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

"Eunuch Cang Er, you're putting me in a difficult position," Lord Lu was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, having given all the scattered weapons brought by the guards' carriage to the prisoners—and even then, it was less than ten sets. At this moment, with no village ahead and no shop behind, where could he find more?


Upon hearing this, Cang Er panicked. The Commandery Princess had come up with this ploy without considering whether they had enough arms. Cang Er was about to turn and report when suddenly he noticed the weapons at the guards' waists. Right now, there was no room for hesitation.


"Lord Lu, quick, take a look! How many weapons do your guards have?" Cang Er said, already pulling a sword from a guard's waist to toss to Lu Hu, who immediately understood Cang Er's intentions.


"But, but—what if His Highness is in danger and all of them are unarmed?"
