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

Lin Yuxuan rushed into the library, panting, and said, "Sister, Your Majesty, I've noticed a lot of suspicious people loitering outside the mansion. They seem to have ill intentions!"

Little Swallow exclaimed in surprise, "What? They must be from the Shadow Society! What should we do?"

Hongli calmly said, "Don't panic. Lin Yuxuan, quickly gather the guards in the manor and strengthen the defenses. We cannot let them succeed so easily."

Lin Yuxuan replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! I'll go right away!"

Xiao Tao said nervously from the side, "Miss, Your Majesty, is this library unsafe? Should we find somewhere to hide first?"

Ah Zhu chimed in, "Yes, Miss. It would be terrible if they broke in."

Xiao Yanzi looked at Hongli, who pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's hide these two books first. We'll go to the secret room in the Prime Minister's residence to take refuge. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack there."

So, the group carefully hid the books and headed to the secret room. On the way, Prime Minister Lin arrived and said, "Your Majesty, I have arranged for some guards to hold off the enemy at the gate, but the Shadow Society is coming with great force, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long."

Hongli said, "Lord Lin, do your best. Xiaoyanzi and I will not sit idly by in this secret room; we will find a way to break out of this predicament."

After entering the secret chamber, Xiao Yanzi paced anxiously: "Your Majesty, we cannot remain trapped here indefinitely. We must find a way to notify Hongzhou or General Zhaohui to come to our rescue."

Hongli nodded: "I know. It's just that this secret room is isolated from the outside world, making it difficult to transmit messages."

Just then, they noticed a vent in the secret room. Little Swallow's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, this vent might be useful. We can write a note, tie it to the leg of a carrier pigeon, and release it through the vent. Maybe we can get the message out."

Hongli agreed, saying, "This plan is feasible. Xiaoyanzi, write a note, and I will go and see if there are any other exits around this secret room."

Little Swallow quickly wrote a note, tied it to the carrier pigeon's leg, and released the pigeon. Meanwhile, Hongli carefully searched the area around the secret room but found no other obvious exit.

In the palace, Hongzhou had already arranged for skilled men to go to the Prime Minister's residence. He said to Consort Ling, "Your Majesty, I will take men there immediately. Please be careful in the palace, and inform me immediately if there is any unusual activity."

Consort Ling said worriedly, "Your Highness, you must be very careful. The Emperor and Xiao Yanzi are all counting on you."

Hongzhou led his men at full speed towards the Prime Minister's residence. On the way, they were attacked by a group of men in black. Hongzhou drew his sword and roared, "You henchmen of the Shadow Society, do not obstruct my path!"

The man in black didn't answer and attacked directly. Hongzhou and his men fought back fiercely, and for a moment, swords flashed and shadows danced.

As Hongzhou fought, he shouted, "Do you think you can stop me like this? I will definitely get to the Prime Minister's residence and rescue my brother and sister-in-law!"

Inside the Prime Minister's residence, Xiao Yanzi and Hongli heard the sounds of fighting outside and grew increasingly anxious.

Little Swallow said, "Your Majesty, Hongzhou and the others must be in trouble. We can't just wait around."

Hongli looked at the mechanisms in the secret room and said, "Little Swallow, we can use these mechanisms. When the Shadow Society members break in, we can launch a surprise attack and perhaps fight our way out."

Little Swallow said, "Alright! Then let's fight them!"

The two began studying the mechanism's operation, preparing for the impending battle. Meanwhile, the guards of the Prime Minister's residence, led by Lin Yuxuan, were engaged in a fierce fight with members of the Shadow Society within the mansion. Despite his youth, Lin Yuxuan showed no fear, shouting, "You villains, how dare you trespass into the Prime Minister's residence! Today is your end!"

However, the Shadow Society members seemed to keep arriving, and the situation at the Prime Minister's residence became increasingly critical. On Hongzhou's side, after a fierce battle, he finally repelled the men in black, but suffered heavy losses. He was extremely anxious and led the remaining men on a rapid march towards the Prime Minister's residence.

Inside the Prime Minister's residence, Xiao Yanzi and Hongli have prepared traps, waiting for the Shadow Society to break in. Can they withstand the Shadow Society's attack with their traps and courage? Will Hongzhou arrive in time to rescue them? These multiple crises, like surging waves, are about to engulf them, and the scales of fate sway in this fierce confrontation, the future filled with unknowns and dangers.
