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

An Lingrong was startled, knowing a new crisis was brewing. Her hands trembled slightly, her brow furrowed for a moment, and a flash of panic crossed her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She took a deep breath, looked at Zhen Huan, and moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Zhen Huan noticed something was wrong with An Lingrong, so she hurried over, held her hand, and asked softly, "Lingrong, what's wrong with you? You look so bad, what happened?" Zhen Huan stared at An Lingrong, her eyes full of worry, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

An Lingrong bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Sister, I have a bad feeling. This matter may not be simple." She looked into the distance, her eyes a little vague, as if she was recalling something bad.

"No matter what it is, we sisters will face it together." Zhen Huan patted An Lingrong's hand, gave her a firm look, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, trying to calm her emotions.

At this time, Chun'er ran over, her little face flushed, her eyes shining with excitement: "Sisters, I just heard the news that the Queen has been frequently summoning the imperial doctors from various palaces in the past few days. I don't know what's going on." Chun'er said while waving her little hands with a curious look on her face.

Mei Zhuang also walked over with a serious expression: "The Queen has always been cunning, this action must be suspicious." Mei Zhuang frowned slightly, with a hint of alertness in her eyes, and she unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

"Is the Queen ill? But if so, why is there such a big fuss?" Zhen Huan narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

An Lingrong shook her head: "I don't think it's that simple. The Queen has always been cautious. She might be planning something that is disadvantageous to us." Her eyes turned cold, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

"No matter what she wants to do, we can't just sit there and wait for death." Zhen Huan said with a firm look in her eyes, "We must first find out the real reason why the Queen summoned the imperial physician."

"I have an idea." An Lingrong's eyes gleamed. "We can find a reliable eunuch and ask the Imperial Hospital to see if there are any clues."

"This is a good idea! I know a young eunuch who is very smart. I will go find him right away." Chun'er volunteered and ran away happily.

After a while, Chun'er returned with the eunuch. The eunuch knelt on the ground, looking a little nervous. "My dear ladies, I've heard that the Empress summoned the imperial physician to inquire about a rare spice. It is said that if this spice is used on clothing, it can cause hallucinations."

"What?" Zhen Huan's face changed. "What does the Queen want this spice for? Is she trying to frame us?"

"It's very likely." An Lingrong's face darkened. "We are all connected to the spices. If anyone in the palace experiences hallucinations, the Queen will definitely blame us."

"Then we have to find a way to deal with it quickly." Mei Zhuang said anxiously.

"Let's start with the spices and see if we can find a way to crack it." An Lingrong said calmly, "I'm quite familiar with spices, maybe I can find something."

So, An Lingrong began to study various spices in her own palace. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were focused on the spices in front of her, sometimes picking up one to smell, and sometimes mixing several spices together.

Zhen Huan watched from the side and asked worriedly, "Lingrong, how is it? Do you have any idea?" Zhen Huan's eyes were full of anticipation, and her hands were unconsciously twisted together.

An Lingrong shook her head: "This spice is very strange, I have never seen it before, it will take some time." Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

At this moment, a palace maid came running in: "My ladies, this is bad! Yu Da Ying has suddenly gone mad in the Imperial Garden, talking nonsense, as if possessed by an evil spirit!"

"Oh no! This must be the Queen's conspiracy!" Zhen Huan exclaimed, "Let's go and take a look."

When everyone rushed to the imperial garden, they saw Yu Da Ying rolling on the ground with a terrified look in her eyes, shouting, "Don't come over! Don't come over!" The palace maids and eunuchs around her were so scared that they didn't know what to do.

The Queen was also standing by, with a look of regret on her face: "Why did Concubine Yu suddenly become like this? She's so pitiful." But An Lingrong saw a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Empress, I agree that this symptom is very strange. Could it be that someone did it on purpose?" Zhen Huan looked at the Empress with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Hmph! Zhen Huan, what do you mean by this? Do you doubt me? I just arrived too." The Queen glared at Zhen Huan, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

"Don't be angry, Empress. Sister Zhen Huan is just worried." An Lingrong tried to smooth things over with a smile, but her eyes were cold as she looked at the Empress. "But this matter is indeed strange. We need to investigate it thoroughly."

"Investigate? Of course we must! I will thoroughly investigate this matter and restore peace to the harem!" the Queen said loudly.

"That's good. I hope the Queen can find out the truth as soon as possible and not wrongly accuse a good person." Zhen Huan bowed slightly, but her eyes were full of disdain.

After the Queen left, An Lingrong whispered to Zhen Huan, "Sister, we have to speed up. The Queen will definitely use this opportunity to deal with us."

"Well, we can't let her succeed." Zhen Huan nodded.

Back in the palace, An Lingrong continued to research the spices. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "I found it! There's a spice that can neutralize the effects of that hallucinogenic spice."

"That's great! Lingrong, you are so amazing!" Zhen Huan said happily.

"We have to find a way to make this spice available to everyone in the palace to prevent the Queen from taking action again," said An Lingrong.

"I have an idea. We can make this spice into sachets and distribute them to the palace maids and eunuchs in each palace." Mei Zhuang suggested.

"This is a good idea! Let's do it." Zhen Huan nodded in agreement.

So they started making sachets and secretly distributed them to the palaces. The Queen was still waiting to see them make a fool of themselves, unaware that they had already resolved the crisis.
