The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

Chapter 1590 - 1572

Little Shunzi took a step back in fright, nervously looking at the newcomer, and became even more nervous upon seeing who it was.

"Lady Ye, why have you come here?"

Little Shunzi quickly stepped forward with a forced smile.

The person wasn’t anyone else, it was Ye Liang. Although she was dressed as a man, Little Shunzi recognized her immediately, as she had dressed like this when she came to see him.

Ye Liang looked at Little Shunzi coldly and asked, "Didn’t I tell you to watch Chu Ge? Why are you here?"

Little Shunzi wiped the nonexistent cold sweat off his forehead. He had only taken his eyes off Chu Ge for a moment and ended up being caught by Ye Liang.

"Lady, it’s like this, the Princess Consort is in trouble. They invited the Beggar Gang Leader Luo Qi to treat her, and then because of..."

Before Little Shunzi could finish, Ye Liang, somewhat impatient, interrupted him, "Enough, I don’t have time to listen to this now. I just want to know, where is Chu Ge?"

"Sir is still at the Prince Manor."

Little Shunzi swallowed nervously, replying in fear.

Ye Liang frowned, looking at the high red walls, pondering something.

Little Shunzi glanced up slightly, curiously watching Ye Liang, and asked, "Why has Lady Ye come to Shuo State?"

Ye Liang snapped back to reality, glanced sideways at Little Shunzi, and instead of answering his question, instructed, "Don’t mention my coming to Shuo State to Chu Ge, understood?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Little Shunzi nodded repeatedly, not daring to ask anything more.

Ye Liang glanced around, concerned that Chu Ge and the others could appear at any moment, and since this wasn’t the place to talk, she said, "At midnight, three miles away at the abandoned temple, I’ll be waiting for you there."

Little Shunzi could only agree, and when he looked up again, Ye Liang was gone.

He let out a sigh of relief, patting his chest, truly scared to death.

Ye Liang had come to Shuo State because she received a signal from her comrades, a special signal for contacting Wufeng Palace.

Moreover, being in Fifth Space-Time, there shouldn’t be any presence from Wufeng Palace unless the Palace Master had sent someone over.

Regardless of the outcome, since she received the signal, she had to investigate.

Following the signal, Ye Liang arrived at the designated location, the abandoned temple three miles away, but the appointed time was now.

She had been there for quite a while without seeing anyone.

Ye Liang didn’t leave but chose to wait there. After about half an hour, she sensed someone approaching, their steps so light that without paying close attention, one wouldn’t hear them.

She jumped onto a tree, her gaze sharp as she watched the direction of the person’s approach. Momentarily, she saw a woman in red walking over with a strange expression.

The woman walked into the temple, took a look around as if she hadn’t found the person she was looking for, then stood at the entrance, glanced around, and after a moment of deliberation, said, "Come out!"

Ye Liang jumped down from the tree, approached her, and coldly asked, "Who are you?"

Ru Xue scrutinized Ye Liang, and after a moment, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her lips, "The Palace Master isn’t partial. Although they placed you in Marquis Ye Mansion, they also put me in the Prince Manor, which makes me feel much more balanced."

Ye Liang frowned, "You’re also from Wufeng Palace."

"Haha, if I weren’t from Wufeng Palace, how could I have sent you a signal?" Ru Xue chuckled softly, her eyes bearing a mocking look at Ye Liang.

Her gaze seemed to hold a slight disdain for Ye Liang.

Ye Liang felt a pang in her heart, "Do you think you’re quite proud of being in the Prince Manor?"

"Isn’t it the case?"

"I’m the eldest daughter of Marquis Ye Mansion, unattached and free, but you’re different; you are the Princess Consort, and at night, you still have to serve a man."

Ye Liang said coldly.

Ru Xue’s expression stiffened, and she snorted, "Stop bantering. You just can’t stand that I’m doing better than you."

Ye Liang looked at her with a bit of amusement, "You should be the one saying to stop bantering. Let’s talk business, why are you really here?"

"I’ve got a mission, as for what mission, you don’t need to ask. That’s the rule of our Wufeng Palace."

Ru Xue put on a serious face and said, "Don’t worry, my mission doesn’t conflict with yours. I came to deliver the Palace Master’s orders!"

Upon hearing that the Palace Master had orders, Ye Liang also became serious, "What are the Palace Master’s orders?"

Ru Xue took out a letter and handed it to Ye Liang, saying, "Like you, I am also soul transferred, so I wrote this letter here. It contains the Palace Master’s orders for you, word for word."

Ye Liang took the letter and glanced at it. When she saw the content, she was stunned, looking up in surprise, "The Palace Master wants me to kill Chu Ge if necessary?"

Ru Xue nodded, "That’s right."

"What’s the situation on our side now? How is the execution of the Palace Master’s plan?"

Ye Liang’s tone was a bit anxious. She had been here for two months and would soon automatically leave this time-space, meaning she had to complete the mission within this period.

However, she wasn’t clear about the situation on the Palace Master’s side. Could it be that it’s no longer under the Palace Master’s control? Is that why the order to kill Chu Ge if necessary has been given!

"The Palace Master’s plan is proceeding as scheduled, you don’t need to worry about that, just focus on your task."

Ru Xue said.

Ye Liang felt a little relieved, "What situation constitutes a necessary moment?"

She asked.

Ru Xue smiled slightly, "I’ve already asked the Palace Master for you about that. The Palace Master says the necessary moment could be anytime!"

"..." Ye Liang frowned at Ru Xue, anytime? Is this a deliberate joke?

Ru Xue seemed to see what she was thinking and chuckled softly, "Don’t overthink it; I’m not joking with you, that’s the Palace Master’s intention."

"I don’t understand."

"What’s there not to understand? Chu Ge absolutely cannot leave Fifth Space-Time alive; that’s the Palace Master’s intention. As for when to act, that depends on you."

"But the initial task the Palace Master gave me wasn’t to kill Chu Ge!"

Doubt arose in Ye Liang’s heart.

Ru Xue looked at her coldly, "So you’re questioning the Palace Master’s order?"

"I’m not!"

"Whether you are or not, I’m just telling you this, if you fail to complete the task, you’ll die along with Chu Ge."

Ru Xue said coldly, "This is my second task in this time-space, to monitor your mission completion."

"Second task? You have other tasks?"

Ye Liang said.

"It seems you’ve been away from Wufeng Palace for too long and have forgotten the rules of Wufeng Palace."

Ru Xue gave him a cold sideways glance, the corners of her lips curling into a contemptuous smile, "But that’s okay, it doesn’t matter if you know what my task is..."
