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

In the imperial study, Xiao Yanzi, still worried, said to Hongli, "Your Majesty, Consort Na has been banished to the Cold Palace, but she still hasn't given up! She's still plotting against Little Swallow. What should we do?"

Hongli frowned, his eyes filled with worry and anger: "Hmph! How dare she be so audacious! I will not let her off easily! I have already increased the number of people protecting Little Swallow, and I believe she will not be able to succeed so easily."

Little Swallow paced anxiously: "But that Rong Mama is the most cunning; who knows what kind of underhanded tricks she might come up with!"

At this moment, Su Peisheng walked in, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this old servant thinks it would be good to have Physician Liu keep a close eye on the princess's diet and daily life, just in case!"

Little Swallow's eyes lit up: "That's right, Eunuch Su, that's a good idea! Physician Liu's medical skills are superb. With him keeping an eye on things, he'll be able to spot something in time."

Hongli nodded: "Su Peisheng, I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you tell Physician Liu to be careful."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant will take care of it immediately." Su Peisheng acknowledged the order and withdrew.

At the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Yuxuan found Lin Yuhang again and said anxiously, "Brother, I'm still uneasy! We can't just wait here like this!"

Lin Yuhang patted his shoulder: "Little brother, I understand you're anxious, but the situation is unclear right now. If we act rashly, we might bring trouble to the family."

Lin Yuxuan clenched his fist: "But I really can't swallow this insult. That Consort and Granny Rong have caused trouble for our family time and time again. How can we just sit idly by!"

Lin Yuhang pondered for a moment: "How about we secretly inquire whether Consort Na has any spies or accomplices outside the palace? Starting from this angle, we might be able to find some evidence so that the Emperor can punish them thoroughly."

Lin Yuxuan's eyes lit up: "Big brother, that's a great idea! Let's go arrange it right away."

In the Cold Palace, Consort Na angrily said to Rong Mama, "Mama, the Emperor and Little Swallow are too wary of her. It won't be easy for us to make a move against that little swallow!"

Rong Momo sneered, "Your Highness, don't be hasty. We can hold back for now and wait until they lower their guard before looking for an opportunity. This old servant doesn't believe that little swallow can be protected so perfectly at all times."

The concubine still looked worried: "But if we get found out, we're really finished!"

Rong Momo comforted her, "Your Highness, fortune favors the bold. As long as we can bring down Xiao Yanzi and make the Emperor lose interest in her, our lives will be much easier from now on."

The concubine bit her lip: "Alright, Granny, I'll do as you say, but you have to be careful."

Hongzhou was at the escort agency, discussing with Zhao, the head escort, about gathering martial arts figures.

Hongzhou asked, "Chief镖Zhao, how many reliable men can you gather? Time is of the essence, we need to get the manpower together as soon as possible."

Zhao, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), bowed and replied, "Your Highness, our镖局 (escort agency) can spare twenty or thirty skilled men. In addition, I have also sent people to contact several other trustworthy sects. I estimate we can gather about a hundred men."

Hongzhou's face lit up with joy: "Excellent! However, we must give these people a good talking-to. The force we are facing this time is very cunning, so we must not be careless."

Zhao, the head镖师, nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, all those who come are loyal and capable, and they will certainly not bring shame to Your Highness."

Xiao Yanzi then went to find Consort Ling to hear her opinion.

As soon as Xiao Yanzi saw Consort Ling, she said, "Consort Ling, please help me think of a way. That Consort and Rong Mama are after Xiao Yanzi. How can we completely cut off their thoughts?"

Consort Ling held Xiao Yanzi's hand and said softly, "Xiao Yanzi, our priority now is to ensure Xiao Yanzi's safety. As long as she is safe, Consort Na and her gang won't be able to cause any trouble. Besides, the Emperor has already begun investigating the spies within the court. Once those people are caught, Consort Na and her gang will be without their help and won't be a threat."

Xiao Yanzi sighed, "Well, that's all we can do. We can only hope that Prince Hongzhou can successfully gather the martial arts figures so that we can attack from both sides and deal with that mysterious force."

Consort Ling smiled and comforted him, "Your Highness has many friends and will surely succeed. Don't worry about it."

After Lin Yuxuan and Lin Yuhang arranged for people to secretly investigate the concubine's situation outside the palace, the two chatted again.

Lin Yuxuan said, "Big brother, do you think we'll find any useful clues this time? We can't let it all be for nothing!"

Lin Yuhang looked at him and said earnestly, "Little brother, no matter what the outcome, let's do our best. This is for the sake of our family's stability, and also to help Xiaoyanzi and the Emperor."

Lin Yuxuan nodded: "Big brother is right. We can't just stand by and watch those bad guys get away with it."

After leaving the escort agency, Hongzhou went to another gang in the martial arts world.

He bowed respectfully to the gang leader and said, "Sect Leader Chen, it's been a long time. I've come today to ask for your help!"

Sect Leader Chen hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness is too kind. Please speak freely."

When Hongzhou explained the situation, Sect Leader Chen's expression changed: "Such a thing has happened! Your Highness, rest assured, although my sect is not large, every one of us is capable of fighting on the battlefield. We are willing to obey Your Highness's orders and fight against those treacherous officials together."

Hongzhou said gratefully, "Sect Leader Chen is very righteous. I thank you very much! I will definitely repay you handsomely after this matter is settled."

Little Swallow, while in the palace, went to visit Little Swallow again. Holding her hand, she admonished her, "Little Swallow, you must be careful and not run around, understand? There are bad people outside eyeing you!"

Little Swallow blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Sister, bad guys? Who are they? Why are they targeting me?"

Little Swallow patted her head: "Oh, don't worry about who it is, just listen to your sister and stay in the safe place in the palace!"

Little Swallow nodded obediently: "Yes, sister, I'll listen to you."

Everyone inside and outside the palace is busy dealing with the crisis, but the mysterious force's conspiracy still lurks in the shadows, and the concubine and Rong Momo's vicious plans have not stopped. Can they successfully break the deadlock, protect Little Swallow, and thwart the coup plot? End of this chapter. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
