In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

The Qi Mansion is extremely lively today, with lights and decorations everywhere, guests gathering, and laughter everywhere.

The Qi Mansion specially held a banquet for King Nan'an. Not only that, the Qi Mansion also invited several relatives to accompany them, making the banquet more grand and magnificent.

What was unexpected was that Prime Minister Pei, who kept a certain distance from the Qi Mansion, actually came here on his own initiative, and he had not received any invitation.

In fact, the reason why the Qi Mansion did not send an invitation to the Pei family was not because there were any irreconcilable contradictions or disputes between the two families. On the contrary, they considered that once the King of Nannan left, Queen Mother Lu would most likely retaliate against the Qi Mansion. In this case, the Qi Mansion did not want to bring any unnecessary troubles and troubles to the Pei family.

But now, Prime Minister Pei personally brought his son to the banquet, which undoubtedly made the whole scene more lively and cheerful.

As for the Yuan family, although the Qi Mansion had already sent out an invitation, Doctor Yuan sent someone to reply, saying, "Something happened suddenly at home, and I really can't come to the banquet."

All the dishes for this banquet were carefully prepared by the imperial chefs sent by Zongzhengsi. With their superb cooking skills, these imperial chefs presented the guests with rich and delicious dishes. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the guests praised the banquet highly.

During the banquet, some old officials came in from the back door of Qi's mansion and kowtowed to King Nan'an and toasted him, saying, "I am very happy to see your majesty."

"Thank you for your concern." Wang Qin said with a smile.

The Qi government invited the officials to take a seat, but they all refused.

"Then let's meet again another day and have a drink before leaving." King Nannan gave the wine.

The old official drank the wine given by the King of Nangan and left.

Queen Mother Lu in the palace has been paying attention to the news about King Nannan.

She sent many people out to inquire and learned that the Qi Mansion was holding a banquet and some officials in the court went uninvited to pay a visit to the King of Nangan.

She was furious. "Someone is betraying me."

Duke Huiguo slowly approached Empress Dowager Lu, put his lips close to her ear, lowered his voice and said softly: "Cousin, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

After saying this, he raised his head and gazed at Empress Dowager Lu with a look full of affection. There seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes, blazing and charming.

"Cousin, I am the only one who can share all your worries and pressures with you." Duke Huiguo continued softly, while gently holding Empress Dowager Lu's hand.

Empress Dowager Lu's heart began to beat uncontrollably, as if a deer was running rampant inside her.

After all, she is still young, only in her twenties, in the prime of her youth and beauty.

When she meets a love veteran like Duke Huiguo, how can she remain calm in the face of his constant teasing and provocation?

Duke Huiguo saw that Empress Dowager Lu's face was red, and whispered in her ear: "Cousin, women need the nourishment of men to be more youthful and beautiful."

After all, Queen Mother Lu was still a little reserved and couldn't let go. She moved aside, but did not directly reject Duke Huiguo.

When Duke Huiguo saw this, he thought he had a chance, so he stepped forward, put his arms around Empress Dowager Lu's slender waist, then put his mouth close to her lips and kissed her alluring red lips, while his hands wandered up and down her body, caressing her to his heart's content.

Empress Dowager Lu's breathing suddenly became rapid, her body began to tremble slightly, and she pushed Duke Huiguo weakly with her hands.

"The late emperor had countless women, so why should my cousin remain faithful to him?" Duke Huiguo said softly. This sentence instantly aroused all the dissatisfaction and resentment in Empress Dowager Lu's heart.

She remembered how the late emperor doted on Zuo, and how she and her two children were almost killed because of Zuo. Anger and resentment surged in her heart, causing Empress Dowager Lu to kiss him back without hesitation.

Duke Huiguo was extremely surprised. He picked up the empress dowager and walked into the inner room. The two of them fluttered on the bed like dragonflies in the summer, playing with each other enthusiastically.

Duke Huiguo captured Empress Dowager Lu and did his best to serve her until she was satisfied and happy.

He knew that from now on he would be the most powerful person in the Prussian Empire.

During the short break, Duke Huiguo got up to fetch water and personally fed the Queen Mother water. He then carried the Queen Mother to bathe and wiped her body.

The Queen Mother enjoyed it very much. "I have never been served like this by a man before." She felt loved by a man for the first time.

