Chapter 67 - Despair

Zhao Chen woke up from his coma. His entire body was aching and he couldn't help but let out a groan!

With that groan, someone immediately rushed into the room. It turned out to be Yue Fei!

"Your Highness, you've finally woken up?" Yue Fei said excitedly with tears in his eyes.

"I'm so thirsty … Bring me water! " Zhao Chen struggled a bit before replying.

When his voice left his mouth, he realized that his voice was incredibly hoarse! Not only the voice, Zhao Chen could not help but blink his eyes as he felt that the room in front of him was a little dark.

"What is it? My eyes are blurry? " Zhao Chen said in disbelief.

In the past when he was in the modern world, his eyes were slightly shortsighted. However, ever since he teleported to Song Dynasty, he became the crown prince with extremely good eyesight. Especially after cultivating inner force, both of his eyes could almost see in the dark! But now, he actually had a feeling similar to what he felt when he was nearsighted in the past! It was not even the same as before!

"What's going on?" Just as he was about to sit up, he felt a sharp pain coming from his chest. He couldn't help but scream out!

Yue Fei had already anxiously walked in, he placed the cup down and anxiously asked: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"I feel pain all over!" Last night, I was hit twice by that woman. Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, you … "You …" Yue Fei wanted to say something but hesitated.

Previously, Zhe Keqiu, Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and the rest had already guarded the place for two days. They had left just two hours ago, and only Yue Fei had been guarding here! Before he left, Li Gang told Yue Fei not to tell him about Zhao Chen's condition! Now that Zhao Chen said it, he did not know how to answer.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chen looked at Yue Fei with some suspicion.

"Your Highness … No …. Nothing! "You're fine!" Yue Fei said softly.

"That's not right!" You don't usually do this! Yue Fei, you never lie to me, right? " Zhao Chen suddenly shouted.

This Yue Fei had a famous straight forward personality in history, he never dared to lie to the Sovereign! Seeing Yue Fei's expression just now, Zhao Chen knew that something was wrong!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" You. There's really nothing wrong! " As Yue Fei spoke, he couldn't help but tear up!

"Speak!" How was my injury? Am I dying? " Zhao Chen felt a chill in his heart, and said.

"Your Highness!" No! You are not this injured! "But …" Yue Fei's face was full of hesitation!

"They won't let you tell me?" Zhao Chen took a deep breath and said.

Yue Fei nodded.

"If you don't tell me, I can only make wild guesses! I can only feel that I won't be able to live for much longer! That would make me feel worse, more frightened! Yue Fei, tell me the truth! " Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, you are severely injured!" Your entire body's eight extraordinary meridians have been damaged. I'm afraid you will not be able to practice martial arts from now on! " Yue Fei said.

"Can't I practice martial arts anymore?" Zhao Chen was stunned in place all of a sudden!

An extremely dejected expression emerged on his face! In the past when he was in the modern society, he had been looking forward to being able to practice martial arts! At that time, under the influence of Wuxia novels and Wuxia TV series, he had his own Wuxia dream! At this point, he could realize his dream! However, why was the heavens so cruel? They wanted to take away his dreams once again!

After a long, long time, Zhao Chen finally regained his senses, laughed bitterly, and said: "I'm just not allowed to practice martial arts! Forget it, I also didn't know how to practice martial arts a year ago! Even the royal family didn't practice martial arts! "That's nothing!"

"Your Highness … Not only can't you practice martial arts! " Yue Fei remained silent for a while, and said.

"Oh? What else? You said it all? " Zhao Chen said.

As he was speaking, Zhao Chen suddenly started coughing! He coughed out a mouthful of phlegm! However, when he spat out the phlegm, he suddenly felt that something was wrong! Zhao Chen looked down, and when he did, his expression changed again! What was underneath it was not phlegm at all, but a mouthful of blood! He actually spat out a mouthful of blood!

"I... What's wrong with me? " Zhao Chen said in a daze.

"Your Highness, your internal organs are injured, it's extremely severe … I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover! " Yue Fei had finally revealed everything!

"You mean I'll be like this in the future?" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes sir!" Yue Fei said dejectedly.

"His internal organs were injured, and are unable to recover completely … Isn't this similar to getting phthisis? Do I have to drag my sick body around and live like this from now on? " Zhao Chen said in a daze.

"Yes …" "Moreover, moreover …" Yue Fei heaved a long sigh. He really couldn't continue!

"Anything else?" Am I going to die soon? " Zhao Chen remained silent for a long while, and said.

"I'm afraid His Highness won't live past the age of 20!" Yue Fei said.

This time, Zhao Chen laid there silently! His mouth was dry and he wanted to drink water, but now he no longer had the desire to drink water!

