Seeing Nighthawk's confusion, Situ Xunxiao whispered, "After I fell off the cliff, there happened to be a large pond inside. It was inevitable that the wound was soaked in water."

"Your Highness, even if the wound was soaked in water or the medicine powder was soaked in water, you would not let your wound worsen so quickly. Others may not know that Your Highness understands pharmacology, but how could I not know? Originally worried that Your Highness's things would be missed, Nighthawk asked Phantom to go to the cave. It happened that a small stone was used to kill the five-step snake. Presumably, Your Highness ignored his own wound in order to save the princess and used his internal force to fight it out!" Nighthawk looked at Situ Xunxiao with a worried look on his face.

"So what?" Situ Xunxiao did not deny it. He looked up at Nighthawk who was treating his wound and asked back.

"Nighthawk thinks that the master is confused and perhaps doesn't see something clearly."

"Oh?" Situ Xunxiao raised his eyebrows.

While applying the medicine, Nighthawk said, "If it were normal, Your Highness would not have concealed the real reason why the wound worsened! Although the wound was soaked in water, it had a certain effect, but Your Highness knew better than Nighthawk that the poison could spread so quickly because of the use of internal force. If it was because of something that Your Highness did not want Nighthawk to know, then what should I do? I know, then I don't need to worry about this secret, but, my Lord, what you are hiding now doesn't make sense at all. Maybe others don't know, but I know it very well in my heart. You are worried that I know the purpose of Princess Xiaoting approaching you. If I know it, and my Lord cares too much, I and Qin Xiao will be the only ones in the secret guards who dare to kill first and report later."

"Nighthawk!" Situ Xunxiao's anger suddenly rose. After hearing the words of "kill first and play later", he could not wait to stop Nighthawk.

"Your Highness, please forgive me." Nighthawk tied his bandages and knelt aside.

"Whether the letter was sent on the emperor's own initiative or Zong Zheng Xiaoting was involved is still unknown. I don't want you to do things that I don't want to see based on your own ideas. Do you understand?" Situ Xunxiao showed a warning on his face without disguising it.

Nighthawk frowned as he saw how determined his master was.

"Your Highness, if it is not a last resort, Nighthawk will not dare to disobey your order. However, if Princess Xiaoting will endanger you, then I will have to disobey you even if I have to be executed by you." Nighthawk raised his head, looking fearless. "Now, you can risk your life just because she fell off a cliff. Don't you think she has affected you? What's more, she is a princess with evil intentions. I can't imagine that if she really does something to you in the future, will you still be able to remain calm?"

"Alright." Situ Xunxiao waved his hands. "I saved her for my own reasons. If I had already confirmed that she and the emperor of Luozha were indeed conspiring, I would not have saved him. I am still clear-headed about this."

"But, Prince..."

"Nighthawk, if I told you that I was indeed moved and didn't want to miss this rare warmth that might only come once in a lifetime because of something without evidence, would you still persuade me?" Situ Xunxiao said to Nighthawk frankly.

"Prince!" Nighthawk opened his eyes wide in disbelief. In just a few days, the prince who was so proud and difficult to spy on could actually be so affectionate that he could even speak to him openly!

"She fell off the cliff because she didn't want me to get hurt. If you say this is a self-torture tactic, it's too much. Moreover, judging from the letter from the emperor of Luozha, the real purpose is to get rid of me. If I really get hurt to protect her, there are only two results of being hurt, either death or life." Situ Xunxiao looked at Ye Ying, his lips pursed into a straight line, and after a long time, he slowly asked, "And you have already read the content of the letter. If it were you, what would you choose?"

"This..." Nighthawk was shocked by his master's words. Thinking carefully, what would he choose if it were him? Indeed, the emperor of Luozha State chose to let the princess seduce the prince in order to make the prince fall in love with her. Only in this way could he make the emperor confront the prince for the princess and finally make up his mind to get rid of the prince. The reason for this choice was naturally because he understood how deep the rift between the prince and the emperor was over the years, and he also knew that the emperor had been tolerating the prince because Yunguang State would be in chaos without the prince.

The unclear relationship between the prince and the emperor was not harmonious at heart, which was also known to all the generals. If they directly caused trouble for the prince, the soldiers would rebel. That was why they only dared to cause trouble instead of executing the prince openly. This was also the reason why the emperor could only kill him secretly in order to take away the prince's military power.

But all these are unimportant to the emperor of Luozha, because the military force of Luozha is the strongest, and they have lived in peace for so many years because of the existence of the prince. In other words, once the prince is gone, the emperor of Luozha can rest assured, at least, he will no longer be timid when it comes to attacking territory.

"That is to say, if the prince dies from his serious injuries, then Princess Xiaoting doesn't need to do anything more. And if the prince survives, then with his heart to protect the princess, the princess can take advantage of the victory. So the princess doesn't need to gamble with her life, because she is happy to see the outcome, whether dead or alive!" Nighthawk finally spoke and made a conclusion.

"That's right. So, whether it was a conspiracy or a voluntary one, it's not hard to guess. The only uncertainty is that time will change people. It's hard to say whether her current unwillingness will be forced to do so in the future, or even considering her mother's status."

Seeing that the prince had a clear mind, Nighthawk finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that in the prince's heart, it was because of that rare feeling that he let himself go to save the princess. However, even if he had such feelings, he had not been blinded by love. He was just worrying too much.

The master and servant were talking to each other, but they didn't know that Zong Zheng Xiaoting had already woken up. In the quiet tent, the conversation between the two was still clear and distinct. Listening to the conversation between the two quietly, Zong Zheng Xiaoting secretly thought that something was wrong.
