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

Chapter 247: Breaking through the Dangerous Place to Find the Truth

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong led the guards to rush around in this secret manor.

Zhen Huan shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, maintain your formation!"

An Lingrong also said: "Yes, if we work together, we will definitely be able to get out of here!"

The guards responded in unison: "Yes, Imperial Noble Consort Xi, Imperial Noble Consort An!"

However, the enemy's attacks continued in waves. A guard shouted, "My Queen, another group of people is coming to block our way!"

Zhen Huan's eyes were stern: "Don't be afraid, we have many people, fight and retreat."

An Lingrong looked at the enemies surging around her, feeling anxious: "Huan'er, this is not a solution. We have to find a way to break the deadlock."

Zhen Huan thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Lingrong, look at this manor, there are candles everywhere. If we can create some chaos and take advantage of the chaos to break out, maybe we can do it."

An Lingrong nodded: "Huan'er, this plan is very good, but how do we create chaos?"

Zhen Huan turned to a guard and ordered, "Take a few people and go set fire to the woodshed over there to create thick smoke."

The guards took their orders and left. A moment later, a fire began to blaze in the woodshed, sending thick smoke billowing into the air. The enemy was thrown into disarray by this sudden change.

Zhen Huan shouted, "Now, charge into that gap!"

Everyone bravely rushed forward and fought a desperate battle with the enemy. In the melee, Zhen Huan was accidentally scratched on the arm by an enemy's sword.

An Lingrong exclaimed, "Huan'er, how are you?"

Zhen Huan gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, don't stop!"

Finally, they broke through the weakly defended corner and temporarily escaped the enemy's pursuit.

An Lingrong panted and said, "Finally we've made it out, but this manor is so huge, where are we going to find evidence about 'Mr.'?"

Zhen Huan looked around and said, "First, find a secluded place to rest, and then send people to investigate."

They found an abandoned hut. Zhen Huan said to a clever young eunuch, "You quietly check around. If you see anything suspicious, report back immediately."

Not long after the young eunuch left, he hurried back and said, "Madam, I found a secret room not far away. The door is heavily guarded."

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong exchanged a glance, and Zhen Huan said, "There must be something fishy going on there. We must find a way to get in."

An Lingrong said, "But the gate is heavily guarded. A brute force attack is definitely not an option."

Zhen Huan pondered for a moment: "We can make a feint to the east and attack in the west. Send some people to feign an attack from the front to attract their attention. Then we can find an opportunity to sneak in from the side."

After the plan was finalized, the guards acted accordingly. The frontal attack caused the enemy to panic, and Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, along with a few agile guards, quietly moved around to the side.

An Lingrong said softly, "Huan'er, I hope this goes well."

Zhen Huan clenched the handkerchief in her hand: "It will definitely go smoothly. We have been through so much, we can't let it go to waste."

As they approached the secret room, they found a huge brass lock on the door. A guard said, "My lady, this lock is very strong and will take a while to open."

Zhen Huan said anxiously, "What should we do? Are we going to return empty-handed?"

An Lingrong squatted down to examine the keyhole and suddenly said, "Huan'er, I learned some lock-picking tricks at the spice shop. Perhaps you can give them a try."

Zhen Huan was surprised and said, "Lingrong, you actually have this ability!"

An Lingrong pulled out a hairpin from her head and carefully inserted it into the keyhole. After fiddling with it for a while, she heard a "click" and the lock opened.

Zhen Huan was overjoyed: "Lingrong, you are so amazing!"

They slowly pushed open the door of the secret room, and a stale smell filled the room. They saw that the secret room was filled with various documents and some strange objects.

Zhen Huan picked up a document and looked at the contents. Her face changed. "Lingrong, this records some secret transactions between 'Master' and officials in the court. It seems we have found the key evidence!"

An Lingrong also came over to check: "Great, Huan'er, we finally found it. However, this evidence involves so many people, what should we do with it?"

Zhen Huan's eyes were firm: "Of course, I will present this evidence to the Emperor, asking him to severely punish these treacherous people and restore peace to the harem and the court."

But just as they were about to leave the secret room, the door suddenly closed. An Lingrong pushed the door in panic: "What's going on? Why is the door closed?"

Zhen Huan's heart sank. "It seems we've fallen into a trap. This secret room must have a trap."

At this moment, a sinister laugh rang out from the secret room: "Do you think you can take the evidence and leave so easily? You are too naive."

Zhen Huan asked loudly, "Who are you?"

The voice replied, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will die here today."

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong are trapped in a secret room, and the guards outside are still fighting fiercely with the enemy. Can they escape again? How will they get out of this predicament with evidence? Everything is caught in an unknown crisis. Only by responding calmly can they find hope in desperation and solve these mysteries.
