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

"Sister Mei Zhuang is right, we have to be on guard at all times." An Lingrong frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She bit her lower lip unconsciously, and her fingers tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

"Humph! If those people dare to provoke us again, we will make sure they never return!" Chun'er waved her little fists, her face puffed up with anger, her eyes as big as copper bells, "We still haven't settled the score with Xia Chang for that incident last time!"

"Chun'er, don't be impulsive. Concubine Xia is nothing to be afraid of, but we have to be careful with the Queen and Concubine Hua." Zhen Huan patted Chun'er's shoulder, comforting her, but her eyes turned to An Lingrong, "Lingrong, have you discovered anything recently?"

An Lingrong nodded slightly, glanced around, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, she whispered, "I heard that the Queen has been summoning concubines from all over the palace frequently recently. I wonder what she is planning. And Concubine Hua, although she has been neglected by the Emperor, her influence is still there, and the people in her palace are not idle either." She frowned, her eyes were solemn, and her lips were slightly pursed as she spoke.

"It seems that the Queen wants to win over the hearts of the people and consolidate her power. As for Concubine Hua, we have to find a way to suppress her again and not let her have a chance to turn things around." A trace of determination flashed in Mei Zhuang's eyes. She raised her chin slightly, her expression dignified, and crossed her hands in front of her.

"It's not difficult to suppress Concubine Hua, but the Queen is very shrewd, so we have to take a long-term view." Zhen Huan said thoughtfully. She paced lightly with deep eyes, as if she was thinking about some brilliant plan, and her fingers unconsciously wrapped around the jade pendant at her waist.

"I have an idea!" An Lingrong's eyes lit up, "We can start with the palace maids and eunuchs around the Queen, maybe we can find out something." The corners of her mouth rose slightly, her eyes flashed with confidence, and her body leaned forward slightly, looking a little excited.

"That's one way, but the people around the Queen are all her confidants. How can they be bribed so easily by us?" Chun'er tilted her head, frowned, and looked full of suspicion.

"We don't have to bribe them. We can find an opportunity to observe their actions and maybe find a flaw." Mei Zhuang nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes. She looked at An Lingrong and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Yes! Let's start from this direction." Zhen Huan made up her mind and her eyes became firm. "However, you must be careful when taking action and must not be exposed." Her eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, as if giving instructions, and as if encouraging.

After a few days, Zhen Huan and others pretended to appreciate the flowers in the imperial garden, but in fact they were paying attention to the movements of the palace maids and eunuchs around the queen.

"Look, that little eunuch is acting suspiciously, as if he has something to do." Chun'er said in a low voice, her eyes fixed on a little eunuch not far away. She squatted down slightly, hid behind the flowers, and pulled the corner of Zhen Huan's clothes.

Zhen Huan followed Chun'er's gaze and saw the young eunuch looking around nervously, holding a package in his hand.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhen Huan said in a low voice. She bent down and followed the little eunuch carefully. An Lingrong, Meizhuang and Chun'er followed closely behind.

The young eunuch came to the village and Chun'er followed closely behind.

The young eunuch came to a remote corner of the palace, looked around, put the package under a stone, and hurried away.

"Quick, take a look at what's in the package." Zhen Huan walked quickly forward, picked up the package, opened it and saw some letters inside.

"These letters... seem to be evidence of collusion between the Queen and ministers outside the palace!" An Lingrong said in surprise, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief, her hands trembling slightly as she held the letters.

"Oh my God! How dare the Queen be so bold!" Mei Zhuang covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock. "We must hand this evidence over to the Emperor."

"No! Now is not the time." Zhen Huan shook her head, a trace of deep thought flashing in her eyes. "We must first find out who these ministers are, and then find a suitable time to present the evidence to the emperor."

"Sister Zhen Huan is right. We can't alert the enemy." Chun'er nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "We must make sure the Queen pays for it this time!"

"Well, let's put the letter away first and study it carefully when we get back." An Lingrong said. She carefully put the letter away and hid it in her clothes. There was a hint of excitement and nervousness in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

Back in the palace, everyone sat together and looked at the letter carefully.

"These ministers are all important figures in the court. If the queen really colludes with them, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhen Huan frowned, her expression solemn. She placed the letter on the table and tapped it lightly with her fingers.

"We have to find more evidence. These letters alone are not enough." Mei Zhuang said. She picked up a letter and looked at it carefully, her eyes focused and her brows slightly furrowed.

"I think we can start with the families of these ministers, maybe we can find some clues." An Lingrong suggested. She looked at Zhen Huan with a glint of wisdom in her eyes, and tilted her head slightly, as if waiting for Zhen Huan's opinion.

"Lingrong, this idea is feasible. We can ask the young eunuchs to inquire about the families of these ministers." Zhen Huan nodded, a hint of approval in her eyes. She looked at Chun'er, "Chun'er, you take care of this matter. Find a few smart and reliable young eunuchs."

"Okay! Sister Zhen Huan, I'll go right away!" Chun'er ran out happily, with an excited smile on her face, her steps as light as a bird.

A few days later, Chun'er came back with the news that the young eunuchs had found out.

"Sister Zhen Huan, I found out! The wife of one of the ministers often goes in and out of a silk shop, and her behavior is a bit suspicious." Chun'er said breathlessly, her face flushed, her eyes flashing with excitement, and her hands kept gesturing.

"A silk shop? Looks like we need to go check it out." Zhen Huan stood up, her eyes sharp as she looked at An Lingrong and Mei Zhuang. "Let's go."

The three of them came to the silk shop, pretending to select silk, secretly observing the situation around them.

"Look, that lady is here." An Lingrong said in a low voice. She signaled Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang with her eyes, then walked to a corner calmly.

The minister's wife walked into the silk shop in a hurry. After talking to the shopkeeper for a few words, the shopkeeper took out a box from under the counter and handed it to her.

"We have to find a way to get that box." Mei Zhuang whispered, her eyes fixed on the box, her hands clenched unconsciously.

"I have a way." Zhen Huan's lips curled up into a smile, and she winked at Chun'er. Chun'er understood and deliberately overturned a shelf. For a moment, the silk shop was in chaos.

Zhen Huan took the opportunity to walk to the shopkeeper's counter, took the box, and then left the silk shop with everyone else in the chaos.

"Open it quickly and take a look!" Chun'er said impatiently, looking at the box with shining eyes.

Zhen Huan opened the box and found some account books and secret letters inside.

"These are all evidence of collusion between the Queen and the ministers! The Queen can't escape this time!" Zhen Huan said excitedly, with a gleam of victory in her eyes and a relieved smile on her face. Her body trembled slightly, and her face flushed with excitement.

"We can finally overthrow the Queen!" An Lingrong's face was also full of excitement, tears flashing in her eyes, as if years of grievances were finally being vented. Her lips trembled slightly, and her hands tightly grasped Zhen Huan's arms.

"Yes, it has not been easy along the way, and our efforts have not been in vain." Mei Zhuang sighed, her eyes full of satisfaction, a smile on her lips, and she gently patted An Lingrong's hand.

"However, we can't be happy too soon. We can't let our guard down on Concubine Hua's side either." Zhen Huan said. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Her eyes became firm again and she looked into the distance, as if she was ready to face the next challenge.
