Next door, the Li Residence erupted into chaos. Madame Ye, currently staying in Mobei City, was startled for a moment, wondering what terrible event had occurred. When her servants reported that the Li Residence was being surrounded by the Black Cavalry, she was gripped by a sense of dread.
Having left her daughter, Ye Mingzhao, alone in Mobei City, Madame Ye had naturally inquired about the local situation. She knew exactly who the head of the Li Residence was: the brother-in-law of the Mobei City garrison commander. While such a position might not hold much weight elsewhere, in Mobei City, this man was a law unto himself; no one dared to cross him. And yet, his own estate was now surrounded by the Black Cavalry, with entry and exit strictly forbidden.
Before Madame Ye could gather her thoughts, Ye Mingzhao, who had been peeking over a wall to watch the commotion, came running. "Mother, the Crown Princess is here! She’s knocking at our front gate right now."
