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

Chapter 199 Little Swallow and Hongli: Undercurrents, Proceed with Caution

Little Swallow had just left Little Swallow's place when she ran into Consort Ling.

Consort Ling said sternly, "Little Swallow, how can you let her call the Empress 'elder sister'? That's not proper. She should call her 'Empress Mother'!"

Little Swallow waved her hand dismissively: "Your Highness Consort Ling, it's alright! Let her call me whatever she likes, as long as it sounds friendly to me!"

Consort Ling shook her head helplessly: "You are always so capricious. But in this palace, rules must be followed. If word gets out, it will cause gossip."

Xiao Yanzi replied, "I know, Your Highness, I'll try my best to be careful." But in her heart, she thought, "Hmph, I don't care about any of that. Little Swallow is just my younger self. If I hadn't been reborn here, I might not even recognize myself as a child. I wouldn't care about these rules."

At the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Yuxuan was meeting with his subordinates who had been sent out to gather information.

Lin Yuxuan asked anxiously, "How is it? Have you found any information about Consort Na's spies outside the palace?"

The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Young master, we went to great lengths to find out that Consort Na does indeed have several people she frequently contacts outside the palace. They seem to be common people from the streets, but we need to investigate further to find out what they do."

Lin Yuxuan frowned: "Hmph, they're definitely up to no good! You guys better step up your game and find out the details as soon as possible!"

"Yes, young master, we will go and investigate again immediately." The subordinate accepted the order and left.

Lin Yuhang walked over and said, "Little brother, we need to be careful with this. Don't alert them. Once they notice, it will be difficult to investigate later."

Lin Yuxuan nodded: "Big brother, I understand. I've told them, and they will definitely be careful."

In the Cold Palace, Consort Na complained to Rong Mama, "Mama, we've been waiting for so many days, and we still haven't had a chance to make a move. What are we going to do if this continues?"

Rong Momo's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, this old servant has a plan. We can bribe the eunuchs or maids in the palace to tamper with Little Swallow's food or belongings without anyone noticing. What do you think?"

The concubine hesitated: "Will this work? If we get discovered, we'll be doomed."

Rong Momo advised, "Your Highness, there's no other good way now. Let's just be careful. As long as we do it discreetly, it won't be so easy to be discovered."

Consort Na gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, Granny, we'll do it your way, but you have to keep a close eye on everything and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Hongzhou arrived at another martial arts sect and greeted the sect leader with clasped hands.

"Master Sun, I have come here today to request your assistance in fighting against the mysterious force that is plotting a coup!"

Master Sun rose and returned the greeting: "Your Highness is too kind. When the martial world is in trouble, it is only right to lend a helping hand. But I wonder what Your Highness needs us to do?"

Hongzhou said, "Master Sun, I hope you can gather the best fighters in the hall, and when the time is right, join forces with other martial arts friends and the imperial army to wipe out that evil force and ensure the safety of our dynasty."

Master Sun laughed heartily: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will give the order right away and make sure the brothers are ready to serve Your Highness at any time!"

Little Swallow happened to meet Hongli in the palace garden.

Little Swallow hurriedly went to greet him: "Your Majesty, I just went to see Little Swallow. She is very well-behaved, but I am still worried that Consort Na and the others might do something naughty."

Hongli held Xiaoyanzi's hand: "I was just thinking about this too. I have already asked Su Peisheng to arrange more reliable people to guard Xiaoyanzi's residence. I will definitely not let them succeed."

Xiao Yanzi added, "Your Majesty, Prince Hongzhou is gathering martial arts figures. I wonder how things are going. I hope everything goes smoothly."

Hongli nodded: "I trust Hongzhou to do things. I believe he will soon be able to gather his forces, and then we can launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside and surely thwart the conspiracy of that mysterious force."

At this moment, Su Peisheng hurried over, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Physician Liu has reported that Little Swallow has recently caught a cold, but it's nothing serious. He prescribed some medicine, and she's taking it to recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Little Swallow exclaimed anxiously, "Oh no! How did you get sick? Could someone have secretly sabotaged you?"

Hongli frowned: "Su Peisheng, go and have Physician Liu examine you carefully to see if there is anything unusual. If anyone dares to do something wrong, I will not let them off lightly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant will go right away." Su Peisheng turned and left quickly.

Upon learning that Xiao Xiao Yanzi was sick, Lin Yuxuan said to Lin Yuhang, "Big brother, do you think this could have been done by Na Na Fei and the others? What a coincidence!"

Lin Yuhang pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say right now, but we need to speed up the investigation. If it really was them, we must get the evidence and have the Emperor punish them severely."

Lin Yuxuan clenched his fist: "Yes, we absolutely cannot let them get away with this!"

Hongzhou has received responses from various martial arts sects and branches, all of which have expressed their willingness to help.

Hongzhou happily said to his trusted confidants, "It seems our strength is growing stronger and stronger. Once everything is ready, we will definitely let that mysterious force taste our power!"

The confidant chimed in, "Your Highness is wise. With so many heroes of the martial world helping you, that force is bound to be defeated!"

The concubine, in the Cold Palace, listened to the news gathered by Rong Mama and a smug look appeared on her face.

The concubine said with a sinister smile, "Granny, Little Swallow is sick. This is a good opportunity. We can add fuel to the fire and make sure she doesn't get better."

Rong Momo, however, was somewhat worried: "Your Highness, the palace is heavily guarded these days, it might be difficult to make a move."

The concubine glared at her: "Hmph, there's always a way. Go and devise another plan, or you'll disappoint me!"

The situation inside and outside the palace is becoming increasingly tense, with all sides poised to act. The safety of Little Swallow is a major concern. What other insidious schemes will Consort Na and Rong Momo employ? Will Hong Zhou be able to successfully lead the martial arts forces to cooperate with the court to break the deadlock? And will everyone be able to protect Little Swallow and restore peace to the palace? End of this chapter. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
