Deer Sixteen

Zheng Nianru went from being a Commandery Princess who could be killed at any moment to the position of the Empress Dowager, wielding power over the world. What she couldn't accept was that she didn't end up with a good fate. However, Zheng Nianru thought that no one would have been able to save Nanzheng State.
Yet, she was reborn and, having deeply reflected upon her pain, also considered several past mistakes. Firstly, she should not have married down into the family of Ju Nanyi, a man with a narrow mind who came from a minor house, who only thought about romantic affairs and entangled with her in desperate affection, incapable of assisting Nanzheng. Secondly, she should not have killed everyone in Qiandao Temple, which was the spiritual pillar of the people of Nanzheng State. After all, there were better ways, weren't there, like seduction? Thirdly, she should not have been so confident that the monarch of the neighboring country would fall at her feet, nor should she have trusted the promise of that fickle neighboring monarch, which led to years of drawn-out conflict between the two states.
Um, Zheng Nianru felt she was not wrong. She just wanted to live well and to be a good Empress Dowager. Since she had the chance to live again, why did she have this chance? Could it be that she was expected to once again turn Nanzheng State upside down?

Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved

"Lord Ju, please take a look and see whether this matter needs to be reported," Ling Ge added.


Ju Nanyi hesitated only for a moment. Although he was not acquainted with Ling Ge, and their first collaboration was only at Siyan Lake, Ju could tell that Ling Ge was someone who could keep his composure. Therefore, he nodded and gestured for Commander-in-Chief Ling to lead the way.


Ling Ge, not daring to delay, immediately went ahead. The night was like a curtain falling. Ling Ge hurried along, quickly leading Ju Nanyi through the darkness. After a quarter of an hour, they stopped in a secluded alley near the Eldest Princess Mansion.


"Our men were on patrol and encountered that... monster," Ling Ge didn't know how else to describe it, and the first words that came to mind were 'monster.'


The people in the alley who saw Ling Ge coming immediately had two guards rushing over, their expressions a mix of bewilderment and indescribable unease.
