The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of An Lingrong: Counterattack to Become the Queen Mother
Chapter 9: Kindness and Conspiracy in the Harem
"Sister, where do we start doing good things?" Chun'er asked Zhen Huan with her big eyes blinking.
"We can start by sending some common medicines to the palace maids and eunuchs. They work hard every day and it is inevitable that they will get injured." Zhen Huan said.
"That's a good idea! Let's get ready!" Chun'er jumped up excitedly.
"Chun'er, don't be anxious. We have to do it more carefully and not just go through the motions." An Lingrong reminded.
"Sister Lingrong is right. We must let everyone know that we are sincere." Zhen Huan nodded.
So, the three of them began to prepare medicine and some small items. Zhen Huan took Liu Zhu and Huan Bi with her to sort and pack the various herbs.
"Liu Zhu, make sure to pack more of these medicines for treating injuries and bruises, as they often bump into things." Zhen Huan reminded.
"Miss, don't worry! I have packed everything." Liu Zhu replied with a smile.
An Lingrong was not idle in the Yanx Palace either, tidying up with Baojuan.
"Baojuan, put these handkerchiefs and sachets in as well. We made them ourselves," said An Lingrong.
"My lady, you are so kind! The palace maids and eunuchs will definitely be grateful." Baojuan praised.
Chun'er was humming a little tune in her own residence while preparing.
"My lady, are you so happy?" Chun'er's maid asked.
"We are going to do good things! How can we not be happy? This harem is too cold, we want to make it warmer!" Chun'er said happily.
After preparation, they began to distribute it in the palace.
"You have worked hard these days. Take these medicines and small items for emergency use." Zhen Huan said to a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
"Mistress Zhen Huan, you are such a kind person!" A young eunuch said with emotion, "No one has ever been so kind to us."
"It's not easy for everyone. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell us." Zhen Huan said with a smile.
An Lingrong is also distributing them.
"This is the spice bag I prepared. Putting it in the house can repel insects and calm the mind." An Lingrong handed the spice bag to the palace maids.
"An, you are so kind! You are like a fairy!" The palace maids thanked her one after another.
Chun'er was even more enthusiastic and held the hands of the palace maids and eunuchs.
"This sachet is for you. Isn't it beautiful? And these candies are so sweet!" Chun'er said with a smile.
"Mistress Chun'er, you are just like our own sister!" The palace maids and eunuchs all smiled happily.
However, their good deeds were not recognized by everyone. In a gloomy palace, Concubine Hua and Songzhi were talking.
"Hmph! Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Chun'er, these bitches, think they can win people's hearts by doing some good deeds?" Concubine Hua's eyes were wide with anger.
"Your Majesty, they want to improve their reputation. We can't let them succeed." Songzhi said.
"What do you have in mind?" Hua Fei asked.
"Your Majesty, we can have someone tamper with those medicines and items, and then put the blame on them." Song Zhi said with a sinister smile.
"Okay! Let's do it! Let them suffer!" Hua Fei said viciously.
At the same time, Concubine Qi was also in her own palace, frowning and saying to the maids around her: "Zhen Huan and the others are acting like this, aren't they just trying to show that they are different? When will it be their turn to be in the limelight in this harem?"
"My lady, should we do something too?" asked the palace maid.
"Hmph, let's wait and see. If there is a chance, we can't let them get too proud." A hint of jealousy flashed in Concubine Qi's eyes.
A few days later, a palace maid suddenly fell ill with serious symptoms.
"My lady, something bad has happened! Xiao Cui suddenly became very ill. She used the medicine that my lady Zhen Huan sent her!" A palace maid ran to tell Zhen Huan in a panic.
"What? Take me to see it!" Zhen Huan was shocked.
When Zhen Huan arrived, the imperial physician was also there.
"Doctor, how is Xiao Cui?" Zhen Huan asked anxiously.
"My lady, Xiao Cui's symptoms seem like she has been poisoned, but the poison is very strange. I need further diagnosis," said the imperial physician.
"Poisoned? How could this happen?" Zhen Huan frowned.
At this time, An Lingrong and Chun'er also came.
"Sister, what's going on? Did someone tamper with the medicine?" An Lingrong asked.
"It's very likely that we sent the medicine with good intentions, but we didn't expect someone to take advantage of this." Zhen Huan said angrily.
"Hmph! It must have been done by those bad guys! We can't let them go!" Chun'er clenched his fists.
