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

As Xiao Yanzi carefully copied the pattern, she muttered, "Your Highness, this pattern is so intricate and winding, it seems to hide countless secrets. It's really difficult to draw!"

Hongli patiently comforted her, "My dear consort, don't be anxious. Just be careful. This pattern must be the key."

After finishing the copy, Xiao Yanzi straightened up and stretched: "Oh, it's finally done! Your Highness, let's hurry back to the palace. I'm so nervous, I feel like we can't delay any longer!"

Hongli nodded, and the two quickly returned to the palace.

Back in the palace, Xiao Yanzi said impatiently, "Your Highness, let's quickly take out this copy and compare it with the previous clues."

Hongli replied, "Alright, my beloved consort, go and fetch the relevant ancient books we found in the library. We'll study them carefully in the study."

Little Swallow hurriedly ran to get the books, and soon returned carrying a stack of books: "Your Highness, the books have arrived, let's begin!"

The two sat at the table, flipping through and comparing page by page. Little Swallow frowned as she looked at the complicated pictures and text: "Your Highness, this is too complicated. My head is spinning."

Hongli chuckled softly: "My dear consort, do not be impatient. Look at the lines of this pattern; they seem to bear some resemblance to those recorded in this ancient book."

Little Swallow leaned closer to take a look: "Wow, it really is! Your Highness, you're amazing, you even noticed that."

At this moment, Su Peisheng entered, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, Madam, this old servant has heard rumors circulating in the palace recently that the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy seems to be in cahoots with some forces on the frontier."

Hongli's expression hardened: "Oh? Do you have any specific information?"

Su Peisheng shook his head: "Your Highness, it's just a rumor at the moment, and it hasn't been confirmed yet."

Little Swallow said anxiously, "What should we do? If they really collude with the border region, then we'll be in big trouble!"

Hongli pondered for a moment: "Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, let's continue to look for answers from these patterns and clues. If it really involves the border, General Zhaohui will definitely be able to provide some assistance."

Just then, Fucha Fuheng came to see him.

Fucha Fuheng entered and bowed: "Your Highness, I have received news that some of the Shadow Pavilion's strongholds in the capital seem to be making unusual moves, as if they are planning something new."

Hongli's eyes darkened: "Fuheng, go and send someone to keep an eye on them. I want to see what tricks they can pull."

Fu Heng accepted the order and left.

Xiao Yanzi looked at Hongli with concern: "Your Highness, the Shadow Pavilion is so rampant, will we be able to handle it?"

Hongli held Xiaoyanzi's hand: "My dear consort, rest assured, as long as we work together, we will surely be able to break this conspiracy and protect the palace."

Although Hongzhou was married in the Prince Heshuo Mansion, he still often thought about Xiaoyanzi.

Dilire Yao looked at Hong Zhou, who was lost in thought again, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart: "Your Highness, are you thinking about her again?"

Hongzhou came to his senses: "Leyao, don't worry, but I can't help but have some concerns about matters of the palace."

Dilire Yao gently shook her head: "Your Highness, how could I not know your thoughts? I only hope that you can look at me more."

Hongzhou sighed: "Leyao, I will try to let it go. Give me some time."

Meanwhile, in the palace, Niohuru Zhixi learned that Xiao Yanzi and Hongli were investigating the Shadow Pavilion again, and she felt resentful.

Zhixi said to Rong Mama, "Mama, those two are so persistent, we can't let them succeed. We have to think of a way to thwart them."

Rong Momo squinted her eyes: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this old servant will definitely find a way to make them suffer."

Xiao Yanzi and Hongli continued their research in the study when suddenly, Xiao Yanzi discovered a subtle connection.

Little Swallow excitedly pointed to the ancient book: "Your Highness, look here! These symbols seem to correspond to those on the copied pattern. Have we found the key?"

Hongli took a closer look and his eyes lit up with surprise: "My dear consort, you are truly intelligent. This may be the key. If we can decipher the meaning of this symbol, we will surely know the core of the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy."

Just as they were preparing to investigate further, news came that an old minister in the palace seemed to be secretly communicating with the Shadow Pavilion.

Hongli was furious: "I have treated them well, yet some of them dare to collude with the Shadow Pavilion. This must be thoroughly investigated!"

Little Swallow also said angrily, "Your Highness, how many people in this palace have been bribed by the Shadow Pavilion? It's truly despicable!"

They are increasingly entangled in the vortex of court intrigue, each step fraught with danger and challenge. Can they, with their wisdom and courage, emerge from this fog of mystery, unravel the secrets of the Shadow Pavilion, and protect the peace of the court and their love? Everything remains unknown; only by steadfastly moving forward, continuing their legend amidst the court's turbulent currents, fearlessly facing the surging undercurrents, and patiently awaiting a turning point in their destiny.
