Rebirth and revenge + double skills of medicine and poison + mutual favor between two strong men + all the members' scheming + palace fighting. Highlighted reminder: Refuse to outwit the villain, all members have 800 scheming, peak wits! In the previous life, Shen Nanzhi, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, went blind and worked hard to save the scumbag by using forbidden magic. What happened instead was that the scumbag and Bai Lian's cousin secretly set up Chen Cang, causing all the loyal members of her Shen family to die tragically! After Nirvana and rebirth, she held the silver needle in her hand and returned to the day when she introduced poison to the scumbag to extend her life. Faced with the scumbag's expectations and his cousin's fake crying, Shen Nanzhi sneered and withdrew the needle: "I don't understand the poison. Since my cousin is so affectionate, why not let you bleed and cut the flesh?" In this life, she has torn away the disguise, mastered both medicine and poisoning, and raised dead people from their flesh and bones! Xiao Duo, the regent of Dayuan, was the living king of hell with all the power in the government and the public, but he was tortured by strange poisons. Shen Nanzhi threw out the antidote and said coldly and arrogantly, "I will save the life of the prince. How about lending me your knife to kill all the monsters?" Everyone thought that the daughter of the Duke was just a delicate canary in the palm of the living hell. It wasn't until the powerful officials from all walks of life appeared on stage, and the decisive moves emerged one after another, that everyone was horrified to discover that the seemingly weak Shen Nanzhi was actually the full-level female Zhuge who was in charge of the world of chess and had all the plans! She and he faced life and death back to back, met gods and killed gods, and manipulated the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty at the palm of their hands! When the bloody road is cut through, the world will be at peace. The iron-blooded regent who had made Jiuzhou frightened had lost all his venom and locked her tightly in his arms. His voice was low and crazy: "Zhizhi, the country has been decided. With these beautiful mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, when will you be willing to give me a place?!" - The decisive killing queen of medical poison × the mad regents who bowed to her, joined forces to slaughter all the evil spirits!

💥, This is the first historical book that I have read, and it brings back memories. The eighth prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, a fool? Did I wear it? Put it on a fool! His grandma's. Realizing that the situation was not good, Xiao Wanping immediately made a decision: continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid, otherwise he will definitely become the target of public criticism. With military power in hand, I own the world! Yes, you have to take control of the army! Whether it's to the east or the north! In short, we have to find a way to leave Xingyang City, the imperial capital, quietly. 💥, 🌈The original owner of the second book, Sixth Prince Che, is the sixth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. As the edict says: he has no cultivation in civil and military affairs, is cowardly in nature, has no merit in his body except good looks and big size, and is riddled with all kinds of bad habits. The original owner was invited to a banquet at the fifth prince's home and got very drunk. But it is absolutely impossible to say that he blasphemed the royal brother's fiancée Zhen! The original owner was both cowardly and naive, and would never dare to blaspheme Zhen even after drinking. Obviously, this is a game, a game that wants to kill the original owner! As a result, the organizer overestimated the weakling of the original owner... After drinking too much, he just lost it, allowing Zhou Che, who came from time to time, to take over his body.
