Chang Xi thought about it and went in to report. Emperor Cheng quickly received her. He liked GongYimo from the bottom of his heart, but unfortunately, after a year, his body deteriorated to this extent. It was really unexpected.
When GongYimo saw Emperor Cheng, she found that he had lost a lot of weight. It was a far cry from his appearance a year ago. He looked as if he was about to die, indescribably dispirited.
"… Why are you here?"
His voice was hoarse, as if he would stop breathing in the next second.
GongYimo was kept as a mistress by Gong Che. Gong Che didn't hide it from him. He even told him about GongYimo's true identity, so Gong Che had a special kind of pity for GongYimo. After all … she was Xuelian's daughter.
GongYimo initially thought that Emperor Cheng was fine, but it seemed that he had deceived everyone! His appearance wasn't a simple poisoning, but that he wouldn't live long!
Her heart trembled, but she still said, "Your Majesty, I came to ask for a favor … Now that everyone wants to make a move against the Crown Prince, I want to ask Your Majesty to protect him and let him enter Zhao Yang Hall!"
Emperor Cheng's face was pale, and he faintly said, "Many people said … that it was Gong Che who poisoned me. Now, you have seen my true appearance … The imperial physician said that I don't have long to live. Do you think that at this time, I will be so kind to protect someone … who is suspected of harming me?"
GongYimo knew that the Emperor's words were human nature. If it was an ordinary illness, then it would be fine. But now, the person behind the scenes clearly wanted to kill the Emperor. At this time, the Emperor wouldn't have the slightest mercy.
But she still said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wouldn't do such a thing."
Emperor Cheng shook his head, closed his eyes and sighed.
"You may know a person for a long time without understanding his heart. I don't know … who else can I trust."
GongYimo thought for a while and reluctantly said, "But you promised me three things. You didn't fulfill the last one. I hope that I can use the third request in exchange for the Crown Prince to leave the prison."
Emperor Gong sighed and actually laughed, "You are also an infatuated girl. Fine, if you really want to be like this, Zhen will lock him in Zhaoyang Hall."
However, if the Emperor had always been suspicious of Gong Che, even if he was in Zhaoyang Hall, it would still be very dangerous …
Now that the Emperor was about to die, the person behind the scenes only needed to kill Gong Che to achieve his goal. It would be best if neither of these two people died.
GongYimo suddenly looked up. "If I can help you find the antidote, will you believe the Crown Prince?"
"Detoxify? That's easy for you to say! "Gong Cheng smiled, but lowered his head and coughed a few times.
At this moment, Chang Xi said, "Your Majesty, this poison is the poison of the Nine Meridians Flower. There's no cure for it, but there's one thing that might work … It's just that … ordinary people can't get it. Even your servant doesn't have the ability to do so."
GongYimo was overjoyed. As long as there was an antidote, she would definitely be able to get it!
"Please tell me where the antidote is. I will definitely be able to get it!"
Chang Xi patted the Emperor's breathing as he said, "On the broken stairway to heaven, there's a nine-step divine stairway. It's said that on the sixth step, there's a flower called Mu Luo Jin. That flower can cure hundreds of poisons …"
However, the broken stairway to heaven was a cliff. That nine-step divine stairway wasn't a place that people could climb. Not to mention Chang Xi, perhaps only the legendary person of the Transcendent State could do it?
GongYimo suddenly looked up!
"I can do it. I will definitely find the antidote!"
Emperor Gong tiredly looked up at her. He wasn't willing to wait for death. Although he knew what the antidote was, he was helpless against it. At this moment, GongYimo made such a request. Although he didn't believe that GongYimo could do it, her intentions were still very moving.
If she wanted to go, then let her go. When she arrived and found the cliff's wind blades, she would give up.
"Good … .zhen, send someone to pick up the Crown Prince. You … .take care of yourself."
GongYimo nodded. She was indeed a newborn calf who was not afraid of the tiger. However, she also knew that if Chang Xi couldn't do anything about it, it wouldn't be that simple.
Therefore, she said shyly.
"Your Majesty, don't tell the Crown Prince about this matter. I will definitely get the antidote! Even if you really suspect that the Crown Prince did this, before I come back, promise me to protect him, okay? "
Emperor Gong suddenly smiled, "Good, you're a loyal girl. Your request … .zhen … .agrees!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After GongYimo finished speaking, she turned around and left. Emperor Gong didn't look like he had much time left. She must act quickly.
Moreover, she had a good impression of Gong Cheng. She felt that he was a good uncle, and it would be a pity if he died like this. When she found the antidote, she would persuade Gong Cheng to go to Mount Yun Ding with her. He should be able to live for a few more years if he ignored worldly affairs and practiced the martial arts of Mount Yun Ding.
With countless beautiful thoughts, GongYimo confidently left.
Emperor Gong kept his promise and brought Gong Che to Zhaoyang Palace Hall.
When Chang Xi arrived at Zhaoyang Palace Hall, there were already a few more corpses in the death row prison. Gong Che felt very strange. Even if his brothers were anxious, it was impossible for them to be so impatient as to constantly send people to kill him … .the only explanation was that there must be something that he and Gong Dai didn't know about.
When Gong Che arrived at Zhaoyang Palace Hall, all the mysteries were answered. His Imperial Father's expression was decayed, and his face was filled with death aura!
Emperor Gong could hide it from the world, but he couldn't hide it from the people who poisoned him. All the people behind the scenes knew that the Emperor's life was short, so they wantonly attacked Gong Che. Gong Che was shocked. If things were not that simple, then what about Mo 'er?
Seeing Gong Che looking around, Emperor Gong couldn't help but laugh.
Although he was poisoned to the heart, his spirit was still good. "You're looking for … that girl GongYimo?" This name was given by him in the past, and it sounded pretty good.
Gong Che nodded, "Imperial Father, Mo 'er doesn't know the severity of the matter, but she did everything for this son. You don't need to be angry with her. Please return her to this son!"
Emperor Gong chuckled, "Now …. Gong Dai should be gathering troops, right? The people who poisoned him wanted to get rid of the Emperor's side, and you also wanted to beat them at their own game. But Zhen's appearance made you miscalculate …. "
Emperor Gong couldn't be blamed for hiding this matter. He had many sons. Once everyone knew that he didn't have long to live, it wouldn't be so peaceful now. The entire capital would be in chaos.
But Gong Che couldn't listen so much. He asked repeatedly, "Imperial Father! Where is Mo 'er? "
Emperor Gong glared at him, "Mo 'er, Mo' er, if Zhen really died, you will be the one who will be the Emperor. How can you … .cough … .be so sentimental?!"
Gong Che suddenly took a few steps forward, and Chang Xi stood between the father and son, "Your Highness, please don't act blindly without thinking."
Gong Che's whole body tensed up. Separated by Chang Xi, he asked for the last time, word by word.
"Where is Mo 'er?"
His heart was uneasy. He always felt that something more unexpected was about to happen.
