Chapter 177 Ling Huan Foreign Princess Fight
Zhen Huan patted her chest lightly and said with lingering fear, "Lingrong, this foreign princess is really difficult to deal with. She is so reckless."
An Lingrong frowned slightly. "Huan'er, even though she was reprimanded by the Emperor today, she may not stop being so aggressive. We still have to be careful and vigilant."
Chun Changzai came over skipping and jumping: "Sister Huanhuan, Sister Lingrong, that princess is so fierce! Will she come up with any more bad ideas?"
Zhen Huan touched Concubine Chun's head and said, "Chun'er, don't be afraid. Your sisters are here."
An Lingrong looked at Chun Changzai and said thoughtfully, "Chun Changzai, when you play in the future, try to avoid her residence and don't give her any chance to take advantage of you."
Chun Changzai nodded obediently: "Yes, Chun'er understands."
A few days later, a tea party was held in the palace. Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were talking when a foreign princess arrived in full dress.
The foreign princess raised her chin and said provocatively, "Hmph! Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, don't think I will let you off so easily."
Zhen Huan smiled calmly, "Your Highness, we have no grudges against you, so why are you forcing us so hard?"
The princess's eyes widened in anger. "No grudges or hatred? You monopolize the favor in this palace. How can I tolerate this?"
An Lingrong said softly, "Princess, how can we influence matters of favor? The Emperor has his own decision."
The princess sneered, "Stop pretending in front of me! I will make sure you know how powerful I am."
During the tea party, the princess suddenly clutched her stomach and screamed, "Ouch! My stomach hurts! You must have poisoned the tea!"
Zhen Huan was shocked: "Your Highness, please stop slandering me! Everyone is drinking this tea, why is only Your Highness having a stomachache?"
The princess cried out, "I don't care! You must be trying to harm me so that you can dominate the harem."
An Lingrong said calmly, "Princess, if we really wanted to poison you, why would we do it in public? Your Highness, please don't wrongly accuse a good person."
At this time, the emperor was startled and rushed to the tea party. The emperor asked with a sullen face, "What's the commotion?"
The princess cried, "Your Majesty, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong poisoned my tea and tried to murder me. Your Majesty, please help me!"
Zhen Huan hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. This tea was brewed by a palace maid in public, and everyone drank it, except the princess, who had a stomachache. Someone must have deliberately framed me and Ling Rong."
An Lingrong also bowed, "Your Majesty, please understand. Huan'er and I would never do such evil."
The emperor looked at everyone, thought for a moment, and then said, "Call the imperial physician to examine the princess. The truth of the matter will be revealed after the imperial physician's diagnosis."
The imperial physician arrived and after a brief examination, he expressed doubts: "Your Majesty, the princess is not poisoned. She simply ate something that counteracted her, causing the abdominal pain."
Zhen Huan's eyes glared, "Your Highness, now that the truth is out, what else do you have to say?"
The princess's expression changed, but she continued to argue, "Humph! How could I have known that I had eaten something incompatible with my diet? Someone must have secretly planned this and made me eat it by mistake."
An Lingrong said, "Princess, please stop being unreasonable. There are fixed rules for food and drink in the palace. How can you blame others for your own carelessness?"
The emperor scolded the princess, "Enough! Princess, you have repeatedly stirred up trouble in the palace, and I have tolerated it many times. If you do this again, I will not forgive you."
Although the princess was angry, she didn't dare to say anything.
After the tea party, Zhen Huan said to An Lingrong, "Lingrong, I'm afraid this princess won't give up. We have to find a way to make her completely give up the idea of targeting us."
An Lingrong nodded: "Huan'er, I think we can start with the palace maids around her. Maybe we can find something to hold against her and make her feel intimidated."
So, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong secretly ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to pay attention to the movements of the palace maids around the princess.
A few days later, a maid came to report: "Your Majesty, we discovered that the maidservants around the princess were secretly passing letters with people outside the palace."
Zhen Huan's eyes lit up: "It seems we have a clue. Keep watching and try to get the letter."
A few days later, the palace maid successfully intercepted the letter. Zhen Huan and An Lingrong opened it and found that the princess's motherland was planning to use the princess to stir up trouble between the two countries in the palace. The letter also mentioned some shameful means.
Zhen Huan and An Lingrong brought the letter to the Emperor. Zhen Huan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Lingrong and I have uncovered a grave secret. This foreign princess is causing trouble in the palace, and behind this lies a conspiracy by her home country to sow discord between the two nations."
The Emperor took the letter, his expression growing darker. "How can this be! I've treated her motherland well, yet she harbors such wicked ambitions."
An Lingrong said, "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be underestimated. If it is not stopped in time, I am afraid that the lives of both countries will be devastated."
The Emperor nodded. "I will take care of it myself. I will warn her motherland that if she harbors such thoughts again, I will not tolerate it. As for the princess, I will place her under house arrest so that she cannot cause trouble again."
Zhen Huan and An Lingrong thanked her and left. Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief: "Lingrong, this time we have finally solved this big problem temporarily."
An Lingrong said, "Huan'er, there are endless conspiracies and intrigues in this harem. We must be careful at all times."
At this moment, a newly arrived noble lady arrives to pay her respects. This lady appears gentle and demure, but a subtle cunning glint lingers in her eyes. What challenges will her appearance bring to Zhen Huan and An Lingrong?
