In the Eastern Palace, Zhu Houzhao was resting in a rocking chair when Liu Jin hurried over and knelt to report.
"Your Highness, I just heard that... His Majesty seems to be on the verge of death."
Zhu Houzhao: "On the verge of death? He isn't dead yet."
"And what use is it telling me? Go find the imperial physicians!"
Liu Jin was still reluctant to give up. "Your Highness, the court officials are all saying His Majesty got this way because you angered him."
Zhu Houzhao: "Mm, that's right. I did anger him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao rolled over and continued to doze with his eyes closed.
In the Qianqing Palace, Empress Zhang heard the report from the young eunuch who had gone to the Eastern Palace to deliver the message, and flew into a rage.
"You unfilial son! You unfilial son!"
