If a prince marries a princess, he will be ridiculed by the world at most. But the crown prince can't because he is the future monarch. He represents the dignity of the country and cannot be stained!
Why?
Gong Che closes his eyes and finally laughs mockingly.
"The crown prince is really a heavy burden. When I was young, I was worried about the gains and losses of this position. Everyone around me was cautious and conscientious. But if I don't become the crown prince, you can also turn a blind eye to me and let me pursue the woman I want. I'd rather not be the crown prince!"
Emperor Cheng's face darkens.
"Father!"
Gong Che suddenly shouts! He stares at him with burning eyes!
"You all think that the crown prince position is a glory and gave me this heavy burden when I was born. But have you ever asked me if I want it?"
Emperor Cheng is shocked by his shout! For a long time, he can't speak … Is being the crown prince … not good?
He looks at the child in front of him, the child he has placed all his hopes on. He has been so obedient since he was young, so outstanding, humble, polite, and not arrogant. When the Empress made a mistake, he was so strict with the crown prince and even said that the crown prince position can be occupied by anyone. In his heart, it was actually a trial for him.
Later, he did well and gave him a perfect answer. The late Emperor said that the fourth generation must be a benevolent and conservative ruler. Gong Che is very good. He is gentle and benevolent, and is supported by the people.
But where did it go wrong? Why did it cause such a thing?
There is only silence between the two. After a long time, Gong Che seems to feel that he shouldn't reveal his emotions like this. Finally, he restrains his expression, gets up, and says condescendingly.
"Father, Gong Dai is coming back. I think, as a father, you should at least treat everyone equally, right?"
He reveals a gentle and cruel smile, "Since I can't get it, then Gong Dai shouldn't get it, right?"
He has said so. If the Emperor doesn't want to see his brothers kill each other for a woman, then give him a bit of fairness and stop Gong Dai from getting close to Mo 'er!
As for the rest, he would do it himself!
After Gong Che finished speaking, he left. When Chang Xi saw the Crown Prince leave, he hurriedly walked in. He saw the Emperor staring at his hand in a daze. His face was filled with worry.
"Chang Xi."
"This servant is here." He had always been here. He had always been the Emperor's most loyal dog.
"Tell me … Am I wrong?" Emperor Gong Cheng's eyes were in a trance, as if he had seen the distant past.
"Back then, Imperial Concubine Xue would rather die than abort the child. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted … Later on, I shouldn't have brought her out of the cold palace. Last time, I should have let her drink that bowl of soup!"
Chang Xi listened quietly and did not say anything.
Gong Cheng continued, "Could this be the punishment for killing too many people when I was young? It happened to my son? "
Chang Xi finally spoke.
"Your Majesty is right, but I also have something to say."
"Say it." Emperor Gong Cheng glanced at him, "Only your words can make me believe them a little."
Chang Xi said, "The Princess is too outstanding. Her excellence has allowed Dai Yu State to prosper in recent years. She has contributed greatly to this prosperous era. At the same time, because she is too outstanding, men in the world can't help but be attracted to her."
Isn't that right? Anyone who thinks they have the strength to fight for her is unwilling to let her go.
Chang Xi sighed, "But we can't only accept the benefits of her excellence and hate the disadvantages of her excellence. Now, we are about to realize the four countries' commerce, the transnational banks, the North and South Relay Stations, the East and West national roads …
Compared to these, her sin of disturbing people's hearts is not worth mentioning. It's only because Your Majesty is involved that you feel uncomfortable. If outsiders know that you killed the Princess in order to protect the Crown Prince, I'm afraid it will bring about unpredictable consequences. "
Yes, he had a premonition that the Emperor wanted to kill again, but he didn't want to see such a situation. He only hoped that the Emperor would listen to his words.
The Emperor was silent for a long time. After a while, he said, "You may leave."
Chang Xi obeyed and left. He was worried about the Princess, who was about to return.
He hoped that these children would be fine. They were all good children and shouldn't end up in such a painful state.

Si Wuyan sent GongYimo to the city gate. Meanwhile, Gong Dai and Shang Mingxi had a few last words of business.
GongYimo said, "I promised Guan Zaijin that I wouldn't kill the Empress Dowager. I also promised that they would be together. You have to keep your promise …"
Si Wuyan was dissatisfied, "Why do I have to do what you promised?"
GongYimo only smiled, "Because you are the Emperor of Yuqi."
Look, her skin was thicker than the city walls!
Si Wuyan was speechless, but he still said, "I've already handed that crazy woman over to Gong Dai. She has been poisoned and is not in her right mind. Her motives are unknown. You have to be careful."
GongYimo nodded, "Don't worry, I'm lucky. I won't die!"
At this moment, Gong Dai seemed to sense something and stopped talking with Shang Mingxi. He turned around, and GongYimo returned a smile.
Gong Dai also couldn't help but smile. However, when his gaze fell on Si Wuyan, it turned cold. How long was this person going to talk to the Royal Sister?
Shang Mingxi smiled good-naturedly, "Your Highness, please calm down. His Majesty doesn't have any bad intentions. He just … wants to talk to the Princess one last time. After all, after parting today, he doesn't know if he'll have the chance to see her again."
Shang Mingxi sighed softly. Behind him was the city gates of Yuhua City, and in front of him was a wide road. After Gong Dai and the others left, it was indeed hard to say if they would see each other again. Thus, since ancient times, parting was the most difficult thing to bear.
As Si Wuyan spoke, his voice suddenly lowered. He looked at GongYimo. GongYimo's bright and beautiful face was smiling at him, as if she didn't feel the pain of parting at all. That heartless look was really hateful!
"Don't you feel sad?"
Si Wuyan said exasperatedly. He clearly wanted to mock her, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded melancholy.
GongYimo was stunned. She buried her head in thought, "Could it be that after you saw me four years ago, when you returned to Yuqi, you still thought that we would meet again one day?"
Si Wuyan was stunned. At that time, he had listened to GongYimo's instructions and returned to Yuqi to prepare for a rebellion. He didn't even know if he was alive or dead, so why would he think that they would meet again one day?
"Isn't that right?"
GongYimo patted Si Wuyan's shoulder as she spoke in an old-fashioned manner.
"This world is so fickle and unpredictable. You think that some people will be able to accompany you for a long time, but with a 'kacha', they might die and leave you.
You think that some people will never meet again in this lifetime, but maybe one day on a certain street, you'll meet them again!
Life is full of surprises. If it's too sad to part, it's like parting forever. Wouldn't it be very awkward when you meet again? "
