As early as when she was in the General's Mansion, she understood that Rong Li would return to Ningguo one day.

It's just that she didn't expect to take him with her so early.

At first, she was just sincere to him with the intention that she could let go of the people in the General's Mansion when he could really do something in the future.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary behavior brought a touch of hope and future direction to his life.

Chi Yao looked at him helplessly and shook his wrist: "Did you hear that?" ”

With the shaking of his wrist, the crisp bell rang, making Rong Li chuckle.

"Then Yaoyao stay here obediently, and I'll pick you up when I take care of everything."

With the end of this sentence was accompanied by heavy guards, and the closing of the gates.

Rong Li also sent her a maid to serve her food and daily life, and then she realized that it was the palace maid who pulled her away that day.

This maid, no, is more like a personal female guard, to be precise.

She half-knelt in front of Chi Yao, bowing her head and pleading.

Chi Yao took a sip of tea leaves and brushed off the tea residue in the cup: "What is the crime?" ”

The female guard did not say anything, but quietly waited for Chi Yao's punishment, because her lord had already assigned her to Chi Yao, and Chi Yao was now her lord.

"You're just doing what you're told, get up!"

Chi Yao put down the teacup in her hand and helped her up.

"What's your name?"

"Nineteen."

"Is there any reason?"

"Nineteenth in the line of brothers."

When Chi Yao heard this, she picked up a handkerchief to cover her face and smiled.

"This is what your Lord can do. Since you're with me, change your name! ”

"Why don't you call it Xiaohong?"

The corners of Nineteen's mouth twitched, and he half-knelt in front of her again, and said in a sonorous voice: "Thank you Miss Chi for the words, but the name Nineteen has been with her subordinates for a long time, so..."

"Okay, don't embarrass you, just call it if you like."

Chi Yao held her cheeks and looked at her with a smile.

"Then the subordinate will retreat first."

As Nineteen retreated, the light outside the door was blocked again, and Chi Yao sighed lightly.

It seems that such days will be some time later.

So, Chi Yao enjoyed the flowers, drank tea, and teased Nineteen in this huge mansion every day.

Sometimes Rong Li would come, but in the middle of the night, he would just sit quietly on the side, watching her quietly.

When she awoke, he would leave silently, except for one time when he stopped, and the dancing candlelight made it difficult to see his dim expression.

With a low voice, Rong Li stroked her face sickly and affectionately and said, "You wait for me to take care of everything." ”

Chi Yao didn't know what he was dealing with, but he could guess some.

The old emperor died, and Rong Li still had a few brothers who were not easy to deal with, all of whom were extremely ruthless, and their wrists were no less iron-blooded than Rong Li.

I'm afraid that Rong Li put her here, also to protect her safety, and also to protect his sense of security.

Chi Yao was also very well-behaved, she didn't think of other ideas, but sent Nineteen to the street every day to buy things, even if she couldn't get out, she asked people to go out for her.

So every day when he reported Chi Yao's itinerary to Rong Li, he would listen to her trivial things with a smile on his face.

Seeing Rong Li's happy face, Nineteen could only report in detail.

"Nineteen, she's the one I want to protect the most."

Rong Li looked down at the thing in front of him and said lightly.

"So you have to understand who you are and use your life to protect her."
