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

Prince Duan finally caught up with Zheng Haoyuan an hour later. Zheng Haoyuan held up the hem of his robe himself, not needing Cang Er's support, and walked at the forefront. His pair of brocade boots were already covered in mud, and his outer robe had long been discarded. The sleeves of his single garment had also been rolled up to the crook of his arms, his face was a sheet of contusion, with only two lines washed by tears still showing his fair skin.


"Imperial Uncle——" Upon hearing Lu Hu's words, Zheng Haoyuan went directly to receive Prince Duan. Before he even approached, he knelt down with a plop on the muddy bank of the river.


"Imperial Uncle, it's all my fault, I deserve to die——" Zheng Haoyuan truly wished to die, his mind was filled with the thought that he had caused his cousin's death.
