Gong Che vomiting blood really frightened everyone. The smile on Gong Cheng's face instantly tightened, and Chang Xi subconsciously shouted.
"Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
But at this time, Gong Che just wiped away his blood little by little.
"No need."
His voice was hoarse and deeply dispirited. It seemed that after hearing what Gong Cheng just said, even his vitality was sucked away by more than half.
Gong Cheng was anxious. His thick eyebrows tightened, and he angrily said, "What do you mean no need? Chang Xi, take the crown prince to the side hall. The imperial physician is here, let him quickly diagnose …"
Before he finished speaking, Gong Che suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"What are you doing?"
Gong Cheng frowned and looked at him strangely. Chang Xi was very perceptive and quickly withdrew with the other palace servants.
"Imperial Father, this son wants to know where Shang Zhen is now."
Gong Cheng saw that he wasn't worried about himself at all, but was still worried about that girl. He couldn't help but gloomily say, "She has already left. It's said that she went back to her sect."
However, Gong Cheng didn't know where GongYimo's sect was, and he didn't know that this little girl he met by chance was his lost "daughter".
Knowing GongYimo's whereabouts, Gong Che was relieved. After the extreme pain, he calmed down. He thought very clearly, Mo 'er had feelings for him, but she misunderstood him. In that case, he should go and get her back!
He raised his head and looked directly at the emperor.
"Imperial Father … Do you really feel indebted to this son for these twenty years?"
Gong Che looked up at him. After vomiting blood, his lips were pale, but his eyes were clear.
Gong Cheng's heart trembled, but Gong Che's appearance at this time was really distressing. Thinking that this son was usually the most worry-free, and today's abnormal behavior had a reason, he couldn't help but soften his voice.
"Ai, don't worry. We will make it up to you. The little girl is right. As the Crown Prince, you can't be so careless with your marriage. We will give you the marriage you deserve."
When Gong Che heard his words, he slowly smiled. "Does that mean that if I'm not the Crown Prince, I can cancel this marriage?"
Gong Sheng stared blankly for a moment, then became somewhat angry, "What are you if not the Crown Prince? Have you lost your mind? "
Although he favored certain children, he had never thought of changing the crown prince!
Gong Che pursed his lips. A trace of determination appeared on his handsome face as he kowtowed again.
"Father, please remove me from the position of Crown Prince! Because I have an unmentionable illness, I cannot be the ruler. "
He had actually revealed the biggest secret of his body!
It took Gong Sheng a while to digest the meaning of his words, but he still couldn't help but ask seriously.
"What do you mean?"
After Gong Che bowed, he slowly stood up. His earlier impatience gradually disappeared, and he became gentle and calm again. He spoke with a calm attitude.
"I have an unmentionable illness. When the illness strikes, it's unbearable and easy to die suddenly! When Imperial Mother was still alive, in order to keep me as the Crown Prince, I did my best to conceal this secret. But now, I don't want to lie and deceive people anymore. Father, with my body, I can't be the Crown Prince. "
Gong Sheng was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Gong Che suddenly revealed his unmentionable illness at this time. Didn't he know that he would really lose the position of Crown Prince?
"Why?"
Gong Sheng frowned. Gong Che could have continued to hide it from everyone. Why did he have to say it himself?
Gong Che smiled slowly, "I just saw it … What's there to fight for with my body? I only hope that Imperial Father will see that I have been well-behaved for many years. Seeing that my Imperial Mother is dead and my family is in decline, perhaps I will keep my promise. "
Gong Sheng was stunned. He still didn't understand what was going on. Why was everyone so strange today?
"What do you want?"
Gong Che asked seriously.
Gong Che coughed a few times, looking indescribably weak, "My body is already an arrow at the end of its flight. I'm afraid I can't be filial by Imperial Father's side. I hope Imperial Father can send me to Yunding Mountain. I heard that Yunding Mountain gathers all the famous doctors in the world. I want to go there to recuperate and stay away from all the troubles."
Gong Sheng saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake and couldn't help but be silent. At this time, the Imperial Physician came. Gong Sheng directly asked the Imperial Physician to diagnose in public. The Imperial Physician didn't know what was going on, but he still reached out to feel the Crown Prince's pulse. The Crown Prince was very cooperative. His expression was still, but there seemed to be light floating in his eyes.
While waiting, Gong Sheng kept his eyes down and pondered. People like him couldn't just listen to what people said. He always had to figure out Gong Che's intentions more thoroughly. But no matter what he thought, this matter was harmful to Gong Che. What was Gong Che planning?
Soon, the Imperial Physician was stunned. He looked strangely at Gong Che and carefully felt his pulse again. His expression was a little panicked. What should he do? He seemed to have discovered an incredible secret!
"How is it?" Gong Sheng asked in a deep voice.
The Imperial Physician's expression was tangled, hemming and hawing.
Gong Sheng was impatient and directly said, "There's no harm in saying it."
The Imperial Physician then said, "Your Majesty, His Highness … seems to be congenitally deficient. He suffers from heart disease and is afraid of anger. It's easy to … die suddenly!"
It was exactly the same as what Gong Che said!
Gong Sheng knew that the Imperial Physician wouldn't lie to him. So what Gong Che said was true?
He couldn't help but feel tangled. Could it be that Gong Che really just felt that he couldn't be the Crown Prince, so he revealed this secret? But why didn't he say it earlier?
He knew about Mount Yunding. It was quite famous among the people. More than ten years ago, he even visited the palace. There didn't seem to be anything suspicious.
So he could only ask Gong Che.
"Do you really want to go to Mount Yunding and stay away from worldly affairs?"
Gong Che nodded firmly, "Yes. Although this son wants to do his best for Dai Yu State, this congenital illness can't be cured, so I can only stay away from disputes. Perhaps … I can live for a few more years."
A trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows, "I've disappointed Imperial Father."
Gong Sheng's heart clenched. He remembered that Gong Che was already twenty-two years old, but he still hadn't recovered from his illness. It was clear that this congenital illness really couldn't be cured. Moreover, he was quite ostracized by his brothers in the imperial court. Perhaps this was why he had the idea of staying away from worldly affairs? He really shouldn't have doubted him like that. Che, this child, really didn't have it easy.
After pondering for a long time, Gong Sheng said, "How can the world's famous doctors compare to the imperial physicians in the palace? Che, you should stay in the palace. "
Gong Che didn't directly object. Instead, he thought about it and said, "Although the palace is good, there are people coming and going, and there are many disputes. This son has completely lost hope in my body. I just want to live like an ordinary person and walk around. I heard that Mount Yunding has beautiful scenery, so I want to take a look."
A trace of sorrow appeared on his pale face, "This son has never asked you for anything. Just this once, this is a small wish. Imperial Father won't agree?"
What else could Gong Sheng say after he said so? In the end, he only said, "If your body recovers, come back. Dai Yu State will always be your home."
Gong Che lowered his eyes and seemed to be very moved.
"Yes, thank you, Imperial Father."
