Qianqing Palace.
Li Qing put his hand on Zhu Jianshen's wrist, and his brows immediately became serious. The problem was much more serious than he expected.
The queen mother, empress, prince, prince, imperial physician... gathered around, all with nervous faces.
But don't let anything happen... This is what everyone wants.
Especially the imperial physician, who is afraid that Li Qing will say: Sorry, I can't do anything, so let the imperial physician do it.
Queen Mother Zhou had met Li Qing, but it was a long, long time ago. She had not had much contact with Li Qing, so she was not very impressed. She was threatened by Li Qing that time, but she did not see Li Qing's true face. I'm nervous and have random thoughts.
"Sir...sir, how is the emperor's dragon body?" Mrs. Zhou's face was full of worry.
She wasn't pretending, she actually cared.
Firstly, this is her biological son, or her only son; secondly, once the emperor has a good relationship, the prince will succeed him. It is true that the empress dowager is more noble than the empress dowager, but this is not the case in reality.
As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current person in charge.
The emperor's biological mother was obviously closer than the emperor's grandmother.
Unless, like the Empress Dowager Zhang, she was granted the power of supervising the country by her son, otherwise, the slaves in the harem would have to... change their families.
For the Zhou family, nothing could happen to the emperor's son.
The same is true for the concubines. With the emperor and her husband here, they can always enjoy themselves in peace, but if the prince takes over, their good days will come to an end.
It is also the same principle for one emperor to have one courtier and one harem to change.
Speaking of the beneficiaries, I am afraid that there is only one mother and son, Ji Shufei and Zhu Youtang.
However, Zhu Youtang did not hope that his father would make any mistakes. His desire for imperial power was not too strong, especially for Concubine Ji Shu. Although the emperor's husband did not favor her, she cared about him very much.
The few nights she spent listening to him speak were the sustenance of her spirit, an opportunity she never wanted to experience again...
Li Qing slowly retracted his hand and said: "It doesn't matter who we are, leave quickly. Your Majesty needs to be quiet. Too many people here will also affect my performance."
"Get out, everyone." Zhou immediately started to drive people away...
Not long after, the inner hall was empty, leaving only the Empress Dowager Zhou, Empress Wang, Concubine Ji Shu, and Prince Zhu Youtang.
Empress Dowager Zhou began to appoint officials and make wishes, saying: "Sir, if you can save the emperor, you will be rewarded with thousands of taels of gold, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and be granted the title of marquis. I can still make the decision."
Li Qing ignored her and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please go out. Prince, please move on. During the acupuncture process, no mistakes are allowed. Please understand."
Queen Mother Zhou's face froze, Queen Wang and Concubine Ji Shu were also uneasy.
At this time, Zhu Youtang, who had always had no backbone, stood up and said: "The emperor's grandmother, mother, and concubine, just follow what the husband said, let him treat the father with peace of mind."
Empress Dowager Zhou was silent for a moment and said: "We must rescue the emperor."
"I'm going to give you the acupuncture." Li Qing nodded and motioned for the others to leave. ΟиЪ.ōΓG
"Grandma Huang." Zhu Youtang tugged on her sleeve and said to Li Qing, "Please sir, do your best to save my father the emperor."
"Um."
Zhu Youtang sighed, "Let's wait outside."
The moment he walked out of the inner hall, Zhu Youtang's whole person seemed to have undergone a transformation. Frankly speaking, he was not ready yet, but he knew that he might have to shoulder this burden.
Zhu Youtang straightened his back and thought to himself: Zhu Youtang, no matter you are ready or not, you must do what you should do...

