Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty
Chapter 80 Tracing the Predicament
Xiao Yanzi frowned and said to Hongli, "Your Highness, these eunuchs and palace maids are frightening to look at. I wonder if we can get anything out of them!"
Hongli's expression was solemn: "My dear consort, don't rush. Let's try first; it's better than having no clue at all."
Upon arriving at the interrogation area, Little Swallow loudly demanded, "Who among you will speak first? If you utter even a single lie, I will not forgive you!"
A young eunuch knelt down with a thud, crying out, "Miss Little Swallow, no, Your Highness, this servant really only overheard some rumors that came from a secluded corner of the Imperial Garden. I truly know nothing else!"
Little Swallow glared at him: "That's all? Do you think I'm easy to fool!"
Another palace maid, trembling, said, "Your Highness, I saw a mysterious person in black appear in that corner, as if they were exchanging messages with someone. But it was too dark, and I couldn't see who it was."
Hongli pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you hear what the man in black said? Even just a few words would be helpful."
The young eunuch struggled to recall: "Your Highness, I think I heard the words 'mural' and 'plan,' but nothing else. Please, Your Highness, spare me!"
Xiao Yanzi and Hongli exchanged a glance, both feeling that this must be closely related to the murals in the Shadow Pavilion.
Little Swallow muttered, "What on earth is the Shadow Pavilion up to? They keep bringing up that mural!"
Hongli clenched his fist: "No matter what, I will get to the bottom of this and never let their conspiracy succeed."
At this moment, Fucha Fuheng arrived and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have already sent people to secretly investigate throughout the palace. If there are any suspicious people, they will surely be found."
Little Swallow nodded: "Lord Fuheng, we're counting on you this time. You must catch those bastards who are pulling the strings behind the scenes."
Fu Heng replied, "Princess Consort, please rest assured, this is my duty."
Although Hongzhou tried his best to get along with Dili Leyao at the Prince Heshuo Mansion, he still couldn't forget Xiao Yanzi.
Dilire Yao looked at Hong Zhou's dazed expression and felt a pang of sorrow in her heart: "Your Highness, are you thinking about her again?"
Hongzhou snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Leyao, no, it's just some troublesome matters of the Prince's residence."
Dilireyao sighed softly, "Your Highness, if you truly cannot let go, I..."
Hong Zhou interrupted her: "Le Yao, don't say anything more. I will treat you well."
Meanwhile, in the palace, Niohuru Zhixi and Rong Momo were plotting something again.
Zhixi bit her lip: "Granny, Xiaoyanzi and Hongli are investigating very closely now, what should we do?"
Rong Momo smiled sinisterly: "Don't worry, Madam. This old servant has a plan. I will make sure they are in an even greater predicament."
Just as Xiao Yanzi and Hongli were searching for clues, news suddenly came that the Prime Minister's residence seemed to have been caught up in the turmoil.
Little Swallow was shocked: "Your Highness, how could this involve my Prime Minister's residence? I have to go back and check!"
Hongli stopped her, saying, "My dear consort, it may be dangerous for you to go back now. I will send someone to help you."
But Xiao Yanzi was extremely anxious: "Your Highness, those are my family, how can I leave them alone? I must go back!"
Left with no other choice, Hongli had to accompany Xiaoyanzi to the Prime Minister's residence.
Upon arriving at the Prime Minister's residence, they found it in complete chaos.
Prime Minister Lin frowned deeply: "My daughter, for some reason, recently there have been some shady people spying outside the mansion, and I have also received some inexplicable threatening letters, saying that they are related to your affairs in the palace."
Little Swallow said angrily, "Father, it must be those bad guys trying to threaten me. Don't be afraid, the Prince and I will definitely handle it."
Lin Yuhang also asked, "Sister, what exactly happened? Who did you offend in the palace?"
Xiao Yanzi briefly explained the situation, and Lin Yuhang clenched his fist: "Sister, even though I am in the manor, I will definitely not let you and your family be bullied. I am willing to investigate with the Prince."
Hongli nodded: "It is good that Young Master Lin has such a good intention. More people means more strength."
Just then, Lin Yuxuan ran over and grabbed Xiao Yanzi's hand: "Sister, I'm so scared. Will those people hurt us?"
Little Swallow comforted him, "Xuan'er, don't be afraid, your older sister is here."
While everyone in the Prime Minister's residence was discussing, Xiao Tao suddenly said from the side, "Miss, I remember seeing a strange pattern in the mansion before, which looks a bit like the mural in the Shadow Pavilion that you mentioned."
Little Swallow exclaimed in surprise, "Little Peach, what did you say? Where did you see that?"
Xiao Tao tried hard to recall: "Miss, it was on the wall of that abandoned house in the backyard. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, it's very strange."
The group hurried to the abandoned house in the backyard, where they saw a blurry pattern on the wall that was somewhat similar to the murals in the Shadow Pavilion.
Hongli examined it carefully: "It seems that the Prime Minister's residence is also intricately connected with the Shadow Pavilion. The conspiracy behind this is becoming increasingly complex."
Little Swallow asked anxiously, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Hongli pondered for a moment: "My dear consort, first make a copy of this pattern, then go back to the palace and compare it carefully with the previous clues. We're sure to find some breakthroughs."
So, everyone acted according to plan. Xiao Yanzi and Hongli, carrying the copied patterns and filled with worry and unwavering determination, hurriedly returned to the palace, ready to continue unraveling the mystery of this intrigue, seeking the truth, protecting their families and the peace of the palace, undaunted by unknown hardships and dangers, single-mindedly hoping to tear a crack of hope through these difficulties, reveal the truth to the world, continue their legendary journey, and await a turning point. End of Chapter.
