Chapter 430
"Today Wen Aiqing handed me a note, saying that she wanted to take off her armor and return to the field, but I didn't agree." Nie Hong stroked Wen Xiao's long hair, quietly feeling the reassuring fragrance of the girl, "Wen Aiqing is a good official."

Wen Xiao raised his head, glanced at Nie Hong, and said softly, "My father has long wanted to stay away from the court. Now that my brother is able to take charge of his own affairs, my father is old and unable to do what he does, so he naturally wants to have a few days of leisure."

"Wen Aiqing has been fighting on the battlefield all his life. Now he is in the prime of life. How come he is too old to do what he wants?" Nie Hong said half-truthfully, "The Wen family is the head of the military generals. If Wen Aiqing is gone, the military commanders above the court will no longer be able to do what they want." I’m afraid I’m dissatisfied.”

"Your Majesty will ruin the Wen family by saying that," Wen Xiao said softly, "No matter how powerful my father was in the war, it was only to defend His Majesty's country. I dare not say whether the other generals are dissatisfied, but I can only say that my father did." It is for the country wholeheartedly, and has never disappointed His Majesty."

"Never before, and never will."

The girl stared at Nie Hong with her bright eyes, as if she was eager to let him see the sincerity in her eyes.

"I know that Wen Aiqing is dedicated to the country." Nie Hong patted Wen Xiao's back reassuringly, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, as long as your father and brother don't pose a threat to the court, I will keep the family safe forever."

Before he knew it, there was a hint of solemnity in his tone.

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

Things stuck in the throat are either taken out or swallowed.

Forcibly taking it out will only leave a deep wound on the throat. If it is not done properly, it will also damage the muscles and bones, and it will not heal for a long time.

Perhaps, he could try to swallow it slowly, and then give it time to digest it.

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

He is willing to make a promise for her sake.

Wen Xiao naturally heard the solemn meaning in his tone.

The girl's heart can't be said to be shocked.

The man in front of him stood out from a dozen princes. He was proud, arrogant, self-centered, and even a little arrogant. It was difficult to change what he believed in unless he thought about it.

Wen Xiao never thought that he would let go so easily and say something like a promise.

"Your Majesty..." Wen Xiao nestled into his arms, and a muffled voice came out, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting the Wen family..."

"I want to thank Wen Aiqing for sending me this treasure of yours," Nie Hong said with a light smile, "If you want to thank me, you just have to stay with me all the time."

Wen Xiao nodded vigorously, and tightened her arms holding him even tighter.

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

It is a lie to say that there is no selfishness.

For so many years, only Wen Xiao could make him let go of his guard. This subtle feeling made him a little nostalgic, so that even the Wen family, who had always been disliked, became a little cute.

That's it, it's right to repay the rare sense of relaxation that this girl brought to me.

At the same time, Nie Hong has further plans...

I always want to have an heir, no matter what, I can't call the royal family extinct. Judging from this posture, I can't touch anyone else except Wen Xiao. If the next emperor is really Wen Xiao's child, then the Wen family can't Decline down.

The man's thoughts gradually settled, he closed his eyes, embraced the girl in his arms, and slowly fell asleep.
