Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 188: The Crown Prince Arrives

Three days ago, when the State Preceptor scolded Qinglian, he was also present, and his behavior was indeed inappropriate~

Another important point is that Ah Zhi cares about the Little Princess, and since the State Preceptor bullies the Little Princess, it’s normal for him not to help the State Preceptor. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The Little Traitor is mischievous, forgetting that he is now one of Pei Wanmu’s ten disciples. ～(￣▽￣～)~

The sun had completely set, and the bamboo lanterns along the street lit up one by one, bringing more night strollers out and about.

The small vendors’ businesses were no longer as deserted as at dusk, and their shouts gradually spread~

Some people, the more you don’t want to see them, the more you wish to avoid them, and yet fate always plays tricks.

As the saying goes, enemies’ paths cross narrowly~

Ye Zhi was sitting in a position that had a clear view of the staircase, coupled with her curiosity about Shuyu Pavilion, and with few people going upstairs, she chatted with her friends while glancing over there from time to time.

Liu Qingxi, with pearl hairpins adorning her head, long slender eyebrows, and a cherry-like mouth, wearing a red embroidered long dress, appeared just in time to meet Ye Zhi’s gaze, their eyes locking.

The silent night is like tonight’s Cambridge~

After a silent pause, the other party was shocked.

Since the last time at the eatery when Liu Qingxi got slapped, she had been struggling to find a reason for revenge, and now the opportunity had arrived.

"Ah." Pretending to be surprised, she took the chance to grab the boy next to her’s hand, frowning: "Changnian, I’m scared. The third Miss Ye hits really hard; the slap she gave me for no reason last time hurt for several days."

Her red silhouette hid behind him, tears welling in her eyes, as if she faced a fierce tiger ahead.

Li Changnian, in bright yellow and dark robes, followed her gaze to look at the newcomer, his eyes instantly showing unreserved disgust. It was the chief’s spoiled little daughter, and he still held a grudge for Qingxi’s last beating.

Upon seeing the little beauty with tearful eyes, he was determined to get justice for her.

"Qingxi, don’t be afraid. That little girl from the Chief of Staff’s family has questionable conduct, acting wantonly and arrogantly. Today, I must act on behalf of Lord Minister to teach her a lesson."

Ye Zhi felt an ominous gaze and moved her chair inward.

She leaned closer to the Little Fairy, continuously speaking, softly informing everyone: "Hey, hey, hey, look behind, it’s Liu Qingxi and the Crown Prince. Oh no, last time I hit Liu Qingxi, and the Crown Prince has been wanting to hassle me. At the Imperial College he had no chance to make a move, but now we’ve run into each other here. Xiao Chen, what do we do?"

It’s the last sentence that’s the crucial lifeline.

In "Concubine’s Favor," it is recorded that during the reign of Emperor Jingping, the Court split into two opposing factions: one under Shen Chen, the other the Crown Prince Faction. When Emperor Xiao Wen took power, it signified the downfall of the Crown Prince Faction, scattering like birds and beasts, while the Investigation Factory under Shen Chen’s control carried out cleansing actions — executing some, exiling others, implicating nearly half of the major court ministers. Historians recorded it as: "Year-end reform."

Who could go head-to-head with the Crown Prince? It was none other than Shen Chen.

But before her eyes was a powerless, undeveloped Little Traitor, and Ye Zhi sighed in her heart: Little Traitor, hurry up and become a Big Traitor, alas.

Here they come, here they come.

Liu Qingxi led the Crown Prince Li Changnian toward the direction of Ye Zhi and her group.

The worst part was that Xue Ling was following behind...

Ugh.

Looking around, there were other diners at various tables. Given the public setting, Ye Zhi felt some relief, assuming those coming wouldn’t dare do anything to her here.

Once the three arrived, she pretended she was too focused on her meal to notice: "Qinglian, this rouge goose breast is really delicious, have a couple more pieces."

Acting nonchalant, she deftly picked up a peeled phoenix shrimp with her jade chopsticks, savoring it slowly in her mouth.
