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

Empress Fucha lay on her sickbed in Kunning Palace, her face pale but still maintaining a trace of dignity. Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, Concubine Ling, Nara clan and others entered in order to pay their respects.

Fu Heng stepped forward first, his voice trembling slightly: "Sister, are you feeling better today?"

The Queen shook her head slightly: "Fu Heng, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to recover from this illness."

An Lingrong said softly, "Queen, don't be discouraged. Good fortune will always be with you. You will definitely survive this disaster."

Zhen Huan also echoed: "Yes, Queen, this harem still needs you to take charge of the overall situation, you must cheer up."

Nara stood respectfully aside and said, "Queen, please rest assured and recuperate. If you have any instructions, we will do our best to fulfill them."

After everyone left, An Lingrong privately told Zhen Huan, "Huan'er, I think Nara's heart isn't bad. It's all because of Madam Rong, who's constantly instigating things around her, that others have misunderstood her. Find a time to have a serious talk with her and tell her not to just listen to Madam Rong and to have her own opinions."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Lingrong, what you said makes sense. When the time is right, I will definitely discuss this with her in detail."

More than half a month later, mournful cries were heard from Kunning Palace, and Empress Fucha passed away.

The palace maids cried out: "Empress, how could you abandon us!"

The eunuchs also knelt on the ground with sad expressions on their faces.

The emperor hurried over and saw the queen's remains. He cried out in grief, "Queen, why did you abandon me?"

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong rushed over, and Zhen Huan sighed, "This harem is finally going to change."

An Lingrong replied, "Yes, the vacancy of the Queen's position may cause a disturbance."

Lingpin came forward, her expression calm: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Empress have passed away. I only wish to do my best to help with the funeral. I have absolutely no extravagant thoughts."

Nara arrived shortly after, bowing and saying, "Old Buddha, Empress Dowager, I will follow the palace rules and assist in handling the funeral arrangements to preserve the Empress's dignity."

Zhen Huan's expression was solemn: "Now that the Queen has passed away, all matters concerning the funeral must be solemn and dignified. There cannot be the slightest mistake."

An Lingrong responded: "Huan'er is absolutely right. From the coffin to the offerings, everything needs to be carefully prepared."

During the funeral preparations, Nara returned to the palace, and Rong Mama hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has passed away. This is a great opportunity for you. You must seize it."

Nara frowned, "Madam, stop talking nonsense! Is it appropriate to bring this up now?"

Rong Mama still refused to give up: "Your Majesty, this opportunity cannot be missed. You have been in this harem for many years, how can you give up so easily?"

Nara waved her hand in annoyance: "Mammy, please leave. I need to think for a moment."

After Madam Rong left, Nara fell into deep thought. The moments of her past interactions with Madam Rong came to her mind. She couldn't help but wonder whether she should really listen to Madam Rong's words and compete for the position of queen?

An Lingrong found Nara, took her hand and said earnestly, "Nara, think carefully about what Madam Rong has done over the years. Has it helped you or harmed you? You can't just blindly obey her. In this situation, you must make your own decision."

Nara hesitated, "Queen Dowager, I understand, but everyone is eyeing the position of Queen, and I am terrified."

An Lingrong comforted him, "Don't be afraid. As long as you walk upright and stand straight, your destiny will come naturally."

Zhen Huan discussed the matter of establishing a queen with the emperor.

Zhen Huan asked softly, "Your Majesty, the position of Empress is vacant. Nara has considerable experience in the palace and is considered prudent. Does Your Majesty have any considerations?"

The emperor frowned, "Although I have considered this, this matter is of great importance and requires extreme caution. After all, it involves the peace of the harem and the situation of the previous dynasty."

During the national mourning period, everyone in the harem wore plain clothes, and a sad atmosphere permeated the palaces.

One concubine whispered to her companion, "With the Queen gone, the harem will be in chaos. It's hard to predict who will become the new Queen."

His companion responded softly, "Just wait and see. I'm afraid a fight is inevitable."

Nara recited scriptures and prayed in the palace to express her grief for the queen, but she was still weighing the pros and cons in her heart.

Rong Mama came to persuade again: "Your Majesty, if you hesitate any longer, the position of Queen will fall to someone else."

Nara glared at me angrily and said, "Madam, I've already told you not to mention this matter again. If you continue to make noise, I will not let you off easily!"

Aunt Rong was so frightened that she dared not say a word.

As funeral preparations progress, ceremonial details and funeral supplies need to be carefully arranged.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong personally oversaw all matters.

Zhen Huan said, "This funeral procession needs to be checked again to ensure there are no mistakes."

An Lingrong responded, "Huan'er, shouldn't we ask the scholars to review the memorial as well?"

Zhen Huan nodded: "This is a very good idea."

Outside the palace, the Fucha family was immersed in grief, while closely following the developments in the palace.

An elder of the Fucha family was worried: "The rise and fall of the family is closely linked to the situation in the palace. I just hope that the new queen can treat the family well."

Another sighed, "I hope the emperor can make a wise decision and not let the harem fall into chaos."

Within this palace, the Empress's passing is like a boulder dropped into water, stirring undercurrents of conflict. Under the influence of An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, Nara struggles with the question of whether to claim the position of Empress. Zhen Huan and An Lingrong strive to maintain order within the harem, with every decision and every conversation shaping the fate of the characters. The story within these palace walls unfolds like a slowly unfolding scroll, fraught with uncertainty and uncertainty. Will the new Empress bring peace, or will the strife continue? This suspense remains, a question for the ages to judge.
