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

Since Xiao Jian brought news of the mysterious organization, the palace appeared calm on the surface, but secretly, Hongli had strengthened defenses on all sides. Xiao Yanzi, meanwhile, kept this matter on her mind, often falling into deep thought.

It was a sunny afternoon. Little Swallow had heard that Liu Qing and Liu Hong had opened a restaurant called Huibinlou outside the palace, and that it was doing very well, so she wanted to go and see for herself. She skipped and hopped up to Little Swallow and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go to Huibinlou to see what's going on. I heard it's very lively!"

Looking at Little Swallow's lively appearance, Little Swallow smiled and said, "Okay, go play. But be careful and come back early."

The little swallow nodded vigorously and happily ran out of the palace.

The Huibinlou restaurant was bustling with people. Liu Qing and Liu Hong were very busy, and when they saw Little Swallow arrive, they hurriedly went to greet her.

"Little Swallow, you've finally arrived!" Liu Hong said with a smile.

"It's so lively here!" Little Swallow exclaimed excitedly, looking around.

Just then, Xiao Jian came downstairs. Seeing Little Swallow, he smiled and said, "Little sister, you've come too."

Little Swallow ran over and grabbed Xiao Jian's hand: "Brother Xiao Jian, you're here too!"

Xiao Jian patted Xiao Xiao Yanzi's head and said, "I'll stay here now. I'm just idling around anyway, and I can lend a hand to Liu Qing and Liu Hong."

Just then, Yongqi and Erkang walked in. Yongqi said with a smile, "This is really a great place. It's always so lively every time I come here."

Erkang nodded in agreement: "Yes, Liu Qing and Liu Hong are getting more and more famous in the capital."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone found a large table by the window and sat down. At this time, Liu Hong brought out some local specialties and dishes, and everyone ate, drank, and chatted.

"Xiao Jian, you said you've been investigating what happened back then. Have you made any new progress?" Yongqi asked.

Xiao Jian frowned slightly and shook his head: "Not yet. That mysterious organization is too well hidden. I've only found some vague clues so far, and I need more time to verify them."

Although Xiao Yanzi wasn't present, everyone understood that this event held special significance for her.

"We'll find out the truth eventually. With so many of us, we're sure we can uncover it," Er Kang said firmly.

Little Swallow listened from the side, seemingly understanding but not quite. She asked curiously, "Brother Xiao Jian, you said our original names weren't what we have now. So what were we originally called?"

Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Yanzi with tenderness in his eyes: "Little sister, our father gave us these names. My name is Fang Yan, and your name is Fang Ci."

"Fang Yan, Fang Ci..." Little Swallow murmured these two names, feeling both unfamiliar and familiar.

"That's a really nice name, but why didn't we use it later?" Little Swallow asked again.

Xiao Jian sighed softly: "Back then, our family suffered a misfortune. In order to protect you and avoid some danger, we had to change our names."

Little Swallow nodded, seemingly understanding, "Oh, I see."

Just then, a clear laugh came from the doorway. Everyone turned to look and saw Qing'er walking in with light steps.

"Qing'er, what brings you here too?" Yongqi said with delight.

Qing'er smiled and said, "I heard it was lively here, so I came to see. I didn't expect you all to be here."

Qing'er walked to the table, greeted everyone, and then sat down.

“Qing’er, you’ve come at the right time. We were just talking about some things from back then,” Er Kang said.

Qing'er was slightly taken aback: "The matter from back then? Is it about Sister Xiao Yanzi and Brother Xiao Jian's family?"

Xiao Jian nodded: "Yes, I have been investigating the truth behind my father's framing back then, and I always feel that there is a mysterious organization controlling everything behind the scenes."

Qing'er frowned, looking worried: "Then we have to be careful. This mysterious organization must be extraordinary to have been able to hide for so long."

“Yes, that’s why we all need to be careful,” Yongqi said. “If we all work together, we can definitely protect the people around us.”

The group chatted animatedly, creating a lively atmosphere. This gathering at the Huibinlou restaurant brought everyone closer together. They all knew that many unknown challenges might await them, but as long as they were united, nothing could stop their determination to pursue the truth and protect their families.

Just then, Xiao Jian suddenly thought of something. He looked at everyone and said, "We can't just passively investigate. Perhaps we can take the initiative, lure the snake out of its hole, and see if we can draw out the people from that mysterious organization."

Yongqi's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea, but how exactly do we do it?"

Xiao Jian smiled slightly, a hint of wisdom flashing in his eyes: "We can..."

However, before Xiao Jian could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the Huibin Building, as if something major had occurred. Everyone was startled and rose to their feet, looking out the windows…
