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

Queen Mother Lu sat quietly in the palace, staring ahead, with a stern face, thinking about something.

At this time, Huang Yi, the concubine, stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Empress Dowager Lu, and began to tell her about his plan.

"Empress Dowager, I have a plan that can help you solve a big problem." Huang Yi said softly.

Queen Mother Lu raised her head slightly and looked at the handsome man in front of her whom she loved deeply in bed, her heart full of anticipation.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Queen Mother Lu's tone was calm, but her eyes were sparkling.

Huang Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Queen Mother, we can send experts to assassinate King Nan'an. In this way, if it succeeds, you will get rid of a huge threat; if it fails, it will only be the sacrifice of a few experts, which will not be a big loss for you."

After listening to Huang Yi's words, Empress Dowager Lu's eyes flashed with excitement. She immediately realized that this was indeed an excellent idea. If the King of Nan'an could be successfully assassinated, it would not only eliminate a potential enemy, but also add stability to her own regime. And even if it failed, it would not have much impact on her.

So, Empress Dowager Lu nodded without hesitation to show her agreement.

"Okay! Let's act according to your plan. You prepare to select people, and before you take them to assassinate, make sure the operation remains confidential." Queen Mother Lu ordered.

"Yes, your majesty." Huang Yi was surprised and delighted.

Empress Dowager Lu also promised, "As long as the matter is successful, I will appoint you as deputy commander."

"As you wish, Madam." Huang Yi knelt at the feet of Empress Dowager Lu and licked his lips with his long tongue, as if he wanted to lick the empress dowager's toes immediately to make her happy and in exchange for the benefits he wanted.

Empress Dowager Lu's mind was not just to kill King Nan'an. She had already set her eyes on the generous dowry of Queen Nan'an.

According to the reports of her subordinates, most of the dowries were gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, porcelain, and precious medicinal materials. When Empress Dowager Lu learned that Queen Nan'an was richer than herself, she was already jealous and wanted to take all the wealth for herself.

Queen Mother Lu thought to herself, "Humph, Qi actually dared to be so ostentatious and take so much treasure to Nan'an. This dowry should have belonged to me, but now it has become her capital for showing off. I must let her know who is the most supreme woman in the world!"

Empress Dowager Lu decided to take action. On the one hand, she sent people to carry out the assassination mission, and on the other hand, she secretly planned how to seize the dowry of Queen Nan'an. She believed that as long as the time was right, she would be able to get the wealth as she wished.

Empress Dowager Lu followed the plans of Duke Huiguo and Huang Yi, and she also arranged several things on her own to target the Nannan Kingdom.

Among them, she made two arrangements: one was to choose the youngest daughter of the Lu family as the queen for the six-year-old emperor, and to hold a wedding as soon as possible, marry the little Queen Lu into the palace, and she would personally train her, and consummate the marriage after the queen came of age.

Secondly, the youngest daughter of Duke Huiguo was chosen as the Crown Princess for the three-year-old Crown Prince. The wedding was also to be held as soon as possible. The Crown Princess would be taught by Empress Dowager Lu, and the marriage would be consummated when she grew up.

She was secretly proud of herself, thinking that her plan was flawless and perfect.

She planned to marry into a family so that she could both bring honor to her parents' family and gain strong support and help from them.

At this moment, the Ministry of Imperial Clan Affairs was busy preparing the six-ritual ceremony for the young queen and the young crown princess, and sending generous betrothal gifts to their respective homes.

The dates for two grand weddings have also been confirmed, one on March 8th and the other on May 8th.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, as if foreshadowing a beautiful and happy future. However, what kind of mystery is hidden behind this seemingly perfect arrangement?

Wang Qin and Qi Wan were playing chess in the valley. They only left three or five people to serve them, and the others were guarding around them.

After Wu Yi heard the news, she stepped forward to change the hot tea for the two hosts. When the hosts were drinking the tea, she spoke: "I got two pieces of news today. One is that there is a civil strife in Nan'an. The former Crown Princess colluded with the Minister of War to abolish the king and establish a new king. The second is that Queen Mother Lu sent Huang Yi with a team of assassins to assassinate." After she finished speaking, she saluted and stood aside.

Qi Wan held a cup of hot tea in her hand, frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "Nan'an is in civil strife now. What should we do? After all, we are hundreds of miles away!" Her eyes revealed deep concern and uneasiness.

Wang Qin raised his eyebrows, looked at Qi Wan, and decided to tell her the truth. He whispered, "In fact, I hope that their internal strife will be more serious, so that they can fall into chaos, and the army I lead can take this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop." After saying this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of confidence and determination.

That was the Nangan Kingdom, which had a complex system of relations with other countries for more than 200 years. How could it be so easy for a person from another family to sit on the throne?

The replacement of a dynasty with a new one will inevitably lead to bloodshed.

After hearing this, Qi Wan suddenly realized what was going on and a smile immediately broke out on her face. She smiled and said, "It turns out that all this was carefully planned by Brother Qin. I feel much more relieved now." Her worries instantly dissipated, replaced by admiration for Wang Qin's wisdom and strategy.

Wang Qin smiled and nodded, with a gleam of relief in his eyes.

He said with emotion: "With you sharing my burden, the bad things that were originally worrying seem to be less scary." The two smiled at each other, and their trust and tacit understanding between each other deepened.

At this moment, the room was filled with a warm atmosphere, as if all the worries were thrown away. They knew that no matter what challenges were waiting ahead, as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome difficulties and usher in a bright future.

After placing the teacups, the couple continued playing chess, occasionally chatting about things related to the Pu Dynasty.

Qi Wan asked curiously, "Brother Qin, what do you think the future of Pu Chao will be like?"

"Very bad." Wang Qin shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not optimistic.

"The biggest fear of a dynasty is that the emperor is too young and the queen mother is too young."

He patiently explained to Qi Wan: "Although Empress Dowager Lu holds power, she does not know how to use it and her strategies. She is bent on controlling the government, which will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction among the officials. In addition, she now has so many concubines, which has led to the corruption of the palace and the royal family is disgusted with her."

"In order to consolidate her position, she actually made her youngest son the crown prince."

"In order to improve her status as an out-of-law, she also appointed two daughters from her own family, one as the empress and the other as the crown princess."

"So, her current situation is very dangerous. I just don't know what will eventually lead to disaster."

Qi Wan had learned a lot. She said thoughtfully, "If she had used Prime Minister Pei and the Queen had married the Grand Princess's granddaughter, things would probably be very different."

Wang Qin looked at Qi Wan in front of him, his eyes full of admiration and smiles. He said softly: "Ah Wan is so smart and sharp. In time, she will definitely become an outstanding political strategist."

Qi Wan smiled slightly and shook her head gently. Her beautiful eyes stared at Wang Qin and she said gently and firmly: "No, I don't want to be a power-seeker. I just want to be your wife." After that, she turned her head slightly, with a happy smile on her face.

At that moment, her beauty and affection were intertwined, as if a beautiful painting was presented in front of Wang Qin.

Wang Qin's heart was deeply touched. A warm current surged into his heart, making his mood surge like the vast ocean.

His eyes became more and more passionate, and his love was like a burning flame, becoming stronger and deeper.
