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

Although Zhen Huan and others successfully dealt with Su Wanqing, the gaze in the dark was like a haze that lingered for a long time.

That day, Lingxi went to Tang's house as usual to study incense making. As soon as she entered the house, Lingxi wrinkled her nose and said, "Sister Tang, why does the incense in your house look a little strange today?"

Tang agreed and sniffed it. "Yes, Princess Lingxi, maybe the ratio of the spices isn't right. Princess, you're here just in time. Let's think about it together."

As they were talking, An Lingrong arrived. Seeing them, An Lingrong smiled and asked, "What are you talking about? Why are you so excited?"

Lingxi quickly replied, "Empress Dowager An, the fragrance Sister Tang prepared today doesn't taste right, and we're trying to find out why."

An Lingrong walked closer and sniffed, "This fragrance... seems to have been tampered with. Tang Da Ying, have you ever left this room?"

Tang agreed with some trepidation: "Empress Dowager An, I will be out for a short while to get some new spices."

An Lingrong's eyes glared. "It seems someone took advantage of your absence to do something secretly."

Lingxi said angrily, "Who is so evil? Queen Mother An, we must find out!"

An Lingrong nodded slightly. "Of course I have to investigate. Someone in the harem dared to cause trouble under my nose. I will not let them off lightly."

At this time, Zhen Huan also heard about this and rushed over. "Huan'er, this incense has been tampered with. I'm afraid it's aimed at us," An Lingrong said.

Zhen Huan pondered for a moment: "Who could it be? Su Wanqing was just punished. Could she have accomplices?"

Fu Heng came to report: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager An, I have sent people to investigate and found that a young palace maid has been acting suspiciously recently and has been hanging around here frequently."

Zhen Huan said, "Bring that little maid here. I want to interrogate her myself."

The young maid was brought in and fell to her knees in fear. Zhen Huan sternly demanded, "Tell me! Who ordered you to tamper with the incense?"

The little palace maid trembled, "My Lord, it was... a lady, but she was wearing a mask. I don't know who she was. I only know that she gave me a lot of silver and asked me to do this."

An Lingrong pressed on, "Did she say anything else?"

The young palace maid replied, "She only said that she wanted to discredit the incense made by Tang Yingying and to create a rift between the Empress Dowager and the Buddha."

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other, both feeling that this matter was not simple.

Lingxi couldn't help but say, "This bad guy is so abominable! He wants to destroy your relationship."

Zhen Huan soothed her, "Don't worry, Lingxi. We won't let her succeed."

An Lingrong said to Fu Heng, "Fu Heng, expand your search area and find the person behind this."

Fu Heng took the order and left.

Tang agreed and said with some guilt: "Empress Dowager An, Lord Buddha, it's all my fault. If it weren't for my negligence, I wouldn't have given the bad guys such an opportunity."

Zhen Huan shook her head gently: "Tang promised, this is not your fault. Someone did it on purpose. Please don't blame yourself."

Elsewhere in the harem, the person behind the scenes was secretly furious that the young maid had been captured, mentally plotting her next move. "Hmph, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, don't get complacent. This is just the beginning," she muttered to herself.

This new conspiracy, like an undercurrent, gradually surges towards Zhen Huan and the others. What kind of turbulent waves will it unleash in this seemingly peaceful harem? Can they once again resolve the crisis and protect this hard-earned peace? Everything remains unknown, and only the tense atmosphere permeates more and more intensely within the palace walls.
