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

Soon after Wang Qin learned of the internal unrest in Nannan, he received another piece of news: Empress Dowager Lu planned to send one of her most favored lovers, led by top assassins, to take his life.

Wang Qin smiled, "Then I will wait here and see what she can do." Before he asked anyone to deal with Queen Mother Lu, she came to him to cause trouble.

Seeing that Wang Qin was confident, Qi Wan thought about the many experts around him and temporarily gave up his plan to sneak into the palace and kill Empress Dowager Lu.

Wang Qin also instructed his subordinates: "Hurry up and buy some food, drinks and daily necessities. We need to stay here for a while longer."

After hearing the order, Feiyang immediately obeyed it. He quickly dispatched a team of people to the neighboring counties and towns to purchase a large amount of food and other supplies and bring them back to the camp.

King Nannan actually lives in Xishan and is not going back for the time being!

This shocking news reached Empress Dowager Lu's ears like a bombshell.

An anxious look appeared on her face, and she paced restlessly. "Why haven't they left yet..." Empress Dowager Lu murmured anxiously, revealing a hint of helplessness and anxiety in her voice.

"What can I do to get them to leave as soon as possible?" Her brows were furrowed, her thoughts racing, trying to find a solution to the problem.

At this time, Huang Yi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the people have been selected. Why don't I lead everyone to kill King Nangan tonight?" His tone was firm and resolute, and he seemed to be full of confidence in his plan.

Queen Mother Lu was determined to get someone to kill King Nangan, but when it came time to do it, she became hesitant.

Empress Dowager Lu's eyes wandered, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. King Nan'an now lived in the West Mountain, dozens of miles away from the capital. If she failed to kill him, what would the consequences be? She didn't dare to imagine.

She knew very well that the King of Nan'an was of noble status. If the assassination attempt failed, it would surely cause an uproar. Not only would it anger the Nan'an Kingdom, it would also likely bring her endless troubles. "Let's wait and see..."

"It would be best to wait until he is about to leave the border of the Pu Dynasty before killing him," said Empress Dowager Lu.

Empress Dowager Lu decided to put aside this risky idea for the time being. She needed more time to think and plan to ensure that everything was foolproof. After all, this was related to the stability of her eldest son's throne and her own safety.

In the slowly flowing afternoon of this day, the bright sunshine gently penetrates the layers of clouds, casting a warm and soft breath, slowly spreading in the air, soaking everything around.

Queen Mother Lu could not sense such an aura. She sat quietly in the extremely magnificent palace in a daze.

Her eyes were deep and blurred, and her thoughts were like tangled threads, intertwining and entangled in her mind, with so many threads that it was difficult to sort them out.

That sad expression seemed like the marks left quietly by the years on her face, deep and shallow, fully revealing the worry and anxiety in her heart.

She sighed softly, and each “Alas” seemed to be a cry from the deepest part of her heart, carrying with it endless helplessness and melancholy.

"Alas, there is a mountain pressing down on my head, and I don't know when it will be removed."

"Alas, where did all my gold, silver and jewelry go?"

"Oh, how can I get more gold, silver and jewelry?" she murmured to herself.

She was worried and started coughing again.

The palace maid hurriedly went to invite Doctor Yuan, "The queen has started coughing again."

Imperial Doctor Yuan came hurriedly, carrying a medicine box, followed by the palace maids.

He bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Highness, I know that you cough when you are anxious, so I have researched a prescription and made pills. You take one pill each time. Do you want to take the pills or the decocted Chinese medicine?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." The Queen Mother coughed violently again until she couldn't breathe.

"Take the pill quickly." The Queen Mother managed to say something.

Doctor Yuan took out a five-inch-high porcelain vase with chrysanthemums painted on it and handed it over with both hands.

A palace servant took it, poured out one and tried it first.

After a while, she didn't feel any discomfort, so the palace maid put a pill into the empress dowager's mouth and fed her some water.

The Queen Mother felt her throat cool and she stopped coughing. She praised, "Doctor Yuan is indeed the best doctor in the world. His medicine can cure all diseases!"

