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

After Xiao Yanzi and Lin Yuhang returned to the palace, Hongli immediately summoned his trusted ministers to the Imperial Study to discuss countermeasures.

Minister A said with great concern, "Your Majesty, this mysterious force is in cahoots with the martial arts world. I fear their influence is deeply entrenched and difficult to eradicate!"

Hongli's gaze was firm: "No matter how difficult they are to deal with, if they dare to cause trouble in my palace, I will never tolerate it!"

Xiao Yanzi also said, "Your Majesty, I believe the most urgent task is to find out who is passing messages to them in the palace and cut off their eyes and ears."

Lin Yuhang nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. I am willing to lead men to conduct a secret investigation in the palace, and we will make sure they have no further opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

Hongli pondered for a moment and said, "Yuhang, go and do it. I will order General Zhaohui to keep an eye on the movements of the Jianghu forces outside the palace and launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside."

At this moment, Consort Ling came to report: "Your Majesty, I have found evidence that Nara Nerbu's confidants have been threatened. It is some anonymous letters that threaten the lives of their family members."

Little Swallow took the letter and read it, then angrily said, "Zhixi is really despicable! She will stop at nothing to achieve her goals."

Hongli said, "Keep this evidence safe and reveal it when the time is right."

Meanwhile, Hongzhou and Dili Leyao also made a discovery in the palace. Hongzhou hurriedly entered the palace to report to Hongli: "Your Majesty, Leyao and I have discovered a eunuch in the palace behaving suspiciously. He seems to be in frequent contact with people outside the palace and passing on messages."

Hongli's eyes narrowed: "Quickly capture that eunuch!"

Before long, the eunuch was brought in. Under the interrogation of the crowd, the eunuch stammered, "Your Majesty, this servant was instructed by Consort Na to make contact with a mysterious person outside the palace to pass on messages from the palace. That mysterious person then passed the messages on to the martial arts world."

Little Swallow said angrily, "Zhixi, are you still trying to argue?"

After being brought to the palace, Zhixi still tried to remain calm: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. This eunuch must have framed me."

Hongli laid out the evidence before her one by one: "Zhixi, you still dare to be stubborn! With so much evidence, how do you explain this?"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhixi collapsed to the ground: "Your Majesty, I... I was just confused for a moment. I was jealous that the Imperial Noble Consort was favored by Your Majesty, so I did such a wrong thing."

Hongli angrily said, "Your jealousy almost caused a disaster. I will not let you off easily. First, throw her into the cold palace to await her fate!"

With Zhixi's downfall, the rumors about Xiaoyanzi gradually subsided. After learning the truth, the ministers no longer obstructed Xiaoyanzi's ascension to the throne.

Nara Nerbu also cooperated actively, and Xiao Yanzi was successfully crowned Empress, with a grand coronation ceremony held. At the ceremony, Xiao Yanzi wore a magnificent phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, radiant and dazzling.

Lin Yuhang looked at Xiao Yanzi and said with relief, "Little sister, you've finally overcome all your hardships."

Little Swallow smiled and said, "Brother, I'm so grateful to have you by my side and helping me along the way."

Hongli held Xiaoyanzi's hand and said affectionately, "Empress, I will spend my life with you and witness this prosperous and glorious era together."

With tears in her eyes, Xiao Yanzi said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to stay with you through life and death."

Afterwards, the palace returned to its former tranquility, but beneath the surface, undercurrents were stirring. Although the concubines appeared respectful, their thoughts were varied. Xiao Yanzi knew that as Empress, she had to protect the peace of the palace and face the challenges of the future together with Hongli.
