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

Chapter 314 Ling Huan breaks through and faces new dangers

Zhen Huan whispered, "Although we are safe for now, the hidden dangers have not been eliminated. We still need to investigate the source of the rumors."

An Lingrong nodded: "Huan'er is absolutely right. I have already sent people to keep an eye on those suspicious people."

Concubine Hua said, "It's best not to let me catch those little minions, or I will not let them off easily!"

As they were speaking, a eunuch came to report, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Emperor has heard of the recent rumors in the palace and is furious. He has ordered a thorough investigation."

Zhen Huan frowned slightly: "Although the emperor's move is good, we cannot rely entirely on the emperor. We must have a plan to deal with it ourselves."

An Lingrong said, "I thought we could get some more information from the new concubines. Maybe we could get some new clues."

Hua Fei replied, "Okay, let's do as Ling Rong says. I want to see who is behind this!"

They found an excuse to summon the new concubines to the palace.

Zhen Huan asked in a gentle voice, "Sisters, there have been many rumors in the palace recently. Have you heard anything?"

A concubine said timidly, "Your Majesty, I heard that it was an old maid who spread the news throughout the harem, but the old maid's identity is mysterious and I don't know the details."

An Lingrong pressed on, "Then do you remember what the old nanny's characteristics were?"

The concubine thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the old woman walks with a limp and her accent sounds like someone from the suburbs of the capital."

Concubine Hua immediately ordered, "Go and investigate! Bring all the suspicious old maids from the outskirts of the capital to me!"

After everyone dispersed, Chun'er came running over with a sachet in her hand: "Sisters, this is a sachet I found in the Imperial Garden. It has a strange pattern embroidered on it that I have never seen before."

Zhen Huan took the sachet and examined it carefully. "The needlework on this sachet is unique, and the incense is unusual. I'm afraid it's related to the rumor."

An Lingrong sniffed the sachet and said, "Huan'er, this fragrance has an evil smell, as if it has been cursed."

Concubine Hua's eyes widened. "Casting a spell? There are people in this palace who use such evil magic!"

Zhen Huan said calmly, "Don't panic yet. Let's find a reliable person to see what this sachet is all about."

They found an old maid who was quite famous in the palace. After seeing the sachet, the maid's face changed drastically. "My ladies, this sachet belongs to the Shadow Cult. This cult is good at using incense to cast spells and bewitch people."

An Lingrong was shocked and said, "The Shadow Cult? Didn't it come to an end? Why are they appearing in the palace again?"

The old nanny shook her head: "I don't know either. But if the Shadow Cult reappears, I'm afraid the harem will be in chaos again."

Zhen Huan said in a deep voice, "No matter what, we can't let the Shadow Cult succeed. We must find a way to break the curse of the sachet as soon as possible and stop their conspiracy."

Concubine Hua said, "I just don't believe this evil sect can defeat us!"

So, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Hua Fei began to look for a way to break the spell. They searched through ancient books and consulted the capable people in the palace, and finally found a formula that could restrain the Shadow Cult's spice spell.

An Lingrong hurriedly prepared the spices: "Huan'er, as long as we mix these spices and add some special herbs, we should be able to break the curse of the sachet."

Zhen Huan watched An Lingrong busy at work and said, "Lingrong, thank you for your hard work. If we can successfully crack this, we will definitely expose the Shadow Cult's conspiracy."

Concubine Hua said, "That's right. Let them know that this harem is not a place where they can do whatever they want!"

When An Lingrong prepared the spices and was about to break the spell, a group of men in black suddenly broke in.

The leading figure in black shouted, "Do you think you can easily break the spell of our Shadow Cult? That's wishful thinking!"

Concubine Hua angrily said, "How dare you, you daring thieves, break into my palace!"

Zhen Huan said calmly, "Why are you stirring up trouble in the palace? What is your purpose?"

The man in black sneered: "Humph, when you die, you won't have to know!"

After that, the men in black attacked. Although Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Concubine Hua fought hard, the men in black were still more powerful.

At the critical moment, the guards arrived and started a fierce battle with the men in black.

Zhen Huan took the opportunity to say to An Lingrong, "Lingrong, quickly use the spices to break the curse!"

An Lingrong lit the incense, muttering something to herself. As the smoke from the incense spread, the black-clad men gradually revealed their weaknesses, and the guards took the opportunity to repel them.

Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, the crisis has been temporarily resolved, but the Shadow Cult will definitely not let this go."

An Lingrong said, "Huan'er, we must strengthen our defenses. Who knows what schemes and tricks they will use next time they come."

Hua Fei said: "I will have the guards patrol day and night, and will not let them take advantage of the opportunity again!"

In this new crisis, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Hua Fei once again join hands to fight against the conspiracy of the Shadow Cult with wisdom and courage. Although there are dangers everywhere, their friendship becomes stronger in the hardships. In this dangerous place of the harem, they stick to their original aspirations, move forward fearlessly, and continue their legendary journey. Although the road ahead is confusing, they resolutely embark on the journey and meet unknown challenges with an indomitable attitude.
