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

Zhen Huan held her hand and patted it gently: "Lingrong, there is no need to thank each other between sisters. We support each other, which is what we should do. But the harem is full of twists and turns, and we still need to be careful." She frowned slightly, a hint of worry revealed in her eyes, and her gaze unconsciously swept around.

Mei Zhuang walked forward and sighed softly: "Yes, the tranquility of the harem is just an appearance, and the waves in the dark may surge in at any time." There was a bit of vicissitudes in her eyes. She raised her head slightly and looked into the distance.

Chun'er was jumping around and said with a smile, "Sisters, don't always be so sad! I am here to bring you joy. No matter what conspiracy or tricks they have, we should not be afraid!" She waved her little fists, an innocent smile on her face, and her eyes were full of trust in her two sisters.

Zhen Huan looked at Chun'er and smiled dotingly: "Chun'er, your innocent and naive nature has brought a bit of life to this dull harem."

An Lingrong also smiled and nodded: "Chun'er is right. We can't always be disturbed by those eyes in the dark."

A few days later, news came from the palace that a grand flower-viewing banquet was to be held and all the concubines were invited to attend.

After receiving the news, Zhen Huan frowned slightly: "This flower viewing banquet came so suddenly, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

An Lingrong's heart moved: "Sister, do you suspect there is a conspiracy behind this flower viewing banquet?"

Mei Zhuang thought for a moment and said, "Whether there's a conspiracy or not, we have to go. Let's go and see for ourselves."

Chun Er clapped her hands excitedly: "Flower viewing banquet! There must be a lot of delicious cakes and beautiful flowers. I want to go, I want to go!"

On the day of the flower viewing banquet, the imperial garden was ablaze with flowers, and the palace maids and eunuchs were busy arranging the garden. Concubines arrived one after another, exchanging pleasantries while secretly observing each other.

Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, Mei Zhuang and Chun Er came together. As soon as they sat down, they felt some strange gazes.

Concubine Xia walked over with a twisted waist, a sarcastic smile on her face: "Oh, isn't this Concubine Wan, Concubine An and Concubine Hui? And Concubine Chun, it's really lively today." Her eyes were full of jealousy and disdain, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of sneer.

Zhen Huan's expression was calm: "Mrs. Xia seems to be in a good mood today."

Xia Changzai snorted, "Seeing certain people naturally makes me feel bad."

An Lingrong lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Xia Changzai is still so sarcastic and mean."

Chun Er couldn't help but say: "How can you be so rude!"

Mei Zhuang gently tugged at Chun Er's sleeve: "Chun Er, don't bother with her."

At this time, the Queen came slowly with the support of the palace maids, with a gentle smile on her face: "Sisters, please enjoy today's flower-viewing banquet." But her eyes lingered on Zhen Huan and others for a moment, and a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed across them.

Everyone bowed and said, "Long live the Queen."

The flower viewing banquet began, and everyone was enjoying the flowers and tasting the delicious food. Suddenly, a young palace maid walked by with a plate of cakes and accidentally bumped into Chun'er, causing the cakes to spill all over the floor.

The little maid was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, Concubine Chun, I didn't mean it!"

Chun'er was about to speak when she smelled a strange odor. An Lingrong also noticed it, and her face changed: "There's something wrong with this cake!"

Zhen Huan immediately stood up and said, "Come here, take this maid away!"

The Queen pretended to be surprised: "What's going on? It's just a nice flower viewing banquet, please don't let anything go wrong."

Mei Zhuang sneered, "Empress, I'm afraid someone is deliberately instigating this maid to cause trouble at this flower viewing banquet."

Xia Changzai fanned the flames: "Maybe some people want to take this opportunity to frame others."

Zhen Huan ignored Concubine Xia's words. She looked at the captured maid and said, "Tell me, who ordered you to poison the cakes?"

The maid cried and said, "My lady, a mysterious person gave me this plate of cakes and told me that if I accidentally spilled it on someone at the banquet, it would be fine. I really didn't know it was poisonous!"

An Lingrong stepped forward and asked, "Can you see the mysterious man clearly?"

The maid shook her head: "I didn't see clearly, I just saw that he was wearing black clothes."

Zhen Huan's eyes glared, "It seems the person behind this is trying to stir up trouble at this flower viewing banquet and make us kill each other."

Mei Zhuang said, "Sister, we have to be careful. I'm afraid this flower viewing party can't continue."

Zhen Huan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this flower viewing banquet has been deliberately sabotaged. I dare not continue and will take my leave."

A trace of displeasure flashed across the queen's face: "In that case, then all the sisters may disperse."

Back at Zhen Huan's palace, everyone began to discuss the matter.

An Lingrong asked, "Could this mysterious man in black be an accomplice of those who plotted earlier?"

Mei Zhuang said, "It's very likely that they have been looking for an opportunity to deal with us, and this flower viewing banquet is their chance."

Chun Er said angrily: "These people are so abominable, we must find them!"

Zhen Huan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's start with this palace maid and see if we can find some clues."

So they interrogated the palace maid again, and the palace maid recalled that the mysterious man had a unique jade pendant on him.

An Lingrong's eyes lit up: "This jade pendant may be the key. We can secretly investigate in the palace to see who has such a jade pendant."

During the investigation, they found a eunuch beside Concubine Hua wearing a similar jade pendant.

Zhen Huan and others came to Concubine Hua's palace.

When Concubine Hua saw them, her face darkened: "What are you doing here?"

Zhen Huan went straight to the point: "Empress Hua, do you recognize this jade pendant?" She took out the jade pendant pattern described by the palace maid.

Concubine Hua took a look and was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface: "I have never seen this before. Where did it come from?"

An Lingrong said, "This jade pendant was found on a mysterious person who was involved in the poisoning at the flower viewing banquet. And that mysterious person seems to be related to the eunuchs around the Empress."

Concubine Hua sneered, "You are framing me! How could I do such a despicable thing!"

Mei Zhuang said, "Empress Hua, we'll know if this is a false accusation once we investigate."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the emperor heard about this and rushed over.

The emperor's face was gloomy. "What's going on? You're causing trouble at the flower viewing banquet, and you're trying to shift the blame?"

Zhen Huan stepped forward and reported the entire incident to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, we have absolutely no intention of falsely accusing you, but this clue points to Concubine Hua, and we must investigate."

Hua Fei knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! Someone must have deliberately framed me and wanted to destroy the relationship between me and Your Majesty."

The Emperor looked at Concubine Hua, then at Zhen Huan and the others: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Please stop arguing."

After an investigation by the Emperor, he discovered that the eunuchs around Concubine Hua had been bribed. The mysterious man used his jade pendant to deliberately frame Concubine Hua, hoping to provoke a fight between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua, while the mastermind behind the scenes was still hiding in the dark.

After Zhen Huan learned the truth, she sighed, "The conspiracies and intrigues in the harem are really one after another. We still can't let our guard down."

An Lingrong said, "Sister, as long as we stick to our original intentions and don't be swayed by these conspiracies, we will be able to get through this safely."

Mei Zhuang nodded: "That's right, as sisters, we are united and can break iron with strength."

Chun Er smiled and said, "Yes, no matter who it is, we are not afraid!"

However, deep in the harem, the mastermind hiding in the dark is plotting a new conspiracy. Danger is still quietly approaching Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and others. How will they deal with this unknown challenge?
