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

Xiao Yanzi and Hongli strolled slowly along the path in the Imperial Garden, their brows furrowed.

Little Swallow broke the silence first: "Your Highness, what exactly is the Shadow Pavilion planning to do at the banquet?"

Hongli pondered for a moment and said, "It is not clear at the moment, but it is definitely something that is not good for us. My dear consort, we must be on guard."

Little Swallow clenched her fist and said, "Hmph! If they dare to come, I will definitely not let them get away with it!"

At this moment, Fucha Fuheng rushed over.

"Your Highness, Miss, I have found some clues," Fu Heng said after bowing.

Hongli asked eagerly, "Fuheng, tell me quickly!"

Fu Heng looked around and lowered his voice: "I have discovered that the Shadow Pavilion is colluding with a court official. This official seems to want to use the banquet as an excuse to create chaos so that the Shadow Pavilion can take advantage of the situation."

Little Swallow's eyes widened: "Which minister is so audacious?"

Fu Heng slowly uttered a name: "Lord Chen".

Hongli frowned: "Lord Chen? He usually seems honest, but I didn't expect him to be involved with the Shadow Pavilion."

Little Swallow snorted, "Who cares who they are? If they dare to ruin our plans, we won't let them off easily!"

As the three were talking, Niohuru Zhixi walked over with Rong Momo.

Zhixi wore a fake smile: "Your Highness, Sister, where are we going?"

Xiao Yanzi said irritably, "Consort, we have things to do, so we don't need you to bother."

Zhixi persisted, "What do you mean by that, sister? I was just concerned about the Prince and you. I heard that a grand banquet is coming soon. Have you prepared any performances?"

Hongli said, "This is a matter between me and Xiaoyanzi, and Consort Hongli need not concern herself with it."

Zhixi was displeased at being rebuffed, but she still tried to remain calm: "Yes, Your Highness, then I will take my leave."

After Zhixi walked away, Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but say, "That Zhixi is definitely up to no good. Your Highness, you must be careful that she doesn't cause trouble at the banquet."

Hongli nodded: "My beloved consort, rest assured, I will take care of it."

Back at his lodgings, Xiao Tao greeted him.

"Miss, Your Highness, Azhu heard some rumors outside today," Xiaotao said.

Little Swallow hurriedly asked, "What rumor?"

Xiao Tao said, "Rumor has it that the Shadow Pavilion has secretly gathered a group of martial arts masters, preparing to launch a surprise attack at the banquet."

Little Swallow was startled: "A martial arts master? This is troublesome."

Hongli remained calm and composed: "My beloved consort, do not panic. I have my own people and I will be able to handle this."

Xiao Yanzi looked at Hongli and felt a little relieved: "Your Highness, with you here, I'm not so scared."

Subsequently, Hongli summoned his trusted confidants to discuss countermeasures.

One of the guards said, "Your Highness, we can set up an ambush around the banquet in advance. Once the Shadow Pavilion members appear, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop."

After thinking for a moment, Hongli shook his head: "That's not a good idea. If they discover the ambush, they will definitely change their plans. We should pretend nothing is wrong and then take them by surprise when they make their move."

Everyone nodded.

Little Swallow also offered her idea: "Your Highness, I can deliberately lure them out at the banquet, and then you can make your move."

Hongli said worriedly, "My dear consort, this is too dangerous."

Little Swallow laughed and said, "Your Highness, I am not so easily hurt by them. I have the original owner's martial arts skills and I can definitely protect myself."

In the Prince Heshuo's residence, Hongzhou sat alone in the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky.

Dilire Yao walked over gently: "Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"

Hongzhou sighed: "Leyao, I still can't forget Xiaoyanzi."

Dilireyao felt a pang of sadness, but still said gently, "Your Highness, since she is no longer meant to be with you, why don't you try to let go?"

Hongzhou remained silent.

With the grand banquet in the palace drawing ever closer, Xiao Yanzi and Hongli intensified their preparations. On one hand, they investigated the details of the collusion between the Shadow Pavilion and Lord Chen, and on the other hand, they set traps.

While searching for information in the library, Xiao Yanzi accidentally discovered an ancient book that recorded a formation that could counter the martial arts of the Shadow Pavilion.

She excitedly ran to tell Hongli, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I've found it!"

Hongli took the ancient book and exclaimed with delight, "My beloved consort, this is truly a blessing from heaven!"

They gathered their men and secretly practiced the formation, waiting for the grand feast to deliver a fatal blow to the Shadow Pavilion.

However, the Shadow Pavilion was also making preparations in full swing, holding several secret meetings with Lord Chen to discuss detailed plans.

Lord Chen said with some worry, "Is this plan really foolproof? If it fails, we'll all be in deep trouble."

The Shadow Pavilion member sneered, "Lord Chen, rest assured, we Shadow Pavilion have never failed in our work. With you in the palace to assist us this time, we are sure to succeed."

As the date of the grand banquet approaches, the atmosphere in the palace grows increasingly tense. Various forces are secretly vying for power. Will Xiao Yanzi and Hongli be able to successfully uncover the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy and emerge victorious in this clash between the palace and the martial world? And will Hongzhou be drawn into this conflict? Everything is shrouded in mystery and tension on the eve of this grand palace banquet, awaiting its unveiling at the banquet itself. The gears of fate are turning faster at this moment, and the intertwining of emotions and schemes becomes increasingly complex and inextricable.
