge knelt on the ground and said with a look of grievance, "Sixth Prince, I really don't know how I offended you today. Please tell me clearly, and I will correct it."

Xuanyuan Che looked at him coldly and asked, "Do you still remember your responsibilities?!"

The eunuch in charge bowed his head and said in a trembling voice, "My duty is to serve the princess and do my best to serve her."

"So this is how you serve the princess?!" Xuanyuan Che said, and slammed the table hard, causing the teacup on the table to jump up. He casually threw the teacup at the eunuch in charge. The teacup drew an arc in the air and hit the eunuch on the head, causing blood to flow out immediately.

The eunuch in charge was so frightened that he trembled all over and kowtowed quickly, saying, "Sixth Prince, please calm down. I didn't mean to neglect the princess on purpose. I just had something important to do and was unable to prepare tea for the princess in time."

"Important?" Xuanyuan Che sneered, "Are you going to play for money? Or are you going to fight crickets? Do you think I don't know what you're doing?"

The eunuch in charge was trembling all over, with cold sweat on his forehead. He knew that he had really angered the Sixth Prince this time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape. He regretted it in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he should not have coveted those pleasures and delayed the princess's affairs.

Xuanyuan Che looked at the miserable state of the eunuch in charge without any sympathy. He glanced at everyone present with a sinister look, and then said coldly, "Send this cunning slave to Li, the chief eunuch, for me!"

The eunuch in charge begged for mercy, and everyone gasped. Xuanyuan Che's personal guards carried him out like an eagle carrying a chick.

If it is sent to Li, the chief steward in the palace, what good can come of it?
