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

After listening to Duke Huiguo's words, Empress Dowager Lu decided to prepare ten beauties as dowry for King Nannan, and give them to him when he came to marry.

Among them is a heavily made-up beauty who has transformed herself from the inside out—Yuan Pandi.

She suffered a great shock and has been in a daze and depressed for the past two days.

When Yuan Pandi was watching the King of Nannan delivering the betrothal gifts, he went out of the house alone to watch the fun. He was jealous of his cousin and kept cursing. The woman recognized her greed, so she went up to her and said a few words to her, kidnapped her, and then wanted to sell her to a brothel.

I happened to meet Li Ya, the guard of Duke Huiguo, playing in a brothel and heard a woman crying, "Please let me go. My father is the imperial physician, and my cousin is the queen of the Southern Kingdom..."

Li Ya didn't know whether it was true or not, but he saw that the girl was pretty and thought that his master had often wanted to find a pure young lady from an official family to play with.

He immediately stood up and said to the woman sternly, "How dare you kidnap a good girl? I will take you to the government office to see the officials."

The old woman left Yuan Panddi behind and ran away.

After Li Ya brought Yuan Pandi back to the Huiguo Mansion, he went directly to meet the Duke and brought Yuan Pandi to him. Li Ya flatteredly said, "Duke, this is a great treasure! She is the cousin of the Queen of the Southern Kingdom!"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise and calculation flashed in Duke Huiguo's eyes.

He immediately stood up, walked over to Yuan Pandi, and looked her up and down, "This is a good piece of stuff."

"Let me go." Yuan Pandi begged.

"How could I let you go?" Duke Huiguo laughed, pulled her into the room and threw her onto the bed.

Yuan Pandi was so frightened that her face turned pale and she had no time to resist. Duke Huiguo had already impatiently stripped off her clothes and took her by force.

After the incident, Duke Huiguo looked at Yuan Pandi triumphantly and said, "There are only benefits and no harm in following me. Do you know who I am? I am Duke Huiguo!"

Only then did Yuan Pandi realize that he had met a powerful person, and he secretly felt fortunate.

She originally thought that she was just violated by an ordinary rich young man, but she didn't expect it to be the Duke.

She thought to herself that being able to marry such a powerful man would definitely be better than marrying a poor scholar.

So, she said shyly: "My Lord, since you have already obtained my body, why don't you marry me..."

Duke Huiguo interrupted her mercilessly and said with a sneer: "Hmph, what are you thinking? With your status, are you worthy of being my wife?" After that, he got out of the bed naked and looked at Yuan Pandi with disgust.

"Then... let's be a concubine." Yuan Pandi thought that since she had lost her virginity, it would be fine for her to be a concubine of the Duke of Huiguo's mansion. As long as she gave birth to a child, her position would be secure.

But Duke Huiguo said, "You have other uses."

Yuan Pandi widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Duke Huiguo in front of him, his heart filled with fear and despair.

She could never have imagined that this man was so shameless that he not only played her in his hands, but also planned to give her away. Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

However, Duke Huiguo paid no attention to her feelings. He coldly ordered his men to take her to a room, and forced her to change into gorgeous clothes and dress her up carefully.

He force-fed Yuan Pandi another black pill, then said with a ferocious smile: "This is poison. As long as you listen to me and do what I say, I will naturally give you the antidote. Otherwise... hehe!" After that, he turned and left the room.

Yuan Pandi was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her whole body weak, tears streaming down her face. At this moment, she was full of fear and confusion about the future, not knowing how to face everything that was coming.

She was brought into the palace by Duke Huiguo, and only after meeting Empress Dowager Lu did she learn that they were going to give her to the King of Nannan as a concubine.

Yuan Pandi's eyes lit up, hope was rekindled, and desire swelled in her heart: If I become the woman of King Nangan, I will at least be made a concubine. After I give birth to a son or a daughter, I will kill Qi Wan and take your place as queen, hahahaha...

Duke Huiguo also smiled and told Empress Dowager Lu about his plan: "Duke Huiguo has taken her. We should work hard in the next two days to make her pregnant with Duke Huiguo's child. Then Nan'an will most likely fall into our hands."

The inspiration for his calculations came from Empress Dowager Lü's ancestor Lü Buwei.

Lu Buwei presented beautiful women as gifts and was awarded the title. According to unofficial historical records, the emperor was his offspring.

