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

Little Swallow and Hongli met on a path in the Imperial Garden.

Little Swallow said softly, "Your Highness, I've been feeling uneasy lately. It seems the Shadow Pavilion is planning something big."

Hongli comforted her, saying, "My beloved consort, do not panic. I have already arranged for General Zhaohui to strengthen the defenses."

At this moment, Consort Fucha, the primary consort, came over and said with a smile, "You're here! I was just looking for you. I've heard that there are many rumors circulating in the palace lately, which may be detrimental to us."

Little Swallow frowned: "Sister, someone must have done this on purpose to disrupt us."

Hongzhou happened to pass by and overheard the conversation. He couldn't help but say, "Fourth Brother, Little Swallow, if you need my help, just ask. Although I am already married, I will not stand idly by in your affairs."

Hongli nodded: "Hongzhou, I will let you know if needed."

Niohuru Zhixi was in her palace, with Rong Momo serving her.

Zhixi sighed, "Granny, lately the Prince and Xiaoyanzi have become increasingly intimate. What should we do?"

Rong Momo said fiercely, "Fujin, this old servant will definitely find a way to make them suffer! Perhaps we can make a fuss about the mural again."

At the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Yuhang said to Xiao Yanzi, "Sister, I've heard some rumors outside. It seems that martial arts figures are frequently coming and going from the capital. It might be related to the Shadow Pavilion. You must be careful."

Little Swallow said gratefully, "Brother, I feel much more at ease with your concern."

Lin Yuxuan ran over too: "Sister, I will protect you. Those bad guys won't dare to come!"

Xiao Tao said from the side, "Miss, no matter what, we'll stay with you."

Ah Zhu nodded: "Yes, Miss, we are not afraid."

Su Peisheng secretly reported to Hongli: "Your Highness, this old servant has discovered that Gao Wuyong has been acting suspiciously lately, and seems to have some connection with the Shadow Pavilion."

Hongli's eyes turned cold: "Keep an eye on it. If this is true, we will not let it go easily!"

Consort Zhen Huan was not idle in the harem either. She said to Hongli, "My son, I will help you deal with your affair with Xiao Yanzi, but you must be careful not to give others cause for gossip."

Hongli respectfully replied, "Mother, I understand."

At the grand banquet in the palace, everyone gathered together.

Hongzhou's birth mother said to him, "My son, don't worry about Xiaoyanzi anymore. Just live a good life with Princess Leyao."

Hongzhou nodded silently, but his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Xiaoyanzi.

As Consort Qi watched all this, she secretly plotted how to secure benefits for Hongshi. Although Hongshi was no longer with her, she still wanted to make a difference in the palace intrigues.

Fucha Fuheng spoke with Hongli: "Your Highness, although the situation on the border is temporarily stable, we still cannot let our guard down. If the Shadow Pavilion colludes with foreign enemies, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Hongli said, "Fuheng, what you say is absolutely right. I will take precautions as soon as possible."

As Xiao Yanzi stood amidst the crowd, she felt all eyes on her: Hongli's deep affection, Zhixi's jealousy, Hongzhou's longing... She knew that in the vortex of the palace and the martial world, only by holding firm to her beliefs and joining hands with Hongli could she overcome all obstacles. But the road ahead was long and fraught with danger. Could they succeed? The wheels of fate turned relentlessly, and the story continued to unfold amidst endless suspense, awaiting the dawn or the darkness.

Xiao Yanzi returned to the Prime Minister's residence and sat alone in her room, her mind filled with countless thoughts. Xiao Tao brought her tea and said softly, "Miss, don't worry too much. With the Prince and the young masters here, everything will be alright." Xiao Yanzi took the tea and sighed, "Xiao Tao, this matter is not so simple. The forces behind the Shadow Pavilion are deeply entrenched. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I might implicate everyone."

A-Zhu walked in, carrying a newly made cloak, and said, "Miss, this is a new cloak I made. Wearing it will make you feel more at ease. Although the situation is dangerous now, Miss, you are blessed by the heavens." Xiao-Yan-Zi smiled slightly and looked at A-Zhu gratefully: "A-Zhu, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. With you all by my side, I feel more comforted."

Inside the Prime Minister's study, Lord Lin and Lin Yuhang were discussing matters. Lord Lin frowned deeply: "Hang'er, the court and the country are in turmoil due to the Shadow Pavilion incident, and our Prime Minister's residence cannot remain uninvolved. Do you have any ideas?" Lin Yuhang pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I think our most urgent task is to ensure my sister's safety first, and then secretly investigate those who are colluding with the Shadow Pavilion. Perhaps we can start with Gao Wuyong, and if we can follow the clues to find the mastermind behind it all, we can resolve this crisis." Lord Lin nodded: "That's the only way. However, we must be extremely careful during this process and must not alert them."

In the palace, Niohuru Zhixi and Rong Mama were plotting again. Rong Mama whispered, "My Lady, this old servant heard that Xiao Yanzi is discussing countermeasures with her family at the Prime Minister's residence. Should we sabotage it?" Zhixi hesitated, "Mama, if we make it too obvious, the Prince will definitely notice, and then it will be even harder for us to maintain our position in the palace." Rong Mama's eyes lit up, "My Lady, then we can use others, for example, find some people in the court who have a grudge against the Prime Minister's residence, and have them speak on our behalf." Zhixi nodded slightly, "This plan is feasible, Mama, go and make the arrangements, and be sure to do it subtly."