"Thank you for your affirmation, Your Majesty." Doctor Yuan bent over, saluted respectfully, and then walked out.

A messenger came hurriedly, holding an urgent letter in his hand. "Madam, there is an urgent letter from 500 miles away."

Empress Dowager Lu took the letter eagerly, her eyes fixed on the Nangan Kingdom emblem on the envelope.

When she finished reading the letter, her face showed irrepressible joy and excitement.

It turned out that the letter was from the former Crown Princess of Nan'an. The content of the letter made Empress Dowager Lu feel very happy: "There is civil unrest in Nan'an, and some people do not want a foreigner to be king. While the King of Nan'an is away from the court, we are preparing to encircle and suppress those who support him. We hope to join forces with your country to get rid of Wang Qin and realize our cooperation plan."

There was a smug light flashing in Empress Dowager Lu's eyes, and she laughed excitedly: "This is the best news in the world!" She knew very well that this was a great opportunity to get rid of Wang Qin in one fell swoop and consolidate her own position at the same time.

She couldn't wait to seize this opportunity, so she immediately summoned Huang Yi to discuss it.

Huang Yi was summoned and hurried over. As soon as he entered the hall, he began to undress, "My Lady, I will go take a bath first."

"Wait." Empress Dowager Lu shook her hand to stop him.

She said excitedly: "Huang Yi, take your men to kill King Nan'an. I will be waiting on the bed to celebrate your success."

After hearing this, Huang Yi nodded confidently and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely return with a great victory." He was fully aware of the importance of this mission and decided to go all out.

Empress Dowager Lu looked at his departing back, her heart filled with anticipation and excitement.

Afterwards, Huang Yi left the palace and quickly assembled a group of assassins to form an elite team. It is said that in the martial arts world, these assassins are all skilled, ruthless, and can fight against hundreds of people alone.

Huang Yi said to those people: "After the success, you will be an official in the court, get a lot of money, and be rewarded with beautiful women!"

"Yes."

These people know some martial arts, they work as bodyguards, and occasionally do some petty theft and robbery, and they consider themselves to be heroes who fight against evil and protect the good.

They were facing unarmed civilians, and they could blow their heads off with one punch, or kick someone half to death with one kick. As a result, they were quite confident in their kung fu.

They all said to Huang Yi: "My iron leg skills are invincible in the world!"

"My Iron Palm is unrivaled in the world!"

"My lightness skill leaves no trace on water!"

……

They are a group of people with unique skills and abilities.

Huang Yi is best at archery. As for how far he can hit a target, he once said: "I can shoot an arrow through the heart from a hundred steps away."

His main attraction was his extremely handsome appearance. His suave and elegant appearance had charmed countless women since he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

When he was serving the Queen Mother in bed, he had an amazing skill, which was first-rate. Especially when the Queen Mother felt itchy, he would extend his tongue to gently tickle her. His gentle and delicate movements and considerate care made the Queen Mother feel extremely comfortable and satisfied.

Huang Yi was Empress Dowager Lu's favorite concubine, long surpassing Duke Huiguo.

Huang Yi was sent to lead people to assassinate the King of Nannan, but Empress Dowager Lu did not even release the letter to Duke Huiguo.

She was very excited. She went to take a hot spring bath and asked the palace maids to bring her some wine so that she could celebrate with Huang Yi in bed that night.

That night, there was a drizzle in the sky.

This drizzle in early spring brings a hint of coolness, especially for people in the valley, who can feel the bone-chilling coldness.

After dinner, Wang Qin and Qi Wan walked hand in hand in the corridor.

Wang Qin said softly, "Ah Wan, it's really cold today. Why don't we go to the warm room to play chess and chat?"

"Okay, Brother Qin." Qi Wan responded obediently, and then followed Wang Qin into the warm room inside.

After entering the room, they took off their shoes and socks, then sat cross-legged facing each other. Between them was a small coffee table with chess records neatly laid out on it.
