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

The sky in the capital is always unpredictable. Today, the sky in the capital seems to be more gloomy than usual, with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing something. In a corner of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Xuanyuan Che stood in front of the window, looking deep into the distance.

He could ignore these rumors, but what about Yan'er? She was innocently implicated, how should she face all this?

Now in the eyes of the world, Pei Zhiyan has become a whore who seduced her brother-in-law.

He thought that once his affair with Pei Zhiyan was exposed, it would bring a lot of rumors. But he never expected that these rumors would be so vicious and unscrupulous.

Women have to bear more pressure and constraints, and Pei Zhiyan, as a misunderstood and stigmatized woman, has to endure unimaginable pain and pressure.

She shouldn't have to endure all this. He would rather bear all the pain himself than let her get hurt in the slightest.

On the second day, the Prince of Xiliang brought Princess Galan to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Although Princess Galan had a beautiful face, her expression was unusually cold. Xuanyuan Che looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but think of Yongtai again. Yongtai was still in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, in a trance all day, and no one knew when he would be able to return to normal.

Although the matter between him and Princess Galan was a plot, she was also a victim. In this world where a woman's reputation is more important than anything else, her reputation was tarnished for no reason, and he should give her an explanation.

"Princess, are you visiting my humble abode today because of the matter at Mulan Paddock?" Xuanyuan Che's voice broke the silence, with a hint of alienation in his tone.

"Xuanyuan Che, if you don't give us an explanation today, we will not leave here!" Prince Xiliang stepped forward and said viciously, with anger flashing in his eyes. His dissatisfaction and hostility towards Xuanyuan Che were obvious.

"elder brother!"

Princess Galan stopped him, then nodded slightly at Xuanyuan Che, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "My brother is a reckless person, please don't be offended, Sixth Prince."

Xuanyuan Che now understood the feelings of the Xiliang prince. He was just like him, just eager to protect his sister. He shook his head slightly, "It's okay. This prince understands the prince's feelings."

Prince Xiliang reluctantly returned to his seat, picked up the teacup, and drank it in big gulps. Seeing his sister being so humble in front of Xuanyuan Che, he became even more irritated.

On the surface, it was Xuanyuan Che's fault. The Emperor of Great Zhou had promised to make the decision for his sister. Now that he was back, they could just go to the palace to ask the Emperor of Great Zhou to issue an edict. Why did they come to him?

Princess Galan then smiled at Xuanyuan Che again and said calmly, "The reason we two came here today is not entirely because of the matter at Mulan Paddock."

"Sixth Prince, it's time to clarify what's going on between you and me."

There was a hint of determination in Princess Galan's voice. She didn't want to delay any longer, and didn't want to indulge herself in this fruitless emotion.

"Princess, this prince will naturally give you an explanation about what happened between you and me." Xuanyuan Che spoke calmly, with a hint of firmness in his voice.

"The reason I came here today is not to ask for an explanation. I just want to ask the Sixth Prince in person whether he really has no feelings for me at all?" asked Princess Galan.

Xuanyuan Che was silent, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he couldn't lie to her, he really didn't have any feelings for her, and he couldn't let her have any illusions. But he also understood that such a truth would undoubtedly hurt Princess Galan.

"Princess, you are of noble status, and this prince and you are not a good match. There are many good men in this world. I believe you will find the happiness that truly belongs to you." There was a hint of bitterness in Xuanyuan Che's voice, and his heart was filled with guilt and helplessness.

Princess Galan felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard this. She looked up at Xuanyuan Che, trying to find the answer from his eyes. She saw that in those deep eyes, there was no love for her at all, only deep helplessness and apology.

She held back the tears in her eyes and smiled, a smile that was somewhat sad. Before she came, she knew in her heart that this would be the result. Xuanyuan Che's escape had already explained everything. It was only when she heard Xuanyuan Che say it himself that she really gave up.

"Maybe, let's just pretend nothing happened between you and me." She said softly, then turned and left, leaving Xuanyuan Che standing there alone, silently watching her back.

He originally thought that Princess Jialan would come to the Sixth Prince's Mansion today to force him to marry her and become a victim of political marriage. However, she actually left so lightly.

The faces of Pei Zhiyan, Yongtai, and Princess Galan appeared in his mind one after another. He was a little confused, as he couldn't figure out what they were thinking.

There was no way that Prince Xiliang would swallow this humiliation. His face was ashen and his anger was evident in his words. He could not bear to see his sister, Princess Galan, being treated so unfairly.

He rushed towards Xuanyuan Che angrily, and the guards around him immediately surrounded him vigilantly, holding weapons in their hands, with sharp eyes, ready to attack at any time.

Xuanyuan Che did not seem panicked. He waved his hand lightly, signaling the guards to retreat.

"Xuanyuan Che, you are a guy who dares to do things but not to take responsibility!" The Prince of Xiliang's eyes were blazing with fire, and he grabbed Xuanyuan Che's clothes tightly, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Xuanyuan Che's eyes were calm, as if he would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. He looked at the Xiliang prince calmly, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Don't worry, this prince will definitely give you an explanation."

The Prince of Xiliang looked at Xuanyuan Che's calm and determined eyes. Although the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart had not completely dissipated, he also felt a sense of inexplicable peace of mind. He knew that since Xuanyuan Che had made such a promise, he would definitely try his best to fulfill it.

So he let go of the hand that was grabbing Xuanyuan Che's clothes, looked at him deeply, and then turned and left.

After the Prince of Xiliang left, Xuanyuan Che locked himself in the study. He was in a state of confusion. He and Pei Zhiyan had already had a rift because of Yongtai's affairs. Now the rumors about the two of them in the capital were getting more and more intense. He couldn't let Yan'er get hurt any more. It seemed that it was time for him to put an end to it.

As night fell, Xuanyuan Che finally walked out of the study. His eyes were firm, as if he had made a decision. He mounted his horse and galloped towards the palace, leaving a long trail of dust behind him.
