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

"Sister Meizhuang is right! The Queen is that old fox, we must expose her true colors this time!" Chun'er clenched her fists tightly, her eyes widened, her face was filled with indignation, her little face flushed slightly with excitement, her steps were big and fast, as if she wanted to rush back to settle the score with the Queen.

"Chun'er, don't be impatient. The Queen has many followers, so we must proceed with caution." Zhen Huan frowned slightly, her eyes filled with caution. She reached out and gently grasped Chun'er, stopping her impulsive steps. Zhen Huan's hand exerted a slight force, showing her determination, while her eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, as if gathering strength.

An Lingrong nodded slightly, biting her lower lip, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Sister Zhen Huan is right, the Queen has been operating in the palace for many years and has a deep foundation. If we act rashly, we will only alert the enemy." As she spoke, she gently stroked the corner of her clothes with her hand, her fingers trembling slightly, revealing her inner nervousness.

"Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait!" Chun'er stomped her feet, pouted, her face full of unwillingness, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire. She looked at everyone angrily, with questioning and anxious eyes.

"We can start with the people around the Queen, such as the eunuchs and maids in her palace, and see if we can get some useful information from them." A gleam flashed in Mei Zhuang's eyes. She tilted her head slightly, supporting her chin with her hand, as if she was thinking about something, and her eyes became deep.

"This is one way, but those eunuchs and palace maids are all loyal to the Queen. It's not easy to get them to speak." Zhen Huan frowned, sighed lightly, and a hint of embarrassment appeared in her eyes. She shook her head gently and pursed her lips slightly.

"We can try bribery, or find something to hold against them." A flicker of determination flashed in An Lingrong's eyes. She raised her head, looked at everyone with a determined gaze, and unconsciously clenched her handkerchief. "There's always a way to make them tell us what we want to know."

"Lingrong's words make sense. We can first send someone to secretly investigate and see if any palace maid or eunuch can take advantage of the opportunity." Meizhuang nodded in agreement. Her eyes became sharp, like an eagle ready to hunt, and she exuded a calm and confident aura.

"I have a little maid in my palace named Caiyue. She is very smart. I can let her try." Zhen Huan looked at everyone with a hint of expectation in her eyes. Her fingers tapped her arm lightly, showing a hint of uneasiness in her heart.

"Okay, if Caiyue finds anything, we can discuss the next step." Meizhuang patted Zhen Huan's shoulder and gave her an encouraging look. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

A few days later, Caiyue came running in, looking nervous and excited: "My lady, I have made an important discovery!" She was running out of breath, her little face flushed, her eyes wide open, flashing with excitement.

Zhen Huan and others immediately gathered around: "Tell me quickly, what did you find?" Zhen Huan held Caiyue's arm tightly and looked at her eagerly.

"I discovered that a young eunuch in the Queen's palace, named Xiao Fuzi, has been secretly meeting with someone outside the palace recently, as if he was passing on some news." Caiyue spoke quickly, her eyes revealing the excitement of discovering a secret.

"Xiao Fuzi? We have to find a way to find out who he is meeting and what message he is delivering." A hint of surprise flashed in An Lingrong's eyes. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on Caiyue, as if afraid of missing a word.

"We can follow Xiao Fuzi and see what he is up to." Chun'er jumped up excitedly, her eyes sparkling, her face full of eagerness, and she kept rubbing her hands, as if she couldn't wait.

"This method is too risky. If we are discovered, all our efforts will be wasted." Mei Zhuang shook her head slightly, frowned, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes. She stroked her forehead gently, as if thinking of a better way.

"Sister Meizhuang is right. We can't alert the enemy." Zhen Huan nodded in agreement. She paced back and forth, scanning everyone's faces as if searching for inspiration. "We can set a small trap on the road that Xiao Fuzi must take to return to the palace. If he accidentally drops the information, we can take it away."

"That's a good idea! Let's do it." An Lingrong's eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile. There was anticipation in her eyes, and her hands clenched unconsciously.

So they carefully set up a small trap. They placed a loose stone on the path that Xiao Fuzi had to take to return to the palace, and arranged a little palace maid next to it to pretend to fall.

That day, Xiao Fuzi arrived as expected. He was walking hurriedly, not noticing the stone beneath his feet. He tripped, causing his bundle to fall out, and the letters inside to scatter all over the floor. The young palace maid nearby took the opportunity to scream, attracting the attention of the surrounding crowd. The people assigned by Zhen Huan and others quickly picked up the letters and disappeared into the crowd.

"Quickly take a look, what's written in the letter?" Chun'er shouted anxiously, her eyes fixed on the letter, her face full of curiosity and excitement, and she reached out to take it.

Zhen Huan opened the letters and her expression became serious as she read them: "These letters are from the Queen to her brother outside the palace. They mention some secrets about court officials. It seems that the Queen wants to use these to consolidate her power." Her lips trembled slightly, and a hint of anger and surprise flashed in her eyes.

"The Queen is so bold! How dare she interfere in the affairs of the court!" Mei Zhuang angrily slammed the table, her eyes blazing with fire, her face flushed with anger, her hands turning slightly white from the force. "We must present this evidence to the Emperor and make sure the Queen receives the punishment she deserves!"

"Don't be anxious. We don't know if the Queen has any other plans. We must keep these letters well and find a suitable time to let the Emperor see them." An Lingrong's eyes were calm. She gently pressed Mei Zhuang's hand, trying to calm her down, but her own hands were sweating slightly, showing her inner tension.

"Lingrong is right. We can't act rashly. This matter still needs long-term consideration." Zhen Huan took a deep breath to calm herself. She looked at everyone with a firm look in her eyes, "We must make sure the Queen has no chance of fighting back!"
