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

"Sister, this time it was really dangerous!" Chun'er said to Zhen Huan with lingering fear, with a trace of fear still remaining in her big eyes.

"Yes, Chun'er, this harem is like a man-eating vortex. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed up." Zhen Huan responded with emotion, her eyes full of fatigue.

"However, we were able to escape danger this time, which can be considered a blessing in disguise." An Lingrong said with a hint of relief in her tone.

"Hmph! That vicious woman, Concubine Cao, is so despicable! She should be banished to the cold palace!" Chun'er stomped her feet angrily.

"Chun'er, don't be angry. Concubine Cao has received the punishment she deserves, but we can't be careless. We don't know how many eyes are staring at us in the harem." Zhen Huan stroked Chun'er's head and comforted her.

"Sister is right. We have to find a way to consolidate our position. We can't be so passive anymore." An Lingrong said with a frown.

"But what should we do?" Chun'er asked with her head tilted.

"We can make friends with other neutral ladies and expand our alliance," Zhen Huan said thoughtfully. "Also, we must be more cautious in front of the emperor and not give him any handle."

"Sister Zhen Huan, it's easy for you to say that, but the emperor's mind is too hard to guess." A young lady came over. It turned out to be Concubine Xin.

"Xin Changzai, you are here. You are right, the emperor's mind is indeed unpredictable, but we can't give up just because of this." Zhen Huan said.

"Yes, Concubine Xin, we can only try our best to do our best. You have also seen this time how terrible Concubine Cao's conspiracy is. If we are not united, we will be easily defeated one by one." An Lingrong said.

"I know, that's why I came to you. I want to work with you to deal with the dangers in the harem." Xin Changzai said firmly.

"Xin Changzai, your words give us more strength!" Zhen Huan held Xin Changzai's hand.

Just then, a young eunuch ran over. "Miss Zhen Huan, the Emperor summons you to the Yangxin Palace."

"Your Majesty? What could be happening so suddenly?" Zhen Huan was a little confused.

"Sister, you should go quickly. Maybe it's a good thing." Chun'er said.

Zhen Huan arrived at the Yangxin Palace and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Zhen Huan, get up. I'm looking for you today because I want to talk to you." The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gentle expression.

"What does Your Majesty want to talk to me about?" Zhen Huan asked.

"I heard that you have suffered a lot in the palace recently. Have you suffered any grievances?" the emperor asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, I have no grievances. It's just that there are constant disputes in the harem. I just hope to live in harmony with other ladies." Zhen Huan replied.

"I like your personality. But the harem is complicated, and you must know how to protect yourself." said the emperor.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will." Zhen Huan said gratefully.

After coming out of the Yangxin Palace, Zhen Huan returned to her residence and told An Lingrong and Chun'er about the situation.

"It seems that the emperor still cares about my sister." An Lingrong said with a smile.

"Well, but this will also make other ladies more jealous of us, so we have to be more careful." Zhen Huan said.

A few days later, news came from the palace that the emperor was going out of the palace to pray for blessings and would bring several ladies with him.

"Sister, will we be there?" Chun'er asked expectantly.

"I don't know, but if we can go, we can temporarily leave this dangerous place." Zhen Huan said.

Soon, the list was announced, and Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Chun'er were among them.

"Great! We can go out for a walk!" Chun'er jumped up excitedly.

On the day of the trip, Zhen Huan and others, along with other ladies, got on a carriage and drove out of the palace.

"The air outside is fresher than in the palace!" Chun'er lifted the curtain and looked outside excitedly.

"Chun'er, be careful and don't fall." Zhen Huan warned.

Arriving at the place of blessing, it was a place of beautiful scenery, tranquility and peace. Zhen Huan and others followed the others in praying.

"I hope there will be less disputes in the harem and everyone can be safe." Zhen Huan prayed silently.

After the blessing ceremony, everyone was playing around nearby. Suddenly, An Lingrong accidentally sprained her ankle.

"Ah! My feet!" An Lingrong cried out in pain.

"Sister Lingrong, how are you?" Chun'er ran over hurriedly.

"It hurts so much, I think I twisted it." An Lingrong frowned.

