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

While Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were trying their best to track down the poisonous spices, Zhen Huan suddenly felt unwell and her body became weaker and weaker. The imperial physician tried every possible way but could not find any clues.

Lingxi stayed by Zhen Huan's bedside, her eyes reddened: "My Lord Buddha, you must get better!"

An Lingrong was extremely anxious, but she forced herself to remain calm. "Lingxi, don't cry. We will definitely find a cure."

Just when everyone was at their wit's end, the newly crowned noblewoman, Anar Chun, requested a meeting. Upon entering the palace, she saw Zhen Huan's haggard face. After a careful examination, she said gravely, "Empress Dowager An, I suspect the Empress Dowager has been poisoned by a strange Western poison called the Phantom Dream Soul-Eating Poison. It's colorless and odorless, extremely difficult to detect, and its toxicity spreads rapidly."

An Lingrong was shocked: "Phantom Dream Soul-Eating Poison? Do you have an antidote?"

Anarchun frowned slightly: "Although I know the solution, the process is extremely complicated and requires many precious medicinal herbs."

Lingxi eagerly grabbed Anarchun's hand and said, "Sister, as long as it can save the old lady, anything is fine. Please give it a try!"

Anarchun looked at Lingxi and nodded, saying, "Princess Lingxi, don't worry, I will do my best. However, during the detoxification period, the old Buddha may be in great pain, and we will need everyone's help."

An Lingrong immediately arranged, "Anarchun, if you need anything, just ask. I will have Fu Heng assist you fully."

Anarchun began to work on the detoxification. She first sealed several of Zhen Huan's major acupuncture points with silver needles to prevent the poison from attacking her heart. Then, she had someone brew a special medicinal soup, the aroma of which filled the entire palace.

During the detoxification process, Zhen Huan was sometimes unconscious and sometimes groaning in pain. Lingxi held Zhen Huan's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face: "My Lord, you must hold on!"

Anarchun was completely absorbed, constantly adjusting the dosage and acupuncture techniques. She whispered to Zhen Huan, "My Lord, you must be strong. You will definitely get through this. Once the toxins are eliminated, your body will be better than before, perhaps even immune to all poisons."

After several days and nights of suffering, Zhen Huan's complexion finally began to improve. Anar Chun also breathed a sigh of relief: "Empress Dowager An, the toxins in the old Buddha's body have been basically eliminated. She only needs a few more days of recuperation to recover."

Lingxi burst into laughter and said, "That's great! Sister, you are truly our benefactor!"

An Lingrong said gratefully, "Anarchun, this time it's all thanks to you. I'll report this to the Emperor, and he'll definitely reward you handsomely."

Zhen Huan slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Thank you, Lady Anarchun. When I recover, I will never forget your kindness."

Anar Chun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, good fortune has come to you. This is what I should do."

After Zhen Huan recovered, An Lingrong and Fu Heng stepped up their investigation into the poisoner. After careful investigation, they discovered that Su Wanqing had bribed the eunuchs in the imperial kitchen to mix pollen from poisonous flowers from the Western Regions into Zhen Huan's food.

An Lingrong was furious: "Su Wanqing, I knew you had bad intentions. How dare you poison the old lady? Your crime is unforgivable!"

Zhen Huan said coldly, "Send Su Wanqing to the cold palace, and severely punish her family as well. No mercy!"

Fu Heng obeyed the order and left, leaving Su Wanqing's plot completely unsuccessful. She wept in despair in the cold palace, regretting her actions, but nothing could be undone. After this incident, the harem temporarily returned to peace, but Zhen Huan and An Lingrong knew that this peace might still lurk unknown dangers. They still needed to remain vigilant and protect this hard-earned peace.
