Close Bodyguard (2)

"Better safe than sorry!"

"I know! I'll try my best not to go to the Imperial Palace, but if I do go in, don't follow me. I can handle it on my own. If anything happens to me, just wait for my signal and don't act rashly!" Ye Lang instructed very seriously. He didn't want anything to happen to Cold-Blooded Fifth.

If this failure contradicts Cold-Blooded Fifth's safety, then he would definitely choose the latter and abandon this objective.

To put it bluntly, if Ye Lang had to choose between Cold-Blooded Fifth and Tiger Girl's father, he would choose Cold-Blooded Fifth without a doubt!

However, I believe such a choice will not appear before Ye Lang!

"Going to Li Yue's place is no problem. The Emperor originally intended for both of you to enter the Imperial Palace together." The expert nodded, agreeing with Ye Lang's suggestion.

"..." Ye Lang remained silent. If he went to find Li Yue and this person followed him like this, it might hinder him, and he might even be threatened by Li Yue.

"Then let's go!" Ye Lang said calmly. "You have a car, right?"

Given the current situation, what can Ye Lang do? He can only continue as it is, taking it one step at a time. Perhaps this is actually a good thing.

Perhaps, Zhao Yarou really meant no harm to me...

On the other side, in the Li Family's living room, a family drama was unfolding—something like that.

"Father, Mother, I want to go out!" Li Yue said calmly, but there was an undeniable determination in her calm tone.

"No, you're staying home today and waiting to come with us to the Emperor's birthday banquet! Don't even think about seeing that Fox Tribe brat, he's not right for you!!" Li Tianjun said in a deep voice.

"Whether it's suitable or not is our business. I don't want to argue with you, and please don't interfere with my freedom!" Li Yue continued calmly.

"I've told you so many times, why won't you listen? What's so great about that kid? He's just a pretty boy. Besides being good-looking, he's good for nothing!! You saw what he did when he was attacked. He hid behind you, behind a woman!!" Li Tianjun said again. He didn't know how many times he had said this, but he found that his daughter just wouldn't listen.

"I know very well what kind of person he is. You can't judge things by appearances alone, or you'll regret it later!" Li Yue said.

Upon hearing his daughter speak like that, Li Tianjun immediately said, "Then tell me, what kind of person is he? If you can explain it, I'll let you meet him."

"He is... I don't know how to explain it, but he's definitely not what you imagine." Li Yue wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the words to describe Ye Lang's character, because Ye Lang was just too strange, a complete contradiction.

Li Yue's statement only fueled Li Tianjun's misunderstanding, leading him to believe that Li Yue also knew about Ye Lang's "flaws" and still loved Ye Lang.

"Daughter, just listen to your father. Don't go see him. He's just here for a visit. He'll be gone soon. You should stick to your job as a captain and stop thinking about that boy," Madam Li advised at this moment.

At this moment, not only the three of them were present, but also the Li brothers, Li Yan Li Bo, as well as the old man, Grand Marshal Li. The old man remained silent and did not express any opinion.

The Li Yan brothers were different; they would also try to persuade their sister not to go after Ye Lang, this "pretty boy."

As a result, the scene became chaotic, with everyone offering their own advice to Li Yue.

After a moment of silence, Li Yue erupted, letting out a soft roar as she said, "Stop talking! I want to see him. None of you are going to stop me. I will bear the consequences myself. I will not implicate any of you!"

"Why can't you be more flexible, you brat? Let me tell you, I will not allow you to meet. If you continue to insist on this, I will send people to drive him out of this city!! Even this empire!" Li Tianjun said coldly.

As a top figure in the Soaring Sky Empire, it would be quite simple for Li Tianjun to expel a Young Master from a Lineage; he could easily do it.

"If you do this, I will leave here. Do you think you can make the whole world listen to you?" Li Yue said calmly, her determination unquestionable.

"You... you want to make me angry to death?!" Li Tianjun pointed at Li Yue, speechless, and could only resort to this old line, which is usually said when children do something wrong.

"My daughter didn't mean that. She just thinks the outside world might be better, and it might be more fun for me to go see Ye Lang," Li Yue said casually.

"... Do you want to die! If the Emperor finds out about Ye Lang, he will definitely not let you off the hook." At this moment Li Tianjun just wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood to express his frustration.

Li Yue shook her head and said, "You're wrong. The Emperor isn't that kind of person. With so many people with Ye Lang, who has she ever gone after? Zhen Xiaoyan is so close to Ye Lang and has always been with him, yet nothing has happened to her, and her family hasn't either."

"That's because she's just a nobody!" Li Tianjun said.

"Tianjun, that's not how it works. It's precisely because she's a nobody that the Emperor can easily make a move against her if he wants to. Not only do nobodys have no scruples, but they can also serve as a warning to others." Grand Marshal Li, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "The Emperor isn't moving because she doesn't want to! Don't underestimate her just because she's only seventeen or eighteen years old. She can do what others can't and endure what others can't. Don't treat her like an ordinary person!"

"Yes, Father, I have never treated her as an ordinary person. I never have since the moment she suddenly launched her coup. The power she wields is indeed not something an ordinary person can possess. Even for royalty, it would be difficult to achieve this!" Li Tianjun exclaimed.

When Zhao Yarou launched her coup, many people thought it was luck, that Zhao Yarou was fortunate. But later it was discovered that it was not just luck, but more so the power that Zhao Yarou held, which is what makes it so frightening.

Zhao Yarou was only sixteen years old at the time. In many people's eyes, a sixteen-year-old girl is still an immature child. Who would have thought that this seemingly immature child had been painstakingly cultivating for many years and held a power that no one could resist?

This raises questions about when she started—was she ten? Eight? Or even earlier? Whatever the answer, it's shocking.
