I will only protect you for the rest of my life17

Since the old general resigned, he rarely went in and out of the court and only guarded the huge general's mansion alone.

After Gardenia came to the capital, she would visit occasionally, so when she saw the carriage of the little princess, her servants were very discerning and greeted her.

"Princess Ningle, you are here."

The little girl jumped off the carriage, nodded when she heard this, and turned to greet him to move the things he had brought.

Linglan stood aside and watched. Seeing several people tidying up their hands and feet, she stepped forward and spoke to her princess, and then the group of people walked inside.

Along the way, servants stopped to salute from time to time. Looking at this skillful gesture, you knew that the little girl was here.

Gardena didn't look for anyone immediately, but went to the lobby as usual.

The old general who had received the notification a long time ago was sitting there. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the footsteps, and his tone was familiar.

"Why do you girl have time to come to my place today?"

Gardenia sat down beside him consciously, took a sip of the tea brought by her servant, and blinked after hearing this.

"Coming to see you."

As he spoke, in order to prove his credibility, he raised his chin backward.

"I also specially collected a lot of stuff!"

The old general gave her a non-committal look and closed the military book.

"Tell me, what else do you need help from me, an old man?"

The little girl was a little angry when she heard this, and she made a righteous statement.

"I didn't cause any trouble!"

This really surprised the old general. With the little girl's temperament, if she didn't need something specific, why would she come with such a big fanfare?

In order to reassure His Majesty, he resigned and stayed alone in the capital. A few years ago, he heard that King An was going to send his only daughter here, and he guessed his plans, so he couldn't help but take care of her in private.

After going back and forth, the two of them had a vague feeling of being friends forever, and he sincerely 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 is only at this age. He turns a blind eye to Princess Ningle's care for His Majesty, but he still holds military power. No matter what, the other party Neither will allow the relationship between the two governments to be too close.

Thinking of this, he pondered.

"Have you received any news from Prince An?"

Gardenia was confused for a moment and shook her head. After a while, she realized something and curled her lips.

"I know the current situation and have not contacted my father without permission. Besides, I can solve it myself."

The old general sighed and warned.

"Li Chi was recalled to the capital. Now I am not the only old man in the general's palace. There are people watching from all directions. You should come here less and get less involved in the affairs of those princes. Don't think that I don't know that you just found San The prince's trouble is that you are the boldest in this palace."

Gardenia was vague and confident.

"He bumped into it himself. It would be wrong if I didn't do something."

He touched his chin again and added.

"I will go to the summer resort with His Majesty in a few days. General Xiao Huo should also go. Please be careful."

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

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

Halfway through his words, he changed his tune again.

"Forget it, my old bones can't stand your troubles. If something happens, you should go find Li Chi. I'm not that worried about the two of you together. Speaking of which, you haven't seen each other for several years. We were at the palace banquet a few days ago. Did you meet him?"

The little girl nodded and answered honestly.

"I saw him. Is he in the house today?"
