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

Xiao Yanzi was restless in the palace, pacing back and forth, muttering, "Oh dear! I wonder how things are going with Hongzhou and the others. I hope nothing bad has happened to them!"

Although Hongli pretended to be calm, his eyes revealed his worry. He comforted Xiaoyanzi, saying, "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. Hongzhou is always quick-witted, and General Zhaohui is a veteran of many battles. He will definitely be able to handle the situation at the manor!"

Consort Ling whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is right! The Prince and the General are both capable men. Let's wait patiently for news!"

Little Swallow frowned and said anxiously, "But I just can't put my mind at ease! That manor doesn't look simple at all. What if they've fallen into a trap?"

At this moment, Yongqi rushed in and shouted, "Father, Mother! I just asked the guards who were waiting outside, and they said that there were sounds of fighting coming from the manor, but the specifics are still unclear!"

Upon hearing this, Little Swallow jumped to her feet and exclaimed, "Oh no! What should we do? I have to go and see!"

Hongli quickly pulled her back and said seriously, "Empress, don't be impulsive! What can you do if you go? You'll only make me more worried. Let's wait here for news!"

Princess Hejing tugged at Xiaoyanzi's sleeve, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Empress Mother, will my uncles be alright? I'm so scared!"

Little Swallow crouched down, gently patted the princess's head, and comforted her, "Princess, be good. Your uncles are lucky, they'll be alright. Don't cry!"

Outside the palace, Hongzhou, sword in hand, shouted at the people in the manor, "Hmph! You cowards, bring out your tricks and schemes! I'm not afraid of you!"

The people in the manor sneered, "Prince He, you're still so reckless! You've barged in here today, so don't expect to leave easily!"

General Zhao Hui responded loudly: "Don't be so arrogant! We are here on the Emperor's orders to investigate. If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently, and perhaps you will be spared!"

After that, the two sides clashed, the sounds of swords clashing filling the air. Hongzhou, agile as ever, quickly repelled several charging henchmen in a few moves, shouting, "Soldiers, do not retreat, charge with me!"

General Zhao Hui also directed his soldiers to deal with the enemy's attacks in an orderly manner, shouting, "Everyone be careful of the enemy's sneak attacks, and look out for each other!"

Meanwhile, in the palace, the head of the Imperial Household Department rushed over anxiously, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Highness! Something has happened again! Strange markings have been found in several palaces in the inner palace, like coded messages left by that mysterious organization!"

Little Swallow's eyes widened in surprise. "What? This is truly impossible to guard against! What exactly does this mysterious organization want to do?!"

Hongli frowned and ordered, "Su Peisheng, take some men and go with the Imperial Household Department to carefully examine and record all those markings. Go now!"

Su Peisheng quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant will take care of it immediately and will not dare to slack off in the slightest!"

Xiao Tao and A Zhu also returned. Xiao Tao said anxiously, "Your Majesty, we overheard some palace maids whispering in the back garden that they saw a strange face acting suspiciously by the palace wall a few days ago, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

Azhu nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Your Highness, it seems that the palace has already been infiltrated by that mysterious organization. We must be extra careful!"

Little Swallow bit her lip and said, "It seems the conspiracy behind this is far more complicated than we imagined!"

On Hongzhou's side, the battle intensified. The enemy outnumbered them and seemed to have been prepared. Hongzhou was also wounded, but he continued to fight bravely, shouting, "Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will wipe you all out!"

Seeing the critical situation, General Zhao Hui shouted to Hong Zhou while fighting the enemy, "Your Highness, we must find a way to break through the encirclement and go out to get reinforcements. We cannot fight head-on!"

Hongzhou replied reluctantly, "Alas, this is the only way. Soldiers, follow me and fight your way out!"

Xiao Yanzi and Hongli in the palace were still anxiously waiting for news from all sides. They knew that the battle against the mysterious organization had reached its most critical and dangerous moment, and the peace of the palace hung by a thread.
