Pei Zhi transmigrated into a book.
The good news was that she became the Princess Consort of the Prince of Zhenbei, a position of the highest prestige.
The bad news was that the emperor saw the Prince of Zhenbei as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and would love nothing more than to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Once the Prince of Zhenbei died, she, his consort, would be done for too.
Pei Zhi: "..."
What kind of deadly opening was this?
To stay alive, Pei Zhi went to her half-dead husband's bed, wiping away tears as she begged him to stay alive for a couple more days, at least long enough for her to escape.
Xie Chengji, the Prince of Zhenbei, was extraordinary from birth. He spent his life fighting wars across the empire and won countless victories, only to be ambushed one day, gravely wounded, and left to die on the frontier.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the eve of his death.
Thinking of how his dear younger brother had not only squandered all the territory he had spent years conquering, but also ruled incompetently and harmed the worthy, leaving the people in misery, Xie Chengji couldn't help but laugh in anger.
If Xie Ruyi couldn't handle being emperor, then it was time to give someone else a chance!
As for the consort weeping by his bed, Xie Chengji scoffed. Women only slow down his sword arm!
Later, Xie Chengji would pound on the door outside the Jiaofang Palace every night. "My dear, I was wrong! Please let your husband in!"
Pei Zhi never imagined that her casual crying back then would bring the Prince of Zhenbei back to life when he was already close to death!
It was just that after her husband woke up, he seemed to have something wrong with his brain. The man who had always been so righteous had suddenly set his sights on the throne, and had the useless emperor crying for his mother.
Xie Chengji: That bastard only became emperor by taking advantage of my absence. Am I wrong to take back what's mine?
Pei Zhi: There's no way you're wrong. Being empress is much more fun than being a princess consort.
