Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi had been in a delicate relationship since leaving the palace. Their experience that day in the palace had brought them closer together, but it also made them aware of the difficulties and dangers ahead. But they both understood that no matter how many storms lay ahead, they would face them together.

As a prince, Xiao Yi was already a highly regarded figure in the imperial court, and the appearance of Li Lingyuan had drawn even more attention to him. This was especially true for those who harbored ill intentions towards Xiao Yi, as they viewed Li Lingyuan as Xiao Yi's weak spot and attempted to use her to attack him.

One day, Li Lingyuan was studying an ancient book in her mansion, trying to find some clues about this era. She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in this world, she must gain a deeper understanding of everything here. Suddenly, the mansion's housekeeper hurried in, looking panicked and said, "Miss Li, something bad has happened! A group of soldiers have arrived, saying they want to search the palace."

Li Lingyuan's heart tightened, and she immediately realized that someone was deliberately targeting them. She put down the ancient book in her hand and quickly walked to the door, only to see a group of officers and soldiers surrounding the palace. The leading officer said arrogantly, "By order of the Emperor, search the palace to see if there are any prohibited items."

Li Lingyuan sneered inwardly, knowing that the so-called "prohibited items" were just an excuse. She said calmly, "The palace is the residence of the prince. Do you have the emperor's decree for conducting such a rash search?"

The officer obviously did not expect Li Lingyuan to question him like this. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "We are just following orders, don't stop us." As he said that, he was about to lead his men to break into the palace.

At this moment, Xiao Yi walked out of the mansion. He was dressed in a black brocade robe, his eyes were cold, and he exuded an air of majesty. He looked at the group of officers and soldiers and said coldly, "How dare you be so presumptuous while I am here?"

The officer felt a little scared when he saw Xiao Yi, but he remembered the order from the person behind him and said, "Your Highness, we are also following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Xiao Yi sneered and said, "Following orders? I'd like to see who gave you the courage to search my residence." As he spoke, he took a step forward, and his powerful aura made the officers and soldiers involuntarily take a few steps back.

Li Lingyuan stood beside Xiao Yi, feeling a sense of security. She knew that as long as Xiao Yi was around, these people would not dare to act recklessly. But she also understood that this raid was no accident and that someone must be secretly manipulating it.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a eunuch hurried over. He held an imperial edict in his hand and said loudly, "The imperial edict has arrived. Xiao Yi, please accept it."

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan exchanged a glance, then knelt together to receive the decree. The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and read, "I have heard that there are prohibited items in the palace, and I have ordered a search. Xiao Yi is not to interfere. I decree this."

After hearing the imperial edict, Xiao Yi was furious. He knew someone was deliberately framing him, but he couldn't disobey the imperial edict. He stood up and said to the officers and soldiers, "Since there is an imperial edict, you can search."

With Xiao Yi's permission, the soldiers immediately began searching the palace. They rummaged through boxes and cabinets, taking everything. Li Lingyuan watched this scene, filled with anger and helplessness. She knew this was a conspiracy, and they would never find the so-called "prohibited items" no matter what.

Sure enough, after a thorough search, the officers and soldiers found nothing. The officer's face was a little grim, knowing that his mission had failed, but he still said, "Your Highness, since no contraband has been found, we will take our leave."

Xiao Yi watched the soldiers leave, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. He knew that this incident was just the beginning, and the people behind it would definitely have more to do.

Li Lingyuan walked to Xiao Yi's side and said softly: "Xiao Yi, I don't think this matter is that simple. There must be someone behind the scenes deliberately targeting you."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I know this search is just a test for them. They want to see my reaction so that they can make their next move."

Li Lingyuan frowned and said, "Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "We must find the person behind this as soon as possible. Only in this way can we resolve this crisis."

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan then began to secretly investigate the mastermind behind the raid. As they gathered information through various channels, they gradually uncovered clues. It turned out that the incident was orchestrated by a powerful official in the imperial court. This official had long harbored resentment towards Xiao Yi and wanted to bring him down so he could gain greater power.

After learning of this news, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan decided to take the initiative. They began to collect evidence of the powerful official's crimes, trying to bring him down in one fell swoop. After some effort, they finally found some strong evidence that was enough to prove the powerful official's crimes.

Just as they were about to present the evidence to the Emperor, they were suddenly attacked by an assassination attempt. A group of men in black sneaked into the palace at night and attempted to assassinate Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan were well prepared, and they engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

Xiao Yi was a skilled martial artist. He wielded a long sword and moved freely among the men in black, repelling them one by one. Although Li Lingyuan was not as skilled as Xiao Yi, she was not to be outdone. She picked up a short sword and engaged in a desperate fight with the men in black.

During the battle, Li Lingyuan was accidentally scratched on the arm by a man in black. Xiao Yi was furious when he saw Li Lingyuan injured. He used all his strength to repel all the men in black. Then, he quickly came to Li Lingyuan's side to check her injuries.

"How are you? Are you seriously injured?" Xiao Yi asked with concern.

Li Lingyuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a minor injury."

Xiao Yi looked at the wound on Li Lingyuan's arm, his heart filled with heartache. He said, "It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well."

Li Lingyuan smiled slightly and said, "It's not your fault. It was my own carelessness."

After this assassination, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan became more determined to overthrow the powerful official. They knew that if this problem was not solved quickly, their lives would be in greater danger.

So, they took the evidence they had collected and entered the palace again. They presented the evidence to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would be fair.
