"It's hard to sleep with the fire outside." Xiao Yunci said calmly, "I have something to tell you too."

Wen Ning suddenly remembered that she wanted to tell Xiao Yunci some of the things that happened during the day, so she swallowed and slowly turned to lie on the other side. When she turned around, she found that Xiao Yunci was also facing her, and her heart suddenly tightened.

His face was illuminated by the firelight, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, his eyes were half-closed, and he looked a bit lazy and casual, completely different from his temperament in the daytime, as if he had slowly walked down from the altar, speaking to her intimately with the face of a god, without any sense of alienation.

"How about this afternoon on the high ground?" Xiao Yunci said in a serious tone, without a hint of teasing.

Wen Ning felt a little relieved. Xiao Yunci was the same. These matters were the most important things to him. It was just that he was lying down and relaxing now, so he seemed lazy and casual. In fact, most of what he was thinking about was still about the victims and the flood in the dike area, right?

"Very good, Lord Xu cooperated with me very well. We have settled all the victims together. The victims are very stable and seem to be very satisfied with the arrangements. However, the doctor who treats the plague does not seem to be good at diagnosis. I am afraid we need to find someone else." Wen Ning blinked slowly and looked up at him seriously. "What do you think, Your Highness?"

"Not bad." Xiao Yunci's eyes contained a faint smile and appreciation. "It's not easy to achieve this on the first day. It's tiring, right?"

"It's not bad. It's just a piece of cake for me. Everyone takes good care of me and they all cooperate with what I say." Wen Ning smiled lightly and looked at him seriously. "If I weren't the Crown Princess, I wouldn't be able to do this."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Xiao Yunci said calmly, not deliberately praising, as if he was just stating a simple fact, "When you were young, did you follow General Wen to help with disaster relief?"

"I didn't go with them. Daddy wouldn't take me, saying it was too dangerous." Wen Ning said softly, "But after Daddy came back, he told me all those stories, about the homeless children and the people who had to trade their children for food because they couldn't get enough food."

"General Wen actually told you this?" Xiao Yunci was a little surprised. "Are you scared?"

Xiao Yunci's voice became increasingly calm and gentle. "Are you scared?" These three words were like a gentle older brother leaning beside her, softly asking her how she felt.

"Yeah." Wen Ning nodded, and a faint sense of security suddenly arose in her heart, as if as long as Xiao Yunci was there, she would not be harmed in any way.

"But as long as my father is with me, I'm not afraid." Wen Ning blinked and looked at Xiao Yunci carefully.

In the darkness, her clear black and white, crystal clear and moist eyes are like crystal black pearls, containing a brilliance that makes people want to protect them.

"I just want to be like my dad... and do more for everyone." Wen Ning said softly.

"Okay." Xiao Yunci said in a gentle voice, "I'll try to take you with me in the future. Just do whatever you want boldly."

Wen Ning felt a warm current rushing from her chest to her brain. She asked in surprise, "Really?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Xiao Yunci smiled faintly and looked down at her, "Don't you believe me?"

"I believe it. I believe it." Wen Ning tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were raised, but her eyes were still full of smiles. "Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are golden."
