I will only protect you for the rest of my life 46

Zhi Nai was still a little confused when she met Huo Lichi on the way.

"How did you know I was here?"

This house is relatively remote. It’s a few turns away from where the palace banquet was held. Ordinary people would hardly come here, and shouldn’t we go there now to watch the excitement?

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

"Just happened to be patrolling nearby."

Gardenia nodded, looking at Shen Nanqing who was shrinking in her arms, she spoke without thinking too much.

"You happen to be here, so help me support her. She is still injured and needs to be bandaged as soon as possible."

Although she could hold it, her movements were a bit awkward and blocked her sight, so she walked a little slowly.

Looking at the person she was supporting, Huo Lichi frowned, but did not step forward. He only motioned to the guards following him to pick him up.

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

Before she could say anything, her hand was grabbed by someone. Then without a word, Huo Lichi took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped her hands. It was the blood stained from Shen Nanqing's hand just now.

Speaking of which, this veil still belongs to her. She has kept it with Huo Lichi since she used it before. Anyway, the little girl never touched it when the two of them were together.

Gardenia blinked her eyes and spoke while his hands were being wiped by him.

"Do you want to continue patrolling? How about I send you back and accompany you later?"

The guard standing over there looked at his general subconsciously and didn't know how to answer. They had no patrol mission tonight. Wouldn't it be cheating to agree now?

Huo Lichi nodded without changing his expression.

"I'll accompany you. The mission is not urgent."

Seeing what he said, Zhi Nai didn't ask any more questions, and the four of them walked back. They didn't notice that Huo Lichi didn't let go, and just held Huo Lichi's hand all the way back.

Taking the person back to his yard, the maid who had been rescued by Suzuran and was waiting here immediately came to greet him.

"Miss! Little Princess, what's wrong, Miss? Why are you still bleeding? I'm going to inform the doctor now..."

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

"Nan Qing is fine. She will be fine after taking the medicine and taking a nap. You bandage her first. I will ask Ling Lan to call the imperial doctor. Don't worry, no one else will know about this matter."

The maid nodded gratefully and quickly followed the guard into the room.

Originally, Zhi Nai planned to stay and take care of Shen Nanqing, but now it seemed that she had nothing to do with her, so she blinked her eyes, getting ready to make a move.

"Well... how about we go to Beiyuan? Are you patrolling there?"

Huo Lichi naturally shook his head and headed over there with the excited little girl.

When the two arrived, the courtyard was already crowded with people.

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

Except for the important officials and busy palace people who were avoiding suspicion, everyone in the palace was probably here.

As soon as Zhi Nai saw this scene, she wanted to rush in, but of course Huo Lichi held her back in the end.

Reluctantly, he poked his head out from behind him, his round eyes curiously observing the surroundings.

This time Huo Lichi didn't stop him, he just kept the person by his side to avoid being squeezed by the crowd.

Princess Anping had been watching the excitement in the inner circle, paying attention to her surroundings from time to time. She immediately noticed the appearance of two outstanding figures and whispered something to her maid.
