"Today, Wen Aiqing handed me a fold and said he wanted to leave his armor and return to the field, but I didn't allow it," Nie Hong touched Wen Xiao's long hair and quietly felt the reassuring aroma on the girl. "Wen Aiqing is a good official."

Wen Xiao looked up at Nie Hong and whispered, "my father has long meant to stay away from the court. Now my brother can be alone. My father is too old to follow his heart. Naturally, he will think about a few days of leisure."

"Wen Aiqing fought all his life on the battlefield. Now he is in his prime. How can he be too old to follow his heart?" Nie Hong said half true and half false. "The Wen family is the head of the generals. Without Wen Aiqing, the generals in the court may be dissatisfied."

"If the emperor says so, he will break the Wen family," Wen Xiao whispered. "No matter how fierce the father's war is, it's just to protect his Majesty's rivers and mountains. My concubines dare not say whether other generals will be dissatisfied. I can only say that my father is really dedicated to his country and has never disappointed his majesty."

"Not before, not in the future."

The girl's bright eyes stared at Nie Hong. It seemed that she wanted him to see the sincerity in her eyes.

"I know Wen Aiqing is dedicated to his country," Nie Hong patted Wen Xiao on the back. "Xiao Xiao can rest assured that as long as your father and brother don't pose a threat to chaotang, I will keep my family safe all my life."

Unconsciously, there was a trace of solemnity in his tone.

The Wen family is still a fishbone stuck in his throat, but he doesn't want to take it out by force.

Anything stuck in the throat is either taken out or swallowed.

Forcibly taking it out will only leave a deep wound on the throat. If it can't be done well, it will hurt muscles and bones and can't heal for a long time.

Maybe he can try to swallow it slowly and give it time to digest.

Nie Hong sighed softly in his heart, and then slowly hugged the girl in his arms.

He is willing to make a promise in her face.

Wen Xiao naturally heard the solemn meaning in his tone.

The girl's heart is not shocked.

In front of him, he is a man who stands out from more than a dozen princes. He is proud, arrogant, egotistic, and even arrogant. What he believes is difficult to change unless he can think about it himself.

Wen Xiao never thought that he would relax so easily and say something similar to a promise.

"Your Majesty..." Wen Xiao nestled in his arms, and a stuffy voice came out, "thank you for believing in the Wen family..."

"I just want to thank Wen Aiqing for bringing me your baby," Nie Hong said with a smile. "If you want to thank me, you just have to accompany me all the time."

Wen Xiao nodded hard and held his arm tighter.

Nie Hong felt the temperature in front of him, and the feeling in his heart was a little complicated.

It is false to say that there is no selfishness.

For so many years, only Wen Xiao can let him down his guard. This subtle feeling makes him nostalgic, so that even the Wen family, who has been unhappy with it, has become a little cute.

That's it. It's right to repay the girl's rare sense of relaxation.

At the same time, Nie Hong has a further plan

I always have to have an heir. I can't call the royal family absolutely. Look at this posture, I can't touch anyone except Wen Xiao. If the next emperor is really Wen Xiao's child, the Wen family can't decline.

The man's thoughts gradually precipitated. He closed his eyes, took the girl in his arms and slowly fell asleep.
