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

Tensions within the palace remain tense. The Empress deepens her investigation into the rumors, while Zhen Huan and An Lingrong keep a close eye on any disturbances within the harem. However, a hilarious incident between Ulanara Lingxi and Fu Heng temporarily dispels the tense atmosphere, like a gentle breeze.

In a corner of the Imperial Garden, Lingxi and Fuheng were arguing over a newly blossomed exotic flower. Lingxi pranced around, "Fuheng, you see, I must have seen this flower first, so it belongs to me!" Fuheng calmly replied, "This flower grows in the palace and belongs to the Emperor. Neither you nor I can monopolize it." In the midst of their argument, they accidentally bumped into each other. In an instant, their lips touched, and an unexpected kiss ensued.

Lingxi widened her eyes, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed in horror: "Oh no! My mouth is poisoned! I'm going to die!" She shouted while covering her mouth in a panic, tears flashing in her eyes.

Fu Heng was bewildered by her sudden reaction and hurriedly asked, "Lingxi, what nonsense are you talking about? How could you be poisoned?"

Lingxi cried and said, "I heard from Aunt Rong that if a woman's mouth is kissed by a man, her mouth will rot and she may even die! Wuuwuwuwuwu..."

Fu Heng was stunned when he heard this, but then he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Lingxi, please stop making trouble. How can you believe such words?"

Seeing Fu Heng laughing, Lingxi felt even more aggrieved: "You're still laughing! I'm almost dying, you evil man!"

This news spread quickly, and when Zhen Huan and An Lingrong heard about it, they laughed so hard that they fell over.

Zhen Huan clutched her belly and laughed, "How could this little girl Lingxi be so naive and cute that she actually believed Rong Mama's nonsense?"

An Lingrong couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid the palace hasn't been this lively for a long time. Her noise has made everyone feel a little more relaxed."

When the Queen learned about this, she also summoned Lingxi. Lingxi ran to the Queen with a sad face and said, "Aunt, I'm poisoned. Is there no hope for me?"

The Queen had a stern face at first, but seeing Lingxi's expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Lingxi, don't cry anymore, Rong Mama is talking nonsense."

At this time, Rong Mama was also summoned. The Queen feigned anger and asked, "Rong Mama, why did you tell Lingxi such nonsense that kissing will rot your mouth?"

Rong Ma Ma knelt down in fear and said, "Empress, I have heard from some old maids in the front palace that women must remain chaste and will be punished by heaven if they have physical contact with men. I am afraid that Miss Lingxi is ignorant, so..."

The Queen was both angry and amused when she heard this: "You foolish person, how can you believe everything those old maids say? Lingxi is still young, don't scare her with these words anymore."

Rong Mama nodded quickly: "Yes, Queen, I know I was wrong."

Lingxi stopped crying after hearing what the queen said, but she still touched her mouth with some worry: "Aunt, will you really be okay?"

The queen smiled and took her hand: "Of course not, you, don't be so reckless in the future, and don't believe everything."

Amidst the laughter, the Empress hadn't forgotten the rumors. She addressed Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, "My two Imperial Concubines, although the incident with Lingxi has made everyone feel a little relieved, we must not neglect the rumors. I've uncovered some clues that seem to be related to one of the concubines."

Zhen Huan suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Queen, now that we have a clue, we must investigate it as soon as possible to avoid further disturbances in the harem."

An Lingrong also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the peace of the harem is the most important thing. We can't let that person in the dark succeed."

Fu Heng listened from the side and said, "Your Majesty, if you need any help from me, please let me know."

The Queen looked at everyone and said with relief, "With your help, I believe we can get to the bottom of this matter."

Afterwards, the Queen led the others to conduct a further investigation. They secretly observed the concubine's every move and discovered that she did have frequent correspondence with people outside the palace.

The Queen made a prompt decision: "Go, intercept those letters. I want to see what she is planning."

Zhen Huan said worriedly, "Queen, you must be careful with this move and not alert the enemy."

An Lingrong arranged for her trusted maid to carry out the task: "Don't worry, Huan'er, my people always do things in a safe and reliable manner."

While waiting for news, Lingxi regained her usual liveliness. She pulled Fu Heng to her side and insisted that he teach her swordsmanship, saying that she wanted to learn self-defense so that she wouldn't be bullied again.

Fu Heng picked up the sword helplessly: "You little girl, there is really nothing I can do to you, just watch carefully."

Lingxi was laughing and making faces from time to time, making Fu Heng laugh and cry.

Finally, the maid brought the intercepted letter to the Queen. When the Queen opened it, her expression darkened. "Hmph! It's indeed her who's behind this, attempting to disrupt the harem and collude with those outside the palace for personal gain."

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong took a closer look and couldn't help but frown.

Zhen Huan said, "Queen, this kind of behavior must not be tolerated. It must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

An Lingrong said, "Whether there are other people involved behind this requires further investigation."

The Queen nodded and said, "You two are quite right. I will handle the matter properly and will not allow this harem conspiracy to succeed."

Within this palace, Lingxi's innocent farce parallels the Empress's pursuit of a rumored case. Lingxi's presence brings moments of laughter and lightheartedness to this calculating court, while the Empress's revelation of the conspiracy underscores the cruelty and severity of the harem's power struggle. What punishment will the concubine receive? Is there a greater conspiracy behind this? What further mishaps will Lingxi stir up within the palace? All remain unsolved mysteries, waiting to be played out on the stage of this palace, forcing everyone to wait and see how this harem story unfolds.
