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

Zhen Huan responded to the Rouran princess with a smile: "Princess, you are too polite. It is our duty in this palace to take care of each other." Her eyes were gentle, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she bowed slightly.

An Lingrong also whispered, "Princess, you've just arrived. If there's anything you're not used to, please let us know." She looked at the Rouran princess gently and gently folded the handkerchief in her hand.

After the Rouran princess left, Chun'er came over and said with a frown, "Sisters, I always feel that this princess is not that simple. Although she seems amiable now, who knows what she is thinking!" Her eyes were wide open, full of doubts, and her little mouth was slightly pouted.

Zhen Huan gently tapped Chun'er's nose and said, "Chun'er, don't jump to conclusions. Let's wait and see what happens." Her movements were intimate and her eyes were filled with a hint of doting.

Mei Zhuang walked over with a serious expression: "No matter what, we still can't let our guard down. Recently I heard strange noises coming from some corners of the palace at night. I wonder if there is something fishy." Her hand unconsciously touched the sachet on her waist, and she frowned slightly.

An Lingrong's heart moved: "Strange sound? Sister Meizhuang, this is a bit suspicious. Could someone be planning something in secret?" A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "We might as well send someone to investigate at night. Xiao Yunzi, you'd better be smart and take a few reliable people to take a look." She turned her head and instructed Xiao Yunzi with a firm look.

Xiao Yunzi quickly responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will investigate carefully." He bowed respectfully, with a clever look in his eyes.

That night, Xiao Yunzi and several guards were quietly patrolling the palace. When they arrived near a secluded palace, they heard a faint sound, as if someone was talking in low voices.

Xiao Yunzi made a gesture to silence them, and everyone slowly approached. A voice said, "How are the preparations going? There can't be any mistakes."

Another voice replied, "Don't worry, my lord. Everything is going according to plan. However, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong have been very cautious recently. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."

Xiao Yunzi was shocked. This was a plot to deal with Zhen Huan and An Lingrong! He quickly retreated with the guards and reported to Zhen Huan and others.

After hearing this, Zhen Huan's face darkened: "It seems that someone is secretly plotting something again. But it is still unclear who is behind this." Her eyes were filled with anger and worry, and her hands were unconsciously clenched.

An Lingrong bit her lower lip and said, "Sister, no matter who it is, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We can start by investigating the people near this palace and see if we can find some clues." Her eyes were firm and she raised her chin slightly.

Mei Zhuang nodded: "Ling Rong is right. I think this palace is rarely visited by people on weekdays. There must be some special reason for such a conspiracy suddenly happening." She paced lightly with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

So, Zhen Huan and the others began to secretly investigate around the palace. They asked the nearby palace maids and eunuchs, but they were all hesitant and seemed to be hiding something.

Zhen Huan looked at a palace maid with a sharp gaze: "If you know something, you'd better tell the truth. If you tell even a lie, I will never forgive you!" Her voice was low but majestic, and her eyes were fixed on the palace maid.

The maid fell to her knees, crying, "Your Majesty, I... I dare not tell you. If I tell you, I will die."

An Lingrong stepped forward and softly comforted her, "If you tell the truth, we will keep you safe. Don't worry, with us here, no one dares to hurt you." Her eyes were gentle and she gently patted the maid's shoulder.

The maid hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "Your Majesty, this palace was once the residence of a deposed concubine. Lately, a mysterious person has been coming in and out. The servants don't dare ask too much, but we know that the mysterious person seems to be related to Lord Zhao from the Imperial Household Department."

Zhen Huan and the others were shocked. Lord Zhao from the Imperial Household Department? Why was he involved in this?

Zhen Huan said, "Go and find Lord Zhao. I want to ask him some questions." Her eyes were determined and her tone left no room for doubt.

After being brought here, Lord Zhao pretended to be calm and said, "Empress Wan, may I know why you summoned me?"

Zhen Huan looked straight into his eyes: "Lord Zhao, do you know about the abandoned palace? What is your connection with that mysterious man?" Her eyes were cold, as if she could see through his disguise.

Lord Zhao's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "Your Majesty, I...I don't know what you are talking about."

An Lingrong said coldly, "Master Zhao, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise you will regret it when we find out." There was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

Mei Zhuang also said, "Master Zhao, you are not allowed to play tricks in this harem." Her voice was steady and she looked at Master Zhao with dignity.

Lord Zhao, seeing he could no longer deny it, had to reveal the truth: "Your Majesty, these are remnants of Concubine Hua's gang. They intend to use the secret passages in the palace to secretly transport some contraband, and then pin the blame on you, Your Majesty, to cause you to fall from grace."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were extremely angry.

Zhen Huan shouted angrily: "These people are so stubborn! Concubine Hua has fallen, and they are still trying to stir up trouble." Her face flushed and her eyes burned with anger.

An Lingrong said, "Sister, we can't let them succeed. We must first find the secret passage and stop their plot." Her eyes were firm and she clenched her fists tightly.

After a careful search throughout the palace, they finally found the entrance to the secret passage. Zhen Huan ordered the guards to guard the entrance, ready to capture all the remaining followers of Concubine Hua.

When the remaining followers of Concubine Hua came out of the secret passage, they were all panicked when they saw the guards.

Zhen Huan stood in front of them and said coldly: "Do you think your conspiracy can succeed? Today is your doomsday." Her eyes were majestic and her posture was upright, like an inviolable god.

After the remaining followers of Concubine Hua were subdued, Zhen Huan and the others reported the incident to the Emperor. The Emperor was furious: "How dare the remaining followers of Concubine Hua act so arrogantly! Throw them all into prison and torture them to see if there are any other accomplices."

After dealing with this matter, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief. But they knew that the struggle in the harem would never stop.

One day, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were walking in the palace garden and saw a blooming peony.

Zhen Huan exclaimed softly: "This peony is so beautiful, it's a pity that the hearts of people in the harem are not as pure as these peonies." There was a hint of melancholy in her eyes, and she leaned forward slightly to smell the fragrance of the peony.

An Lingrong nodded: "Sister, as long as we stick to our original intentions, no matter how the wind and rain change, we can face it calmly." Her eyes were firm, and she smiled at Zhen Huan.

However, at this seemingly peaceful moment, a young eunuch hurried over and said, "My ladies, something bad has happened! Something has happened in the Imperial Hospital. Several doctors have been found collapsed in the pharmacy, and the medicine cabinets have been turned upside down!"

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong's faces changed, and they hurried to the Imperial Hospital. They knew that another crisis was coming...