Even Empress Dowager Lu had to say, "What a good plan!"

She said generously: "Cousin, please work hard to bring the person back." She also gave a bottle of good medicine to Duke Huiguo.

"Hahaha." Duke Hui laughed loudly, his laughter full of satisfaction. Then he took Yuan Pandi away from here and returned to the Duke's Mansion to work hard in the fields and sow seeds.

At this point, Duke Huiguo's desire grew stronger, and he had a bold idea in his mind, "Duke Benguo can also use this trick on the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother can give birth to my child, then I will find a way to kill those two little bastards and replace them with my son as the emperor. In that case..."

Thinking of this, Duke Huiguo couldn't help but reveal a proud look, muttering to himself: "Using women to achieve the goal is not only easier, but also allows you to enjoy the ultimate pleasure."

There is no wall that is completely airtight in this world. The people in the Qi Mansion soon learned that Duke Huiguo had kept the second Miss Yuan in his mansion and forcibly occupied her.

Doctor Yuan's second daughter went missing, and the Yuan family was secretly looking for her. After one night, the daughter still hadn't returned, and the Yuan family was in despair.

It goes without saying what it means when a little girl goes missing for one night.

Doctor Yuan had no choice but to ask for help from the Qi Mansion, "The second girl secretly went out to watch the King of Nan'an deliver the betrothal gifts, and she didn't return home after a night."

Qi Lu immediately sent guards to look for the person in the brothels in the capital.

With the intervention of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, a brothel owner told the truth for fear of getting into trouble, "Yesterday a young woman was sent here by a maid to be sold. The woman cried and refused to be sold, saying that she was the daughter of Imperial Doctor Yuan and that the Queen of the Southern Kingdom was her cousin."

"We didn't dare to buy her. She was taken away by Duke Huiguo's guards."

The guard returned home and reported what he had found out.

Doctor Yuan cried angrily, "Oh my God, what should we do? She is engaged."

Qi Lu also asked: "What should we do now?" If they went to the house openly to ask for her, Miss Yuan Er would only be a concubine.

Qi Wan suggested, "I'll send someone to check the situation to see if Miss Yuan Er is in the Duke's Mansion."

She sent Wu Yi to check it out. Until the check, no one knew the truth. The result shocked everyone.

Wu Yi came back angrily and said, "Miss Yuan and that dog of Duke Huiguo always eat, drink, defecate and urinate in bed. I listened to them. Dog Li wanted Miss Yuan to get pregnant with his child, and then Empress Dowager Lu would give Miss Yuan to the King of Nan'an as a concubine, and the child she gave birth to would be planted..."

She was so angry that she couldn't continue speaking and wanted to kill Duke Huiguo and Miss Yuan Er immediately.

Qi Wan was furious after hearing this, "He dared to plot against my brother Qin, I will make him pay."

After hearing this, Doctor Yuan knelt down in front of Qi Lu and burst into tears. "Brother, it was my fault for not managing the household properly. This shameful thing happened, bringing shame to the Yuan Mansion and the people there. I would rather kill her than let her harm anyone else."

He was determined to kill his daughter.

The law stipulates: A father who kills his son is not guilty!

When Qi Wan saw the sad look on Doctor Yuan's face, he thought of his previous life when he was imprisoned in the palace and it was Doctor Yuan who came to deliver medicine, letters and money despite the danger.

Qi Wan will always remember this timely help.

She took a deep breath and decided to take care of the matter: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me and I will ensure that the reputation of the Yuan Mansion will not be affected."

Doctor Yuan looked at Qi Wan with some doubt, wondering in his heart, can this little girl really handle such a difficult situation?

Qi Lu was full of confidence in Qi Wan. He gently comforted Doctor Yuan and said, "Don't worry, A Wan will definitely find a way to solve this problem."

Qi Wan pulled Wu Yi aside and began to explain the plan to her in a low voice.

Wu Yi frowned, pouted, his eyes flashing with anger, and muttered, "I really want to kill that old bastard, Duke Huiguo."

Qi Wan quickly stopped her and patiently explained: "Killing him is too easy, and it would be a bargain for him. We want him to lose everything before dying. This is the greatest punishment for him."

Qi Wan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a calculating smile, and continued: "Moreover, we must give them a taste of their own medicine!"
