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

The guard was taken aback for a moment, then spoke with unwavering certainty.


"Prince, Heir Zong also fell down," he said. Anyway, at that moment, if they didn't say anything, who would know?


Prince Duan closed his eyes momentarily, steadying his nerves. Nanny Yun had already rushed into the great hall, staring at everyone with a look of shock on her face.


Prince Duan had no time to explain; he gestured for Housekeeper He to come over.


"Go to the Crown Prince's Mansion—ask the Crown Prince for the hunting dogs, all of them. Also, Nanny Yun, fetch some of the Commandery Princess's usual clothes and belongings."


"Oh, oh, alright." Nanny Yun knew this was not the time to ask questions nor to panic; she immediately went to retrieve the items.


Soon, Nanny Yun brought over a handkerchief, a sachet, and outerwear. Prince Duan had already arranged all the carriages; irrespective of rank, both masters and servants squeezed into several of them.
