Before Pei Yuance went to war, Pei Zhi was entrusted by Pei Yuance to accompany Yan Xinyue back to the Yan family.
Yan Xinyue was threatened by Pei Yuance to return to her parents' home and ask her father to take good care of Pei Yuance on the battlefield.
Pei Yuanze's purpose was nothing more than to make Yan Xinyue cry.
She had just married Pei Yuance; if anything happened to him, she would become a widow.
Under no circumstances should the Yan family send Pei Yuance to the battlefield.
Pei Yuanze couldn't say such things openly to the General of the Escort Banner.
Someone had to speak up, and that person was Yan Xinyue.
Pei Yuanze had Pei Zhi accompany him because he was afraid that Yan Xinyue would say something she shouldn't have.
Pei Yuanze now completely trusts Pei Zhi, and he feels at ease entrusting this matter to her.
Pei Zhi said lightly, "You've remembered your brother's instructions, so don't try anything funny later."
Yan Xinyue glared at Pei Zhi, "Pei Yuance, that cowardly coward, wants to go to the battlefield but also wants to be a coward. How can someone like him ever rise to a high position?"
Yan Xinyue's father was a military general, and when she remembered Pei Yuance's instructions, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Pei Yuance was the one who wanted to go to the battlefield, and Pei Yuance was also the one who was afraid of death.
So, Pei Yuanze just went to steal the credit that others had risked their lives for?
"If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to go to Solo for a political marriage rather than marry him!"
Yan Xinyue is filled with regret whenever she brings it up now.
If she had known this would happen, she would have preferred to go to Solomon's country and die rather than marry such a thing.
"Oh."
Pei Zhi scoffed, "Why do you think Prince Thoreau suddenly proposed to marry you?"
"It was my elder brother who secretly plotted this, just to scare you. Even if Father wanted to appease the military generals, he would never allow you to marry into the Kingdom of Solo."
"What?" Yan Xinyue was completely bewildered.
Back then, Yan's father said the same thing to Yan Xinyue.
But Yan Xinyue dared not gamble. She was afraid that if she married into the Kingdom of Solo, she would suffer a fate worse than death.
Those people must have wanted nothing more than to eat her flesh and drink her blood.
In comparison, at least she married Pei Yuance, who was a prince, while she remained in the capital.
Now, she's being told that it was all Pei Yuanze's conspiracy.
“Back then, when my mother asked the Yan family for your hand in marriage, your Yan family looked down on my brother, so my brother came up with this scheme.”
Pei Zhi said arrogantly, "When you pushed me into the pool, my brother promised me that he would let me take revenge once you were no longer of any use to him."
"So, while you still have some use, do as I say, or you'll suffer a terrible fate."
Yan Xinyue's face was completely bloodless.
Yes, she and Pei Zhi have a blood feud.
Pei Yuance took all her dowry, and if she were to ask her father to support Pei Yuance...
Yan Xinyue understood perfectly well that if Pei Yuance were to actually ascend to the throne in the future, she wouldn't have a good life either.
Pei Yuanze doesn't like her at all, so why should she help him?
"Sigh, I don't understand what my brother is thinking. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes, yet he insists on going to the battlefield."
Pei Zhi held up a handkerchief, waving it around to exhale the steam. "Fortunately, with your father looking after you, nothing will happen. That's the only thing you're good for."
Yan Xinyue's heart stirred slightly. Pei Yuance had treated her this way, so why should she go home and ask her father, the Emperor, to take care of Pei Yuance?
Let's just go all the way and let Pei Yuance die on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, swords have no eyes; Pei Yuance's inability to return can only be attributed to his bad luck.
At that time, her father will plead with His Majesty, and she will surely be able to return home and escape the hellish pit that is Pei Yuanze.
Pei Zhi smiled, seeing that she had listened to what she said.
If Yan Xinyue still doesn't understand after all this hinting, she'd truly be a fool.
Upon arriving at the Yan residence, the people of the Yan family came to pay their respects to Pei Zhi and Yan Xinyue.
After taking their seats, a maid accidentally spilled tea on Pei Zhi's skirt.
Pei Zhi had no choice but to get up and change into some spare clothes.
Before leaving, Pei Zhi gave Yan Xinyue a look that seemed to intimidate her, signaling her not to say anything out of line.
As soon as Pei Zhi left, Yan Xinyue quickly told her maid to stand guard at the door and loudly remind Pei Zhi if she returned.
"Father, save me."
Yan Xinyue knelt at her father's feet, clutching his clothes, and burst into tears.
"My goodness, why is this happening?"
When Yan's father saw Yan Xinyue crying like this, he panicked.
"Father, you must save me, my heart is breaking."
Yan Xinyue was the apple of the Yan family's eye, and everyone doted on her.
No one in her family has ever seen her cry like this before.
Madam Yan helped Yan Xinyue to her feet and comforted her, saying that being married is different from being at home, and it's normal to suffer some grievances.
Yan Xinyue tearfully recounted how Pei Yuance had taken her dowry.
"What?"
Now, neither Madam Yan nor her father remained calm.
"He's a prince, yet he used his wife's dowry?"
Lady Yan said angrily, "I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask the Empress where this rule comes from. I want to see if the royal family has any dignity left."
"Father, the Fifth Prince says that he wants to go to the battlefield with you this time. No matter what, Father, you must find a way to make sure that he never returns from the battlefield."
Yan's father angrily rebuked, "Nonsense!"
Madam Yan disagreed, saying, "The Fifth Prince is your husband, after all. If he really does become your husband in the future... you can too."
“Mother,” Yan Xinyue looked at Madam Yan with teary eyes, “No, it can’t be. The Fifth Prince doesn’t like me at all.”
"Even if the Fifth Prince really does die one day, my fate won't be any better. You've forgotten, there's still Consort Zhong who's pregnant."
Yan's father scolded, "Then you must not say anything like that the Fifth Prince should die on the battlefield. If you are caught doing that, our whole family will be punished."
"Father, on the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes, and the Fifth Prince has no experience in fighting. Who knows what happened in between?"
Yan Xinyue cried out, "Father, don't forget the grudge between me and Princess Chang Le. When the reckoning comes, what good days will our Yan family have left?"
Yan's father hesitated, looking at his only daughter, his face immediately filled with worry.
“Even if Pei Yuance ascends to the throne, the Empress’s position will definitely belong to the Zhong family. He doesn’t like me, and if he’s not careful, he might kill me.”
Yan Xinyue knelt down again. "Father, do you really want your daughter to die?"
Father Yan fell silent. Seeing this, Yan Xinyue said, "Fine, since Father won't help me, I might as well just kill myself now, so I won't suffer in the future."
