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

After receiving the imperial decree, Lin Yuxuan immediately began an in-depth investigation into the connections between the Xuan Ying Sect and officials in the imperial court. Disguised, he traversed the streets and alleys of the capital, searching for clues.

One day, Lin Yuxuan overheard two martial arts practitioners talking in hushed tones in a secluded teahouse.

One of them whispered, "Have you heard? The Xuan Ying Sect seems to be plotting something big lately, something related to the palace."

The other person said nervously, "Don't say anything more. If you get involved in this kind of thing, you'll suffer the consequences."

Lin Yuxuan's heart stirred, and after the two left, he quietly followed them. He followed them to a quiet courtyard, where he hid in a corner and eavesdropped.

A voice came from inside the courtyard: "My lord, the Xuan Ying Sect is all ready and is just waiting for your signal."

A deep voice replied, "Hmph, this time we must show them our strength, but we must not alert them, especially that kid Hongli, he's very shrewd."

Lin Yuxuan was greatly alarmed. Who exactly was this official in the court? How dare he act so recklessly? He left cautiously, preparing to return to the palace to report.

While in the palace, Hongzhou was not idle either; he visited various heroes of the martial arts world. In a dilapidated temple, Hongzhou met several renowned figures from the martial arts community.

Hong Zhou clasped his hands in a salute: "Heroes, the palace is under attack, and the Xuan Ying Sect is behind it. This sect is colluding with treacherous officials in the court, endangering the peace of the palace. I hope you will lend a helping hand."

An old man frowned and said, "Fifth Prince, the Xuan Ying Sect acts in a mysterious way. Although we are interested, we need to plan carefully and not act rashly."

Hongzhou said anxiously, "Time is of the essence! If this drags on any longer, there is a risk of great chaos in the palace!"

At this moment, a young swordsman stepped forward: "Fifth Prince, we are willing to follow you and first investigate the true strength of the Xuan Ying Sect."

Hongzhou was overjoyed: "Great! With everyone's help, we are sure to achieve something."

Meanwhile, in the inner palace, Little Swallow and Consort Ling accompanied Little Swallow in her bedchamber.

Little Swallow, holding a small shuttlecock, said happily, "Empress Dowager, Consort Ling, let's play shuttlecock!"

Little Swallow smiled and said, "Okay, baby."

After kicking for a while, Xiao Yanzi said to Consort Ling, "Your Majesty, I'm always worried about the Emperor and Yu Xuan. When will this palace intrigue ever end?"

Consort Ling comforted her, saying, "Little Swallow, His Majesty is wise and powerful, and he will surely resolve this crisis. You should just stay in the palace and take good care of Little Swallow."

Little Swallow sighed helplessly, "That's all we can do."

After returning to the palace, Lin Yuxuan immediately requested an audience with Hongli.

Lin Yuxuan said urgently, "Your Majesty, I have found an important clue! I have heard that some officials in the court are secretly colluding with the Xuan Ying Sect, intending to harm the palace, but the identity of the official has not yet been confirmed."

Hongli's eyes were cold and stern: "I knew this matter was not simple. Lin Yuxuan, continue investigating the official's identity. How is the matter of Hongzhou gathering heroes from the martial arts world progressing?"

Lin Yuxuan replied, "His Highness Hongzhou has already found some martial arts figures willing to help him, and he is probably already planning to investigate the Xuan Ying Sect."

Hongli nodded: "I cannot sit idly by and wait for death. I must strengthen the defenses in the palace to prevent them from launching a sudden attack. Fuheng, go and arrange this matter."

Fuheng accepted the order: "Your subject obeys."

At this moment, Hong Zhou led his group of martial arts heroes toward the valley where the Xuan Ying Sect was located. They proceeded cautiously along the way, fearing that the Xuan Ying Sect would discover their presence.

Hongzhou said to everyone, "Everyone, this trip to Xuanying Sect is fraught with danger, so please be careful."

A chivalrous man laughed and said, "Fifth Prince, rest assured, we've seen all kinds of dangers in our travels."

As they approached the valley where the Xuan Ying Sect was located, they found the surroundings eerily quiet, with a faint air of gloom about them.

Hong Zhou whispered, "It seems that the Xuan Ying Sect is indeed not simple. Everyone, be on high alert!"

The group slowly entered the valley, unaware of the dangers that awaited them. Meanwhile, in the palace, Xiao Yanzi anxiously awaited news, while Hongli busily orchestrated everything in his study. Inside and outside the palace, the winds of change were blowing, and various forces continued their struggle on this battlefield without visible smoke.