"Hurry, let's help you go back." Zhen Huan said.

At this moment, a young lady said sarcastically, "Humph, how delicate! You can even sprain your ankle after walking such a short distance. Are you deliberately trying to attract the emperor's attention?"

"You! How can you say that? Sister Lingrong is really injured!" Chun'er retorted angrily.

"Hmph, who knows? Maybe he's just pretending." The young lady insisted.

"Don't slander us! We don't have as many thoughts as you do!" Zhen Huan said angrily.

"Okay, stop arguing. Let's get An to agree to go back first." said an elderly nanny.

When she returned to her residence, An Lingrong's feet were very swollen.

"Lingrong, how are you? Are you in a lot of pain?" Zhen Huan asked with concern.

"Sister, I'm fine. I'm just worried about delaying my trip." An Lingrong said while trying to endure the pain.

"Don't worry about that. The most important thing is to take good care of your injuries." Zhen Huan comforted her.

After the emperor learned that An Lingrong was injured, he also came to visit.

"An Da Ying, how are you?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for making you worry, but I'm fine," An Lingrong replied.

"You should take good care of your injuries and rest well during this prayer time," said the emperor.

While An Lingrong was recovering from her injuries, Zhen Huan and Chun'er took on the responsibility of taking care of her.

"Sister, this time it's all thanks to you and Chun'er." An Lingrong said gratefully.

"We are sisters, why are we saying these things? But that young lady was too harsh." Zhen Huan said with a frown.

"Sister, don't be angry with that kind of person. It's not worth it." An Lingrong advised.

After the blessing ceremony, everyone returned to the palace. But as soon as they got back, trouble arose again.

Rumors spread from somewhere in the palace, saying that An Lingrong sprained her ankle on purpose to gain the emperor's sympathy, and that Zhen Huan and Chun'er helped her conceal it.

"Where did this rumor come from? It really makes me angry!" Chun'er's face turned red with anger.

"Someone must have done this on purpose. We have to find a way to clarify it," Zhen Huan said.

"But how are we going to clarify this time?" An Lingrong was a little worried.

"We can ask the people who were present at the time to testify, as well as the imperial physician who treated you. They can all prove that you were really injured." Zhen Huan said.

So, they started to clarify their actions again. After some efforts, they finally silenced those gossips again.

"Sister, I'm really exhausted this time. When will this struggle in the harem end?" Chun'er said tiredly.

"Chun'er, as long as we are still in this harem, it will not stop. But we can't be afraid, we must face it bravely." Zhen Huan encouraged.

"Well, we can't let those bad guys succeed." An Lingrong clenched her fists.

However, before one problem was solved, another one arose. The Queen suddenly summoned all the ladies.

"Empress, I wonder why you have summoned us this time?" Zhen Huan asked.

"I heard that you guys are constantly quarreling with each other during this time of going out of the palace to pray for blessings. How can this be disgraceful? I hope you can live in harmony and not cause any more trouble." The queen said seriously.

"Empress, we have always wanted to live in harmony. Someone is deliberately stirring up trouble," Zhen Huan said.

"Hmph, no matter what, I don't want to hear anything like this again, otherwise, I will never let you off easily." The queen warned.

After leaving the Queen, Zhen Huan and others felt even more pressured.

"Sister, the Queen is warning us." An Lingrong said.

"No matter what, we can't let others catch us. We can only act more cautiously." Zhen Huan said helplessly.

In this harem, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Chun'er are like small boats in stormy waves, trying hard to maintain their balance and moving forward in an unknown direction, not knowing when the next challenge will come.

"We have to think carefully about how to avoid these unnecessary disputes." Zhen Huan said thoughtfully.

"Sister, maybe we can do more good deeds and let everyone see our kindness." Chun'er suggested.

"Chun'er, this is a good idea. We can start by helping the palace maids and eunuchs." An Lingrong said.

"Okay, let's do it. I hope it can change the atmosphere in the harem." Zhen Huan nodded.

So, they started a new action, trying to find a bit of warmth and peace in this complicated harem, but the water in this harem was too deep, and every step they took was full of hardships.
