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

An Lingrong sat in front of the window with a frown on her face, and said to Zhen Huan, "Sister, I have found out that Yu Da Ying is colluding with a mysterious organization outside the palace. They seem to be planning something bad to your sister, and it is very likely that they will do something when you give birth!" Her eyes were full of worry, and her fingers tapped the table unconsciously.

Zhen Huan was shocked and put her hand on her abdomen. Her eyes became firm: "Lingrong, we must not let them succeed! Although I am pregnant, I am not someone who can be bullied." She straightened her back slightly, although her figure was a little clumsy.

An Lingrong nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. I have arranged capable people throughout your palace to guard you day and night. However, Yu Yingying is becoming more and more arrogant. We must find a way to control her first."

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "Since she loves to spread rumors and stir up trouble, we might as well give her a taste of her own medicine. You can secretly send people to spread rumors in the palace about her misconduct and collusion with outsiders to commit evil, so that she can be busy with her own affairs first."

An Lingrong's eyes lit up: "Sister, this is a brilliant idea! I'll arrange it right away."

A few days later, rumors began to spread throughout the palace, alleging that Yu promised to secretly deal with bandits outside the palace and even plotted to murder the heir to the throne. Upon hearing this, Yu promised to be furious and ran to Zhen Huan's palace to make a scene: "Concubine Wan, are you behind this? You're slandering my reputation!"

Zhen Huan leaned on the couch, her expression calm, and said coldly: "I promise you, please stop slandering me! You've done something shameful, are you afraid of what others say?"

Yu agreed and pointed at Zhen Huan, his fingers trembling. "You...don't be so complacent! Wait until I find evidence, and I'll make you pay!"

An Lingrong emerged from the inner chamber and whispered, "I promise you, but you should take care of yourself first. Everyone in this palace has sharp eyes. How long do you think your scheme can succeed?"

Yu Da Ying saw An Lingrong and was furious: "An Changzai, you are no good either! The two of you are in cahoots!"

An Lingrong smiled faintly: "I agree. If you have nothing to hide, why are you so angry?"

At this moment, the eunuch beside the emperor came forward to announce the decree: "The emperor has ordered that I agree to see him immediately!"

Yu Da Ying was a little panicked, but still pretended to be calm and followed the eunuch.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other and silently prayed in their hearts that things would develop in a direction that was favorable to them.

Yu promised to come before the emperor, who looked at her gloomily: "Yu promised, I heard that you acted recklessly in the palace and colluded with people outside the palace. Is this true?"

Yu agreed and knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! Someone is deliberately framing me!"

The emperor snorted coldly, "How dare you quibble! I have received a lot of evidence. Tell me, why did you want to murder Concubine Wan?"

Yu Da Ying turned pale, knowing that the truth had been revealed, but she still refused to admit it: "Your Majesty, I did not do it! It was Zhen Huan who deliberately framed me, hoping to gain the favor of Your Majesty alone!"

The emperor shouted angrily, "Shut up! I'm extremely disappointed in you! Come, banish Yu Dan to the cold palace and await your punishment!"

When Yu Cheng was dragged away, he was still shouting loudly about his grievances.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news, but they knew that this was only a temporary solution to the threat, and the danger in the harem was still everywhere.

As Zhen Huan's due date approaches, the atmosphere in the palace becomes increasingly tense. Concubines from various palaces come to visit her, but in reality they are secretly spying on her.

That day, when An Lingrong was checking on the various preparations for the birth in Zhen Huan's palace, Chun'er came running over with a worried look on her face: "Sisters, I heard someone is secretly preparing something that will be detrimental to your delivery. What should we do?"

Zhen Huan's heart tightened: "Chun'er, where did you hear this?"

Chun Er said, "I overheard a few palace maids whispering about adding ingredients to the hot water used for childbirth and placing ominous objects around the delivery room."

An Lingrong's expression changed. "This is too cruel! We must strengthen our defenses."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Chun'er, you should also be careful and don't get involved in this dispute."

Chun Er said firmly: "Sisters, I'm not afraid! I want to protect this little life with you!"

An Lingrong was moved and held Chun'er's hand: "Chun'er, your kindness makes us sisters very happy."

After intense preparations and precautions, Zhen Huan finally gave birth. Outside the delivery room, An Lingrong paced anxiously, glancing inside from time to time. The Emperor also paced nearby, his face filled with anticipation and worry.

The maids came in and out, carrying hot water and various supplies. Zhen Huan's cries of pain could be heard from the delivery room, and every cry pierced everyone's heart.

After several hours of labor, a loud cry of a baby was heard. The midwife came out with the child in her arms, her face beaming with joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a princess!"

The emperor took the child and a delighted smile appeared on his face: "My Princess Longyue!"

Zhen Huan lay exhausted on the delivery bed. Upon hearing the news of the child, a relieved smile appeared on her face. An Lingrong walked into the delivery room and held Zhen Huan's hand: "Sister, you have worked hard. The princess is very cute."

Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Lingrong, if it weren't for you, I don't know how I would have gotten through these difficulties."

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the birth of a new life, An Lingrong noticed a palace maid leaving the delivery room in a panic. A sense of foreboding welled up in her heart, knowing that the harem's struggles would not cease with the birth of a new life, and that a greater storm might be quietly approaching...
