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

Chapter 46: Crisis lurks on all sides, a plan to break the deadlock

"Jiang Fuhai? He is the Queen's confidant. It won't be easy to break through him." An Lingrong frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry, and her fingers unconsciously twirled around her hair.

"It's not easy, but we must try." Zhen Huan's eyes were determined. She stood up and paced back and forth in the room, her skirt swaying gently with her movements. "As long as we can get something on the Queen's side from him, we will have a chance to overthrow her."

"Sister Zhen Huan, how can we get close to Jiang Fuhai? He must be loyal to the Queen and won't be easily bribed by us." Chun'er tilted her head, her face full of confusion, and her eyes blinked.

"We don't have to bribe him." Mei Zhuang tapped the table lightly and said slowly, "We can set up a trap and make him reveal his true identity without knowing it." A hint of cunning flashed in Mei Zhuang's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Sister Mei Zhuang, do you have any good ideas? Tell us quickly!" Chun'er excitedly came to Mei Zhuang and pulled her arm.

"We can deliberately place some specious evidence in places he often hangs out, making him think that something important of the Queen has been lost. He will definitely go to check, and then we will have a chance to catch him." Mei Zhuang's eyes flashed, and she gestured with her hands as she spoke.

"This is a good idea! But what evidence should we put? If it's too obvious, he will definitely become suspicious." An Lingrong nodded in agreement, her brows slightly relaxed.

"We can forge some letters about the Queen's collusion with a mysterious force. The tone should be ambiguous so that he will feel that the matter is of great importance." Zhen Huan stopped, her eyes full of excitement.

"But forging a letter requires imitating handwriting, so we have to find a reliable person." Concubine Jing reminded, stroking her sleeve with a serious expression.

"I know a scholar outside the palace who is good at imitating handwriting. I can ask the young eunuch to sneak out of the palace to ask him for help." Zhen Huan said with confidence in her eyes.

A few days later, the letter was forged.

"This letter really looks like the real thing!" Chun Er exclaimed as she took the letter. "Let's put it where Jiang Fuhai often goes."

"Don't be impatient. We have to observe his whereabouts first and find a suitable opportunity." An Lingrong held Chun'er and looked at Zhen Huan.

"Lingrong is right. Let's let the young eunuch keep an eye on him first, and then take action when he acts alone." Zhen Huan nodded.

A few days later, the eunuch came to report: "My lady, Jiang Fuhai went to the imperial kitchen alone today. It seems that he went to check the meal arrangements for the Empress."

"Okay! Let's go." Zhen Huan led everyone quietly to the imperial kitchen and placed the letter in a hidden but easily discovered corner.

After a while, Jiang Fuhai came as expected. He saw the letter in the corner, his eyes froze, he looked around, and then quickly picked up the letter.

"Hmph! Want to run?" Zhen Huan gave an order and everyone rushed out.

"Jiang Fuhai, what are you holding in your hand?" Zhen Huan asked loudly, staring at him sharply.

"My lady, this... this is something I picked up. I don't know what it is." Jiang Fuhai's face changed slightly, his eyes were a little flustered, but he still pretended to be calm.

"Open it and take a look!" An Lingrong shouted. She took a step forward and stared at Jiang Fuhai.

Jiang Fuhai hesitated for a moment, but still opened the letter.

"This... this is slander! Ladies, someone is trying to frame the Queen!" Jiang Fuhai shouted, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead and his hands trembling slightly.

"Slander? Then how did this letter end up in your hands?" Mei Zhuang sneered, crossing her arms across her chest.

"I really found it, please spare my life, my masters!" Jiang Fuhai knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, his eyes filled with horror.

"Take him back and interrogate him!" Zhen Huan gave the order, and the eunuchs stepped forward to arrest Jiang Fuhai.

In Zhen Huan's palace, Jiang Fuhai was tied to a chair.

"Jiang Fuhai, you'd better tell me the truth. What exactly is the Queen's conspiracy?" Zhen Huan sat in the main seat, looking at him with cold eyes.

"My lady, I really didn't know! This letter is fake. Someone is framing the Queen." Jiang Fuhai cried and begged for mercy.

"Hmph! Still trying to be stubborn? Then let's see if the Queen will come to save you." An Lingrong said coldly, with majesty in her eyes.

After a while, the queen really sent someone to ask for the person.

"Hmph! The Queen is so anxious, it seems Jiang Fuhai is very important to her." Zhen Huan sneered, "We can't hand him over and continue the trial."

After a while, Jiang Fuhai finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore. "My lady, I'm telling you, I'm telling you! The Empress is indeed colluding with some forces outside the palace. They want to... control the harem, and even... even influence the previous dynasty," Jiang Fuhai said tremblingly.

"Sure enough! We have evidence, let's go tell the emperor now." A hint of joy flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes, and she stood up and prepared to find the emperor.

"Wait, we can't be so reckless. We have to have a foolproof plan. If the Queen bites back, we will be in trouble." An Lingrong stopped Zhen Huan with a serious expression.

"Lingrong is right. We have to think carefully about how to present the evidence to the emperor and make him believe us." Meizhuang nodded.

"We can arrange a program during the palace banquet, cleverly integrating these evidences into it, so that the emperor can discover them while watching the program." Concubine Jing suggested.

"This is a good idea! We can let the young eunuchs and palace maids perform a story about collusion between treacherous officials, and then hide the evidence in the props." Zhen Huan's eyes lit up.

So they began to prepare. On the day of the palace banquet, the performance began. The emperor and his concubines were all captivated by the show.

When the performance reached its climax, a young eunuch accidentally knocked over the prop box, and the letters and evidence inside were scattered all over the floor.

"What is this?" The emperor frowned and his eyes became serious.

Zhen Huan and the others pretended to be surprised. "Your Majesty, we were unaware of this. This was an accident during the performance."

The emperor picked up the letter and began to read it, his expression growing increasingly gloomy. "Send the queen to me!"

When the Queen arrived and saw the evidence, her face turned pale. "Your Majesty, someone is framing me!"

"Framed? The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble?" The emperor glared at the queen.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" the Queen cried.

"Hmph! I will never trust you again. Come, depose the queen and banish her to the cold palace! Investigate this matter thoroughly!" the emperor ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your wisdom!" Zhen Huan and others smiled at each other, their eyes full of relief.

"We succeeded again this time, thanks to everyone." An Lingrong said gratefully.

"Yes, as long as we sisters work together, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome." Zhen Huan said.

In this ever-changing harem, their bond grows deeper, like a strong rope that binds them together. And the secret of An Lingrong's rebirth remains a beacon in her heart, guiding her and her sisters as they navigate this harem filled with conspiracy, writing their own legendary story, a story that unfolds like a gorgeous scroll through the history of the harem, never fading.
