Chapter 233 Ling Huan is in trouble and hopes for your help
Zhen Huan was extremely anxious and said resolutely, "Sister Hua Fei, please send someone to fetch the Emperor immediately. I will stay here to guard Ling Rong. Please arrange for some more people to guard the palace tightly to prevent any bad guys from taking advantage of the situation."
Hua Fei responded and left in a hurry: "Okay, I will go immediately and make sure the emperor comes quickly!"
An Lingrong lay on the couch, her face as pale as paper, but she still forced herself to say, "Huan'er, if the emperor blames you, you must not force me to marry you. This is my fate."
Zhen Huan scolded, "Lingrong, stop talking nonsense! You and I are sisters, and we should share weal and woe. Prince Shen is so audacious, the Emperor will certainly not forgive him."
Zhen Huan held An Lingrong's hand tightly and soothed her gently, "Just rest and conserve your energy. No matter what happens, I will ensure that you and the child are safe."
At this moment, Prince Shen was in a secret room in his mansion, his face gloomy as he sternly addressed his subordinates, "That Eunuch Li is truly useless! Now that the truth has been revealed, we must not allow An Lingrong to give birth safely, and we must not allow her to inform the Emperor. Immediately, send someone to infiltrate the palace, and do whatever it takes..."
The subordinate looked embarrassed and hesitated, "Your Highness, the palace is heavily guarded. Besides, Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua are already on guard. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
Prince Shen shouted angrily, "I will not care! If we don't eliminate this threat, all our plans will be in vain. Just do your best. When you succeed, you will be rewarded handsomely."
On Zhen Huan's side, the guards came to report the surrounding situation from time to time. She became more and more anxious and just hoped that the emperor would arrive soon.
An Lingrong's abdominal pain became more severe, like a tidal wave. She bit her lower lip tightly, and cold sweat soaked her hair. "Huan'er, I'm afraid I can't hold on..."
Zhen Huan hurriedly wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief and gently soothed her, "Lingrong, you are a very strong person and will definitely get through this. Think of your child. You must persevere for her."
Hua Fei led the Emperor hurriedly over. As soon as the Emperor entered the door, he asked, "How is Concubine An?"
Zhen Huan hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty, Lingrong is in critical condition. This matter involves Prince Shen. I hope Your Majesty will take a clear look at it."
The emperor frowned and asked, "Prince Shen? Why would he want to murder my offspring?"
Zhen Huan briefly explained the whole story to the Emperor, who angrily declared, "I will not let you off easily!"
An Lingrong heard the emperor's voice and called out weakly, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor came to the bedside and held her hand: "My beloved concubine has suffered a lot. I am here, please rest assured."
Just when they thought they had found some peace, the guards reported urgently: "Your Majesty, a group of men in black have broken into the harem and are heading for Concubine An's palace!"
The emperor shouted angrily, "I want to see who is so arrogant! Guards, resist with all your might!"
Concubine Hua also shouted: "Come here, my guards will also attack together, and will not let them get close at all!"
In an instant, shouts and cries of killing shook the sky. Zhen Huan stayed by An Lingrong's bed, listening nervously to the noise outside.
An Lingrong was in pain and fear, her breath was weak: "Huan'er, when will this disaster end..."
Zhen Huan said firmly, "Lingrong, don't be afraid. With the Emperor and me here, they won't succeed."
After a fierce battle, the guards finally repelled the men in black.
The emperor's expression was stern: "I will immediately conduct a thorough investigation into Prince Shen. This matter will not be tolerated."
Amidst the chaos and danger, An Lingrong gave birth to a little princess with great difficulty. When the baby cried, Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua both breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhen Huan looked at the little princess in the cradle and said with a smile, "Lingrong, this little princess is so cute and beautiful. She must be a blessed person."
A trace of relief blossomed on An Lingrong's pale face: "Huan'er, I'm lucky to have you. This is so difficult. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have been able to get through it."
Hua Fei also approached: "Indeed, the arrival of the little princess has also added a bit of joy to the harem. However, the matter of Prince Shen, the emperor will definitely handle it properly, and we must not slack off."
The Emperor gazed at the little princess, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This girl was born on the fifteenth day of the eighth month. The moon on the fifteenth day is at its brightest, as if the light of wisdom is shining everywhere. I have named her Xinyue Princess, hoping that she will bring good fortune to my harem and even the whole country."
Upon hearing the happy news, the Empress Dowager, accompanied by the maids and palace maids, arrived in person. Seeing the beautifully dressed little girl, her eyes and eyebrows showing signs of intelligence, the Empress Dowager beamed with joy and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, this girl was born on the 15th day of the eighth month, a very auspicious date. It was said in the past that the full moon on the first day of the lunar month, like a perfect jade, is an auspicious time for the birth of a boy; but the bright and clear radiance of the 15th, like silver light scattering across the heavens and earth, is the perfect time for the birth of a girl. This girl is a gift from heaven, and her brilliance of intelligence and wisdom will surely shine throughout the palace, and her blessings and grace will also benefit the country. The name of Xinyue Gege is very auspicious. May she have smooth sailing in the future and bring prosperity and good fortune to our dynasty."
The Emperor bowed his head and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely true. I, your son, also hope that this girl will bring great blessings and prosperity to our dynasty."
However, although Prince Shen suffered a temporary setback, he refused to give up and was still secretly planning a new strategy in an attempt to make a comeback. Ling Huan and others also knew that they still needed to be vigilant in the future to protect this hard-won peace and new life.