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Yue Fei was shocked, and anxiously asked.

Zhao Chen still did not say a word!

Yue Fei was extremely shocked, no matter how he shouted, Zhao Chen did not make a sound!

He didn't know what was going on with Zhao Chen! He was extremely anxious and scared!

"Oh right, how did I forget about that! I need to inform Lord Li and the others as soon as possible! " Yue Fei thought!

He quickly left the bed and sent people to notify Li Gang and the others, he did not mention anything!

But, when he came back, Zhao Chen was still lying there. No matter what he said, Zhao Chen did not say a single word!

Zhao Chen laid there in a daze. He opened his eyes wide, as if he was looking at the top of his head, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything!

There was only one word in his eyes — despair! Or perhaps it was just one word — "Heart of Death"!

He had never dreamed that it would be like this!

During this year, he experienced countless things, countless hardships! After leaving Kaifeng, he came to Xiangzhou like a beggar! After leaving Xiangzhou, he endured Zhe Keqiu's oppression, house arrest, and Nvzhen's pursuit! He held hopes in his heart that as long as he endured, worked hard, and persevered, he would ultimately be able to defeat Zhe Keqiu. In the end, he would be able to truly control this country, and in the end, save his own royal father and mother. But now, Yue Fei had actually cruelly told him that he could at most live to twenty years old! Moreover, he would be like a tuberculosis addict, half dead!

At this moment, he felt as if the sky had fallen! There had never been a moment of such despair!

Zhao Chen still did not speak, only that he slowly closed his eyes, as tears suddenly flowed out from his eyes!

Ever since he came to this era, he had experienced so many trials and tribulations, yet Zhao Chen had not shed a single tear.

"Your majesty, it's all because of this humble subject's inadequate protection, causing your majesty to be injured!" This humble official deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes! Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely kill these two assassins and avenge you! After killing the two assassins, I will personally commit suicide in front of His Highness, and use it to apologize for my crimes! " Yue Fei kneeled on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

He kowtowed with all his might, and a small crater appeared on the ground! The only sounds that could be heard in the room were 'bang bang bang' sounds!

"Don't do this. Yue Fei, it's not your fault! It's my bad luck! " Zhao Chen finally spoke out!

However, his voice was weak and listless. It was obvious that he was extremely discouraged!

"Your Highness, it is all this humble subject's fault!" Yue Fei was tearing up!

"I don't blame you!" I can live up to 20 years old, which means I can live up to 8 or 9 years! I need to think about the future! Yue Fei, you don't need to take revenge for me, nor do you need to commit suicide to apologize … "I only have one thing to give you …" Zhao Chen remained silent for a long while, before he slowly spoke.

"What is it?" Even if this subordinate's body is to be smashed to smithereens, I must complete it as well! " Yue Fei said.

"Nothing!" I just wanted to let you take back the Central Plains and save my royal father and mother! " Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, don't worry!" This subordinate will do everything in my power to complete this task! " Yue Fei said.

"I'm tired, go out first! Oh right, if the teachers and the others come, tell them not to come in! I'm very tired and I want to rest! " Zhao Chen said.

His heart was tired. At this moment, he did not want to talk to anyone. He only wanted to be alone and lie down quietly!

Yue Fei nodded, then left the room!

Not long after, Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and the others arrived, and Yue Fei stopped them in their tracks! Hearing that Yue Fei actually revealed Zhao Chen's condition, Li Gang could not help but curse loudly! Yue Fei lowered his head in silence, he did not think that this matter would deal Zhao Chen such a huge blow! He had great martial arts skills and was proficient in military strategies, but he was still a bit inexperienced in the human world! At this moment, he was blaming himself in his heart once again!

"The crown prince has some guards by his side, but not a single woman! These guards can protect His Highness, but I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of him! How about this, I will go find a few maids and have them take care of His Highness the Crown Prince! " Zhe Keqiu also came, and said now.

Hearing Zhe Keqiu's words, Li Gang nodded! He felt that it was impossible for Yue Fei and the rest to take care of Zhao Chen, so how could these men take care of the patient? It looked like he had to hire a few maids!

Zhao Chen didn't know how long he had lain for, but he fell into a deep sleep!

In his dream, he returned to the modern society. He saw his parents in the modern society, and he threw himself into their arms, crying non-stop! However, in the blink of an eye, he saw the royal father and mother of this era. Even though his relationship with them was not that deep, he felt that they were his backers in his dreams. The blow this time was enough to make him despair to the extreme. And in this desperate situation, what a youth wished for the most was his parents!

Suddenly, Zhao Chen felt that something was amiss, he could faintly feel that someone was wiping his face, causing Zhao Chen to suddenly wake up!

His eyes suddenly opened, and they met!
