Chapter 300 Ling Huan is determined to guard the palace
Seeing that the Emperor remained silent, Zhen Huan said softly, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the peace of the palace and the harmony between the two countries. I hope Your Majesty will consider it carefully."
The Emperor nodded slightly. "Hanhuan, I understand the seriousness of this matter. However, the hidden circumstances behind this matter are not yet fully understood. I need time to consider."
An Lingrong said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. I, your concubine, only hope to share your worries, help you investigate this matter thoroughly, and maintain peace in the harem."
Concubine Hua also said, "Your Majesty, I will not allow those with ulterior motives to act recklessly in the palace. I will fully assist Your Majesty."
After the emperor left, Chun'er frowned and muttered, "What should I do? The emperor hasn't said what to do."
Mei Zhuang comforted her, "Don't worry, Chun'er. The Emperor has already made up his mind and will surely make proper arrangements. Let's just take care of our own affairs first and don't panic."
Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "Sister Meizhuang is right. Lingrong, why don't we go and test the princess's opinion again? Perhaps we can find something new."
An Lingrong responded, "Huan'er is absolutely right. Let's go now."
The two came to the place where the princess was imprisoned.
Zhen Huan spoke first: "Your Highness, you are in this situation now. If you can confess your feelings, there may be a chance of recovery."
The princess snorted coldly, "Zhen Huan, stop being so hypocritical! I'm not wrong, why should I be honest?"
An Lingrong advised, "Princess, if you continue to be stubborn, you will only put yourself in a more difficult situation. Your plan has already been exposed, so why continue to persevere?"
The princess glared at An Lingrong and said, "An Lingrong, stop preaching to me! I will not yield!"
Zhen Huan and An Lingrong exchanged a glance, and Zhen Huan said, "Princess, you came from afar to marry us, and you should have lived in harmony and peace with us. But you are trying to disrupt the harem with your schemes and intrigues. What good does that do you?"
The princess was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Do you think I want this? I'm a princess in my own country. If it weren't for the country, why would I commit myself to this?"
An Lingrong asked in surprise, "Princess, what do you mean by that? Are you being ordered by your country?"
The princess kept silent.
Zhen Huan and An Lingrong had no choice but to leave.
Back in the palace, Zhen Huan said to everyone: "It seems that the story behind this princess is more complicated than we thought. She seems to have received a mission from her country."
Mei Zhuang said worriedly, "If this is true, then this matter will be difficult to resolve peacefully. It may cause trouble between the two countries."
Concubine Hua said disdainfully: "Humph! Who cares about the affairs of the two countries? She acted wildly on my territory and I will not let her off easily!"
As they were speaking, a young eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, an envoy has arrived from outside the palace. He claims to be from the princess's country and wants to see the emperor."
Zhen Huan's heart moved: "It seems that this matter is going to have a new development."
After the emperor summoned the envoy, his expression became solemn.
When Zhen Huan and the others went to pay their respects, the Emperor said to her, "Huan Huan, the messenger said that the princess' actions were all for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Their country is in trouble, and they want to gain some help through the princess's status in the harem."
Zhen Huan asked, "Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty plan to do with the princess?"
The Emperor sighed, "I am in a dilemma. If I punish the princess severely, it will damage the peace between the two countries; if I let her go easily, it will be difficult to appease the anger of the harem."
An Lingrong thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can have the princess swear a solemn oath, promising not to get involved in the harem disputes again, and have her country show sincerity to help our country. This way, we can have the best of both worlds."
The Emperor looked at An Lingrong and said, "Lingrong, this plan is worth a try. I just don't know if the princess and her country would agree."
Zhen Huan said, "Your Majesty, please discuss this with the envoy and explain our country's position and difficulties."
The emperor nodded: "That's the only way."
While the emperor was discussing with the envoy, rumors began to spread in the harem, saying that the princess was secretly colluding with foreign officials and had evil intentions.
Concubine Hua angrily said, "This princess is really restless! I will get to the bottom of this!"
Mei Zhuang said, "Sister Hua Fei, please don't worry. This rumor may not be credible. Perhaps someone is deliberately spreading it to stir up more trouble."
Zhen Huan also said, "Sister Meizhuang is right. Let's wait and see what happens and make a decision after the Emperor has a result."
An Lingrong whispered to Zhen Huan, "Huan'er, I feel like there's something fishy going on behind these rumors. I want to investigate."
Zhen Huan warned, "Lingrong, be careful."
An Lingrong secretly sent people to investigate the source of the rumor and discovered that it was done by a neglected concubine.
An Lingrong told Zhen Huan, "Huan'er, it turns out she was behind this. She's jealous of all the attention the princess has received since her arrival, and she wants to spread rumors to bring her down."
Zhen Huan sighed, "How could someone in the harem be so complicated? Let's go talk to her and don't let her cause any more trouble."
The two found the concubine.
Zhen Huan asked, "Sister, why do you fabricate rumors and disrupt the harem?"
The concubine, seeing her secret was exposed, said in panic, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment and jealous of the princess, so I resorted to such a bad idea."
An Lingrong asked, "Do you realize how much disaster your actions could cause? If a conflict breaks out between the two countries, can you bear the responsibility?"
The concubine cried and said, "My Lady, I will never dare to do that again."
Zhen Huan said, "You better take care of yourself. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily."
After dealing with this matter, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong continued to wait for the results of the discussion between the emperor and the envoy.
Finally, the emperor sent news that the princess and her country agreed to An Lingrong's proposal. The princess swore a solemn vow not to participate in the harem struggles anymore, and her country would send a batch of supplies and treasures to help the Qing Dynasty overcome the difficulties.
The matter came to a temporary end, and Zhen Huan and An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief.
Chun'er said happily: "Sisters, everything is finally okay!"
Mei Zhuang smiled and said, "Thanks to Ling Rong's strategy, we were able to resolve the crisis this time."
An Lingrong said modestly, "Sister Meizhuang, you're too kind. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
Concubine Hua also said: "Humph! She's lucky this time! But there will definitely be troubles in the harem in the future, we can't let our guard down!"
Zhen Huan nodded: "Sister Hua Fei is right. We must still be cautious, support each other, and protect the peace of this harem."
Despite going through many ups and downs, the friendship between Zhen Huan and An Lingrong in the harem has become more and more solid as a rock. They use wisdom as sword and kindness as shield to break through numerous difficulties and move steadily towards an unknown destiny. The endless road in the palace has witnessed their legend. Every step is full of stories, and every story shows their tenacity and courage. In this deep palace, their names will be remembered forever and become an immortal legend.
