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

"Sisters, what happened to Concubine Qi this time is truly horrible!" Chun'er sat on the bed, horror still in her eyes. "How could she come up with such a vicious plan?"

"Chun'er, Concubine Qi is blinded by jealousy and will do anything to win favor." Zhen Huan sighed helplessly, "We must be more careful in the future. I'm afraid this situation will not end here."

"Yes, this time we were able to find out that it was Concubine Qi, but who knows what traps are waiting for us next time!" Mei Zhuang frowned, her face full of worry.

"No matter what, we can't let these conspiracies succeed and we can't let the sisters in the harem be harmed again." An Lingrong's eyes were firm and she clenched her fists.

"Lingrong is right. We have to think of a way. We can't always be so passive." Zhen Huan nodded in agreement.

"Sister, we can communicate more with other ladies to see if we can find anything unusual. Maybe someone is being used without knowing it." Mei Zhuang suggested.

"This is a good idea. We can't let those with ill intentions take advantage of the opportunity and drag other innocent ladies into trouble." Zhen Huan said.

So, Zhen Huan and others began to walk around the harem and chat with the ladies.

That day, they came to the palace of a young lady they were not very familiar with.

"Greetings, sisters." The young lady bowed, looking a little nervous.

"Sister, no need to be polite. We just came to see you. There has been unrest in the palace recently. Are you okay, sister?" Zhen Huan asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. I... I'm fine." The young lady replied, but her eyes were evasive.

"Sister, are you worried about something? If you have any difficulties, you can talk to us and we may be able to help you." An Lingrong noticed the young lady's abnormality and said softly.

"I...I'm really fine, sisters." The young lady quickly shook her head.

"Sister, you don't have to be afraid. We just want to keep the harem peaceful. If anyone threatens you, you can tell us." Mei Zhuang also said.

The young lady hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when suddenly a palace maid hurried in.

"My lady, something bad has happened! Your cat is missing!" the maid said anxiously.

"What? Mimi is missing? Go find her quickly!" The young lady was panicked and immediately stood up to look for the cat with the palace maid.

"There must be something wrong with this young lady. She seems to have something to hide." Chun'er said in a low voice.

"Well, we have to figure it out. Maybe her cat's disappearance is not a coincidence." Zhen Huan frowned.

They helped to look for the cat and heard its meowing in a remote corner of the garden.

"Mimi, you are here!" The little master ran over and saw a letter next to the cat.

"What is this?" The young lady picked up the letter, opened it, and her face changed drastically.

"Sister, what's written in the letter?" Zhen Huan asked.

"Sister, this... this is a letter threatening me, saying that if I get close to you, disaster will befall me." The young lady said tremblingly.

"Another threat! These people are so hateful!" Chun'er said angrily.

"Sister, don't be afraid, we will protect you. Do you know who sent this letter?" Zhen Huan comforted the young lady.

"I don't know. The letter was right next to Mimi. I really don't know." The little girl said crying.

"It seems that our actions have been noticed, and they want to stop us from joining forces with other young ladies." An Lingrong analyzed.

"No matter who it is, we can't retreat. Sister, don't worry, we are here and will not let you get hurt." Mei Zhuang said.

After returning to their residence, Zhen Huan and others gathered together to discuss.

"Sister, this incident must be related to the previous conspiracies. Maybe it was done by the remnants of Concubine Qi or other people who want to harm us." An Lingrong said.

"It's possible. We need to strengthen our precautions. And we must find out the mastermind behind this as soon as possible. We can't let them continue to threaten the ladies." Zhen Huan said.

"We can start with the letter and see if we can find any clues. For example, handwriting, paper, etc." Mei Zhuang suggested.

"Yes, let's take a look now." An Lingrong nodded.

They studied the letter carefully and found that the paper was made of a very special material that was only used in the imperial study.

"Is this paper from the Imperial Study? Could it be related to someone around the Emperor?" Zhen Huan said in surprise.

"No way? Could it be that someone stole paper from the imperial study to write this letter?" Chun'er asked in confusion.

"It's possible. We have to go to the imperial study and ask around." Mei Zhuang said.

