"Chun'er is right! We can't be afraid. Those evil spirits and monsters will never be able to defeat us!" Zhen Huan's eyes were firm and she held Chun'er's hand.

"Yes, we have been through so much, how can we be defeated easily!" Mei Zhuang also echoed with a determined look on her face.

"Even though the Queen is under house arrest, that bitch Hua Fei is still making trouble!" Jingpin frowned, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

"Hmph! So what if it's Concubine Hua? We can find something to hold against her this time!" Chun'er waved her little fists as if she wanted to have a big fight with Concubine Hua.

"Chun'er, don't be impulsive. Concubine Hua is not like others. Her brother Nian Gengyao holds a large army. She has always been arrogant in the palace. It is not easy to bring her down." An Lingrong pulled Chun'er over and said softly.

"Lingrong is right. We have to think about it in the long run. I heard that Concubine Hua has been summoning officials' families to the palace frequently recently. I wonder what she is planning." Zhen Huan frowned slightly and thought.

"We can start with those families and see if we can get any information." Mei Zhuang suggested.

"That's a good idea, but we need to find a reliable person to inquire." Concubine Jing nodded.

"I have a distant cousin who was also summoned recently. I can write a letter to ask her." An Lingrong said.

"Lingrong, isn't this too risky? If Concubine Hua finds out, your cousin will be in danger." Zhen Huan was a little worried.

"Don't worry, sister. I will use special spices to convey the message so that others can't find it." An Lingrong said confidently.

A few days later, An Lingrong received a reply from her cousin.

"Sisters, there's news! Concubine Hua seems to be trying to win over the officials' families and wants to jointly write a letter to the emperor asking him to give her the power to assist in managing the six palaces!" An Lingrong said anxiously to everyone.

"What? Assist in managing the six palaces? She is too ambitious! We must not let her succeed!" Zhen Huan said in shock.

"But how can we stop her? Those officials' families are not easy to deal with." Mei Zhuang worried.

"We can take the initiative and tell the emperor that Concubine Hua is not suitable to assist in managing the six palaces and expose her conspiracy." Jingpin said.

"But we have to have a reason, we can't just talk nonsense." Chun'er muttered.

"I have an idea! Concubine Hua has always been extravagant. We can start with the fact that her palace expenses exceed the budget and let the emperor know that she is not a suitable person to assist in managing the six palaces." An Lingrong's eyes lit up.

"This is a good reason, but we need evidence." Zhen Huan nodded.

"I can ask my spies in the imperial kitchen to check the quantity and specifications of daily necessities in Concubine Hua's palace. I'm sure they'll find evidence," Mei Zhuang said.

A few days later, Mei Zhuang brought news.

"Sisters, we've found out! The expenses in Concubine Hua's palace far exceed the regulations. Even the charcoal used is several times more than ours!" Mei Zhuang said angrily.

"Hmph! This Concubine Hua is really going too far! Let's go tell the Emperor right now." Zhen Huan said, leading everyone to the Emperor's Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Zhen Huan said after bowing.

"Zhen Huan, what do you want?" The emperor put down the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Hua has been winning over the families of officials in the palace recently, intending to jointly write a letter to Your Majesty asking her to grant her the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. Moreover, I also discovered that Concubine Hua's palace expenses are seriously exceeding the budget. With such extravagant lifestyle, if she is allowed to assist in the management of the six palaces, wouldn't the harem be in chaos!" Zhen Huan spoke earnestly.

"Is this really true?" The emperor frowned.

"Your Majesty, everything Sister Zhen Huan said is true, and I can testify to that." Mei Zhuang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is really inappropriate for Concubine Hua to act like this!" Concubine Jing also agreed.

"Hmph! I will send people to investigate. If it is really as you said, I will not let you off easily!" said the emperor angrily.

Soon, the results of the investigation came out, and it was found that the expenses in Hua Fei's palace were indeed exceeding the budget. The emperor was furious and severely reprimanded Hua Fei, and never mentioned the matter of assisting in the management of the six palaces again.

"Haha, we succeeded!" Chun'er jumped up with joy.

"Thanks to everyone this time, but we can't be careless. Concubine Hua will definitely take revenge." An Lingrong reminded.

"Who cares about her! As long as we stand united, we have nothing to fear!" Zhen Huan held her sisters' hands.

"Yes, we must protect our friendship and the peace of the harem." Mei Zhuang said firmly.

However, Concubine Hua did not give up. One day, when Zhen Huan was admiring flowers in the imperial garden, a young eunuch suddenly rushed out and threw a pot of flowers at Zhen Huan.

"Ah!" Zhen Huan exclaimed.

Fortunately, Chun'er reacted quickly and pushed Zhen Huan away, but her arm was scratched by the flowerpot.

"Chun'er! How are you?" Zhen Huan asked anxiously.

"Sister, I'm fine, just a little scrape." Chun'er said while enduring the pain.

"It must have been done by that bitch Concubine Hua!" Mei Zhuang said angrily.

"We can't just let this go. Hua Fei must pay the price!" Jingpin also said angrily.

"We have to think of a way to punish Concubine Hua without letting the emperor think we are deliberately taking revenge." An Lingrong said calmly.

"I have an idea! We can tamper with Concubine Hua's spices to embarrass her." A hint of cunning flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes.

"Lingrong, you know the most about spices. Is this method feasible?" Meizhuang asked.

"Sure, I can mix a spice that will make Concubine Hua lose her composure in front of everyone, and it won't be discovered that it was us who did it." An Lingrong nodded.

So, An Lingrong carefully prepared the spices and sent them to Concubine Hua's palace in a clever way.

At a palace banquet, Concubine Hua dressed up for the occasion. However, not long after, she began to sneeze constantly, her makeup was smudged, and she made a fool of herself in front of everyone.

"Haha, what happened to Concubine Hua?" The other concubines whispered.

"Hmph! It must be because she did too many evil things in the past, and this is her retribution!" Chun'er said in a low voice.

Concubine Hua was angry and annoyed, but she didn't know what was going on, so she could only return to the palace in embarrassment.

"We can finally breathe a sigh of relief this time, but Concubine Hua will definitely have another trick up her sleeve, so we have to continue to be careful," Zhen Huan said.

"That's right, we can't let our guard down. This harem is like a battlefield, and we can't take a wrong step." An Lingrong looked at everyone, her eyes full of determination.

In the turbulent harem, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, and the others are like ships sailing amidst raging storms. Relying on their friendship and wisdom, they repeatedly navigate reefs and storms. They continue their journey toward the throne of the harem, writing their own legendary stories. And the secret of An Lingrong's rebirth, like the ballast beneath the ship, steadily guides her through the turbulent seas of the harem, heading for the bright shore where they long for peace and happiness.
