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

Xiao Yanzi said anxiously to Hongli, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister's residence has been framed. What should we do? Lord Lin is definitely not that kind of person!"

Hongli's expression was solemn: "My beloved consort, rest assured, I will definitely clear the Prime Minister's name. The Minister of Rites' actions must be a conspiracy with the Shadow Pavilion, trying to bring down the Prime Minister's family first and then plan for the future."

The primary consort of the Fucha clan also said from the side, "Your Highness, this matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to the Prime Minister's residence."

Hongzhou frowned and said, "Fourth Brother, I have a feeling there's a bigger conspiracy behind this. Are they framing the Prime Minister's residence to divert our attention from the Shadow Pavilion?"

Hongli nodded: "Hongzhou, what you say makes sense. We cannot let them lead us by the nose."

At this moment, Lin Yuhang entered the palace to see Hongli. Upon seeing Xiaoyanzi and the others, he anxiously said, "Your Highness, my father has been framed, and the entire Prime Minister's residence is in a state of panic. I believe that my father is absolutely innocent and must have been framed."

Little Swallow comforted him, "Brother Lin, the Prince will definitely find out the truth, so don't worry too much."

Lin Yuhang looked at Xiao Yanzi gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Xiao Yanzi. I know you will definitely help the Prime Minister's Mansion as well."

When Niohuru Zhixi heard about this in the palace, she said to Rong Mama, "Mama, with the Prime Minister's residence in trouble, the Prince must be extremely busy. I wonder if he will neglect me."

Rong Momo snorted, "Fujin, this is a good opportunity. You can show more concern for the Prince at this time to demonstrate your magnanimity and virtue."

Zhixi hesitated and said, "Is this appropriate? I'm afraid the prince will think I'm trying to curry favor with him."

Rong Momo advised, "Fujin, if you don't do something, you'll be outshone by that Xiaoyanzi."

At the Prime Minister's residence, Madam Lin secretly shed tears, while Lin Yuxuan comforted her, saying, "Mother, don't cry. Brother and sister will definitely rescue Father."

Xiao Tao and A Zhu were also by their side. Xiao Tao said, "Madam, the young master is right. Miss and the young master are so smart, they will definitely be able to come up with a solution."

Su Peisheng came to report again: "Your Highness, this old servant has heard from a servant in the Ministry of Rites that his master has been meeting frequently with a mysterious person recently. It seems that the mysterious person gave his master a large sum of money to frame the Prime Minister's family."

Hongli's eyes turned cold: "Hmph, so he was indeed bribed. Su Peisheng, have you found out the identity of that mysterious person?"

Su Peisheng shook his head: "Your Highness, I didn't see the servant clearly, I only know that he was a masked man."

When Consort Zhen Huan learned of this, she said to Hongli, "My son, the Minister of Rites must have a powerful backer to dare to act so recklessly. You can't just focus on the Minister of Rites; you must dig deeper to find out who is behind him."

Hongli replied, "Mother, I understand. I have already sent people to investigate."

Fucha Fuheng offered a suggestion: "Your Highness, we can start by examining the financial transactions of the Minister of Rites to see if we can find the source of that bribe and trace it back to the mastermind behind it."

Hongli agreed, saying, "Fuheng, this is a good plan. Let's do it your way."

Xiao Yanzi said to Hongli, "Your Highness, I want to go to the prison to see Lord Lin. Maybe I can get some clues from him."

Hongli said worriedly, "My beloved consort, the prison is dangerous. How can I be at ease if you go?"

Little Swallow said firmly, "Your Highness, I am not afraid. Lord Lin is in a difficult situation now, and I must go."

Hongzhou also said, "Fourth Brother, I'll go with Xiaoyanzi so we can look after each other."

Hongli thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, you must be careful."

Xiao Yanzi and Hongzhou arrived at the prison and met Lord Lin. Upon seeing them, Lord Lin hurriedly said, "Miss Xiao Yanzi, Prince He, I have been wronged!"

Little Swallow comforted him, "Lord Lin, we know you've been wronged. The Prince is investigating this matter with all his might. Do you remember if you've offended anyone or noticed anything unusual recently?"

Lord Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I remember now. A few days ago, a stranger came to the Prime Minister's residence to request an audience, saying that he had important matters to discuss. I found his behavior suspicious, so I refused him. Not long after, rumors spread that the Prime Minister's residence was colluding with Jianghu forces."

Hongzhou asked, "Lord Lin, what are the characteristics of that stranger?"

Lord Lin said, "He was tall, spoke with a northern accent, and had a faint scar on his face."

Xiao Yanzi and Hong Zhou noted down the characteristics. After leaving the prison, Hong Zhou said, "Xiao Yanzi, this clue is too vague. It won't be easy to find this person."

Little Swallow said, "No matter what, having a clue is better than having none. Let's go back and tell the Prince first."

Back at the palace, they told Hongli about the situation. Hongli said, "I will have Fuheng send people to investigate based on this characteristic. In addition, the deciphering of ancient books cannot be neglected."

Fucha's primary consort said, "Your Highness, I have heard that there is a hermit in the countryside who is proficient in ancient writing. Perhaps we can ask him to help decipher the ancient books."

Hongli's eyes lit up: "Fujin, is what you said true? If we can invite this hermit, the mystery of the ancient book may be solved."

Lady Fucha nodded: "I only heard about it by chance. Your Highness might as well send someone to look for it."

Hongli immediately arranged for people to search for the hermit. At this time, the Shadow Pavilion also learned that the Prime Minister's residence had been framed. Their leader sneered, "Hmph, this is just the first step. There are many more good shows waiting for them."

Inside the Minister of Rites' residence, the Minister was discussing with the mysterious man: "My lord, the Prime Minister's residence is now in dire straits. What should we do next?"

The mysterious man said, "Continue to proceed according to plan. We cannot give Hongli and Xiaoyanzi a chance to catch their breath. We must not let them decipher that ancient book. If necessary, we will take extreme measures."

The conflicts between the imperial court and the martial arts world intensify, the fate of the Prime Minister's mansion hangs by a thread, and the secrets of the ancient book remain shrouded in mystery. In this perilous situation, can Xiao Yanzi and Hongli dispel the fog, save the Prime Minister's mansion, unravel the mystery of the ancient book, and thwart the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy? Can their love remain steadfast amidst these trials? Everything hangs in the balance, awaiting the judgment of fate. They must rely on their wisdom and courage to forge ahead on this thorny path, striving for a glimmer of hope and writing their own legendary chapter. No matter what lies ahead—stormy waves or a bottomless abyss—they will never retreat, climbing towards the unknown pinnacle of destiny.
