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

"Princess Chao Ren?" Empress Dowager Yan Ping repeated the name, nearly forgetting that the one in Qishun Building was called Princess Chao Ren, had Old Lady Zong not mentioned it.


However, even if Old Lady Zong knew of Zheng Nianru, she shouldn't be aware of other news regarding the offspring of Prince Duan.


At this time, Old Lady Zong was not hiding anything.


"Your Majesty, at this point, I have no reason to conceal anything. I have made inquiries and only dared to come before you after making sure everything was clear. If I were any later, I am afraid my grandson's life would have been in danger."


Startled by what she heard, Empress Dowager Yan Ping had not yet opened her mouth to ask when Old Lady Zong continued speaking.
