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

After Fu Heng left, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were on pins and needles in the palace, always worried about the situation outside the palace.

Zhen Huan paced back and forth in the palace, muttering to herself, "Just how far have this prince and Su Jinran plotted? Will Fu Heng be in danger on this trip?"

An Lingrong comforted him softly, "Empress Dowager, Fu Heng is a skilled warrior and a thoughtful person. He will surely return safely. All we can do now is to maintain our position in the palace and prevent them from taking advantage of any opportunity."

Lingxi watched anxiously from the side and couldn't help but say, "Old Buddha, Queen Mother An, I still think I can help. I can quietly keep an eye out for any suspicious people in the palace."

Zhen Huan stopped and looked at Lingxi, saying seriously, "Lingxi, this palace struggle is no joke. Those people are ruthless and merciless. If something happens to you, what will we do?"

Lingxi said unconvincedly, "I'm not afraid! I want to be as brave as Brother Fuheng!"

An Lingrong walked over, took Lingxi's hand and said, "Princess, your courage is commendable, but we need to take a long-term view. If you really want to help, please help us take good care of the young eunuchs and maids in the palace, so that they don't panic and are not taken advantage of by outsiders."

Lingxi thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll start from here."

Anarchun returned to report. She said to Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, "Lao Fo, Empress Dowager An, I have found out everything. The prince's favorite concubine loves a kind of fragrant dew from the Western Regions, which can only be found in my hometown. I have sent someone to get it. If I can use this as bait, perhaps I can get her to reveal some secrets."

Zhen Huan asked, "Princess Chun, how do you plan to approach her? After all, she's in the palace, and we can't easily send anyone in."

Anarchun replied, "My Lord, I would like to find an excuse to visit the Prince's wife, and my beloved concubine will definitely accompany me. Then I can find an opportunity to be alone with her, show her my fragrant dew, and lure her into taking the bait."

An Lingrong praised: "Chunpin is very thoughtful. But you must be very careful in the process and don't let the prince get suspicious."

Anarchun said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will act with caution."

Xiao Jingyan was also actively taking action. He went to the palace again to report: "Empress Dowager, Old Buddha, I have noticed that the prince has been in frequent contact with a minister in the court recently. That minister is in charge of the military preparations in the capital. I suspect they may use force."

Zhen Huan's expression changed. "This is unacceptable! If they take control of the military, won't the capital be plunged into war?"

An Lingrong pondered for a moment and said, "Empress Dowager, we must strike first. Could you please have Fu Heng contact some reliable generals to secretly monitor the prince and the minister's every move, and stop them immediately if they make any unusual moves?"

Zhen Huan nodded. "That's all we can do. Jingyan, go and assist Fu Heng. This matter is of great importance and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."

Xiao Jingyan took the order and left.

In this crisis-ridden moment, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong knew that every step was treading on thin ice. Zhen Huan said to An Lingrong, "Huan'er, we have experienced countless hardships along the way. This crisis is probably the most severe one yet."

An Lingrong held Zhen Huan's hand and said, "My Queen Mother, no matter what, we cannot give up. For ourselves, for the sake of this harem, and for the peace of the world, we must fight them to the end."

The two men stared at each other, their eyes filled with determination and resoluteness. Meanwhile, Anarchun had already set out for the palace, while Fu Heng and Xiao Jingyan were also frantically preparing a response plan. All parties were secretly competing on this invisible battlefield. Who would ultimately prevail in this life-and-death struggle remained uncertain. The entire palace was enveloped in a tense and oppressive atmosphere, as if a huge storm was about to strike.