Afterwards she asked, "Cousin, what about the matter of King Nangan?"

Duke Huiguo smiled complacently and said, "That's easy."

He came up with a good idea for Empress Dowager Lu: "You need a palace maid to marry a princess, and then let the palace maid drug him."

"Can it be done?"

Duke Huiguo said to Queen Dowager Lu: "I have a good candidate who will definitely make Queen Qi and King Nan'an fall out."

His method was to send a woman to compete for favor with the eldest daughter of the Qi family, making her hate the King of Nangan. Then, instead of helping Nangan, the people of the Qi family would help the Pu Dynasty attack Nangan.

After hearing his words, Empress Dowager Lu happily gave him a kiss and said, "My beloved still has a solution."

The two of them went back and forth, passionately making out again and again, until Duke Huiguo said, "Cousin, wait for me to rest for a day, and I will come to serve you tomorrow."

"You should go to the brothel to find some good medicine." Empress Dowager Lu said with a frown before letting him go reluctantly.

The imperial guards who served Empress Dowager Lu closely secretly told Commander Cheng everything they learned that day.

"Duke Huiguo and Empress Dowager Lu are in love."

"They made an alliance on the bed to give a woman to the King of Nangan."

"It seems that Empress Dowager Lu is not satisfied. She asks Duke Huiguo to go to the brothel to find medicine."

Cheng Tong was shocked and thought to himself, "Isn't this a harem of adultery?"

He was worried again, "If Empress Dowager Lu is controlled by Duke Huiguo, it will be a big trouble."

He knew Duke Huiguo very well. He had no real ability, but was extremely ambitious.

What happened in the harem was too serious and concerned the reputation of the empress dowager. Commander Cheng did not dare to tell others and he was very anxious.

On the one hand, Commander Cheng always kept in mind: "I am a good person." He always did things according to the standards of a good person.

Recently, the Cheng family came to him several times, "Commander Cheng, it's not good to have a woman in our family who is a military prostitute. It affects the marriage prospects of our children. Please find a way to get Cheng, who is a military prostitute, out, or kill her."

Commander Cheng refused, "She is so bold that she even dared to scold the daughter of the Duke's Mansion and plot against her. Now this is the punishment she deserves."

On the other hand, Commander Cheng also clearly remembered what Empress Dowager Lu once said: "I will confer the title on you when the young emperor gets married."

Now, Duke Huiguo and Empress Dowager Lu are colluding together, which makes Commander Cheng worried. He knows that if they continue like this, his future may be affected.

After careful consideration, Commander Cheng finally came up with a way to resolve the issue of Duke Huiguo enjoying the exclusive favor of Empress Dowager Lu.

From that day on, all the guards he sent to serve beside Empress Dowager Lu were tall and handsome men.

Because Duke Huiguo can only enter the palace during the day and must leave the palace at night.

When the night was quiet, Empress Dowager Lu would feel lonely and unable to fall asleep.

Her eyes involuntarily fell on the guards.

As Commander Cheng expected, Empress Dowager Lu actually asked one of the guards to serve her on the bed. From then on, Empress Dowager Lu began to keep a lover, and it was out of control.

Any man she likes will be served by her and promoted three levels.

Naturally, no one mentioned a word to Duke Huiguo about these things.

The day before King Nan'an's wedding, Duke Huiguo brought a woman into the palace.

"Empress Dowager, please give this woman to Duke Nan'an as his concubine." Duke Hui said with a smile, "He and the Queen will have no choice but to accept her."

Queen Mother Lu looked at the heavily made-up and carefully dressed woman and asked with a sour tone, "You used her first, didn't you?"

Duke Huiguo laughed, "Your Highness, you are just acting according to the situation." He leaned close to Empress Dowager Lu's ear and said, "This way, she will be loyal."

Empress Dowager Lu smiled. She already had a bunch of lovers anyway, so she didn't mind how many women her lover had.

After the introduction by Duke Huiguo, "She is the second daughter of Imperial Physician Yuan and the cousin of the Qi family."

Empress Dowager Lu suddenly realized, "With such a relationship, of course we should use it."

Relative relationships are the best and easiest to exploit.

She obviously forgot one thing: Ding Jinxiu, who was executed a few days ago, was the daughter of the Qi family.
