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

Xiao Yanzi and Hongli secretly discussed their plans in a secluded corner of the Imperial Garden.

Little Swallow frowned: "Your Highness, the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy is like a huge net. Can we really catch them all in one fell swoop during the sacrifice?"

Hongli grasped her hand, his gaze firm: "My beloved consort, do not be afraid. I have already arranged for men to be on my side, and I will not let them succeed."

At this moment, Fucha Fuheng rushed over: "Your Highness, the Princess Consort heard that Your Highness has been working hard lately, so she specially prepared some nourishing soup and ordered me to bring it over."

Hongli nodded slightly: "Thank you for your concern, my lady."

Little Swallow looked at the soup and felt a little strange, but she didn't say anything.

Subsequently, Niohuru Zhixi arrived at the scene with Rong Momo.

When Zhixi saw Xiaoyanzi and Hongli together, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes: "Oh, sister and the prince are really inseparable."

Xiao Yanzi rolled her eyes: "Consort, we are discussing important matters. If you have nothing else to do, it would be best not to disturb us."

Zhixi persisted, "In this palace, what can be hidden from me? Your Highness, please don't be deceived by certain people."

Hongli was somewhat displeased: "Zhixi, don't talk nonsense. I know what I'm doing."

Rong Momo chimed in, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is just concerned about you. Things haven't been peaceful in the palace lately, and some people's backgrounds are unclear."

Little Swallow said angrily, "Granny Rong, don't make false accusations!"

While the two sides were deadlocked, Prince Hongzhou and Dilire Yao passed by.

Seeing this scene, Hongzhou felt a mix of emotions, but he still stepped forward and said, "What's going on? Making such a racket in the Imperial Garden, what kind of behavior is this?"

When Hongli saw Hongzhou, his expression softened: "Prince He, you've come at the right time. I was discussing the Shadow Pavilion with Xiaoyanzi when Zhixi and the others came to cause trouble for no reason."

Hongzhou looked at Xiaoyanzi, then at Hongli: "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. It would be best to avoid internal strife."

Dilireba also said softly, "Yes, we are all family, and we should work together."

Xiao Yanzi took a deep breath: "Prince He, the Xinjiang princess is right. We should put aside our prejudices and work together to deal with the Shadow Pavilion."

Zhixi snorted: "Hmph, who knows if she's being sincere."

Hongzhou sighed helplessly, "Zhixi, don't say anymore. Your Highness, Leyao and I are willing to lend you a hand."

Hongli looked at Hongzhou gratefully: "With the help of Prince He, I naturally have a better chance of winning."

After everyone had left, Xiao Yanzi said to Hongli, "Your Highness, although Hongzhou and I have some past entanglements, he is a fairly righteous person. With his help, things might really get better."

Hongli nodded: "What my beloved consort says is absolutely right. I also know his character. However, the affairs of the palace are complicated and there are bound to be changes."

During the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony, Xiao Yanzi noticed that some of the palace maids and eunuchs were behaving suspiciously.

She said to Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, go and keep an eye on those people and see what they're up to."

Xiao Tao accepted the order and left.

Meanwhile, Hongli and Fuheng were in the study discussing security arrangements for the sacrificial ceremony.

Fu Heng said, "Your Highness, I have arranged for elite troops to lie in ambush around the sacrificial site, just waiting for the Shadow Pavilion members to take the bait."

Hongli pondered for a moment: "We must not be careless. The Shadow Pavilion is cunning and treacherous. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Meanwhile, Xiao Tao returned and reported: "Miss, those palace maids and eunuchs secretly gathered in a secluded palace. I heard them saying something like 'during the sacrifice, proceed according to plan,' but I didn't hear the specific plan clearly."

Little Swallow's eyes lit up: "Little Peach, you did a great job. We'll go tell the Prince right away."

Xiao Yanzi found Hongli and told him about it.

Hongli's eyes sharpened: "It seems they have already begun their operation. We need to speed up the preparations."

As the date of the sacrificial ceremony approached, the atmosphere in the palace grew increasingly tense, with everyone harboring their own secrets.

Seeing that Hongli was working day and night, Consort Fucha said with heartache, "Your Highness, you must take care of your health and not overwork yourself."

Hongli looked at her gently: "My lady, I am fine, but the palace will not be at peace until the matter of the Shadow Pavilion is resolved."

Meanwhile, Xiao Yanzi silently prayed that they could successfully uncover the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy and restore peace to the palace. Watching Hongli's busy figure, her heart was filled with worry and love. She knew that this battle against the Shadow Pavilion not only concerned the palace but also her and Hongli's future.

On the eve of this grand palace banquet, various forces, like dark clouds before a storm, gather above the palace, awaiting the tempestuous event of the sacrificial ceremony.
