When she met Huo Lichi on the way, Gardenia was still a little dazed.

"How did you know I was here?"

This house is relatively remote, I don't know how many turns it has taken from the place where the palace banquet is held, ordinary people almost don't come here, and shouldn't I go there to see the excitement now?

Huo Lichi's gaze subconsciously wandered around her, and after confirming that the blood stains were not on the little girl's body, he slightly stretched his brows, and gestured sideways to the guards beside him.

"Happens to be patrolling the neighborhood."

Gardenia nodded, looked at Shen Nanqing, who was struggling to shrink into her arms, and spoke without thinking too much.

"It just so happens that you're here, then help me help her, she's still injured, she has to go back to bandage as soon as possible."

Although she could afford to hold it, in the end, her movements were a little awkward, and it blocked her vision, so she walked a little slowly.

Looking at the person who was supported by her, Huo Lichi frowned, but he didn't step forward, only motioned to the guards who followed to pick him up.

The little girl didn't have any idea about this, but just handed it over obediently, and then pinched her little wrist.

Before she could say anything, her hand was grabbed, and then Huo Lichi took out a handkerchief from her arms without saying a word to wipe her hands, which was the blood stained from Shen Nanqing's hands just now.

Speaking of which, this handkerchief is still hers, and it has been placed in Huo Lichi's place after using it before, anyway, when the two were together, the little girl herself did not do it herself.

Gardena blinked her eyes and spoke as she wiped her hands as he spoke.

"Are you still going to keep patrolling? Why don't I send someone back and stay with you? ”

The guards standing over there subconsciously looked at their generals, not knowing how to answer, they didn't have a patrol mission tonight, wouldn't it be a goof to promise now.

Huo Lichi's face did not change and nodded.

"I'll be with you, and the task is not in a hurry."

Seeing him say this, Gardenia didn't ask anything more, and the group of four walked back, not noticing that Huo Lichi didn't let go, so he led him all the way back.

Bringing people back to their own courtyard, the maid who had already been relieved by Lily of the Valley and was waiting here immediately greeted her.

"Miss! Little county lord, what's wrong with Miss? Why is it still bleeding, I'm going to inform the Imperial Doctor now......"

Gardena, who was grabbed by her wrist in a hurry, was stunned and explained.

"Nanqing is fine, I'll just sleep after taking the medicine, you help her bandage first, I'll ask Lily of the Valley to call the imperial doctor, rest assured, this matter won't be known to others."

The maid nodded gratefully, and hurriedly followed the guard into the room.

Originally, Gardenia planned to stay and take care of Shen Nanqing, but now it seems that there is nothing to do with her, so she blinked her eyes and was a little nervous.

"That...... Why don't we go to Beiyuan? Are you patrolling over there? ”

Huo Lichi naturally shook his head, and walked over there with the little girl who was full of interest.

When the two arrived, the courtyard was already crowded.

After all, one of the protagonists is His Royal Highness the Prince, and even His Majesty and the Queen rushed over after receiving the news, so you can imagine how powerful this lineup is.

Except for the important ministers of the court who avoided suspicion and the busy palace people, it is estimated that everyone in the palace is here.

Gardenia wanted to rush in as soon as she saw this scene, but in the end, of course, she was pressed by Huo Lichi.

He poked his head out from behind him without giving up, and a pair of round eyes looked around curiously.

This time, Huo Lichi didn't stop him, but only protected people by his side, so as not to be squeezed by the crowd.

The county lord of Anping has been watching the excitement in the inner circle, and he has been paying attention to the surroundings from time to time, and there will be two more outstanding figures who noticed it instantly, and whispered something to his maid.
