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

Xiao Yanzi, her brows furrowed, said to Xiao Tao, "Xiao Tao, this sacrificial ceremony is of great importance. The Shadow Pavilion will certainly not let this go easily. I am truly worried."

Xiao Tao comforted her, "Miss, don't worry too much. With the Prince here, the palace will surely be safe."

Little Swallow gently shook her head: "The Shadow Pavilion is full of tricks, and I'm afraid that even Your Highness may make a mistake."

At this moment, Hongli arrived and, upon hearing Xiaoyanzi's words, said, "My beloved consort, do not boost the morale of others while diminishing your own. I have made careful arrangements and will ensure that the Shadow Pavilion will not return alive."

Xiao Yanzi looked up at Hongli and said, "Your Highness, I know you are a strategist, but I can't help but worry that if something goes wrong, the palace will be thrown into chaos."

Hongli grasped Xiaoyanzi's hand: "My beloved consort, trust me. Tell me, what are your thoughts?"

Xiao Yanzi pondered for a moment: "Your Highness, I think the Shadow Pavilion might tamper with the sacrificial offerings, or launch a surprise attack during the ceremony."

Hongli nodded: "What my beloved consort says makes sense. I have arranged for people to carefully inspect the offerings and the ceremony site, and I have also placed experts in ambush all around."

At the Prince of Heshuo's residence, Hongzhou said to Dili Leyao, "Leyao, this palace ceremony is unlikely to be peaceful. Although I cannot be with Xiaoyanzi, I cannot stand by and watch something happen in the palace."

Dilireyao asked, "Your Highness, what do you plan to do?"

Hongzhou sighed, "I can only keep an eye on things in secret and lend a hand if needed. I only hope that Xiaoyanzi and Hongli can successfully resolve the crisis."

In the palace, Niohuru Zhixi complained to Rong Momo in her room: "Momo, look at that Xiao Yanzi. She's with the Prince all day long and has stolen all the limelight. If she makes a great contribution in this sacrificial ceremony, what will we do in the future?"

Rong Momo said fiercely, "Fujin, we can't just sit here and wait to die. We have to think of a way to ruin their plans."

Zhixi hesitated and said, "But if the prince finds out, we'll be in big trouble."

Rong Momo's eyes lit up: "Fujin, we can do it more discreetly. For example, we can tamper with their arrangements to give the people of the Shadow Pavilion an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Then they will fight each other to the death."

Zhixi was a little scared: "This is too dangerous. If it gets out of control, the entire palace will be in trouble."

Rong Momo said seductively, "My lady, fortune and honor are found in danger. If you don't do this, you will only be suppressed by Xiao Yanzi in this palace in the future."

Zhixi gritted her teeth: "Alright then, Granny, please be careful."

Xiao Yanzi and Hongli continued to discuss the sacrificial ceremony.

Xiao Yanzi suddenly said, "Your Highness, should we also inform Sister Fucha? I'm afraid the Shadow Pavilion might harm her."

Hongli said, "I have already sent people to protect my primary consort. She is aware of the seriousness of this matter and will be careful."

In her palace, the primary consort of the Fucha clan said to her maid, "The palace has been turbulent lately. Although I live a secluded life, I cannot remain uninvolved. I only hope that Your Highness and Xiao Yanzi can get through this ordeal smoothly."

The maid said, "Madam, you should think more about yourself and not get too involved."

Lady Fucha shook her head: "As the primary consort, I also have a responsibility for the peace and tranquility of the palace. How can I not care?"

As the day of the sacrifice approached, the atmosphere in the palace grew increasingly tense.

Xiao Yanzi was inspecting the palace layout when she encountered Su Peisheng.

Little Swallow asked, "Eunuch Su, have you noticed anything unusual, whether it's a person or an event?"

Su Peisheng replied respectfully, "Miss, this old servant has not yet discovered it, but this old servant will keep a close eye on it."

Little Swallow added, "Eunuch Su, if there is any disturbance, you must inform the Prince and me immediately."

Su Peisheng nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Miss, this old servant understands."

Meanwhile, Hongzhou quietly entered the palace, found a secluded corner, and seemed to be waiting to meet with someone.

A short while later, a young eunuch rushed over.

Hongzhou asked in a low voice, "How did things go?"

The young eunuch said, "Your Highness, the people of the Shadow Pavilion are indeed planning their actions during the sacrificial ceremony. They also have quite a few people gathering outside the palace."

Hongzhou frowned: "Keep an eye on things, and report back immediately if there are any new developments."

The young eunuch responded and hurriedly left.

Hongzhou thought to himself, "Little Swallow, Hongli, I will definitely lend you a hand this time, even if it's only in secret."

When Xiao Yanzi returned to her room, she said to A Zhu, "A Zhu, bring me my protective armor. I need to be fully prepared."

Ah Zhu quickly took out her soft armor: "Miss, please be careful!"

Xiao Yanzi put on her soft armor: "I will. I can't let the prince face danger alone, nor can I let this palace be destroyed by the Shadow Pavilion."

Amidst the tense preparations, various forces are secretly vying for power. Will Xiao Yanzi and Hongli be able to detect all the hidden dangers and successfully wipe out the Shadow Pavilion? Will Hongzhou's covert assistance play a crucial role? The fate of the palace hangs by a thread, and everyone is fighting on this battlefield without gunpowder.

The palace intrigue is volatile, and the unknown wheel of fate is spinning rapidly. Everything is in the blink of an eye.
