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 with her so early.
At first, she just treated him sincerely in the hope that she would 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 her wrist: "Did you hear that?"
With the shaking of his wrist, a crisp ringtone sounded, making Rong Li chuckle.
"Then Yaoyao, stay here obediently. I will come to pick you up after I take care of everything."
With the end of this sentence, there was heavy guarding and the closing of the door.
Rong Li also sent her a maid 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 maid, no, to be precise, is more like a personal bodyguard.
She half-knelt in front of Chi Yao, lowering her head to apologize.
Chi Yao took a sip of tea and brushed away the tea residue 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.
"May I have your name?"
"nineteen."
"What's the reason?"
"Nineteenth among brothers."
After hearing this, Chi Yao picked up a handkerchief to cover her face and smiled.
"This is something your Lord can do. Since you followed me, then change your name!"
"Why don't you just call me Xiaohong?"
Nineteen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and once again half-knelt in front of her, he said loudly and forcefully: "Thank you, Miss Chi, for giving me the name, 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.
"Then my subordinates will leave first."
As Nineteen retreated, the light outside the door was blocked again, and Chi Yao sighed softly.
It seems that such a day will take some time.
Therefore, Chi Yao spent every day in this huge mansion admiring flowers, drinking tea, and entertaining Nineteen.
Sometimes Rong Li would come, but only late at night, and he would just sit quietly and watch her quietly.
After she woke up, he would leave silently, but once he stopped, his dim expression was difficult to see clearly in the flickering candlelight.
With a low voice, Rong Li stroked her face coquettishly and affectionately and said, "Wait until I handle everything."
Chi Yao didn't know what he was dealing with, but he could guess some.
After the old emperor passed away, Rong Li still had several brothers who were not easy to deal with. All of them were extremely ruthless, and their skills were no less iron-blooded than Rong Li's.
I'm afraid Rong Li put her here to protect her safety and to protect his sense of security.
Chi Yao was also very well-behaved and didn't think about other ideas. Instead, she sent Jiu Jiu to go shopping every day. Even if she couldn't get out, she would have someone go out for her.
So every day when Nineteen reported Chi Yao's itinerary to Rong Li, he would listen to the trivial details about her with a smile on his face.
Seeing the happy look on Rong Li's face, Nineteen could only report everything 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 lightly.
"So you have to understand your identity and protect her with your life."
