Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 554 - 553: Neither Side Will Yield

The one shaking the most was Guard Ji San, who still bore scars after being beaten by Pri Minister Shen under the pretense of sparring last ti, and now he dared not provoke the Pri Minister’s wife...

However, the Crown Prince has given an order, and he dares not disobey!

As soon as Li Changnian finished speaking, six Hidden Guards appeared under the broad daylight around them.

Ye Zhi was unfazed. Among their followers, soone carried a ihua Spear, which she deftly seized and wielded with ease, as if welcoming a challenge.

The ihua Spear moved nimbly in her hands, unpredictable and formidable.

The citizens dared not watch, fearing they would get into trouble, leaving the entire street empty.

By chance, the passing Imperial Guards were led by Xiao Yong, a mber of the Crown Prince Faction. Li Changnian imdiately instructed him to apprehend Ye Zhi.

In an instant, more people joined the fray.

A delicately beautiful woman wielding a ihua Spear fought fiercely against the n, holding her own. As a sword thrust towards her, she barely avoided it, and her hairpin was knocked off, letting her raven-black hair flow free.

Huanhuan felt anxious in her heart. Despite being three months pregnant, she rushed forward, snatched a long spear, and joined the battle.

Fortunately, the fight did not last long before it was noticed by people from the Investigation Factory.

Ling Que had just returned to the capital after completing a mission when she encountered her lady in conflict with the Crown Prince on the street. She quickly led the cavalry to rescue them, darting forward with a sweep of her Green Blade Sword, injuring two Imperial Guards, and reached Ye Zhi and Huanhuan’s side. "Madam, what happened?"

Ye Zhi’s almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she complained, "The Crown Prince attacked without cause, accusing of causing trouble and wanting to drag to the Ministry of Justice. Naturally, I refused, and that’s why the conflict began."

"Is that so?" Ling Que nodded thoughtfully.

With the arrival of the cavalry, the situation was quickly brought under control.

The two factions stood at odds, each unwilling to yield.

anwhile, as Ming Yan finally reached the palace gate, a few ministers leisurely exited the court, but the son-in-law’s carriage was nowhere in sight. Anxious to notify her son-in-law, she brazenly stopped a minister, introduced herself, and asked if he had seen Pri Minister Shen.

The minister happened to be an old friend of Ye Yuan and knew she was the maid of his youngest daughter, so he truthfully inford her, "Pri Minister Shen left the palace three-quarter hours earlier than we did and should already be at his residence by now."

Having said this, he too left, as getting involved in Pri Minister Shen’s matters was not advisable.

Ming Yan was taken aback on the spot—this ant her son-in-law had left the palace long ago, so where should he be now? She was montarily at a loss.

Monts later, she quickly ca to her senses. If she couldn’t find her son-in-law, she’d look for her father.

She searched the palace gate for a glimpse of her father, the anxiety evident on her face. She wondered if her mistress could handle those people; Miss Huanhuan was pregnant, and nothing could happen.

"Ming Yan, why are you here?"

She turned around, seeing her father, with his goat-like beard, like a savior. Unable to hold back, tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran up to him, crying, "Father, mistress is in trouble! The Crown Prince wants to take her to the Ministry of Justice, and naturally, she won’t go. She fought with his followers on Lingyang Street. I ca to find my son-in-law, but I couldn’t find him."

Ye Yuan, knowing the animosity between the Crown Prince and his son-in-law, feared for his youngest daughter’s life, and turned pale with fear: "How outrageous! Take there quickly."

Wiping her tears haphazardly, Ming Yan replied, "Alright." Her small figure quickly sped off to lead the way.