"Well……"
Zhu Jianshen groaned and murmured, and opened his eyes quietly, his eyes were empty and lifeless.
"Just wake up." Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your body is in danger now. Don't think about sad things anymore. The dead are gone, and the living are like this. You are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty..."
Barabara...
Li Qing spoke sincerely, but Zhu Jianshen didn't seem to hear a single word. He stared blankly at the top of the beam and never said a word.
Li Qing was furious.
If the situation didn't allow it, he would have picked it up and given it a beating.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Li Qing's eyes were dangerous.
Zhu Jianshen didn't seem to feel it, he sighed again and slowly closed his eyes.
"You..." Li Qing raised his palm, but found it difficult to bring it down.
At this moment, Zhu Jianshen is the uncle.
The young man who had been worried for more than twenty years, this time, it made him too worried.
There is no other way but to coax...
However, in the past, he ignored Zhu Jianshen, but today's Zhu Jianshen... he can't reach that high.
People just ignored him.
Li Qing's words were filled with anger, but Zhu Jianshen was as silent as a lump of wood, not even raising his eyelids.
"You..." Li Qing almost wanted to get angry, but he held it back, "Okay, I admit, I was a little cold to you before, but don't stay silent."
Li Qing surrendered, but it was of no use.
After a long stalemate, but no effect was seen, Li Qing had no choice but to say: "She is still lying in the mourning hall. The funeral affairs have not been settled yet, so you just keep lying like this."
This time, Zhu Jianshen reacted.
He exhaled faintly and sighed from his throat: "Here comes someone."
His voice was so soft that Li Qing could barely hear it, and it was even harder to hear from outside.
Li Qing helped him convey: "Someone is coming quickly."
'Click rub rub...'
The queen mother, empress, prince, and concubines rushed in. Seeing that the emperor was awake, they were all inexplicably excited.
"Your Majesty, Father..."
"Slow down, everyone, slow down." Li Qing stopped a few people, "Listen to the emperor."
Several people fell silent for a moment, looking at Zhu Jianshen attentively.
"Zhu Youtang."
"My son is here."
Zhu Jian took a deep breath and said slowly: "The Ministry of Etiquette is supervising the funeral arrangements for the imperial concubine. We must not slack off in the slightest."
"My son, I obey."
"Hmm..." Zhu Jianshen paused for a long time and then said: "Mother."
"The Queen Mother is here, son, you have to cheer up..." Queen Mother Zhou kept gushing while wiping her tears.
Zhu Jianshen's tired face showed a hint of irritation, "Stop crying and listen to me."
"Uh-huh, your Majesty, tell me." Queen Mother Zhou stopped talking.
"Huh... From now on, we will select the crown princess." Zhu Jianshen paused and added weakly, "Select nearby, don't delay for too long, the queen and concubine Shu will also check it."
Empress Dowager Zhou was stunned, and then burst into tears. She could not tell that her son was explaining his funeral arrangements.
Queen Wang and Concubine Ji Shu couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhu Youtang knelt beside the bed, held his father's hand tightly, and said with a cry: "Father, you will be fine, you will be fine..."
Zhu Jianshen silently tilted his head to the side and said in a low voice, "Go back and get busy."
"emperor……"
"Back...cough cough cough..."
Li Qing said hurriedly: "Don't let the emperor worry, just do what the emperor said."
"My concubines (sons and ministers) obey your orders."
Empress Dowager Zhou worriedly warned: "Son, nothing will happen to you."
Seeing that her son ignored her, she wiped away her tears and left lonely with her daughter-in-law and grandson...
"gentlemen…"
"Say it." Li Qing leaned forward, "As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
"Da Ming... I'll let you worry about it from now on."
"You..." Li Qing was furious, "You are only 40 years old, so why do you slack off when you encounter setbacks? You are her man, but you are the emperor of tomorrow..."
"I'm tired, so tired..."
Li Qing was silent.
After a long time, he said warmly: "Take a rest when you are tired. You are worthy of the country, the country, your ancestors, and the people of the world;
You have not let anyone down, and you should not be let down. If you want to rest, let's rest. I only have one request, live, live, don't lose the hope of life, okay? "
Zhu Jianshen collapsed not just because he was overly sad, but more importantly because he was really tired.
He has been under a lot of pressure since he became the prince. He has been working hard for more than 20 years and has never slackened off. He is indeed tired.
There are also harem women...
This emperor is really good. He fulfills almost all of Li Qing's fantasies about the emperor. He even... makes Li Qing more satisfied than Zhu Zhanji.
Li Qing didn't want to let down Zhu Jianshen like this, and he couldn't let him down.
Li Qing said warmly: "You have been in the capital for half your life, and you have never been far away. You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but you have never seen the beauty and beauty of the world. While you are alive, sir, I will take you to see and experience it."
After a pause, "I think she doesn't want you to be like this, just live for her and see for her..."
Zhu Jianshen's health was very bad, but it was not incurable.
Over the years, he had lost a lot of energy and energy, but it still did not lead to his untimely death.
He was only forty years old, and his body was not that fragile. As long as Zhu Jianshen had Zhen'er's desire to live, even if it was only half... or even one-third, Li Qing would be sure to cure him.
No one can wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, and similarly, no one can save a person who is begging for death.
Even with Li Qing's medical skills, he would be helpless when encountering Zhu Jianshen like this.
"In the past few years, I have nothing to do. If you are willing, I can even take you to places outside the Ming Dynasty..." Li Qing said, "With me, where in the world can't you go? "
…
Zhu Jianshen's empty eyes gradually became brighter, "Then... there is Mr. Lao."
"Hey, okay." Li Qing let out a long sigh of relief. Before he could continue, Zhu Jianshen added: "Seven days after the coffin is laid, Zhen'er will be buried. I will send her off in person."
Li Qing: "..."
He sighed and said, "Then you have to cooperate with me."
"Um…."

"Sir, how is my father's dragon body?"
"Not very optimistic..." Li Qing shook his head gently, "I will try my best to save him."
Zhu Youtang's face was full of disappointment, and then he forced a smile and said, "Sir, don't be afraid. You are wholeheartedly saving my father, and I will not inflict any crime on you. If my father can be saved from danger, I will convince my father to do so, as the Queen Mother has promised." cash."
After a pause, "Father, Emperor Long is ill. Sir, please stay in the palace. Please come with me."

After wandering to the side hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang said: "This is where the prince once lived. Sir, he lives here. If you need anything, sir, just ask and don't be polite."
"Thank you, Prince." Li Qing thanked him with his hands.
Li Qing only taught him for a few days, and after so many years, he didn't know much about the current prince's political ability...
However, whether it should be said or not, this prince is indeed benevolent and filial.
Although he is over a hundred years old, Li Qing is still good at judging people. Zhu Youtang's performance just now was definitely not a lie.