Hongli sat opposite his primary consort, Lady Fucha, in the Prince's residence. Lady Fucha said gently, "Your Highness, given the current situation, you and Little Swallow must be very careful. Although I don't understand the affairs of the martial world and the court, I will manage everything here in the Prince's residence for you, so you have no worries." Hongli grasped Lady Fucha's hand, "My lady, with you by my side, I feel very at ease. It's just that I'm sorry to trouble you to face these conflicts with me." Lady Fucha smiled and said, "Your Highness is too kind; this is what I should do."

Hongzhou stood in his residence, looking at Princess Dili Leyao, his heart filled with guilt. Princess Leyao sensed his thoughts and softly asked, "Your Highness, is something troubling you? Are you still thinking of that Little Swallow girl?" Hongzhou sighed deeply, "Princess, I am sorry. Although I have tried my best to forget, the feelings in my heart are hard to dispel." Princess Leyao frowned slightly, "Your Highness, you are now married to me. I hope you can let go of the past and live a good life with me." Hongzhou nodded, "Princess, rest assured, I will do my best."

Su Peisheng continued to secretly monitor Gao Wuyong and discovered him meeting with a mysterious man in black in a secluded corner of the Imperial Garden. Hidden behind the flowers, Su Peisheng overheard Gao Wuyong say, "My lord, things aren't going smoothly. Hongli and Xiaoyanzi are on high alert, and the Prime Minister's residence is also interfering." The man in black hissed, "Useless! You can't even handle this simple matter. If you ruin my plans, you'll all die!" Su Peisheng was startled and tried to make out the man's face, but the man quickly disappeared. Su Peisheng hurriedly returned to report this to Hongli.

Upon hearing this, Hongli's expression turned grave: "It seems the person behind this is quite powerful, daring to plot so openly in the palace. Su Peisheng, keep an eye on things. I need to know who the mastermind behind this is."

Consort Zhen Huan had heard some rumors in the palace. She summoned her trusted maid and instructed, "Go and keep a close eye on Niohuru Zhixi and Gao Wuyong. Their recent behavior has been quite suspicious. I think they are definitely involved in the Shadow Pavilion incident. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

Xiao Yanzi decided to take the initiative. Disguised, she and Lin Yuhang secretly investigated the capital. They arrived at a secluded tavern, a place rumored to be frequented by martial arts figures. Xiao Yanzi whispered to Lin Yuhang, "Brother, let's go in and take a look; maybe we can get some clues." Lin Yuhang nodded, and the two entered the tavern. The tavern reeked of alcohol, and all sorts of people sat in the corners, conversing quietly. Xiao Yanzi and Lin Yuhang found an empty seat, pretending to be ordinary customers, but their ears were always on high alert for any sounds around them.

Suddenly, a gruff voice rang out: "Have you heard? The Shadow Pavilion is currently searching for someone who can decipher that mysterious mural. They say that whoever finds it will be able to control the world." Another voice chimed in: "Is this mural really that magical? I think those people are just delusional." The first voice said: "What do you know? This mural is said to hide a huge secret, concerning the fate of the court and the martial arts world." Xiao Yanzi and Lin Yuhang exchanged a glance, having made up their minds.

After they left the tavern, Lin Yuhang said, "Sister, it seems that this mural is the key. We need to find more clues about the mural as soon as possible, which may help us break the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy." Xiao Yanzi said, "Brother, but we only know the surface of the secret of this mural. It will be difficult to find more clues." Lin Yuhang encouraged her, "Sister, don't be discouraged. As long as we keep investigating, we will eventually find something."

On the other side of the palace, Fucha Fuheng received news of unusual activity on the border, suspected to be the Shadow Pavilion instigating a foreign invasion. He rushed to the palace to report to Hongli: "Your Highness, news has come from the border that small groups of enemy troops are harassing the frontier. I suspect the Shadow Pavilion is behind this, attempting to disrupt our dynasty's situation so they can carry out their conspiracy." Hongli's eyes turned cold: "Fuheng, immediately mobilize troops and strengthen border defenses. We must not allow the enemy to succeed. I will make sure the Shadow Pavilion knows their plot will not succeed!"

When Xiao Yanzi and Hongli met again, they were both filled with worry. Xiao Yanzi said, "Your Highness, my brother and I have discovered some information in the capital. It seems that the Shadow Pavilion wants to use the murals to control the world, and they are also involved in the border affairs." Hongli said, "My dear consort, I have also received news from the border and have sent Fuheng to handle it. Now our top priority is to unravel the mystery of the murals, find the Shadow Pavilion's lair, and wipe them out in one fell swoop. However, this is fraught with risks, so you must be careful." Xiao Yanzi said firmly, "Your Highness, I am not afraid. I will face it with you."

Meanwhile, inside the Shadow Pavilion, the next steps were being discussed. A man who appeared to be the leader said, "Now that Hongli and Xiaoyanzi have become aware of the situation, we must act quickly. We cannot let them unravel the secret of the mural first. And those people from the Prime Minister's residence and the imperial court—if they dare to obstruct us, don't blame us for being impolite!" Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, leader!"

The political winds of the court and the martial world grow ever more turbulent, with various forces stirring under the shadow of the Shadow Pavilion's intrigue. Amidst these perilous situations, the love between Xiao Yanzi and Hongli flickers like a candle in the wind, yet stubbornly burns on. Can they unravel the mystery of the murals and thwart the Shadow Pavilion's plot in this treacherous environment? Can the Prime Minister's residence survive this conflict? How will the power struggles within the court unfold? Everything unfolds on the stage of history like a magnificent scroll, and the characters, driven by fate, can only strive forward to write their own unknown endings—whether they are showered with glory or meet utter ruin—all await revelation on their unpredictable path ahead.
