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

After Fu Heng left, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong continued to discuss countermeasures.

Zhen Huan said worriedly, "Huan'er, this prince's influence in the court cannot be underestimated. If he really colludes with Su Jinran and attempts rebellion, then this harem and even the entire court will be plunged into chaos!"

An Lingrong frowned slightly, her eyes firm, "Madam, no matter what their plot is, we cannot sit idly by and wait for death. The most urgent task is to obtain those letters as soon as possible and find out their plan."

At this time, Lingxi ran over, holding the sachet she had just embroidered, and said with a smile: "Old Buddha, Empress Dowager An, look at the sachet I embroidered, is it beautiful?"

Zhen Huan forced a smile: "Lingxi's embroidery is really beautiful. The princess is becoming more and more clever and skillful."

Lingxi sensed that the atmosphere was not right and asked doubtfully, "Old Buddha, Queen Mother An, are you worried about something? Are there bad guys coming?"

An Lingrong gently stroked Lingxi's head. "Princess, there are some things we need to take care of. But don't worry, with the old Buddha and I here, we won't let the bad guys succeed."

Lingxi puffed out her cheeks and said, "Then I want to help too! I can deliver information to Brother Fu Heng. I can run really fast!"

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were amused by Lingxi's words. Zhen Huan said, "Lingxi, be good and stay in the palace. This is too dangerous and you cannot participate in it."

Lingxi lowered her head in frustration.

Anarchun came to ask for an audience. After seeing Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, she said, "Old Buddha, Queen Mother An, I heard that the prince has a favorite concubine who is very much in his favor. Perhaps we can start with her."

Zhen Huan's eyes lit up. "Princess Chun, your idea is good. But this favorite concubine must also be deeply trusted by the prince. How can we get her to tell the truth?"

Anarchun thought for a moment and said, "I can first inquire about this favorite concubine's preferences and weaknesses before making any plans. Perhaps I can lure her in with some precious Western spices. After all, most women love beauty."

An Lingrong nodded in agreement: "This plan is feasible, Concubine Chun. Then I'll have to trouble you to arrange it."

Anarchun took the order and left.

Xiao Jingyan entered the palace and reported, "Empress Dowager, Lord Buddha, I have noticed that one of the suspects in custody seems to be wavering and wants to confess."

Zhen Huan said anxiously, "Jingyan, quickly take me and Empress Dowager An to see him."

The three of them arrived at the place where he was being held. Zhen Huan looked at the suspicious man and said sternly, "If you confess the truth, I can give you a lighter sentence. But if you lie, I will not let you off!"

The man trembled and said, "Queen Dowager, I...I was only following orders. I only know that Master Su asked us to meet him outside the palace walls, saying that he had something important to attend to. I really don't know anything else."

An Lingrong asked, "Then do you know who is behind Master Su's actions? Is it that prince?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "I've heard Master Su mention the prince, but I don't know exactly what they're going to do."

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other. Although they felt disappointed, they also knew that this was a breakthrough.

After Fu Heng learned of this, he volunteered, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager An, I'd like to investigate further into the relationship between that prince and the ministers in the court. I think we can start by looking at their family interests and perhaps uncover the reason for their collusion."

Zhen Huan agreed, "Fu Heng, you must be careful on this trip. This palace and Empress Dowager An are in the palace, awaiting your news. We hope to uncover this conspiracy as soon as possible and restore peace to the harem."

Fu Heng bid farewell and left. Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at his receding back, knowing that the struggle was becoming more and more intense. Under the undercurrent, all forces were ready to move. Whether they could win in this crisis was still unknown. They could only rely on wisdom and courage to move towards the truth step by step and protect the hard-won peace and power.
