The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of An Lingrong: Counterattack to Become the Queen Mother

An Lingrong sat beside Zhen Huan's bed, holding her hand tightly, her eyes full of concern: "Sister, don't worry, the imperial physician said that as long as you rest well, you will be fine."

Zhen Huan smiled bitterly: "Lingrong, I am always uneasy. In this harem, the situation is changing rapidly. I am afraid..."

An Lingrong quickly interrupted her: "Sister, don't let your imagination run wild! I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you and the fetus in your belly!" Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if she was declaring her oath of protection to the harem.

Zhen Huan nodded gently, a touch of emotion in her eyes: "Lingrong, I'm lucky to have you."

At this moment, the personal maid Huanbi came in with a medicine bowl and said softly, "My lady, it's time to take the medicine." An Lingrong hurriedly stood up, took the medicine bowl, blew on it gently, and brought it to Zhen Huan's lips: "Sister, drink the medicine, and you will get better faster."

Zhen Huan frowned, but still drank it slowly. After finishing the medicine, she looked at An Lingrong and asked, "Lingrong, do you think my loss of appetite these past few days is due to someone's hidden influence?"

An Lingrong pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Sister, we can't be sure yet. But we have to be on guard. I've already instructed the kitchen to be extra careful and to inspect all ingredients thoroughly."

Zhen Huan sighed, "When will this life in the palace end?"

An Lingrong patted her hand gently and said, "Sister, don't be afraid. Once you give birth to a prince and your position is secure, life will be easier."

A few days later, Zhen Huan's health gradually improved. An Lingrong accompanied her for a walk in the Imperial Garden. The garden was full of colorful flowers, but it did not completely soothe the mood of either of them.

"Lingrong, look at the flowers blooming and falling, but the fighting in the palace never stops." Zhen Huan looked at the flowers, thoughtfully.

"Sister, precisely because of this, we must be stronger." An Lingrong looked up at Zhen Huan, her eyes full of encouragement.

Suddenly, Concubine Xia came over from a distance. Seeing Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, a trace of disdain appeared on her face: "Oh, isn't this Concubine Wan and Concubine An? Why are you sighing in this imperial garden? What's bothering you?"

An Lingrong stepped forward, standing in front of Zhen Huan, and bowed slightly: "Xia Changzai is fine. Sister is just feeling a little unwell and came out for some fresh air. She is not worried about anything. Xia Changzai, please do not worry about her."

Concubine Xia snorted coldly, "Hmph! I think you've fallen out of favor in this palace, so you're just putting on an act!"

Zhen Huan was about to speak when An Lingrong stopped her and said to Concubine Xia with a smile, "Concubine Xia, you're joking. My sister is deeply favored by the Emperor, and this is something everyone knows. Concubine Xia, on the other hand, seems a little lonely these days."

Xia Changzai's expression changed: "You! An Changzai, don't be so arrogant!"

An Lingrong still had a smile on her face: "Lingrong dare not, I just advise Concubine Xia not to speculate about others casually, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Xia Changzai glared at them and walked away.

Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Xia's receding figure and whispered, "Lingrong, why don't you argue with her?"

An Lingrong turned to look at Zhen Huan and said, "Sister, arguing with her will only cause trouble. Our priority right now is protecting your unborn child. Don't let these trivial matters distract you."

Zhen Huan felt warm in her heart: "Lingrong, you are always so smart and calm."

However, before one problem was solved, another arose. Yu Da Ying heard from somewhere that Zhen Huan was ill, so she spread rumors in the palace, saying that Zhen Huan had offended the gods.

When the news reached Zhen Huan, she turned pale with anger: "How could Yu Da Ying be so vicious!"

An Lingrong consoled her, "Sister, rumors stop at the wise. We don't need to pay attention to them. When the truth comes out, she will be despised by everyone."

But Zhen Huan shook her head: "Lingrong, you don't understand. In this harem, rumors can kill people without being noticed."

An Lingrong pondered for a moment, a look of determination flashing in her eyes. "Sister, I will not let this rumor spread any further. I will find a way to make Yu Yingying shut up."

An Lingrong begins to secretly investigate Yu Da Ying and discovers that she has contacts with people outside the palace and seems to be plotting a larger conspiracy. While collecting evidence, she arranges for people to protect Zhen Huan to prevent Yu Da Ying from secretly taking action.

Throughout this process, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan's friendship deepens, and they rely on each other to face the numerous crises in the harem together. An Lingrong knows that this is just the beginning, and greater challenges lie ahead, but as long as they work together, they will surely carve out their own path in the harem and rewrite the trajectory of their destiny.
