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

Outside the old temple, Furen was still anxiously peering into the cave. He kept rubbing his hands together, his palms already sweaty. His brows furrowed even more, the muscles in his face trembled slightly, and his eyes were wide open, staring intently into the cave. He kept muttering, "Oh dear, why is there still no movement? I hope nothing bad has happened!" As he spoke, he squatted down and leaned forward, wishing he could crawl into the cave to see what was going on. His anxious appearance was evident.

The subordinates around him also looked tense. One of them kept swallowing, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He leaned close to another subordinate's ear and whispered, "I'm really panicking. I feel like something bad is going to happen!" As he spoke, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and kept glancing around as if some danger might suddenly appear.

Another subordinate nodded slightly, his face full of worry, and bit his lip as he said, "Yes, this is too agonizing. I just hope that brother can come out safely!" As he spoke, he unconsciously gripped the sword at his waist, and his feet shifted restlessly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.

Inside the cave, the young henchman cautiously felt his way forward along the cave wall, each step taken with extreme care. He practically clung to the cave wall as he moved, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily. Suddenly, he seemed to touch a protrusion. His fingers froze, his face turning deathly pale. His eyes widened, and he gasped, his voice trembling as he gasped, "This...this can't be some kind of trap, can it?" His hand dared not move again, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he stood frozen, barely daring to breathe.

Inside the palace, Little Swallow paced anxiously in her room, waving her hands frantically. Her face was filled with worry, and her eyes were slightly red. She hurried to the door, then turned back, muttering, "No, I can't wait any longer! I have to go and see what's going on!"

Consort Ling rushed forward and grabbed her arm, her hands tightly gripping Xiao Yanzi's arm. Her face was full of worry and urging, and she said urgently, "Your Majesty, you can't go! It's too dangerous. What will we do if something happens to you!"

Lin Yuxuan jumped up from his chair, clenched his fists, waved them in the air, and shouted, "Sister, I'll go with you! We can't just wait here like this, I'm so anxious!" As he spoke, he ran to Xiao Yanzi's side, his face full of eagerness, and he kept stomping his feet on the ground, as if he was about to rush out the door at any moment.

Lin Yuhang quickly came over, stretched out his hands to stop them, frowned, and said seriously, "Yuxuan, sister, don't be impulsive! If you go out now, you don't know anything. If you get into danger, that would be terrible!" As he spoke, he pulled Lin Yuxuan back forcefully, his eyes showing an undeniable determination.

Xiao Yanzi broke free from Consort Ling's hand, stamped her foot, and said with a sob in her voice, "But I really can't let go of them. If something happens to them, how can I live?" Tears welled up in her eyes, she covered her face with her hands, and her body trembled slightly. Her sad and anxious appearance was heartbreaking.

Inside the imperial study, Hongli's chest heaved violently with rage. He clenched his fists and slammed them heavily on the table, shaking the ink and brushes. His eyes widened in fury as he roared at Su Peisheng, "Su Peisheng, go and urge them again! If there's still no news, I'll hold you responsible!" His voice echoed in the room, filled with authority and anger. His face was flushed red with rage, and the veins on his forehead bulged faintly.

Su Peisheng lay prostrate on the ground, his head banging loudly, pleading in a tearful voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down! This servant will go and urge you again, I'll go right away!" With that, he scrambled to his feet, bowed his body, and hurriedly ran outside. His steps were so frantic that he almost fell. As he ran, he kept looking back at Hongli's face, which was full of fear.

Meanwhile, in the woods surrounding the old temple, several dark figures had already stealthily approached. They crouched low, their footsteps as light as ghosts. One of the figures put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, his eyes sinister, and whispered, "Be careful, don't get caught. We have to get this done today!" The other figures nodded, gripping their weapons tightly, their faces hardening, and slowly closed in on the old temple. An even greater crisis was looming, but they were completely unaware. What a thrilling scene it would be when the danger suddenly descended!
