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

After finishing his business in the palace, Lin Yuxuan passed by Shufangzhai and heard bursts of laughter and shouts of martial arts practice coming from inside. Curious, he went in and saw Little Swallow waving her little fists, trying her best to practice the moves with Liu Qing and Liu Hong.

"Gege, this move needs to be even faster! Come on, follow me!" Liu Qing shouted loudly.

Little Swallow's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I will definitely study hard!"

Lin Yuxuan smiled and stepped forward: "Gege, you're practicing so diligently, you're sure to become a master in the future."

Little Swallow's eyes lit up: "Brother Lin Yuxuan, do you also think I can do it?"

"Of course! With such hard work, Gege will surely be able to protect the people she wants to protect in the future," Lin Yuxuan encouraged.

Liu Hong said with a smile, "Although Gege is still young, she is making rapid progress. Given time, she might be able to compete with us!"

Little Swallow exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Then I'll work even harder in the future, and I'll protect my sister, Father Emperor, and all of you!"

Seeing Xiao Yanzi's determined look, Lin Yuxuan's heart stirred: "Princess, besides martial arts, knowledge is also very important. Would you like to learn some military strategy?"

Little Swallow tilted her head: "Military strategy? What's that? Can it help me protect everyone?"

"Of course! Learning military strategy is like having the weapon of wisdom, enabling you to come up with better solutions when facing difficulties and enemies," Lin Yuxuan explained patiently.

Little Swallow clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I want to learn! Brother Lin Yuxuan, please teach me quickly."

Lin Yuxuan nodded: "Then starting today, I will set aside some time each day to teach you, okay?"

"That's great! Thank you, Brother Lin Yuxuan!" Little Swallow jumped up with joy.

At this moment, Little Swallow came out of the house. Seeing this scene, she smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, thank you for your trouble. Little Swallow is truly blessed to have you as her teacher."

Lin Yuxuan quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness is too kind. It is my honor to serve Your Highness and Little Swallow."

Hongli then came over and said, "Young Master Lin, your move is excellent. It's always good for Little Swallow to learn more skills in the palace."

Lin Yuxuan said, "Your Majesty is wise. I also hope that Little Swallow can have the ability to protect herself in this complicated palace."

Little Swallow held Hongli's hand and said, "Father, I will definitely study hard and won't let you and my sister worry about me anymore."

Hongli patted her head affectionately: "Okay, Father Emperor believes in you."

While in the Cold Palace, Consort Na grew increasingly anxious as she waited in vain for Hongli's reply.

"Granny, why hasn't the Emperor replied yet? Has he really stopped caring about me?" The concubine paced back and forth in the room.

Rong Momo comforted her, "Your Majesty, perhaps the Emperor is too busy with affairs to deal with them yet. Please wait patiently."

The concubine stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with malice: "No, I can't just sit here and wait to die. Granny, please find out how to contact the people outside. I need to know the mysterious force's next move."

Rong Momo looked troubled: "Your Highness, this is too dangerous. What if we're discovered..."

"Hmph! Without taking risks, how can I have a chance? If I remain trapped in this cold palace, I will never have a chance to turn things around!" the concubine said resolutely.

Rong Momo nodded helplessly: "Yes, Your Highness, this servant will go and think of a solution right away."

Meanwhile, remnants of the mysterious force continued their schemes in the hidden mansion.

"Chief, our informants in the palace have reported that the Emperor has increased patrols, and troops are also feigning military training near the capital. Our operations will likely face even greater difficulties," one of his subordinates said.

The leader sneered, "Hmph, this is nothing but the Emperor's bluff. Our plan remains the same, but we must be even more careful. We must be the first to obtain the secret of the Shadow Pavilion murals."

"But, Chief, how do we break through the palace's defenses?" another subordinate asked.

A sinister glint flashed in the leader's eyes: "We can use those pawns in the palace to create chaos, distract them, and then take advantage of the situation."

In the palace, Consort Ling heard that Little Swallow wanted to learn military strategy and tactics, so she specially had some related books prepared and sent to Shufangzhai.

"Sister, Consort Ling sent these books, saying they will help me study military strategy," Little Swallow said excitedly, holding the books.

Little Swallow smiled and said, "Consort Ling is so thoughtful. You must study these books carefully and not let her down."

Little Swallow nodded: "Yes, I will definitely watch carefully. Once I learn it, I will be able to help even more."

Lin Yuxuan would come to teach Xiaoxiaoyanzi military strategy every day. Xiaoxiaoyanzi studied very diligently and often asked questions that surprised Lin Yuxuan.

"Brother Lin Yuxuan, what should we do if the enemy surrounds us from all sides?" Little Swallow asked, frowning.

Lin Yuxuan pondered for a moment: "At this time, we need to calmly analyze the enemy's weaknesses, concentrate our strength to break through in one direction, and then look for an opportunity to counterattack."

Little Swallow's eyes lit up: "I understand! Just like when I practice martial arts, I find the opponent's weakness and then attack in one fell swoop!"

Lin Yuxuan smiled and nodded: "That's exactly why the princess is so smart."

As the days passed, Little Swallow made considerable progress in martial arts and military strategy. However, the undercurrents within the palace grew increasingly turbulent.

A mysterious force's pawns began operating covertly within the palace, creating minor disturbances and attempting to disrupt the court's order.

"Your Majesty, there has been some minor disturbance in the palace recently. Although it has not caused any major impact, it seems to be deliberately caused by someone," Su Peisheng reported to Hongli.

Hongli frowned: "It seems that the mysterious force is still not giving up and dares to cause trouble in the palace. Issue my decree to strengthen security and find the mastermind behind this."

Little Swallow also said worriedly, "Your Majesty, these people are too wicked. Little Swallow is still growing up, please don't let her get hurt."

Hongli held her hand: "I will protect you. However, people's hearts are unpredictable in this palace, so we must be extra careful."

Upon hearing this, Little Swallow secretly vowed in her heart: "I must grow up quickly and become stronger so that I can help my father and sister share the burden."

Meanwhile, Consort Na, confined to the Cold Palace, awaited news from the mysterious force, hoping to use this power to return to the center of power in the palace.

In this ever-changing palace, Little Swallow's path to adulthood is fraught with challenges. Will the concubine's conspiracy succeed? And how will the mysterious forces stir up even greater storms? End of this chapter. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
