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

Little Swallow was extremely anxious. She pushed hard on the door of the secret chamber and shouted, "Your Highness, the door won't budge! We have to think of something!"

Hongli remained calm and composed, carefully observing the surroundings of the secret chamber as he said, "My beloved consort, do not panic. There must be a way to solve this. This secret chamber must have been meticulously designed by that man in black robes, and the mechanism may be hidden among these ancient books and treasures."

Fu Heng also began to search the secret room, saying, "Your Highness is absolutely right. Everyone, search carefully and don't overlook any detail."

Hongzhou comforted Xiaoyanzi from the side: "Xiaoyanzi, don't be afraid. With your fourth brother here, we will definitely be able to turn bad luck into good."

Xiao Yanzi glanced gratefully at Hongzhou and replied, "Your Highness, I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that the mastermind behind it all might take the opportunity to stir up trouble outside."

Lin Yuhang suddenly exclaimed, "Your Highness, look at the patterns on this wall. They seem to resemble some elements from the murals outside. Could they be a clue to opening this door?"

The crowd gathered around, and saw strange symbols and figures carved on the wall. Hongli pondered for a moment, then said, "These patterns seem chaotic, but they actually contain hidden meanings. Yuhang, do you have any insights into them?"

Lin Yuhang frowned and pondered, saying, "Your Highness, I have seen similar symbols in some ancient books, which seem to be related to the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. But I need to think more carefully about how they correspond to the mechanisms in this secret room."

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere in the locked room grew increasingly tense.

Little Swallow paced back and forth anxiously, saying, "What should we do? If we delay any longer, the mastermind might succeed."

Hongzhou looked at Xiaoyanzi with a pang of pity and said, "Xiaoyanzi, don't worry. With so many of us, we're sure to find a way out."

Suddenly, Lin Yuhang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Your Highness, I've got it! The pattern on the wall, according to the principle of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint, should mean we need to move these bookshelves."

Hongli immediately ordered, "Everyone, do as Yu Hang said, and get moving!"

With everyone working together, they began to move the bookshelf. Just as the bookshelf reached its designated position, the sound of a mechanism turning came from inside the secret room, and the door slowly opened.

"Great! The door is open!" Little Swallow exclaimed.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the secret chamber, they were ambushed by the man in black robes. The man in black robes, along with a group of his men, surrounded them.

The man in black robes sneered, "Hongli, do you think you can escape so easily?"

Hongli glared at the man in black robes and said, "You treacherous villain, you dare to plot to usurp the throne! I will not forgive you!"

After saying this, Hongli charged at the man in black robes and engaged him in fierce combat. Xiaoyanzi, Hongzhou, and Fuheng also joined the battle, fighting against the members of the Shadow Pavilion.

"Watch this move!" Little Swallow used all her skills, her moves fierce, to fight her enemy.

While fending off the enemy's attacks, Hongzhou shouted, "Little Swallow, watch out behind you!"

During the battle, they gradually discovered that the black-robed man's martial arts style was different from before, and seemed to be more sinister and unpredictable.

Fu Heng said, "Your Highness, this man in black robes seems to have received some new assistance, and his martial arts have become even more difficult to deal with."

Hongli frowned and said, "No matter what he has to rely on, we must take him down today."

The two sides were locked in fierce combat when suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar. It turned out that reinforcements that Fucha Fuheng had arranged in the vicinity had arrived.

"Your Highness, we are late!" the reinforcement general shouted.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation instantly turned around. The Shadow Pavilion members gradually became outmatched and began to scatter and flee.

Seeing the situation was dire, the man in black tried to escape. Little Swallow reacted quickly, leaping forward to block his path.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Little Swallow shouted.

The man in black glared at Xiao Yanzi: "You little brat, you've ruined my plans time and time again!"

Hongli arrived and, together with Xiaoyanzi, subdued the man in black.

"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?" Hongli pressed.

The man in black robes snorted coldly and remained silent.

Hongzhou said, "Fourth brother, there's no need to waste words on such a villain. Just take him back to the palace and let Father deal with him."

Hongli nodded and said, "Alright."

The group escorted the man in black back to the palace. Along the way, Xiao Yanzi said to Hongli, "Your Highness, although we have temporarily thwarted the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy, the mastermind behind it has not yet revealed himself, and I'm afraid there is an even greater crisis waiting for us."

Hongli held Xiaoyanzi's hand and said, "My beloved consort, rest assured, I will not let that mastermind succeed. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will face them with you."

Touched, Xiao Yanzi said, "Your Highness, I am relieved to hear your words."

Upon returning to the palace, they reported the events to Emperor Yongzheng. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the high-ranking officials in the court who had colluded with the Shadow Pavilion.

After this ordeal, Xiao Yanzi and Hongli's relationship deepened. However, they also knew that the conflicts within the court and the martial world had not subsided, and more challenges awaited them. Would they continue to uphold love and justice amidst the turbulent undercurrents of the court, or would they be swallowed up by new conspiracies and schemes? The wheels of fate continued to turn relentlessly, and their legendary story continued to unfold.
