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

The first rays of dawn pierced through layers of mist, gently illuminating every inch of the palace grounds, yet the stench of blood and gunpowder still lingered in the air. In the main square of the palace, imperial guards escorted a group of dejected men in black, their clothes tattered and disheveled, their faces etched with despair and fear.

"Speak! Who else is involved? Don't even think about hiding anything, or you'll be begging for death!" Imperial Guard Commander Li Mingtang roared, his eyes wide with fury, the whip in his hand cracking in the air. His brows were furrowed, his eyes revealing an undeniable authority, his body ramrod straight, displaying an imposing presence.

A man in black raised his head, trembling, his voice shaking: "Sir, I...I'll talk, there are...there are a few more strongholds in the west of the city, please spare my life!" His hands were tied behind his back, his knees were bent, almost kneeling down, his eyes were full of pleading, and his body was trembling incessantly.

Li Mingtang snorted coldly: "Hmph, spare my life? Wait until you confess everything you know!" His eyes were icy as he glared fiercely at the man in black, then turned to his subordinates and said: "Immediately send men to the stronghold in the west of the city and make sure to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" He waved his hands forcefully, issuing the order, his eyes revealing decisiveness and resolve.

At this moment, in the Imperial Garden, Xiao Yanzi, Lin Yuhang, Consort Ling, and Lin Yuxuan emerged from behind the artificial hill. Xiao Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on her face: "We're finally safe. This time, we owe it all to Lin Yuhang and the Imperial Guards." She gently placed her hands on her chest, her eyes filled with gratitude, her cheeks slightly flushed from relaxation, and her body no longer tense.

Consort Ling wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said softly, "Yes, Your Majesty, this was truly a close call. I'm so glad you weren't injured." She smiled, her eyes filled with concern, and gently smoothed Xiao Yanzi's slightly disheveled hair with both hands, leaning forward slightly to show her exceptional care.

Lin Yuxuan patted his chest and said casually, "Sister, if something like this happens again, I'll definitely be able to protect you!" His eyes gleamed with determination, he clenched his fists to show his strength, and a confident smile spread across his face.

Lin Yuhang smiled and patted Lin Yuxuan's head: "Okay, but don't be impulsive in the future, and be sure to act within your capabilities." His eyes were gentle, and a doting smile was on his face. He gently patted Lin Yuxuan's shoulder, his arm hanging naturally at his sides, his gesture affectionate.

Inside the prison, Suksaha heard the commotion outside and knew that all was lost. He slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's all over..." His hair was disheveled, his face was filled with despair, his hands hung limply at his sides, and his body was curled up in a ball. His former arrogance had vanished.

The jailer stepped forward and sneered, "Hmph, now you know it's all over? Why didn't you think about the consequences when you did these evil deeds!" The jailer crossed his arms, his eyes filled with contempt, and leaned forward slightly, glaring angrily at Suksaha.

Inside the imperial study, Hongli sat on the dragon throne, his face grim, looking down at the kneeling ministers below. "You were completely unaware of the Sukesaha rebellion. What is your punishment?" His eyes were icy, his voice low yet intimidating. He gripped the armrests tightly, leaned forward slightly, and glared at the ministers.

One minister trembled with fear and immediately kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive us. We deserve to die. It was our dereliction of duty that we failed to discover Suksaha's conspiracy in time." His forehead was pressed to the ground, his hands were on the ground, his voice trembled violently, and his body trembled incessantly.

Hongli snorted coldly: "Hmph, dereliction of duty? I think you are negligent and careless, relying on your high positions and power, and not paying attention to the affairs of the court!" He frowned, his eyes revealing anger and disappointment, and slammed his hands on the armrest, making a dull sound.

At this moment, Li Mingtang walked in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the rebels have been basically eliminated, and the remaining fugitives are being pursued with all our might." He stood tall and straight, his eyes were firm, his hands were clasped together, his voice was loud and clear, and his face was filled with the joy of victory.

Hongli nodded slightly: "Good, you deserve great credit for this. Issue the order to reward all the soldiers who participated in suppressing the rebellion." His eyes revealed satisfaction, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He waved his hands gently and gave the order.

In the palace corridors, maids and eunuchs began cleaning up the battlefield, clearing away bloodstains and debris. The sunlight grew brighter, reflecting a dazzling light onto the palace's glazed tiles. This dramatic rebellion had finally come to an end, but its impact had left a deep mark on everyone's hearts. The palace, too, would face new changes and challenges in the future.
