"Well! I was prepared for her to die! But we're both lucky, we managed to save her. Come help me tie her up, to prevent her from waking up and committing suicide!" Zhao Xiaokun said. Then Zhao Xiaofei came over to help, and together they tied up Empress Zhou.
After doing all this, Zhao Xiaofei opened the door and looked out. He saw the backs of Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, who quickly left Kunning Palace.
Zhao Xiaofei was eager to see if anyone in the side hall had survived, so he went there. When he opened the door, he was greeted by a terrifying scene. Several palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the ground, wailing. Several women were hanging from the beams. Two women were also lying on the ground.
Zhao Xiaofei didn't have that much medicine, nor did he have that much time to care for the woman hanging from the beam. Even if he saved her, he couldn't take her away. Even if he took her away, it would be useless. How could Queen Zhou help him?
Two women lay in a pool of blood, one of whom seemed to still be breathing. Zhao Xiaofei walked over, but a eunuch stopped him and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Zhao Xiaofei took out a musket from his body and fired at the eunuch. With a bang, the room immediately became quiet. The other palace maids and eunuchs were too frightened to speak. Zhao Xiaofei pointed at a palace maid and asked, "Who are the two women on the ground?"

Zhao Xiaofei then said, "I am following the Emperor's order to carry the Queen's body out of the palace! If you want to live, follow me. If you want to die, did you see that eunuch just now? This is his fate!"
The palace maids and eunuchs looked back at the unfortunate man whose face was half gone, and nodded frequently. At this time, Zhao Xiaokun came into the room and said, "Why did you shoot? Get out of here!"
"We can't move it! I'm an experienced person, so let's help. Let these eunuchs and palace maids help carry Queen Zhou out, so we can save a lot of effort!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
But Zhao Xiaokun found Concubine Yuan lying there, still alive, and he slowly walked towards her.
