The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of An Lingrong: Counterattack to Become the Queen Mother
Chapter 40: Sisterly Love, Breaking the Crisis Again
"Hmph! Although the Queen is under house arrest, her followers must still be watching us in secret!" Mei Zhuang frowned, her eyes full of vigilance.
"Sister Meizhuang is right! We can't let our guard down. We have to find a way to thoroughly investigate the Queen's power." Zhen Huan said solemnly.
"Yes! But how can we investigate this? The Queen's people are hiding very deeply." Chun'er pouted, looking distressed.
"I have an idea." An Lingrong frowned slightly and said slowly, "We can start with those concubines who are close to the Queen, such as Concubine Qi. She always follows the Queen's orders. Maybe we can find a breakthrough through her."
"Lingrong, this is a good idea! Given Concubine Qi's personality, if we can find something to hold against her, we might be able to follow the clues to get to the bottom of the matter." A gleam of light flashed in Concubine Jing's eyes.
"Then we have to find an opportunity to get close to Concubine Qi and see if we can discover anything." Zhen Huan nodded in agreement.
A few days later, in the Imperial Garden.
Zhen Huan took Chun'er to appreciate the flowers on the road that Concubine Qi often walked.
"Oh, isn't this Sister Zhen Huan? How come you have the leisure time to come here to appreciate the flowers today?" Concubine Qi walked over with a twisted waist and a fake smile on her face.
"Sister, you are here. I have been in a good mood recently, so I came to appreciate the flowers in the garden. Would you like to join me?" Zhen Huan responded with a smile.
"Hmph! You know how to enjoy yourself, but don't let happiness turn into sorrow!" Concubine Qi said sarcastically.
"What do you mean, sister? I don't understand." Zhen Huan asked in surprise.
"Hmph! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because the Queen is under house arrest. Let's just wait and see!" Concubine Qi said this and left angrily.
"This Concubine Qi is so arrogant! It seems that she has a special relationship with the Queen. We have to keep an eye on her." Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Qi's back and said to Chun'er.
"Your Majesty, I have discovered that the maidservant beside Concubine Qi is always secretly meeting with a young eunuch. I don't know what they are doing." The young eunuch in Zhen Huan's palace came to report.
"Oh? It seems something is going on. We need to find out." A hint of excitement flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes.
So, after discussing with An Lingrong and others, Zhen Huan decided to follow the palace maid at night.
At night, the moonlight is dim.
"Shh! Don't make any noise and follow closely." An Lingrong said in a low voice.
The palace maid came to a remote corner of the palace and met the young eunuch, and the two began to talk in low voices.
"How is it over there? The Queen is not here, we have to keep calm." The maid asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, I have prepared everything as instructed. Nothing will go wrong." The young eunuch replied.
"What are they talking about? It seems like they are planning something. We have to stop them!" Chun'er said anxiously.
"Don't be impatient, let's see what they are going to do first." Zhen Huan whispered to stop them.
Suddenly, the young eunuch seemed to realize something, "Who?"
"Oh no, we've been discovered! Go!" Zhen Huan shouted softly and rushed out with her men.
"Who are you? How dare you follow us!" the palace maid shouted in panic.
"Hmph! You are sneaking around in this palace, it must be up to no good. Confess your conspiracy!" An Lingrong shouted.
"We have no conspiracy, stop slandering us!" the young eunuch argued.
"Search them!" Zhen Huan ordered.
After the palace maid and the young eunuch were subdued, some letters and a bottle of poison were found on them.
"What is this? Poison? Who do you want to harm?" Mei Zhuang asked in shock.
"We...we don't know anything. This was given to us by others." The palace maid turned pale with fear.
"It seems that there is someone behind this. We have to find out the mastermind." Concubine Jing frowned.
"Take them back for interrogation and make sure to find out the truth." Zhen Huan said.
After returning to Zhen Huan's palace, he was interrogated.
"Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?" Zhen Huan glared at the palace maid.
"It's...it's Concubine Hua. She asked us to find an opportunity to frame you while the Empress is under house arrest." The maid answered tremblingly.
"Concubine Hua? She really has bad intentions!" A trace of hatred flashed in An Lingrong's eyes.
"Hmph! She thinks that since the Queen is under house arrest, she can take the opportunity to suppress us. How naive she is." Mei Zhuang snorted coldly.
"We can't let her succeed. We have to find a way to deal with it." Concubine Jing said.
"I think we can take advantage of the situation and make Concubine Hua think we have been tricked, and then we can counterattack her." Chun'er's eyes lit up.
"Chun'er, this is a good idea. We can pretend to be poisoned and lure Concubine Hua out." Zhen Huan nodded.
So, they began to make arrangements. Zhen Huan pretended to be poisoned and lay on the bed, her face pale.
"My queen, how are you?" Chun'er cried anxiously.
"Go quickly... go and get the imperial physician..." Zhen Huan said weakly.
The news soon reached Concubine Hua's ears.
"Hmph! That bitch Zhen Huan finally fell for it. Let's go and take a look!" Concubine Hua proudly brought her people to Zhen Huan's palace.
"Zhen Huan, you have come to this day!" Concubine Hua said sarcastically, standing by the bed.
"Empress Hua, why are you here? Are you really hoping for my death?" Tears welled up in Zhen Huan's eyes.
"Hmph! So what? I will be happy only if you die!" Concubine Hua laughed.
Just then, An Lingrong rushed in with her men.
"Hua Fei, you are so cruel! You actually use such despicable means!" An Lingrong shouted angrily.
"You...you are not poisoned? What's going on?" Concubine Hua was shocked.
"Hmph! Concubine Hua, we've known about your conspiracy for a long time, and we're here to arrest you today!" Zhen Huan sat up from the bed and said coldly.
"How dare you plot against me? Come on, arrest them all!" Concubine Hua shouted in panic.
"Hua Fei, stop being so arrogant! You have plotted to frame the concubines, and the evidence is conclusive. Just wait for the emperor's punishment!" Concubine Jing shouted.
"No! You can't do this to me!" Hua Fei shouted in despair.
After this incident, Concubine Hua was severely punished by the Emperor, and Zhen Huan and others once again resolved the crisis.
"It was really dangerous this time, luckily we were prepared." Chun'er said, patting his chest.
"Yes, there are crises everywhere in this harem, but as long as we sisters are together, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Zhen Huan said with a smile.
"That's right, our friendship is more precious than anything else. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together!" There was a firm light in An Lingrong's eyes.
In this harem rife with intrigue, their bond grows stronger and stronger, like a brilliant star shining in the darkness, illuminating their path forward. And the secret of An Lingrong's rebirth remains her unwavering strength, enabling her and her sisters to overcome difficulties time and again in this complex environment, moving forward toward hope and writing their own legendary story, a story that resonates throughout every inch of the harem like a passionate movement, never to fade.
