Chapter 351: The Emperor of the Restoration Collapses
When Liu Quan entered the palace, he found Zhu Cijiong's face pale, lips purple, and teeth clenched. Qin Xiaomi was still snoring softly beside him.
Liu Quan was so frightened that his face turned pale. After shaking Qin Xiaomi twice and not waking her up, he simply went up and slapped her in the face. With a loud slap, Qin Xiaomi woke up and roared, "Who dares to hit me? Believe it or not, I will let the emperor kill you!"
Liu Quan didn't care about that and just opened his mouth again. This time Qin Xiaomi was completely awake. Liu Quan asked, "What's wrong with the emperor? How did you serve him?"
Then Liu Quan shouted urgently to the outside: "Someone come! Quickly call the imperial physician!"
Qin Xiaomi woke up and was stunned when she saw Zhu Cijiong's appearance.
She went up and quickly felt his pulse and breathing. He was not cold, and he was breathing faintly. She immediately began to give Zhu Cijiong artificial respiration. She pinched Zhu Cijiong's nose, took a deep breath, and began to blow inside.
Then he began to pinch Zhu Cijiong's Ren Zhong. Liu Quan was so frightened that he shouted, "Lady Qin! What are you doing? Are you trying to murder the emperor?"
"You damn eunuch, I'm trying to save him! If I wait for the imperial physician to come, he might have died long ago! Hurry and get me a glass of water!" Qin Xiaomi shouted.
She had never imagined that upon waking up, her husband would be like this. He was the emperor, and because they had been too crazy that night, he died on her belly. She couldn't explain herself, so the only thing she could do now was to rescue Zhu Cijiong.
Liu Quan quickly brought a glass of water and handed it to Qin Xiaomi. She took the cup, took a big sip, and then sprayed it hard on Zhu Cijiong's face.
A mouthful of cold water sprayed on Zhu Cijiong's face, and Zhu Cijiong began to hum softly. Liu Quan was extremely excited. He shouted, "Wake up, wake up! The emperor is awake!"
Qin Xiaomi was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly put on her clothes. The imperial physician finally arrived. Imperial Physician Hu hadn't come because he was old, so it was Imperial Physician Zhong who came today.
Doctor Zhong was forty years old and had extensive experience in emergency treatment. He took the emperor's face, felt his pulse, and asked, "Did your majesty have sex last night?"
Liu Quan nodded, and Doctor Zhong asked again, "Did you take any medication to enhance sexual performance?"
Liu Quan nodded again. Doctor Zhong said angrily, "The Emperor is young, how can you use such strong drugs to enhance sexual pleasure? You are harming the Emperor!"
"Let's not talk about anything else now! Let's see if the emperor can be saved?" Liu Quan said crying.
"I will give the emperor acupuncture first. I can only wait and see if it works. You go to the imperial pharmacy to make ginseng soup for the emperor and keep it ready for me at any time!" said Doctor Zhong.
"Yes! I'll go right away!" Liu Quan immediately arranged for someone to leave. On the way, he went to tell the queen about the emperor's illness.
When Lu Ling heard that the emperor was ill, she immediately panicked and quickly took a sedan chair to go to the emperor. At this time, she regretted it in her heart and saw Qin Xiaomi, who was serving beside her, and she slapped her in the face.
She truly regretted introducing Qin Xiaomi to the Emperor, but she was too pregnant to use any strength. She was afraid of hurting the fetus if she used too much strength, so she called out to the palace maids and eunuchs around her, "Beat her! Beat her hard! Is this how you serve the Emperor?"
Qin Xiaomi was stunned. She never thought that after she slept with the emperor several times, the little emperor would become like this.
Now she was standing here being beaten innocently, unable to refute, and could only wait and take it.
At this moment, the eunuch shouted loudly: "Princess Kunxing comes to the audience with the Emperor and the Empress!"
Qin Xiaomi felt like she was falling into an icy cave, and she was finished this time.
Princess Kunxing was originally happy today, having visited the palace to see her younger siblings. Furthermore, Mr. Zhang had already arrived in the capital and was already at the palace. Since her due date was almost the same as Lu Ling's, she followed Lu Ling's advice and waited in the palace with her. This was completely against the rules, but now that the royal family was mostly dead, who could possibly care about them?
Since they were allowed to go, and Mr. Zhang was there, they would naturally feel much more at ease. Moreover, Princess Kunxing and her family had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so entering the palace was like entering their own home, and they could enter without notifying anyone.
Of course, if it was Zhao Xiaofei or someone else, it wouldn't work because you're a man. The imperial harem can only have one man, and that's the emperor.
Arriving at her brother's sleeping palace, she found the gates tightly shut. More guards were standing on either side, so she sent a maid forward to announce everything.
The guards knew that Princess Kunxing of the imperial court was someone they couldn't afford to offend, so they quickly reported the matter. Then a eunuch shouted loudly, "The princess has arrived."
Liu Quan was not a eunuch like Wei Zhongxian. He was timid and afraid of things, so he immediately came out to greet the person in charge.
"Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess! Oh no, something has happened to the Emperor!" This was the first sentence Liu Quan said when he saw the princess.
Princess Kunxing was also confused after hearing this. What happened?
"What's wrong with the emperor?" asked Princess Kunxing.
"The emperor spent a good night with Concubine Qin last night, but he didn't wake up this morning. The imperial physician came and said that he had excessive physical exhaustion and suffered from vertigo and heart disease!" said Liu Quan.
"What? Take me in and take a look!" Princess Kunxing said sternly.
Liu Quan quickly welcomed Princess Kunxing into the palace. When Kunxing saw her brother lying on the bed, she was immediately frightened.
At this moment, Zhu Cijiong's face was as white as paper, and his lips were a pale gray. He looked completely like a dead person.
She had seen many dead people, and she knew at once that her brother was beyond saving. Tears immediately streamed down her face. She regretted not listening to her husband. Why did she think that Qin Xiaomi was a good match for her brother?
"Keep Concubine Qin under my watch. Do not let her out without my order, and do not let her escape or commit suicide! Do you understand?" Princess Kunxing said to Liu Quan in a stern voice.
"Yes!" Liu Quan immediately asked the eunuch to carry Qin Xiaomi out.
Lu Ling came over and cried to Princess Kunxing, "Sister, the emperor is like this now, what should we do?"
"Where is the imperial physician?" asked Princess Kunxing.
"The imperial physician went to see if the ginseng soup was ready. He said to use the ginseng soup to keep the emperor alive first!" Lu Ling said.
Just as Lu Ling finished speaking, Doctor Zhong came in. Without any greeting, he held the bowl and asked the eunuch to pry open the emperor's mouth and pour the medicine down his throat.
This is the best Korean ginseng, and everyone hopes that the emperor will wake up after drinking it.
After a while, Zhu Cijiong finally opened his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then his head tilted and he died!
Doctor Zhong rushed forward to feel the emperor's pulse and cried out, "The emperor has passed away!"
This sentence made everyone kneel down and cry loudly, and the entire Forbidden City was filled with sorrow.
However, Kunxing knew that this was not the time to be sad. She quickly helped Lu Ling up and said, "Block the news immediately! We can't let outsiders know that the emperor is gone!"
