I will only protect you for the rest of my life.17

Since the old general stepped down, he rarely went in and out of the imperial court again, and only guarded a huge general's mansion alone.

Gardenia also occasionally visited after coming to the capital, so when he saw the carriage of the little county lord, he was greeted by a person with great discernment.

"Lord Ningle, you're here."

The little girl jumped out of the carriage, nodded her head, and beckoned him to carry what she had brought.

Lily of the valley stood aside and watched, and when she saw that a few people had cleaned up neatly, she stepped forward to say hello to her county lord, and then the group walked inside.

Along the way, from time to time, people stopped to salute, and looking at this skillful gesture, I knew that the little girl was coming.

Gardena didn't go to find someone for the first time, but went to the lobby as usual.

The old general, who had already received the briefing, sat there, and did not raise his head after hearing the footsteps, and his tone was familiar.

"Why do you have time to run to me today?"

Gardenia consciously sat down beside him, took a sip of the tea brought by his subordinates, and blinked when she heard the words.

"I've come to see you."

As he spoke, he raised his chin back to prove his credibility.

"I've collected a lot of stuff too!"

The old general gave her an undeniable look and closed the book of war.

"Tell me, what do you need help with this old man?"

The little girl was a little furious when she heard this, and she affirmed it righteously.

"I didn't get into trouble!"

This really surprised the old general, with the temperament of a little girl, if she didn't need something specific, how could she make a big fanfare.

In order to reassure His Majesty, he resigned and stayed in the capital alone, a few years ago I heard that King An was going to send his only daughter, and he guessed the other party's plan in his heart, so he couldn't help but take care of it in private.

came and went, and the two faintly had the meaning of forgetting the New Year's friendship, and he really treated the little girl as his own granddaughter.

Of course, it's good to be favored, but the little girl lives alone in the capital, and she is only at this age, and he also turns a blind eye to the care of His Majesty the Lord of Ningle, but they all hold military power, no matter what, the other party will not allow the relationship between the two governments to be too close.

Thinking of this, he muttered.

"Have you received any news from King An?"

Gardena was dazed for a moment, shook her head, realized something after a while, and pouted.

"I know the current situation, I didn't contact my father without permission, and I can solve it myself."

The old general sighed, but still admonished.

"Lichiyin was recalled to the capital, and now I am not the only old man in the General's Mansion, there are people staring at me from all directions, you still don't come here, and you don't get involved in the affairs of those princes, don't think that I don't know that you just found trouble with the three princes, and you are the most daring in this palace."

Gardena muttered, justifiably angry.

"He bumped into it on his own, and it wouldn't be right if I didn't do anything."

He touched his chin again and added.

"In a few days, I will go to the summer resort with His Majesty, and General Xiao Huo should also go, be careful yourself."

Listening to her words, the old general also knew that the little girl was planning to get involved, so he only sighed.

"If you encounter something on the way, remember to send a message back......"

Halfway through his words, he changed his words again.

"Forget it, my old bones can't stand your toss, you still go to Lichi if you have something, I don't worry so much about the two of you together, speaking of which, you haven't seen each other for many years, did you meet at the palace banquet a few days ago?"

The little girl nodded and answered honestly.

"See, is he in the house today?"
