Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 553 - 552: Conflict
Ye Zhi didn’t want to say much, she brushed off a few words and then walked out, leaving a sentence: "If you find anything, report to me immediately, I won’t treat you unfairly."
As her words fell, she stepped out the door and disappeared.
Zhou Long gazed infatuatedly in her direction as she left, softly saying, "Okay."
Sadly, the beauty would never know his feelings.
After leaving the side hall, Ye Zhi, accompanied by her close friends and maids, headed in the direction of the Prince Jin Mansion.
The phrase "narrow road for enemies" is never outdated.
On the way to the Prince Jin Mansion, they encountered Crown Prince Li Changnian and Crown Prince Consort Li Changlan, followed by a large group of attendants.
The position of consort was originally Ye Zhi’s, but her mother rejected it under the pretext of having a child husband, and it fell onto Princess Linghua, Li Changlan.
Originally intending to lower her head and pass by quickly, unexpectedly!
"Bold, why do you not salute and kneel when you see the Crown Prince?"
Li Changnian was already at daggers drawn with Shen Chen, and he had imprisoned Liu Qingxi for more than half a year, causing the beauty to suffer greatly. When she came out of prison, he almost didn’t recognize her as his beloved, which only deepened his resentment. He couldn’t do anything to Shen Chen, but could he not handle Ye Zhi?
Ye Zhi could see the hatred in his eyes, reluctantly bowed and paid her respects, saying: "Greetings, Crown Prince."
"Oh, so this is Madam Shen, not much indeed."
The speaking woman had a plain beauty, not outstanding, best described as a dainty maiden, with her delicate hair in a sloping Lingyun hair bun, a meticulously crafted hairpin diagonally inserted, obediently leaning by the Crown Prince’s side, none other than Crown Prince Consort Li Changlan.
Her tone was also mixed with a restless clamor!
Huanhuan frowned slightly, seeing that the Crown Prince and Consort bore ill intentions, it was best to leave first: "Crown Prince, we have already paid our respects, if there is nothing else, we shall take our leave."
She pulled the others, wanting to leave.
Li Changnian, angered, shouted: "Bold, did the Crown Prince say you could leave? This is simply intolerable."
Ye Zhi protected the pregnant Huanhuan behind her, defiantly standing her ground: "Crown Prince, this is Lingyang Street, not a place for you to flaunt your power. Your territory is the Eastern Palace, not here to shout arrogantly. As the Crown Prince of a nation, you should work for the people’s welfare, ordained by heaven, granting longevity and prosperity. Instead of flaunting your power here, why not ponder upon these words."
With Li Qian’s rise, Li Changnian’s position as Crown Prince was already precarious, and now publicly questioned, he said sternly: "Bold peasant, how dare you confront the Crown Prince on the street. Someone, seize her and imprison her in the Ministry of Justice for questioning."
The attendants behind received the order and swarmed to seize her.
Ye Zhi naturally refused to be captured easily, she fought on the street, subtly signaling Ming Yan to take Huanhuan away from trouble, to hide aside.
Huanhuan was anxious inside, wanting to go out and help, but was held back, held back by Ming Yan: "Miss Huanhuan, you’re three months pregnant, you mustn’t act rashly. If anything happens to you, the young lady will not let it go."
Huanhuan did not deny it: "But I can’t just do nothing."
"Here’s what, observe the situation quietly on the side, don’t go out easily, at this time, the master has already finished court, I’ll go to the Imperial Palace to seek him." Ming Yan said, her small frame already avoiding the battlefield stealthily, heading towards the Imperial Palace.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the attendants by the Crown Prince were all over the place, lying on the street.
Li Changnian’s face was even darker, and he shouted across the distance: "Ji San, are you all dead? Get her for me."
The Hidden Guards lurking in the shadows trembled thrice.
