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

Chapter 318: Hardships and Challenges

Zhen Huan's expression was stern: "The person who poisoned me must be hiding in the palace. We must find him as soon as possible to prevent more sisters from being harmed!"

An Lingrong nodded and replied, "Huan'er, I have ordered people to conduct a thorough investigation in every palace and hall, but we still have no clue."

Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily, "What are the guards in this palace doing? They can't even find the person who poisoned them!"

Zhen Huan soothed her, "Don't worry, sister. The Shadow Cult has always been secretive, so it's inevitable that the guards may not be able to detect them for a while. Lingrong, have you made any progress in developing the antidote?"

An Lingrong sighed helplessly, "Huan'er, this poison is extremely difficult to cure. Although I have studied it day and night, I still lack several rare herbs, making it difficult to make a cure."

Zhen Huan pondered for a moment and said, "I will immediately send people to the Imperial Hospital and the folk medicine shops to look for it. I must not let the concubines suffer."

At this time, Chun'er came running over, her face full of worry: "Sisters, I heard that the illnesses of those concubines are getting worse. What should we do?"

An Lingrong comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Chun'er. We will definitely find a way to save them."

Zhen Huan continued, "Chun'er, when you're playing in the palace, please keep an eye on your sisters. If you see anything unusual, tell us immediately."

Chun'er nodded vigorously: "Chun'er understands, I will definitely pay attention to it!"

A few days later, the person sent to look for the medicine reported back, "Your Majesty, neither the Imperial Hospital nor the local pharmacies have those herbs. I heard that only an ancient temple deep in the mountains might have them."

Zhen Huan said resolutely, "Then send people to the ancient temple to ask for it. Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, we must not give up."

Hua Fei said, "I will go with you. It will be easier to have more people to look after you."

On the way to the ancient temple, An Lingrong said, "Huan'er, I feel like this road is too quiet. I'm afraid the Shadow Cult won't let us succeed so easily."

Zhen Huan clenched the handkerchief in her hand: "Everyone, be alert and don't fall into their ambush."

When they reached a forest, a group of men in black suddenly jumped out.

Concubine Hua shouted, "There's an ambush indeed! You rats, how dare you block my way!"

After saying that, Concubine Hua rushed forward and started fighting with the man in black.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong instructed the guards to respond: "Protect the herbs well, don't let them take them away!"

After a fierce fight, everyone finally repelled the man in black.

Hua Fei panted: "Humph, these people are really difficult to deal with!"

An Lingrong said, "It seems the Shadow Cult is determined not to let us get the antidote."

Zhen Huan's eyes were determined: "The more they try to stop us, the more it proves that we are on the right path. Let's speed up and rush to the ancient temple."

Everyone rushed to the ancient temple and explained their purpose to the monks in the temple.

The monk clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, this is a life-saving item. I will help you."

After obtaining the medicinal materials, An Lingrong hurried back to the palace to develop an antidote.

After the antidote was prepared, the concubines took it and their conditions gradually improved.

Zhen Huan said with relief: "Finally, we have rescued our sisters. But the threat of the Shadow Cult has not been eradicated yet, and we still need to work hard."

An Lingrong said, "Huan'er, after this incident, the Shadow Cult will undoubtedly go dormant again. We must seize this opportunity to apprehend all those in the court who are colluding with them."

Hua Fei said, "That's right! I will contact several loyal ministers right away to discuss countermeasures."

Throughout this series of events, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, and Concubine Hua worked hand in hand, overcoming difficulties and obstacles, ensuring the stability of the harem, and painting a new legendary picture. They were determined and moved forward fearlessly.
