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?

Zheng Nianru's eyes lit up upon hearing this; she had a new idea.


Zong Yunqian also turned around and saw that the other spectators on the stands were filled with excitement, completely oblivious to the fact that the conversation they had just heard involved the lives of dozens, just like the animals before them.


"Arm them with weapons?" Zheng Nianru spoke up. Without weapons, those dozens of people sent down would be even worse off than the wolves before, not to mention their yelling and cursing would make the spectacle not only dull, but also not the least bit thrilling.


Zheng Haoyuan was startled; he hadn't thought of this.


"Arm, arm, arm—" Eunuch Cang Er had already started speaking.


Lu Hu looked over skeptically; where would they find so many weapons at this time?
