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

Gu Dao and Xi Feng hurriedly followed, so many people! What were they doing?


"Heir Zong, we discovered a Ghost Shadow entering the Zong Sheng Residence, and we chased it here," Ju Nanyi said curtly, watching Yunqian's reaction.


"Ghost Shadow? It's laughable to claim our residence could harbor a Ghost Shadow," Gu Dao replied, finding the idea utterly ludicrous.


"If there's none, a look will confirm it. Why so defensive?" Yu Yuan shot back, "Heir Zong, why are you only wearing a robe?"


Could it be he hadn't had time to put on a coat?


The moment Yu Yuan spoke, everyone's attention shifted to Yunqian. They had just stripped a coat off a suspicious person in the forest, and here was Yunqian without one—a striking coincidence.


"Who are you saying is defensive?" Gu Dao instantly raised his voice, irritably looking at Yu Yuan, daring to be so bold in front of the Zong Sheng Residence.
