Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

Little Swallow and Hongli cautiously made their way forward through the manor.

Xiao Yanzi gripped her sword tightly and whispered, "Your Highness, this manor has an inexplicable eeriness about it. We must be careful!"

Hongli nodded, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily: "My beloved consort, don't be afraid, I'm here. Look around, there seem to be some sentries. Let's find a place to hide and observe for a while."

The two quietly hid in a corner. Just then, a dark figure hurried past. Little Swallow was about to speak when Hongli quickly covered her mouth, only releasing his grip after the figure had gone far away.

Little Swallow complained softly, "Your Highness, we almost caught him and got to the bottom of things!"

Hongli said helplessly, "My dear consort, you must not act rashly. The people of the Shadow Pavilion are very cunning. If we alert them, things will be difficult for us."

They continued on and came to a house. The door was ajar, and they could faintly hear voices coming from inside.

Little Swallow peered through the crack in the door and heard someone whisper inside, "This time we must keep the secret of the manor safe. We absolutely cannot let Prince Bao and that Miss Lin find out anything."

Another voice said, "But they've already broken in, what do we do?"

"Don't panic, stick to the plan and lead them to the trap."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzi angrily said to Hongli, "Your Highness, they really are plotting to lure us into a trap!"

Hongli pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's play along, pretend to fall for the trap, and then find an opportunity to counterattack."

The two pretended not to notice and headed towards the trap. On the way, they encountered a maid sent by the primary consort of the Fucha clan.

The maidservant said anxiously, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort was very worried when she heard that you and Miss Xiaoyanzi had come to this manor for adventure. She sent me to check on you and brought some medicine and dry food."

Little Swallow said with emotion, "Sister Fucha is always so thoughtful. I will definitely thank her properly when I get back."

Hongli took the things and said, "Go back and tell the Princess Consort that Xiaoyanzi and I will be fine. Tell her not to worry."

The maid nodded and left.

Continuing onward, they finally arrived at the location of the trap. The area was riddled with mechanisms, threatening to trigger them at any moment.

Little Swallow looked at the traps and stuck out her tongue: "Your Highness, these are not easy to deal with!"

Hongli observed carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "My dear consort, look over there. It seems to be the hub controlling the mechanism. If we can destroy it, these mechanisms will be useless."

Just as they were preparing to take action, Hongzhou appeared.

Hongzhou looked at Xiaoyanzi, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Xiaoyanzi, why did you come to this dangerous place with Fourth Brother? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

Xiao Yanzi frowned: "Prince He, the prince and I are here to investigate the conspiracy of the Shadow Pavilion. This concerns the peace of the palace. You must not stop us."

Hongzhou smiled bitterly, "I know I can't stop you, but I just can't let you go. Fine, since you've made up your mind, I can't just stand by and watch you risk your life. I'll help you."

Hongli looked at Hongzhou and said gratefully, "Hongzhou, thank you very much."

The three worked together to begin cracking the mechanism. Hongzhou used his agility to draw the mechanism's attacks, while Hongli took the opportunity to destroy the key component. Xiaoyanzi assisted from the side, using her sword to deflect some hidden weapons.

After a thrilling struggle, they finally succeeded in destroying the mechanism's key components.

Deeper into the trap, they discovered a pattern similar to the murals in the Shadow Pavilion.

Little Swallow exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, how did this pattern end up here? Could this estate have a deeper connection with the Shadow Pavilion?"

Hongli squatted down and carefully studied the pattern: "It seems that the secret behind this is far beyond our imagination. This may be the key to unraveling the whole conspiracy."

At this moment, Niohuru Zhixi and Rong Mama learned that their actions in the manor seemed to be not going well, and they were secretly delighted.

Zhixi said smugly, "Granny, it seems they're going to be in trouble here. Once the prince gets into trouble, the situation in this manor will be very different."

Rong Momo said obsequiously, "Your Highness is wise. Let's just wait and see what happens."

However, what they didn't know was that Xiao Yanzi, Hongli, and Hongzhou were gradually getting closer to the truth. The conspiracy of the Shadow Pavilion in the manor was about to be exposed, and the various forces inside and outside the palace would also undergo tremendous changes because of this event. Whether it was a blessing or a curse was still unknown. Everything was full of suspense in this mysterious and unpredictable situation, waiting for the further judgment of fate.
