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

"Empress Jingpin is right! We can overcome the difficulties this time thanks to everyone's concerted efforts." Zhen Huan said, holding her sisters' hands with a determined light in her eyes.

"That's right! Those who want to harm us will never succeed!" Chun'er jumped up, his face full of indignation.

"However, we can't take it lightly. This time it was Yu Da Ying, but who knows who it will be next time." An Lingrong frowned, her expression a little solemn.

"Lingrong is right, we need to prepare early." Meizhuang nodded in agreement.

"Then what should we do next?" Concubine Jing asked everyone.

"I think we can start by collecting intelligence. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles." Zhen Huan said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, we have to place some reliable spies in each palace so that we can know in time if there is any disturbance." An Lingrong said.

"But it's not easy to find such a spy. He has to be absolutely loyal." Mei Zhuang was a little worried.

"Sister Meizhuang, we can select from the trustworthy palace maids and eunuchs in our own palace, and then train them slowly." Chun'er suggested with her big eyes blinking.

"Chun'er, this is a good idea. We can try it first." Concubine Jing nodded in praise.

"Then let's go back to the palace to make our own arrangements, and keep each other informed if there is any news." Zhen Huan said.

A few days later, everyone gathered again.

"I found a young eunuch in my palace. He has followed me since he was a child. He is smart and loyal. I have asked him to pay attention to the movements in each palace." Zhen Huan said.

"I also found a palace maid. She is usually careful and I believe she can do a good job." Mei Zhuang continued.

"I have made arrangements here. It's an old nanny who has been in the palace for many years. She is knowledgeable and must be well-informed." Concubine Jing said.

"I'm looking for a little palace maid. She is very smart and she understands everything I say." Chun'er said with a smile.

"Lingrong, what about you?" Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong.

"I found a young eunuch who is good at mixing spices. I taught him a special spice formula. This spice is colorless and odorless, but it can make people relax their vigilance. He will use this to approach people in other palaces and obtain information." An Lingrong replied.

"Lingrong, your idea is great! You are indeed a master of spices." Mei Zhuang praised.

"Haha, with these spies, we are not afraid of those villains anymore!" Chun'er said excitedly.

However, it wasn't long before a problem arose. A young eunuch from Zhen Huan's palace came to report, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! I've noticed a few strange eunuchs sneaking around the palaces lately. I don't know what they're doing."

"What? Is there someone else acting in secret?" Zhen Huan was shocked.

"We have to find out quickly and can't let them ruin our plans." Concubine Jing looked serious.

"I think we can send someone to follow them secretly and see what their purpose is." An Lingrong suggested.

"Okay, let's do it. I'll let my people go." Mei Zhuang said.

A few days later, Mei Zhuang's maid returned. "Your Majesty, I've found out that those strange eunuchs are the Empress's men. They seem to be gathering evidence against the other palaces."

"The Queen? She certainly has bad intentions!" Zhen Huan frowned.

"She wants to control us all. She is so cunning." Concubine Jing snorted coldly.

"Then we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way to deal with it." A hint of determination flashed in An Lingrong's eyes.

"We can take advantage of the situation and deliberately release some false evidence to mislead the Queen." Chun'er's eyes lit up.

"Chun'er's idea is good, but it will be troublesome if the Queen finds out." Mei Zhuang was a little worried.

"We have to be more clever and not let her see any flaws." An Lingrong said thoughtfully.

"I have an idea. We can release some insignificant little handles, and then do some tricks in the key places, so that the Queen will think that she has grasped our weakness, but in fact it will have no effect on us." Zhen Huan said.

"This method is feasible, let's do it." Concubine Jing nodded.

So they started to act, carefully preparing some false evidence and placing it in places where it could be easily discovered.

Sure enough, not long after, the queen took action and summoned all the concubines.

"I have heard some things recently that concern the peace of the harem, so I have to investigate." The queen glanced at everyone majestically.

"Empress, what's going on?" asked a concubine.

"Hmph! Someone is hiding contraband in the palace. I already have evidence." The Queen said, looking at Zhen Huan and others with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Empress, could there be some misunderstanding?" Zhen Huan asked in feigned panic.

"Misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes, how could there be a misunderstanding? Come here, bring the evidence!" the Queen shouted.

When the evidence was presented, Zhen Huan and others pretended to be afraid.

"Empress, this... this is not ours. Someone must have framed us!" An Lingrong cried.

"Hmph! How dare you quibble?" the queen said angrily.

At this moment, Concubine Jing stepped forward. "Empress, there are many doubts in this matter. We cannot convict them based on these alone."

"Jingpin, are you going to protect them?" The queen's face darkened.

"Your Majesty, I dare not. It's just that these evidences were discovered too easily. I feel there is something fishy going on. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly." Concubine Jing said calmly.

After hearing this, the Queen pondered for a moment. "Hmph! Since Concubine Jing says so, I will investigate further. If there is indeed something wrong with you, I will not let you off lightly!"

"Thank you, Her Majesty!" Zhen Huan and others bowed.

After returning to the palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, we were prepared, otherwise it would have been dangerous this time." Chun'er said, patting his chest.

"We have escaped danger temporarily this time, but the Queen will definitely not let it go. We have to continue to be on guard," said An Lingrong.

"That's right, we have to be more careful and not let the Queen catch us." Zhen Huan nodded.

Within this harem, conspiracies and schemes abound, but Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, and the others, relying on their wisdom and friendship, overcome danger time and again. They continue to advance toward the throne of the harem's master, writing their own legendary stories, which shine like the brightest stars in the night sky, forever etched in the history of the harem. And the secret of An Lingrong's rebirth remains her beacon in this darkness, guiding her and her sisters through the fog and toward the light.
