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

Chapter 239: Dangerous Situation and Solution

After Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua returned to the palace, they had a secret conversation in the inner room.

Zhen Huan's expression was solemn. "Sister, since Prince Shen has a trick up his sleeve, we should take precautions early. The affairs of the martial arts sects should not be taken lightly either."

Concubine Hua nodded: "Huan'er, you are thoughtful and considerate. Tell me, what should we do next?"

Zhen Huan pondered for a moment. "First, get some more information from the troublemaker. I've already ordered someone to investigate their background. Once they find the information, perhaps we can find a breakthrough. Furthermore, Doctor Wen mentioned the martial arts sects. I want him to investigate further to see if he can find any concrete evidence of their collusion with Prince Shen."

Hua Fei said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. But during this process, the safety of Xinyue Gege and Lingrong must not be compromised."

Zhen Huan said, "I have already assigned additional personnel to guard Lingrong's palace and have told her to be extremely careful. Sister, don't let your guard down either."

At this time, An Lingrong was in the palace, looking at Princess Xinyue with a heart full of worry. She said to the maid beside her, "Go and ask if there are any new developments between Concubine Xi and Concubine Hua. I'm always feeling uneasy."

The maid took the order and left. An Lingrong gently stroked the princess's face: "Xinyue, mother will never let you fall into danger."

Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua went to the prison again. Zhen Huan said gently to the troublemaker who was hesitant to speak, "If you can tell me more, I will not only ensure the safety of your family, but also promise you a sum of money so that you can live a worry-free life."

The troublemaker was moved and whispered, "My Lady, I once heard the master's men mention a place that seems to be their base, in an abandoned village on the outskirts of the city. A mysterious person often appears there."

Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua exchanged a glance, and Concubine Hua said, "Let's go and take a look at that manor!"

The two of them, along with their guards, quietly went to a village on the outskirts of the city. The village was eerie and overgrown with weeds.

Concubine Hua frowned: "This place looks like it has an evil aura."

Zhen Huan said, "Everyone, be careful."

Everyone entered the manor, but found it empty. Zhen Huan wondered, "Are we too late? Or have they noticed something?"

Concubine Hua looked around and found some fresh footprints on the ground: "Huan'er, someone just left here not long ago."

As they were talking, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out and surrounded them.

The leading black-clad figure sneered, "Noble Consort Xi, Consort Hua, what do you think you can find out? Today is the day you die!"

Zhen Huan said calmly, "Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously in front of me!"

The man in black didn't answer and attacked with his sword. The guards hurried to resist.

Hua Fei angrily said: "I want to see what you are capable of!"

Suddenly, swords flashed and shouts of killing rose up. Zhen Huan dodged the attacks while observing her surroundings, looking for a way to break out.

Concubine Hua was extremely brave and was in the middle of a fierce battle with the man in black: "Huan'er, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Zhen Huan was moved: "Sister, let's fight side by side!"

Just as everyone was locked in a bitter battle, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. It turned out that the Emperor had learned that Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua had come here, and was worried about their safety, so he sent reinforcements.

The men in black saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat. Zhen Huan shouted, "Don't let them get away!"

The reinforcements and guards worked together to repel the men in black.

Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your timely rescue. Otherwise, we would have been in great danger today."

Hua Fei said, "Humph! These people must be ordered by Prince Shen. We can't just let it go like this."

Zhen Huan nodded: "After returning to the palace, we will make detailed plans. We must completely crush the conspiracy of Prince Shen and this Jianghu sect."

However, although Prince Shen's action failed, he was not discouraged. He rearranged the layout in his mansion and turned his attention to other weak points in the palace. A new crisis seemed to be brewing quietly, and Ling Huan and others also knew that the road ahead was still full of thorns. They needed to stay vigilant at all times to protect the peace and future of themselves and the people they cherish in this dangerous court struggle.
