Chapter 25
As early as when she was in the General's Mansion, she knew that Rong Li would return to Ning Country one day.

It's just that she didn't expect to bring him so early.

In the beginning, she just treated him sincerely because she could spare the people in the general's mansion when he could really do something in the future.

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

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

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

"Then Yaoyao stays here obediently, and I will come pick you up after I finish everything."

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

Rong Li also sent her a servant girl to take care of her food and daily life, only then did she realize that it was the maid who dragged her away that day.

This servant girl, no, to be precise, she is more like a personal female guard.

She half-kneeled in front of Chi Yao, lowered her head and pleaded guilty.

Chi Yao took a sip of the tea leaves and brushed off the tea dregs in the cup: "What's the crime?"

The female guard did not make a sound, but quietly waited for Chi Yao's punishment, because her master had assigned her to Chi Yao, and Chi Yao was now her master.

"You are just following orders, get up!"

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

"What's your name?"

"nineteen."

"Is there any reason?"

"No. 19 in the ranking of brothers."

Chi Yao picked up a handkerchief to cover her face and smiled when she heard it.

"This is something your master can do. Since you have followed me, then change your name!"

"Why don't you just call me Xiaohong?"

Nineteen couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching, and once again half-kneeled in front of her, he said sonorously, "Thank you Miss Chi for giving me the word, but the name Nineteen has been with my subordinates for a long time, so..."

"Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore, just call it that if you like."

Chi Yao held her chin and looked at her with a smile on her face.

"Then the subordinate will retreat first."

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

It seems that such a day will pass for a while.

So, Chi Yao spent every day in this huge mansion admiring flowers, drinking tea, and teasing Shijiu.

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

After she woke up, he would leave silently, but once he stopped, it was difficult to see his dim expression clearly by the dancing candlelight.

With a low voice, Rong Li touched her face delicately but affectionately and said, "Wait for me to take care of everything."

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

After the death of the old emperor, Rong Li still had a few brothers who were not easy to deal with, all of them were extremely vicious, and their wrists were no less iron-blooded than Rong Li.

Perhaps Rong Li put her here to protect her safety, and also to protect his sense of security.

Chi Yao is also very well-behaved, she didn't think about other ideas, but sent Shijiu to go shopping on the street every day, even if she couldn't go out, she would let someone go out for her.

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

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

"Nineteen, she is the person I want to protect the most."

Rong Li looked down at the things in front of him, and said calmly.

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