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

An Lingrong looked at the frightened Tang Da Ying and softly comforted him, "Tang Da Ying, you don't have to blame yourself. The palace is full of dangers. The enemies are insidious and cunning, and it's hard to guard against them."

Zhen Huan frowned slightly and said to everyone, "The most urgent task now is to find the mastermind behind this. Fu Heng has already gone to investigate, and we can't just sit there and wait."

Lingxi paced anxiously in the room: "Old Buddha, Empress Dowager An, could it be Su Wanqing's accomplice from before? Wasn't she just punished? Is there anyone who wants to avenge her?"

An Lingrong shook her head. "While this is possible, it's not certain. There are more people in the harem who are dissatisfied with us than just Su Wanqing."

Tang Da Ying suddenly remembered something and said, "Empress Dowager An, Lord Buddha, when I was getting the spices, I seemed to see a figure flash by, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now that I think about it, that figure seems somewhat familiar."

Zhen Huan hurriedly asked, "Can you see who it is?"

Tang agreed and thought hard for a moment: "I just think that figure is a concubine, but I can't remember who it is."

An Lingrong said, "No matter who it is, as long as there's a clue, we can't let it go. Lingxi, take Tang Yingda and go to that area again to check carefully and see if you can find any more clues."

Lingxi responded, "Okay, Queen Mother An. Sister Tang, let's go!"

The two came to the place where Tang agreed to get the spices and searched carefully. Lingxi saw a handkerchief on the ground with sharp eyes: "Sister Tang, look, there is a handkerchief here, could it be that person dropped it?"

Tang agreed and picked up the handkerchief, examining it carefully. "There's a small flower embroidered on it. I think I've seen some lady wearing it before, but I can't remember where."

Returning to Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, Tang agreed to present the handkerchief. Zhen Huan looked at the handkerchief, thought for a moment, and said to An Lingrong, "Huan'er, this handkerchief looks like it belonged to Concubine Qi."

An Lingrong's eyes turned cold. "Concubine Qi? She's usually not very noticeable. Could it be that she's really behind this?"

Zhen Huan said to Fu Heng, "Fu Heng, go and secretly investigate Concubine Qi and find out her recent whereabouts and who she associates with."

Fu Heng took the order and left.

In Qi Changzai's palace, she was sitting there restlessly. A trusted maidservant tried to comfort her, "Changzai, don't worry. That little maidservant might not betray you."

Qi Changzai said angrily, "Fool! If it weren't for your incompetence, how could this happen? Zhen Huan and An Lingrong are not easy to fool."

The maid said in panic, "Please forgive me, I will try to make amends right away."

Qi Changzai snorted coldly: "What can you do? Now we can only take it one step at a time and hope they can't find me."

After some investigation, Fu Heng returned to report, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager An, I have discovered that Concubine Qi has been in frequent contact with a maid from outside the palace. The maid's identity is unknown, and Concubine Qi has also secretly sent people to the Imperial Household Department to inquire about some matters."

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong exchanged a glance, and Zhen Huan said, "It seems there's something fishy about this Concubine Qi. Fu Heng, keep your eyes on her and don't alert her. We need to find solid evidence so she can't argue."

An Lingrong said, "Huan'er is right. This time, we must let her know that anyone who attempts to plot against us in the harem will not end well."

Lingxi clenched her fists and said, "Lord Buddha, Empress Dowager An, we must not let her go this time!"

Everyone is on high alert, ready to uncover Qi Changzai's conspiracy, but Qi Changzai is still making her last struggle, trying to hide her crimes in the unfathomable fog of the harem. However, the gradually tightening net is approaching her step by step. Can she escape?