The news quickly spread throughout the harem, and the ladies were talking about it.
"Zhen Huan and the others are so cruel. They actually poisoned the medicine!" said a young lady.
"That's right, I thought they were good people, but it turns out they are hypocrites!" another lady agreed.
Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Chun'er were blamed by everyone and were under tremendous pressure.
"Sister, what should we do now? Everyone has misunderstood us." Chun'er was about to cry.
"We can't panic. We must find out the truth." Zhen Huan said firmly.
"Yes, we have to start from the source of these drugs." An Lingrong said.
They began to investigate the production process and people involved in the drug production.
"Liu Zhu, can you recall if there were any suspicious people when the medicine was being made?" Zhen Huan asked.
"Miss, I didn't notice it, but we are very careful during the production process." Liu Zhu replied.
"What about the procurement of medicinal materials? Are there any problems?" An Lingrong asked.
"The medicinal materials are purchased normally from the Imperial Medical Bureau, so there should be no problem." Huanbi said.
Just when they were at a loss, Concubine Jing arrived.
"Zhen Huan, I heard about your story and I think there is something fishy about it," said Concubine Jing.
"Empress Jing, we also feel that someone is framing us, but we just can't find any evidence." Zhen Huan said helplessly.
"Have you ever thought that this might have been done by someone who has a grudge against you? For example, Concubine Hua." Jingpin reminded.
"Concubine Hua? Yes, it's very likely her!" A gleam of light flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes.
"We can start with the people around Concubine Hua and see if we can find any clues." Jingpin said.
At this time, Concubine Qi was fanning the flames.
"Hmph, maybe Zhen Huan and the others did it themselves, and now they are just looking for a scapegoat." Concubine Qi said to the lady beside her.
"Empress Qi is right. We can't trust them so easily." The young lady responded.
While Zhen Huan and others are investigating Concubine Hua, they also have to deal with Concubine Qi's cold words and the suspicions of other ladies, and the situation becomes increasingly difficult.
Finally, one of the young eunuchs could not stand the pressure and confessed.
"It was Concubine Hua who asked us to tamper with the medicine. There's nothing we can do!" the little eunuch cried.
"Hmph! It's indeed her!" Zhen Huan said angrily.
"Let's go to the Queen now and tell her the truth." An Lingrong said.
They brought the little eunuch to the Queen's palace.
"Empress, we have found out the truth. It was Concubine Hua who poisoned the medicine we sent and framed us." Zhen Huan said.
"Is this really true? Concubine Hua, you've gone too far!" The Queen was furious.
"Empress, I am innocent! They framed me!" Concubine Hua argued.
"Hmph! There are witnesses and evidence, and you still dare to quibble? I can't let you off easily! I will punish you with house arrest for three months and make you copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings!" The queen ordered.
"Empress, you can't do this to me!" Hua Fei cried.
"Drag him away!" said the Queen sternly.
Zhen Huan and others cleared their grievances again.
"Sister, this time it's really thanks to Concubine Jing's reminder." Chun'er said.
"Yes, we should also thank this little eunuch for having a change of heart." An Lingrong said.
"This incident also makes us understand that it is not easy to do good things in the harem, so we must be more careful." Zhen Huan said with emotion.
After this incident, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Chun'er's reputation in the harem became even better.
"Mistress Zhen Huan and the others are such good people. They still wanted to help everyone even when they were framed." said the palace maids.
"Yes, we can't believe those rumors anymore," the eunuchs also said.
But Concubine Qi was not reconciled.
"Hmph, they are lucky this time. Don't think they can gain a foothold in the harem just like that." Concubine Qi said unwillingly.
The good deeds of Zhen Huan and others have been recognized by more people, but they know that the struggle in the harem will never stop.
"Sister, we must continue to do good things in the future and not give up because of these setbacks." Chun'er said.
"Yes, Chun'er, we must use our kindness to fight against the darkness in the harem." Zhen Huan said firmly.
"Well, we need to be more united, no matter what difficulties we encounter," An Lingrong said.
In this harem, their story continues, and new challenges and opportunities await them.
"Sister, I heard that the palace is going to hold a lantern festival. We can go and participate. Maybe we can gain something new." An Lingrong said.
"Lantern Festival? That must be very lively. We can prepare well." Zhen Huan's eyes were full of anticipation.
"That's great! I love the hustle and bustle the most!" Chun'er cheered.