They came to the imperial study and asked the eunuchs and palace maids.

"Did you see anyone taking papers from the imperial study out?" Zhen Huan asked.

"My lady, we didn't notice. There were too many people coming in and out of the imperial study." A young eunuch replied.

"Has there been any suspicious people wandering around the imperial study recently?" An Lingrong asked.

"Suspicious person? My lady, there was a little palace maid hanging around here a few days ago, but we didn't pay much attention to her." said a palace maid.

"Little palace maid? What does she look like?" Mei Zhuang asked hurriedly.

"She was wearing light blue clothes, was thin and small, and looked very smart," the maid replied.

"Let's look for this little maid in the palace." Zhen Huan said.

After some searching, he finally found the little palace maid in a corner.

"Are you the palace maid who lingered near the imperial study?" Zhen Huan asked.

"My lady, I...I didn't do anything." The little palace maid turned pale with fright.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, we won't make things difficult for you. What did you do with the paper from the imperial study?" An Lingrong said.

"Yes... a nanny asked me to take it. She said it was just a letter and it was no big deal." The little palace maid replied.

"Mammy? Which mammy?" Mei Zhuang asked.

"I... I don't know. She didn't tell me. She just gave me silver and asked me to get paper." said the little palace maid.

"What does the nanny look like?" Zhen Huan asked.

"She was wearing dark clothes and had a mole on her face, and she looked very fierce," the little palace maid described.

"Let's look for this nanny in the palace," Zhen Huan said.

After searching for a long time, I finally found the nun in an abandoned palace. She was talking to a mysterious man.

"You did a great job. This time, you must put Zhen Huan and the others in a desperate situation." said the mysterious man.

"Don't worry, they won't have an easy time with me here." The nanny smiled proudly.

"What are you doing?" Zhen Huan and others came out.

Mammy and the mysterious man panicked.

"Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on us!" Mammy shouted.

"Hmph! We all know about your conspiracy, you can't escape!" Zhen Huan said angrily.

"Run!" The mysterious man pulled the nanny and ran.

"Chase!" Mei Zhuang shouted.

Everyone gave chase and started a chase in the palace. Nanny and the mysterious man were familiar with the paths in the palace and ran very fast, but Zhen Huan and others were in hot pursuit.

Suddenly, the mysterious man pushed the nanny towards Zhen Huan and others, and took the opportunity to escape.

"Don't come over here!" the nanny threatened, holding a knife.

"Mammy, don't do anything stupid. Put down the knife and we can give you a lighter sentence." Zhen Huan said.

"Hmph! Give me a lighter sentence? You won't let me go. I can't let you catch me." The nanny waved the knife.

"Mammy, why do you help those people do bad things? You will hurt many people." An Lingrong advised.

"I was forced to do it. I had no choice." A hint of hesitation flashed in the nanny's eyes.

Just then, the guards rushed over and subdued the nanny.

"Take her away for interrogation and make sure to find out the identity of the mysterious man." Zhen Huan said.

After interrogation, the nanny finally told the truth. It turned out that a concubine who had been neglected by the emperor for a long time was unwilling to accept this and wanted to regain the emperor's favor by creating chaos in the harem and framing Zhen Huan and others.

"These people are really unscrupulous in their pursuit of favor!" Chun'er said angrily.

"We have to tell the Queen about this and let her handle it," Zhen Huan said.

They came to the queen's palace and told her what had happened.

"Is this really true? This concubine is so bold and presumptuous! I will never let her off easily!" The queen was furious.

The queen ordered that the concubine be severely punished, and the harem regained a brief peace.

"Sisters, this was really thrilling, but we got through it again." Chun'er said with a smile.

"Yes, Chun'er, but we can't relax. The struggle in the harem is like the waves, one after another." Zhen Huan said with emotion.

"We must continue to unite, protect our harem, and protect our sisters." An Lingrong said.

"Yes, no matter how many difficulties there are, we must face them together." Mei Zhuang nodded.

In this harem, Zhen Huan and others shuttle between conspiracies and dangers. Their friendship is like a bright light in the dark night, illuminating each other's way forward and bringing a touch of warmth and hope to this cold harem.
